The New Jersey Devils have lost five games in a row and something has to change while Jack Hughes is injured. It can't be yet another season that goes down the drain because their best player is sidelined. With that, the team is looking for upgrades this season to provide even more depth. According to David Pagnotta, "I fully expect Tom Fitzgerald (Devils' GM) to be engaged in some of the big fish, whether it's Marchessault or Stamkos...Brayden Schenn in St. Louis." The Nashville Predators are...

The Maple Leafs’ modest three-game winning streak is over, but they managed to pick up a point from a game in which they probably deserved none. For all the rightful consternation about the loss of Joseph Woll and the impact of his injury absence, Dennis Hildeby was the Leafs’ best player (until the shootout). Unfortunately, […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs cant' keep their goaltenders healthy. After Anthony Stolarz was already on the shelve, and unavailable, Joseph Woll has now gone down, sustaining a lower-body injury on a non-contact play against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. The team announced ahead of their Saturday night tilt against the Montreal Canadiens that Woll is out for at least a week, but it's worth noting the team has been all over the place with their injury timelines this season.

After I wrote last week about Garret Sparks suiting up with Bloomington as their EBUG for a week, I didn't expect to write a second story about a former NHL player finding work in the ECHL. The man to the left, though, has given me that opportunity as he signed a standard player contract with the ECHL's Jacksonville Icemen yesterday, and the veteran of 73 NHL games appears to have played last night as the Icemen hosted the Atlanta Gladiators. If you don't recognize him from that picture immedi...

Just like that, the previously hapless Maple Leafs emerged from a tough five-game road trip with a 4-1-0 record while outscoring the opposition 16-4 in three straight wins, two of which came in Florida and Carolina.

But they held on for their third straight win, a 5-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, as Dennis Hildeby came in to hold down the fort in the third period. Meanwhile, the Leafs continue their search for top-six help, and the latest reports have them as one of two teams labeled with 'strong interest' in Calgary Flames veteran forward Blake Coleman. Ac...

When it comes to sought-after trade assets, the Toronto Maple Leafs' cupboard is pretty bare. Gone are their first- and second-round picks in the 2026 Draft; gone is their first-rounder in 2027; gone are two of their top prospects in Fraser Minten and Nikita Grebenkin. Easton Cowan? Forget about it. He's not going anywhere. So if GM Brad Treliving is intent on boosting the troops with a viable addition, what does he have to offer up in a trade that other teams would be interested i...
