It wasn’t a perfect night at TD Garden on Thursday, as the Bruins let two different two-goal leads slip away against the Sabres. However, they managed to recover in time to skate off the ice with a 4-3 win, thanks to Marat Khusnutdinov’s game-winning goal 2:07 into overtime. The win was the second in a […]
The Sens get the job done in the shootout.
The Islanders lost easily in Raleigh, a fairly predictable result made moreso by the pre-game news that Mathew Barzal would be scratched as discipline for being late to the morning skate. It was never really close, with the Isles down 2-0 just over five minutes in — ex-Isles Mike Reilly adding a WTF shorthanded wraparound […]

The Flyers closed out the first month of the season in a positive way, with their third straight victory, this time over the Nashville Predators. A lousy opening period that saw the Flyers outshot 10-3 would turn out not to be a sign to things to come, with Trevor Zegras stepping up in a big way, scoring twice and assisting on another tally. The Basics First period: No scoring Second period: 12:45 – Trevor Zegras (Matvei Michkov, Owen Tippett), 15:41 – Jamie Drysdale (Michkov, ...
It isn't often that a player with NHL experience finds himself accepting a contract offer from an ECHL team, but we've seen a few players turn what some believe to be a "last-ditch effort" to make their way back to the NHL into a long-term residence with their new team. Goaltender Zane McIntyre is in that situation now as he signed a standard player's contract today with the Tahoe Knight Monsters after Jordan Papirny was recalled by the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights. McIntyre's return to Nort...

Philadelphia Flyers captain and center Sean Couturier appears to have gotten hurt during Thursday’s night game against visiting Nashville. Couturier got hit with a shot that looked like it hit him around the left elbow. He dropped to the ice but was able to skate off under his own steam. Couturier sat on the bench not feeling the best.

Friday night is the scariest night of the year. Call it spooky season, or call it fright-fest, or whatever else you might want, but it’s the one night where everyone huddles up and lets cold shivers race up and down our spines. Yes, it’s October 31 – the last night for NHL teams to get within four points of a playoff spot before Elliotte Friedman’s fabled Curse of November 1st kicks in and all but officially starts eliminating also-rans from the playoff race. Oh, it’s also Halloween, if you’re...

The St. Louis Blues have a few significant pending free agents coming next offseason, some of the RFA and some of the UFA variety. As the Blues are off to a disappointing start to the season (3-6-1, last place in the Central Division), it's expected that GM Doug Armstrong may start to shake things up sooner than later and start wading into the trade market. One of the pending UFAs is bottom-six forward Oskar Sundqvist. The 31-year-old veteran is on an expiring $1.5 million cap hit,...
