The San Jose Sharks are in Pittsburgh today for a day game against the Penguins. The big story is the move the Penguins just made in the net, trading the team’s top goaltender to the Edmonton Oilers for the Oilers’ top netminder. On Friday, it was announced the Penguins acquired Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak and Edmonton’s 2029 second-round draft pick for goaltender Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin.
The Penguins are 14-8-7 and are currently second in the Eastern Conference wild card ...

In the wake of Connor Bedard ‘s injury last night , the Blackhawks are recalling Nick Lardis from Rockford to hopefully help the offense.
Lardis, 20, scored his 13th goal of the season for Rockford last night; he’s tied for fourth in the AHL overall and ranks second among rookies in goals. Lardis’ 26 points lead all AHL rookies entering Saturday’s action.
Originally a third-round pick (No. 67) by the Blackhawks in 2023, Lardis broke records last year when he scored 71 goals in 65 reg...

I found this Stuart Skinner facial expression funny and appropriate today for a number of reasons. I'll get to the reason for the title in a second, but the biggest reason was because the man making the facial expression was traded in what was being described as a "blockbuster" trade by pundits hours before an actual blockbuster trade happened. Perhaps we should stop throwing around hyperbole? At this point, everyone is asking why this trade was made, but I think we need to look deeper than th...

On Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers traded Brett Kulak in a package to land Tristan Jarry. It’s certainly a bittersweet trade. As frustrating as Stuart Skinner was at times, he was still an incredibly likable player who was great at his best, as well as durable. Kulak was a cap casualty and replaced by a…

The New Jersey Devils were one of the teams in the mix and that made an offer for Quinn Hughes, but the Minnesota Wild landed the star defenseman. That doesn't mean the Devils aren't going to continue trying to upgrade, but there are two players they can do without who are taking up a lot of cap space. Unfortunately, they have trade protection, so it's tougher to move them. Elliotte Friedman said, "Ondrej Palat is the one I think a lot of people are talking about, but he has protection, and I ...

The Toronto Maple Leafs just got another frustrating update on Brandon Carlo. After missing time since mid November, Carlo underwent foot surgery on December 3 and is expected to be out at least another month, according to head coach Craig Berube. That pushes his total absence closer to eight weeks, and it keeps Toronto in survival mode on the right side of the blue line.
