Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett has never been considered much of a bruiser. Although he measures in at a sturdy 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, the 26-year-old’s game has primarily been predicated on speed and skill as opposed to physical dominance. Well, that appears to be changing. Now in the midst of an impressive hot streak, Tippett is not only doing what he does best — finding the back of the net — but also leaning into the physical side of his game to become a literal force o...

The start of the 2025-26 season has brought two of them to Pittsburgh in 19-year-old defenseman Harrison Brunicke and 18-year-old forward Ben Kindel (the No. 11 overall pick in this […]
Artemi Panarin is in a familiar place at the top of the New York Rangers scoring stats through eight games. But how much longer will he be in the familiar confines of Madison Square Garden? That's the big question surrounding the Blueshirts' perennial leading scorer. Panarin, 34 next week, is in the final season of his 7-year, $81.5 million contract ($11.6M AAV), and is a pending unrestricted free agent next July. We've already heard that he refused the Rangers' request for him to take a...
Colorado Avalanche backup goaltender extraordinaire Scott Wedgewood received recognition from the league earlier this week for his stellar play with a 3-0-0 record, .954 save percentage and 1.00 Goals Against Average. He was named third star of the week for his efforts. After weeks of fakeouts, the Quebec Nordiques throwback jerseys are finally here. They […]
The Minnesota Wild must upgrade their top-six. Mats Zuccarello is still injured, and they are stuck with slotting both Vladimir Tarasenko and Marcus Johansson in their top six.

The addition of Trevor Zegras and breakout of Jamie Drysdale is making the Flyers' power play better than it has been this decade.
Another Sabres star might be getting restless, and if history’s about to repeat itself, the Rangers might just be in position to write a better ending this time.
It was once again a successful weekend for Oilers prospects playing in North America. Paul Fischer stays hot with five points in four games, and the same can be said for Tommy Lafreniere, who is on a four-game goal-scoring streak.

After blowing a two goal lead with three unanswered goals against on Sunday, the Utica Comets fall to 0-3-1 to start the season. Falling Comets So far my prediction that the Comets would be much improved this season is not looking so great even with the low bar of last place in the North Division […]
On Monday, NHL Central Scouting released their preliminary watch list for the 2026 NHL Draft. They rate players as an A, B, C, W or LV, with an “A” grade meaning they’re labeling the player as a first-round prospect for the 2026 NHL Draft. A “B” is a second- or third-round grade, “C” is the fifth or sixth round, “W” is a sixth- or seventh-round grade and “LV” is for limited viewing (usually because of injury). A couple of the NHL draft writers I cite frequently shared their thoughts ...
Divine Deablo’s absence was keenly felt on Sunday night, as the defense struggled to stop the run and keep Christian McCaffrey under control through the air.

Entering the season, Ottawa was looking to prove they were an ascending team, a playoff staple after earning a wildcard berth with…
Bread is served—but not much else. Artemi Panarin snapped the home goose egg, yet the Rangers couldn’t build on it as Minnesota controlled nearly everything else.
That's Wild It's always nice to see a player's first. Danila Yurov was able to net his first NHL goal during the Minnesota Wild's 3-1 win over the New York Rangers Monday night. Kirill Kaprizov was his typical self, Jonas Brodin got on the stat sheet, and Filip Gustavsson was cool and collec...
