Today the Texas Rangers travel over to Peoria, AZ where they will take on the reigning AL West champion Seattle Mariners who are fresh off being just a handful of outs away from the World Series before heartbreak last October. Texas will send LHP Jacob Latz to the mound opposite RHP Logan Gilbert for Seattle. […]
The Edmonton Oilers, despite the return of assistant coach Paul Coffey behind the bench, still need to address their defensive concerns ahead of Friday's trade deadline. This much is clear. They have been linked to a couple of candidates. We know that their interest in Toronto Maple Leafs' puck-mover Oliver Ekman-Larsson "is real." But according to insider Frank Seravalli, the Oil are also "fixated" on Blues top-four d-man Justin Faulk. According to Frank Seravalli Oilers are fixated on ...
The Edmonton Oilers’ attempts to trade Andrew Mangiapane have failed, thus far, to find him a new home. And with the Oilers going 1-2 out of the Olympic break with disappointing losses to the Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks, the team has taken the drastic measure of placing the disgruntled winger on waivers. Joining…
The Edmonton Oilers have been having plenty of trouble finding a trade partner to take Andrew Mangiapane's $3.6 million cap hit (this year and next) off their hands. They've now placed him on waivers. The Edmonton Oilers have placed Alec Regula & Andrew Mangiapane on waivers. pic.twitter.com/pR2zuvekmG — PuckEmpire (@puckempire) March 1, 2026 Alec Regula also hits the waiver wire. The moves are to hopefully create cap and roster flexibility as we head towards the trade deadline on ...
Fresh off a regulation win over the Edmonton Oilers , the San Jose Sharks are back on the ice and ready to welcome the Winnipeg Jets into town. The Jets are one of six teams that did not play yesterday and so the team is in town and well rested for today’s game. Winnipeg was in Anaheim on Friday and lost to the Ducks 5-4 in overtime. Connor Hellebuyck was in the net for the loss, his first game back since winning the gold medal for Team USA at the Olympics. While not mathematically elimin...
No rest for the victors, as the Islanders return to Long Island to host the Florida Panthers after winning in Columbus last night. The Panthers are rested and might even be a little healthier, having lost at home to the Sabres on Friday night. The two-time defending champs are 30-26-3 on the season and sit […]
Most would say that they just don't have the horses up front, but the Los Angeles Kings have decided that head coach Jim Hiller isn't the man for the job any longer, relieving him of his duties. We have relieved Jim Hiller of his duties and named D.J. Smith interim head coach for the remainder of the season, Kings Vice President and General Manager Ken Holland announced. In addition, Kings player development coach Matt Greene will join Smith as an assistant coach.… pic.twitter.com/3MCzFf...
The Edmonton Oilers’ Jekyll-and-Hyde season continued on their past three-game road trip. They gave up yet another lead to lose to the Anaheim Ducks in the first game, looked like men among boys in a dominating 8-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings, and just when you thought they had turned the page, they came…

The Phantoms kicked off their weekend back-to-back last night with a wild one. The first of two games against the visiting Hartford Wolf Pack, the Phantoms were able to jump out to an early lead, capitalizing on a strong start, and chasing the Hartford goaltender from the game with two goals in just over five minutes. That goaltending change, though, did spark something for the Wolf Pack, and between an extra bit of jump mustered on their side and a few key mistakes made by the Phantoms, ...
Media Bytes rounds up the latest Rangers chatter, from Trocheck dominating the trade board to growing questions about Adam Fox and Braden Schneider’s place in New York.
Minimal rest is available to the Hawks this weekend as they head to Salt Lake City this afternoon for a game against the Utah Mammoth. These two teams will become quite familiar with each other in March, as they’ll play three times in the next two weeks to account for 75 percent of their meeting this season. The other 25 percent came back in October when the Hawks won 3-1 at the United Center for their first win of the season. Since then, a youthful Utah lineup has worked its way into pos...
Embroiled in an increasingly heated battle for positioning in the Atlantic Division, the Montreal Canadiens hosted the Washington Capitals on Saturday night with a chance to move back into the top three. On the heels of a disappointing overtime loss that saw the Habs surrender a third-period lead, they left no doubt this time around, putting home two empty-netters late in the game to secure a huge 6-2 regulation win. The win, and frankly the overall success of the Habs this season wouldn’...
The Winnipeg Jets began the post-Olympic break off by stumbling out of the starting blocks, as they let a 2 goal lead disappear in the 3rd period versus Anaheim. After rookie defenseman Elias Salomonsson scored his first NHL goal to put the True Northers up 3-1 early in the final frame, the hometown Ducks dominated play to eventually tie things up with 1:22 remaining. The Jets almost escaped overtime with the game deadlocked, but with 13 seconds still left on the scoreboard a puck slipped by C...
With the Flyers up 2-1 and trying to hang on for a regulation win against the Boston Bruins on Saturday, Flyers captain Sean Couturier had the puck in the neutral zone. There was just over a minute to go, and Couturier could’ve simply taken a shot at the wide open net and, hopefully, hit the twine and finally score a goal. Fortunately for the team, the veteran skated the extra few strides, got over the red line and fired it toward the Bruins net. If he missed it was not the end of the world, i...
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
One step forward, one step back. After an 8-1 win over the Kings in Los Angeles that felt like the team’s most complete effort of the season, the Edmonton Oilers followed it up Saturday with a 5-4 loss to a San Jose Sharks team that came in riding a five-game losing streak. Macklin Celebrini opened…

We've heard the reports for a while now— New York Rangers ' sought-after trade piece Vincent Trocheck wants to stay in the East . And he's not pulling any punches about this demand.

The Flyers came into yesterday afternoon’s game riding high. They had closed out their road back-to-back, which marked their return from the Olympic break, with a massive overtime win over the Rangers on Thursday, and after a difficult run before the break, there was, doubtless, a feeling that their fortunes might be shifting, and this could be the win that helped springboard them into a more successful run down the stretch. But even in that simmering optimism was a knowledge that yesterd...
Today is an important day in the prospect development cycle, the day in which future NHL contracts can be signed and registered.
