Sacramento won two in a row and suddenly they have a game on Brooklyn. Tonight can change all of that. We have a thread dedication to […]
This weekend, the hockey world is mourning the devastating loss of Jessi Pierce and her three children. The news could not feel more senseless. The world lost a beautiful family, a wonderful friend, and an essential voice in the Minnesota Wild community.

It was another very early Sunday matinee affair as the Colorado Avalanche briefly visited the Nation’s Capital on their east coast swing to take on the Washington Capitals.

Game Preview
Connor McDavid's frustration, after the Edmonton Oilers were outclassed by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night, was clearly evident. He insinuated that their second-place standing in the weak Pacific Division is nothing to be proud of. "It's a bit of a pillow fight right now."

Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny rubs a whole lot of people the wrong way, and now it has led to some name-calling by a San Jose Sharks defenseman.
During the 4-1 win in San Jose, Konecny was just playing his game. While being one of the more offensively charged forwards in the Flyers lineup, he was also jawing at opponents, getting involved in the post-whistle scrums, and just being a general nuisance. All 5-foot-10 of him was, and has always been, committed to creating a whole ...
The Edmonton Oilers announced last week that superstar Leon Draisaitl would miss the rest of the regular season with his lower-body injury . That insinuates that he would be back for the playoffs. But fans in Edmonton are panicking a bit after hearing an interview that Draisaitl did over in his homeland, where he's gone for treatment. 🚨 Sky exclusive: Leon #Draisaitl is currently in Munich receiving treatment for his injury from well known sports doctor Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt. Speaking to ...
Drew Fortesue signed a three-year entry level contract with the New York Rangers on Saturday, ending his career at Boston College after his junior season. Fortescue joined the Eagles as a part of a loaded freshman class in the 2023-2024 season and immediately became a key member on the team’s blueline. He was a strong […]
It seems like the Edmonton Oilers will be without Trent Frederic for an unknown amount of time. If you told me that earlier this season, I wouldn’t have been too bothered, given his lack of production and the team being shelled when he was on the ice. But the thing is, since the calendar flipped,…

At Timo Meier’s best, he’s a barreling power forward who can run over people in his pursuit of the puck and the net. He fires one-timers, creates rebound after rebound, and is a 30-goal threat. At Timo Meier’s worst, he is a drifter. There does not seem to be a strong point to his game […]
Following a loss on Friday night, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators on Sunday afternoon — a team that was supposed to be at the bottom of the standings, but has snuck their way back into the playoff conversation.
The Predators are currently in the second wild card spot with 73 points. That’s right: even though Nashville was supposed to be hanging out in the basement of the league alongside the Blackhawks, they’ve won three straight, have a 5-4-1 record in their last 10 g...

“I thought we were opportunistic. I even told them after 40 minutes of play. Our special teams were outstanding, but we were giving up too many [high-danger scoring chances for Hartford]. We made some plays when we had to, and you’re going to have nights like this, but it’s not a recipe for success moving […]

The Philadelphia Flyers play overtime hockey in what feels like every other game. After back-to-back shootouts in Anaheim and Los Angeles, Philadelphia has played 25 overtime games in 68 contests, with four in a row and three of them being shootouts. It’s not the sign of a bad team– the Minnesota Wild have the most in the NHL with 26– but it does make playing catch-up a lot more difficult, especially when giving other conference opponents the extra point. They’ve found themselves near the bott...
