The Islanders are back from the road and primed for that classic “first game after the trip” letdown, although several games on their Western sojourn were a letdown, so hopefully they don’t feel like they can ease into things. Meeting them this afternoon in Elmont are the Buffalo Sabres, who have been on an absolute […]

Tage Thompson’s line gets the puck to the front of the net just 15 seconds in. That can’t happen with the same regularity it did last week if Montreal wants to win.
At the 44-second mark, Buffalo gets the puck past Lane Hutson at the blue line, and Jason Zucker scores on the ensuing two-on-one. Montreal didn’t hear the wake-up call 30 seconds earlier.
The Habs have begun to come alive a bit after the goal.

The Minnesota Wild’s goaltenders have quietly become a big part of how the Wild get out of their zone cleanly, generate rush chances, and protect their own blue line. It’s all about how they handle the puck.

A nightmare has struck the city of Philadelphia. During the Flyers’ big and embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night, goaltender Dan Vladar suffered an injury and had to be pulled after the first period.
While the Flyers confirmed the swap to put Sam Ersson in was due to injury (and not for allowing two goals on five shots in 20 minutes), the true confirmation that Vladar is going to at least miss Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins came the morning after. Accor...

After a tough end to the Flyers’ run of home games over the last week with two pretty brutal losses to the Lightning, the Flyers will be looking for something of a reset as they head out on the road for a quick back-to-back before heading back home on Saturday. Of course, it’s not going to be an easy task for them, as they’re set to face off against a red-hot Sabres team this evening, but here’s hoping that with a few more pieces looking like they could be back in the lineup for them tonight, ...
