The Jets are officially looking for a new offensive coordinator. Tanner Engstrand will not return for a second season with the team per Adam Schefter. Multiple reports in recent days suggested that the Jets were likely to strip Engstrand of his play calling duties. That led to an obvious question. What was the point of […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off one of their most disappointing efforts of the season. After a big 7-3 win in Colorado against the best team in the league, they were shut out and failed to generate many scoring chances as they returned home against the Islanders on Monday night. Not many Flyers players stuck out in a positive way, but Matvei Michkov did look like himself again and was moved up to the top line in the third period. That was just a temporary measure, though, based on ...
The Hawks are up north this evening for a Central Division matchup against the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota’s been one of the league’s biggest surprises through the first half-ish of the season, sitting fifth in the league standings with 68 points in 53 games (29-14-10). The Wild surged in late 2025 with seven-game winning streaks in both November and December that would’ve sent them to the top of the division were it not for the absurd pace being maintained by the league-leading Avalanche. ...

After a less-than-ideal performance on Sunday evening on home ice, the Blackhawks get a quick two-game trip that starts with their first look at Quinn Hughes on the Minnesota Wild. The Wild come in only 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and locked into a heated battle with Dallas for home ice in the Central Division’s 2-3 matchup in the first round of the playoffs. The Blackhawks threw their lines in a blender on Monday, so tonight will be an experiment with the healthiest roster they’ve had i...

Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone spoke to the media before the final game of the UEFA Champions League’s league stage against Bodø/Glimt at the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Wednesday night. When asked if he was surprised by concern over the lack of incoming transfers, Simeone responded, “that’s a question for you to answer among […]
We are more than three weeks removed from the end of the 2025 season, but numerous key positions on the Jets coaching staff remain unfilled. The team fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks after a Week 15 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Almost two weeks after the end of the season, the Jets then fired six […]

When Joel Eriksson Ek went down with an injury in the Minnesota Wild’s January 8 game against the Seattle Kraken, it was cause for significant concern. The Wild already need center depth, and that issue becomes even worse without Eriksson Ek on the ice. To add to the distress, Eriksson Ek has...

With plenty of positive goalie news amongst the Devils prospects in recent weeks, one goaltender’s achievements went largely unnoticed. Veeti’s Very Good Week Goaltender Veeti Louhivaara has excelled since joining the Chicago Steel of the USHL midseason, his third team he’s played for this year. In seven games for the Steel, Louhivaara is 3-1-3 with […]
After the Philadelphia Flyers dropped a crucial game against the New York Islanders Monday night, head coach Rick Tocchet was not trying to be careful or gentle with his words. He was asked how Trevor Zegras has been performing as of late and he let it rip. The Flyers came into Monday night’s game as a high-pressure situation. If the were able to secure a win in regulation, they would suddenly find themselves back in the tightly contested playoff race with some solid footing as we head in...

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The Flyers are on the downswing again. So much of this first half and change of the season has been made up of pretty dramatic peaks and valleys, a whiplashing that the team is still working at figuring out how to tamp down. The Flyers entered last night’s game on a high — just about as much of a high as possible, after delivering handily the league’s best team their sixth regulation loss of the season (and just their second on home ice) — and they had a chance to prove that they are...
When the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired forward Egor Chinakhov from the Columbus Blue Jackets a little more than a month ago, it seemed like a worthwhile bet. Far from a guarantee to work out, but it was taking a talented player that had shown some goal-scoring ability in the NHL that may have simply needed a […]
