Initially, we knew that six players were confirmed for the team: Toronto’s Auston Matthews, Florida’s Matt Tkachuk, Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk, Vegas center Jack Eichel, Bruins defender Charlie McAvoy, and Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes. The rest of the mix was widely speculated and, to some, seemed to be set in stone. But Team USA’s general manager Bill Guerin and his inner circle still had some tough decis...

Earlier this week, I wrote why I was cautiously optimistic about the Devils heading into the second half of the season. The Devils then proceeded to play some of the most uninspired and frankly gutless hockey we’ve seen from them over the next five periods in Toronto and Columbus. It took a third period explosion […]

The Florida Panthers (21-15-3) and New York Rangers (19-18-5) will take it outdoors tonight at the 2026 Winter Classic at LoanDepot Park in Miami.
Florida, which will sport uniforms inspired by the Tropical Hockey League’s Miami Clippers, blew a late two-goal lead in Tuesday night’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Leading goal-scorers Brad Marchand and Sam Reinhart lit the lamp in the third to give the Cats a seemingly comfortable cushion with just under five minutes to go. U...

NHL Player of the Month: Juraj Slafkovský
You could see that Juraj Slafkovský was beginning to take command of the game as November was coming to a close, leading a line with Ivan Demidov and Oliver Kapanen. The aim of that lineup decision was to give the rookies a boost and help them win more puck battles as the Habs dealt with a handful of injuries in the forward corps. The result was helping Demidov claim NHL rookie of the month honours with 14 points in 15 games, and a point-per-game ...
