Danila Yurov Is Giving the Wild Something They've Always Needed
Danila Yurov gives the Minnesota Wild something they have badly needed for years: a big, skilled, two-way forward who legitimately projects as a long-term answer down the middle. Listed at 6-foot-1 and around 180 pounds, Yurov has a frame that can handle heavy minutes at center once he finishes...
Public Skate: Bruins vs. Jets
Welcome to another night of hockey, folks! Overall, taking four points out of six on a three-game road trip is pretty good, even if the way the B’s lost two games was a bit annoying. Points remain at a premium for both the Bruins, who currently find themselves in a playoff spot, and the Jets, […]
Ryan Johansen Announces Retirement At 33
Ryan Johansen’s NHL career has officially come to an end. Johansen announced his retirement at age 33, closing the book on a 13-season career that included All-Star honors, a Stanley Cup Final run, and more than 900 games played across multiple teams.

Sergei Bobrovsky's Contract Demands with Panthers Revealed
Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito was able to work wonders last June after the team won its second straight Stanley Cup, to keep all of their key pending unrestricted free agents in the fold. He was able to re-sign Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad and Brad Marchand all to long-term extensions. Now, their iconic goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, a pending UFA this summer, is wondering, 'What about me?' And in fact, he's been eyeing one of the aforementioned extensions, specifically, as a starting ...

GDB 70.0: Oilers and Panthers renew their rivalry (7 PM MT, SN)
The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers’ disdain for one another is real. It isn’t manufactured.

Breaking Up Hughes and Faber Could Rejuvenate the Wild
The Minnesota Wild’s recent losing run isn’t cause for alarm, at least not yet.

Bill Guerin recen...
‘I’m just trying to finish my hit’: Predators’ Wiesblatt says he wasn’t trying to injure Oilers’ Draisaitl
The man who took out one of the Edmonton Oilers‘ top stars has shared his side of the story.

Flyers’ Owen Tippett is becoming untradeable
The major talking point through this entire Philadelphia Flyers season is about which wingers will eventually make way and be moved from this team. It almost feels like a good problem to have, but the Flyers have way too many quality top-nine wingers as of right now and will need to find new homes for them. But one player that has been consistently seen as potentially the odd man out, is becoming someone the Flyers just can absolutely not part ways with. It’s a picture that has already be...
Are the Vikings Out on J.J. McCarthy?

Report: Flyers nearly acquired Patrik Laine at NHL trade deadline
The Philadelphia Flyers were not one of the busiest teams at the trade deadline this year, but they reportedly were calling the Montreal Canadiens about a goal-scoring winger that they probably could’ve had for very cheap. Instead of adding a whole lot, the Flyers paid more attention to addressing some problems at the trade deadline. They moved from their winger surplus and got a very high-potential defenseman in the Bobby Brink-David Jiricek deal with the Minnesota Wild. They were able t...

Let’s Go Crazy: Blackhawks at Wild Preview
The Blackhawks and Wild renew acquaintances on Thursday night in the Twin Cities, just about 48 hours after the Wild beat the Hawks 4-3 in overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center, which has been the outcome of every meeting between these two Central Division foes this season. There’s nothing new to report on either team, so no need for a lengthy preamble here. The win on Tuesday means that it’s now a 19-game unbeaten streak for Minnesota (18-0-1) against Chicago, a streak that’s ju...

Pre-Scout: Oilers depth looks to prevail in Stanley Cup rematch against tanking Panthers
Sure, there are injuries to key players from the recent Stanley Cup Finals, forcing them out of tonight’s game. But as long as the Edmonton Oilers are playing a team wearing Florida Panthers’ jerseys, the game means more. The Oilers didn’t paint a Picasso against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, but withstood mistakes…

Flyers prospect David Jiricek is heating up for the Phantoms
It’s been well-documented that newly-acquired defenseman David Jircek’s first game with the Phantoms was, at the very least, an exciting one — the clip of him tripping over his own feet, falling down, and leaving the Charlotte player uncovered to walk in and score got a lot of play, but after that challenging start to his Phantoms tenure, Jircek has really settled in quite nicely, and showcased some of the most exciting elements of his game as he’s continued to get comfortable and ramp up. ...
Penguins’ turnaround already sought as road map
The Pittsburgh Penguins haven’t even qualified for the playoffs yet, with no guarantee that they will. However, after being picked as a last place team by just about every publication everywhere, the team already has more points in 68 games this season (84 and counting) than they managed in the entire 2024-25 season (80).
