“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...

It was the Nikita Kucherov show in Edmonton on Saturday night, as the Russian star led the Lightning to a 5-2 win over the Oilers with two goals and two assists. Kucherov leapfrogged Connor McDavid into the league lead in scoring with the four-point performance. He now sits two points clear of Edmonton’s captain in…
Welcome back to March Madness Gameday, Miami Hurricanes hoops fans!

Good morning, folks… After two disappointing seasons in a row, the Texas Rangers sought to reset their offensive philosophy this spring. Jeff Wilson says that, as the team leaves Surprise, the vibes are good. Veteran reliever Ryan Brasier opted out of his minor league contract yesterday, as he was not going to end up making […]
With the Atlantic playoff race seeming to heat up more by every minute of game time, the Montreal Canadiens have done themselves few favours of late. Three regulation losses in their last five games made Saturday night’s contest with the New York Islanders – a team also desperate for wins to get back into the playoff picture – a must win. It was a very close game all the way into the third period, but the Habs pulled away quickly in that frame, earning a massive two points in regulation that t...
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Almost got it. The Brooklyn Nets gave the New York Knicks all they could handle, but ultimately fell short by one point, 93-92. The losing streak is up to six. The opponent tonight is praying for some lottery luck. The Sacramento Kings have had a rough season but hope things turn around in the NBA […]

The 17-win Nets are up against the 18-win Kings in the ultimate tank-fest at 6 PM ET, which makes today’s games all that much more exciting. Sacramento is one game ahead of Brooklyn in the standings, so if the Nets pull this one out then they’ll be tied for the third-best odds at the No. […]
In this week’s Media Bytes, the message is clear: no free agency savior is coming—so the Rangers’ path forward runs through trades.
I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that the Oilers were far from their best with the Panthers in town on Thursday. Despite being built up as a Stanley Cup rematch, Edmonton was mightily outworked by a shorthanded Florida club that wound up controlling the night from start to finish. Sunday’s…
A three-goal third period and a monster performance from Jeremy Swayman powered the B’s to their most important win of the season (for now), as they beat the Red Wings 4-2 in Detroit. When the B’s went down 2-1 just four minutes into the third via an Alex DeBrincat goal, you could be forgiven for […]
