And while certain teams have been mentioned as likely landing spots, we're getting a little more clarity on where he'd be willing to sign an extension. And while the d-man only has a six-team no-trade list, giving him limited say in the matter, where he does have a say, is where he'd be open to extending. Insider Frank Seravalli explain...

The Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled this season and with the league's worst power play, decided to fire assistant coach Marc Savard. General manager Brad Treliving spoke to the media on Tuesday ahead of their afternoon affair with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and opened up about what could be coming next. From the sounds of it, head coach Craig Berube's job is very safe, and regardless of the outcome this season, there won't be a coaching change in Toronto. Berube was apparently pissed of...

The Chicago Blackhawks limp into Tuesday’s final matchup before the holiday break with the Philadelphia Flyers carrying a growing losing streak and an injury list that’s starting to look uncomfortably bleak.
The Flyers arrive in Chicago as one of the league’s quietest success stories, having picked up at least a point in 18 of their last 23 games while going 12-5-6 over that stretch. That run has vaulted them all the way to second in the Metropolitan Division and in the Eastern Conference...

A Vikings win is always great! However, the injury to JJ McCarthy really stinks. The team really needs to be able to evaluate his play on the field which has seen ups and downs. The ups have been really nice while the downs can mostly be chalked up to him having very little snaps. The […]

The Blackhawks are hurting right now — literally and figuratively. They’re 2-7-1 in their last 10 games and have lost their last five in a row. And they’ll start tonight’s game without Connor Bedard or Frank Nazar available; Nazar left the game in Ottawa and will miss the next four weeks. So much for a merry Christmas, eh?
Unfortunately, the Blackhawks will not get their captain, Nick Foligno , back in the lineup tonight against a Flyers team that hosted (and beat) the Canucks last night ...
