Nashville Predators forward Erik Haula should generate some interest this offseason if he decides to test the free-agent market. The 35-year-old forward had a solid 2025-26 season with the Predators, as he recorded 14 goals, 24 assists, and 38 points in 81 games. With numbers like these, he showed that he can still provide decent offensive production. Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to sign Haula if he tests free agency.

Because of this, let's look at three players the Rangers could target this offseason in free agency. Alex Tuch, RW, Buffalo Sabres After trading Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings t...
It's hard to remember back to October and November. Back before the playoffs, before the Quinn Hughes trade, before Jesper Wallstedt broke out as a season savior, and when Marco Rossi and Zeev Buium roamed the ice. But if you go all the way back, you'll see a team that looks kind of like they do now...
Through two playoff games this year, Connor McDavid has yet to register a point. So how have the Anaheim Ducks been so successful at keeping the Edmonton Oilers captain off the scoresheet so far?

The Ottawa Senators have their proverbial backs against the wall this weekend. Down 0-3 to the Carolina Hurricanes in their first-round series, it's win-or-go-home. Or in this case, stay home. Game 4 is Saturday in Ottawa. But the Sens will have to do it without their entire top defense pair. Top d-man Jake Sanderson has been ruled out with a concussion. He left Game 3 midway through the second period Thursday night after taking a hit to the head from Hurricanes forward Taylo...

There’s always a slight chance it’s a doctored image, but a social media post this afternoon might fan some flames leading to tomorrow night’s Game 4 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins. A 14-second clip was posted this afternoon, showing a woman wearing a Travis Sanheim jersey approaching a vehicle with Flyers winger Owen Tippett in the driver’s seat. It apparently took place after Game 3 at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with the player leaving in his vehicle to head home. Th...

One year ago, the Philadelphia Flyers were sitting on their couches, hoping the ping pong balls might fall their way at the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery. The rebuild was still very much a rebuild. Matvei Michkov had a strong rookie season, Jamie Drysdale found his way, and there were a few other improvements you could point to, but the Flyers were still searching for another X-factor or two to really get them to the next level. Well, it didn’t take too long for Danny Briere to find the nex...

Around the midway point of the third period on Wednesday night, with the Flyers leading 3-1, the Penguins were hoping to cut the deficit with pressure in the Flyers zone. The puck was...

There’s a good news, bad news way to look at the first two games of the Edmonton Oilers’ first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks. The bad news is that the Oilers have split the start of the series, and their star players haven’t been their star players. The good news is that the Oilers have…
