14-year NHL veteran Vladimir Tarasenko had a redemption season with the Minnesota Wild in 2025-26. After looking like he might be done as a top-notch scorer, with an 11-goal year in Detroit last season, the Wild took a chance and acquired Tarasenko from the Red Wings last June. It paid off handsomely. A six-time 30-goal scorer in his younger days, the Russian forward registered 23 goals this season. In addition, he played a mentor role for his young linemate, Russian rookie Danila ...

Texas Rangers lineup for May 27, 2026 against the Houston Astros: starting pitchers are Jacob deGrom for the Rangers and Mike Burrows for the Astros. Texas will try to keep the offense going after yesterday’s 10 run explosion, with a lineup highlighted by new infielder Nicky Lopez. The lineup: Pederson — DH Osuna — LF […]
The Texas Rangers have signed infielder Nicky Lopez to a one year deal, the team announced today. To make room for Lopez on the active roster, the Rangers have designated outfielder/DH Andrew McCutchen for assignment. I’m really baffled by this move. McCutchen hasn’t hit well this season, slashing .192/.277/.260, including a .186/.300/.302 line against lefthanded […]

When the Toronto Maple Leafs claimed Troy Stecher on waivers from the Edmonton Oilers back in November, it was sort of a "break glass in case of emergency" situation, as Toronto needed to add some defensive depth with the team being riddled with injuries to their blueline. But Stecher immediately grew into a crucial, valued member of the Leafs' defense corps. His high level of compete and tenacity earned him significant ice time in the top-four, while averaging over 20 minutes of ice ti...

The fallout from the Colorado Avalanche's disastrous four-game ouster at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights is only just beginning in Denver. What went wrong for the Presidents' Trophy-winning Avalanche that led to getting swept in the Western Conference Final by Vegas? Injuries? Goaltending? Poor performances on the ice from key players? Maybe any of the above. But according to longtime Denver sports insider Tony Renck in the Denver Post , it is head coach Jared Bednar w...
