The Philadelphia Flyers have reached the half-way point of their season and have posted a 22-12-7 record, good for third in the Metropolitan Division. Despite the team's success this season, GM Daniel Briere is still thinking long term, which includes ongoing trade conversations involving defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen. According to Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco the Flyers have Ristolainen available on the trade market. The towering right-handed blueliner hasn't lived up to expectation...

Fresh off the Christian Dvorak five-year extension, it sure sounds like there’s going to be more business in the coming weeks for the Philadelphia Flyers.
This time, it’s his linemate Trevor Zegras who’s at the center of those discussions. Zegras, in his press availability prior to Tuesday’s win over the Anaheim Ducks, seemed like a guy who was quite intent on re-signing in Philadelphia.

The San Jose Sharks showed why the team is dangerous when it clicked in the third period. The Sharks turned up the heat, controlling the puck, winning battles along the boards, and burying timely goals to pull away from Columbus. Energy filled the tank at home, and the team’s identity was on full display.

Ten minutes behind the starting time, the Sharks lost the opening faceoff, another Tuesday game.

The Philadelphia Flyers are halfway through the 2025-26 season. They have 22 wins through the first 41 games. Last season it took them 48 games to get their twenty-second win. So far, they’ve probably exceeded the expectations of even the most hopeful fan, despite having a terrible power play, giving up the first goal far more often than not, and relying on a goaltender who played all of 30 games last year. Having said all that, there have been some surprises over the first half. And there’s b...

Matvei Michkov missed Tuesday’s game against Anaheim with an injured foot. But on Wednesday he took the optional skate with fellow Flyers winger Denver Barkey. And while the duo got some work and reps in, Michkov took it upon himself to teach Barkey how to execute a “Michigan.”
The three-minute video clip, shot from just behind one of the nets, sees Barkey and Michkov taking a few shots each into the empty net. But about 15 seconds into the clip, Michkov attempts a “Michigan,” roofing the...

Now with three straight wins in their back pocket, the Hawks are at the United Center once again to host the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night.
Many of the issues plaguing the Blues when these two teams met one month ago in St. Louis remain. They have the worst offense in the league (dead last at 2.49 goals per game) and aren’t much better on defense (3.35 goals against per game, 27th in the league). The power play and penalty kill are ranked in the 20s along with their shot attempt shar...

Yeah, it’s another late night national broadcast. And, yes, it’s two teams who are closer to the top of the draft lottery than the top of the standings. But the Blackhawks and Blues is always pure cinema, and tonight could be a fun one.
St. Louis comes in having won their last two games. The Blackhawks are undefeated in 2026. Get the coffee (or whatever else you choose to drink during the game) ready because this is going to be a late night of rivalry hockey at the United Center!
