On March 21, 2026, the Pittsburgh Penguins signed goaltender prospect Gabriel D'Aigle to a three-year, entry-level contract. D'Aigle was selected 84th overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft by general manager Kyle Dubas and the brass in the front office. While he's no Sergei Murashov, the team made quite the gesture to protect their investment in a prospect who's been below an AHL-tier goalie this season. "It is only because of very unique circumstances that we must say goodbye at thi...

The Baltimore Orioles are stuck in the middle heading into Monday's deadline, and that ambiguity has turned outfielder Taylor Ward into one of the more sought-after names on the board. Per Ken Rosenthal and Jayson Stark of The Athletic, the Yankees , Phillies , Rangers , and Guardians are all showing interest in Ward. Why Baltimore Is Stuck In The Middle The Orioles sit at 53-56, 2.5 games back of a playoff spot, and president of baseball operations Mike Elias made clear the team isn't pic...

Today marks the final day of play at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Windsor, Ontario. Expect 2026 Florida Panthers sixth-rounder Vilho Vanhatalo to be in the lineup when Finland (1-3) takes on nemesis Sweden at noon. The 18-year-old Vanhatalo has played in all four games and has put up a goal and an assist. The event closes with a battle between the United States and Canada at 4 p.m. Did 2025 fourth-rounder Shea Busch do enough in Thursday’s 5-3 win over the Finns to make the lineup ...
The New York Rangers have made no secret of wanting to turn defenseman Braden Schneider into forward help, and one idea that's been surfacing among fans is a swap involving Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright. But according to The Athletic's Vincent Z. Mercogliano , the fit isn't really there. Asked in his offseason mailbag whether a Schneider-for-Wright deal made sense, Mercogliano was skeptical. "I don't think it's a crazy concept, but there are pretty clear hurdles," Mercogliano wrote. "...

There hasn’t been a huge amount of turnover from the 2025-26 version of the Flyers to the one slated for training camp in September. There’s been a few guys put out to pasture, while others have entered the mix in the hopes they can help put the Flyers into the playoff hunt again and possibly put in a much deeper run. Obviously, had Leo Carlsson not had his offer sheet matched, it’s probably a safe bet he would’ve been topping this list quite easily. However, that’s not the case. What is ...
It’s only the second match of our preparations for the 2026-27 season. But it also being a derby versus Tottenham Hotspur, this clearly had higher stakes than usual for both sides.

We’re just under two months away from the start of another NHL season, this one the first to have 84 games. Two extra regular season games of Toronto Maple Leafs hockey, doesn’t that excite you?
