After a slow start to the season following the departure of Mitch Marner, the Toronto Maple Leafs have started to kick their season into gear. With Auston Matthews finally beginning to hit his stride and Craig Berube once again whipping a team into shape as they enter the second half, just like he did in St. Louis, things are now looking positive for a team who was in major flux just a month prior.
And a lot of that success has come off the back of their elite goaltending. The tande...

Calgary’s trade board is getting louder again, and insider Elliotte Friedman says the Nazem Kadri noise is still just noise, but Blake Coleman has legitimate traction around the league. On the 32 Thoughts podcast, Friedman said he has “nothing to add” on Kadri, while adding that there’s “a lot of interest” in Coleman, even if Coleman himself would be fine staying put in Calgary.

Philadelphia Flyers goaltending has officially reached a tipping point, and Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff reports the club is now considering trade market alternatives if Samuel Ersson’s slide keeps costing them points. Ersson’s numbers have been rough over a two year sample, and this season has dipped to an .858 save percentage with a 3.33 goals against average. With the Flyers sitting in the thick of the playoff race, they cannot afford many more nights where the margin disap...

A tough week on the road for the Rocket ended in a split in New York with a star-making performance on Friday night for Kaapo Kähkönen in a win in Rochester. That was followed up by a disappointing loss in Syracuse where the Rocket were unable to hold on to a two-goal lead against the Crunch. The split left the Rocket just four points up in the AHL’s North Division, and with a game against the Belleville Senators on Wednesday night.
To the surprise of no one it was Kähkönen in net again f...

Over the course of their three game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Penguins have registered just two goals as the offense has suddenly gone dry. While the goaltending and defense have been stellar over the same stretch, it’s going to be hard to win any games when the goal scoring completely evaporates the way it has […]
