Ilya Sorokin will start again tonight as the Islanders host Barry’s Predators. After starting what looked like another lost, tankable season, Nashville has rebounded a bit and is in shouting distance of the Western playoff wild card slots.

The Winnipeg Jets have 29 games left to play in the regular season….so this nightmare of a season is far from over at this point. Fortunately us fans will get a little break from having to watch our hockey team struggle, as the Olympics will shut down the NHL for three weeks. Just matches versus the Florida Panthers, Dallas Stars, & Montreal Canadiens to go before then. Once the league gets underway again, there will only be 10 days until the trade deadline is upon us, so GM Kevin Cheveldayoff...

The New York Islanders swung two trades this past week with Tri-State rivals, the second one bringing in Ondrej Palat and his $6 million cap hit for another year from the New Jersey Devils.

But we're hearing from insider Elliotte Friedman that Palat wasn't the Islanders' first choice as they w...

The San Jose Sharks have been rebuilding for a number of years now and they have built enough to be in the running for the playoffs this season. This isn't without struggles and the team definitely needs more to be able to compete, but it's a good start. For a couple of these latest rebuilding years, Mario Ferraro was a defenseman that has received plenty of interest, but now is in the final year of his deal set to become a UFA and the Sharks could use him. David Pagnotta said, "Mario Ferraro'...

The Minnesota Wild are looking for more ways to upgrade ahead of the trade deadline this season to have a larger advantage over the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars or to just keep up with them if those teams make larger additions, which it seems as though they're set to as well.

The Vancouver Canucks have no other logical choice than to continue to sell. They are dead last in the league with 41 points in 54 games and have already traded Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood. They have to get as much out of their pending UFAs and even others as they can and commit to a rebuild or big changes. Evander Kane is going to be gone one way or another by the end of the season as he doesn't fit in the plans for the Canucks and hasn't had the most impactful season. He has nine goals ...
