Good morning, LSB. Evan Grant has observations from a game in which Evan Carter homered but the Rangers lost. Andrew McCutchen had an emotional first day back in a major league camp.

Since Flyers general manager Danny Briere had the interim tag removed, he’s done what he thought was the right course of action for the team in terms of the bigger picture. But one thing he’s seem to have been rather successful at is trying to help the team in terms of trades while also treating the Flyer heading out of town with some semblance of respect or consideration. In the long haul, it really isn’t going to help regarding how Philadelphia continues to right the ship, get younger, add m...
It was an extremely busy week for the Bakersfield Condors as they played five games in seven days. Unfortunately, the Condors just couldn’t find a way to string together a couple of wins, coming out of the week with two wins, two losses in regulation, and a shootout loss. After the hectic week, the Condors…

In his port-deadline press conference (see below) Julien BriseBois updated the gathered reporters on the status of a couple of injured players. It looks like Gage Goncalves is considered day-to-day. Could he be back for the Buffalo game on Sunday? Maybe. Chances are he’ll be out for a couple of more days before rejoining the team in game action. Nick Paul is still week-to-week according to the general manager. That’s good news for Conor Geekie, who is likely with the team until Paul is he...
Matthew Tkachuk scored the sixth hat trick of his career to lead the Florida Panthers to a 3-1 win over the Detroit Red WIngs at Little Casars Arena, ending a four-game losing streak. Tkachuk opened the scoring at 11:06 of the first period by one-timing a centering pass from Carter Verhaeghe past John Gibson. The Red Wings evened it up midway through the second when Alex DeBrincat batted the puck out of the air and into the net after Patrick Kane’s initial shot came off the back glas...

Recap of the game.
The Vancouver Canucks snapped a nine-game losing streak on the road with a 6-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night at the United Center. While the game wasn’t as dreadful as the score suggests, let’s recap this very winnable game for the Hawks. Ryan Donato opened up scoring just over a minute into the game after collecting his own dump-in. GOAL: What a move by Ryan Donato to open the scoring early. pic.twitter.com/1dbZ3yGdRf — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 7, 2026 ...
First period The Anaheim Ducks beat Samuel Montembeault 20 seconds into the game. Montreal challenges the play for offside, and it is determined that Chris Kreider was an inch offside on the play. The Habs get saved on this occasion. So Anaheim gets a shot on its next shift, and it also beats Montembeault. There’s nothing to save him this time. We’ve played 61 seconds of this game, and the puck has been in a net three times. The third time it’s Nick Suzuki who finds the mesh t...
Jackson Blake scored twice, Carolina survived the potent Edmonton Power Play, and the Hurricanes took their second straight on their Pacific Road Trip defeating Connor McDavid and the Oilers 6-3. It was the first game for Carolina since a quiet deadline day that saw the Hurricanes involved, per reports, in several discussions but ultimately settling […]
Following a monumental trade deadline which saw the return of Nazem Kadri, the Colorado Avalanche still had a game to play. One of the most important Central Division games was on tap this Friday evening in Dallas against the Stars. Ultimately the Avalanche would win 5-4 in a shootout after numerous last second goals in […]
The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. All the rampant speculation about what the Philadelphia Flyers could do before 3:00 p.m. on Friday has been now boiled down to what happened and what did not. The transactions have been finalized. We won’t have another trade made by the Flyers until the season around the 2026 NHL Draft in a few months — technically, they would be able to make a trade during the playoffs if they’re not a part of them, but that rarely happens. We only have what the ...
The trade deadline didn’t light a fire under the Edmonton Oilers. On Friday evening, the Oilers hosted the Carolina Hurricanes for a rematch of the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals. The Hurricanes throttled the Oilers, outshooting them 32-16 and outscoring them 6-3. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. Zach Hyman took…
This may have been as quiet of a trade deadline day as possible, but it was not just the Devils. We all knew coming into today that the New Jersey Devils were not in position to be “buyers.” They are well out of a playoff spot. The general consensus has been that the Devils were, […]
For the fourth consecutive trade deadline day, the Edmonton Oilers didn’t make a trade. Of course, the Oilers made their moves earlier this week, acquiring Connor Murphy, Jason Dickinson, and Colton Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks for a 2028 second, a 2027 first, and Andrew Mangiapane in two separate trades. Overall, those weren’t bad trades…
