The Minnesota Wild are trying to make another splash, and this time it's down the middle of the ice. General manager Bill Guerin has made it loud and clear to other executives around the league that his team will be in the market for a top-line center this summer. They've been linked to some big names already, including Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and New York Rangers' Vincent Trocheck. Guerin isn't shy when it comes to big offers, as t...
The Colorado Avalanche have their backs against the wall, down 3-0 to the Vegas Golden Knights. While general manager Chris MacFarland has done a great job constructed a competitive roster the past few seasons, once again heading into the offseason there's going to be some major decisions to be made. The Avs made splashes the past couple of seasons landing Martin Necas and reuniting with Nazem Kadri, however, there's not a ton of cap space to work with this offseason, and Daily Faceoff's Matt ...
Regardless of how the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoffs plays out, the Montreal Canadiens have some tough roster decisions coming this summer. General manager Kent Hughes has limited cap space, Lane Hutson's contract extension's kicking in, and there's several players on the roster who could become cap casualties. For starters, goaltender Sam Montembeault mid as well pack his bags. With how well Jakub Dobes is playing and how much potential Jacob Fowler has, Montembeault has quickly become the ...
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
That's Wild While the Toronto Maple Leafs might not necessarily move their captain Auston Matthews, that won't stop from a whole lot of speculation happening. The team is bad and the elite centerman is a free agent in two years, so it's bound to happen. But recently, a list of landing spots tha...
The Minnesota Wild have spent years trying to solve the same problem: They still don’t have a true, long-term answer at center. Joel Eriksson Ek is a valuable two-way anchor, but the team needs more speed, skill, and upside down the middle if it wants to compete with the best centers in the West. Th...
There's no player that fans of an NHL team will go to bat for more than a young prospect. There's also no player that those fans will get more frustrated with than that same young player.
Ten years ago today, it was a coming out party of sorts for Bryan Rust with two big goals in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Penguins had rallied back from a 3-2 deficit in the series to send things back to Pittsburgh for a seventh game and […]

Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend (if your country does that) and enjoyed hanging out with friends and watching NHL playoffs like I did. Somewhat shockingly, John Tortorella’s Knights have the Avalanche on the brink of a sweep. Meanwhile, the Carolina-Montreal Offer Sheet Series continues to be a close one. Islanders News We […]
*There was a lot to like in Rasmus Ristolainen’s season, but the biggest piece of all is the fact that we finally, finally, got to see Playoff Risto. [ BSH ] *Rodrigo Abols played his part well through his short season as well, but his status beyond this season remains something of a question mark. [ BSH ] *Shifting to the future though, we’re digging into some young free agents the Flyers might be interested in targeting later this summer. [ BSH ] *And, in our next installment ...
These are always the posts that I enjoy writing the least. It means another AHL season has come to a close in the Calder Cup playoffs, and it means that Laval Rocket coverage is winding down until late summer. It is a season coming to a close much sooner than the Laval Rocket, their coach, and their fans would have liked as they lost Game 5 of the division semifinals to the Toronto Marlies. The loss to the Marlies in the deciding game was a near perfect distillation of all the issues that...

First period Montreal has been able to clear the puck out of the defensive zone a few times, but that’s about the extent of their play through the opening two minutes. They haven’t found a lane to move the puck through yet. Kirby Dach tries to throw a big hit on Jaccob Slavin in Montreal’s first excursion into the offensive zone, but bounces off his hip and crashes into the boards. Dach seems to be alright at least. Jake Evans chips the puck past Jalen Chatfield and tries to k...
The Carolina Hurricanes earned a 3-2 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday in hostile territory.
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 3-2, in overtime on Monday night at the Bell Centre. When the Canes needed them most, the top line stepped up. Andrei Svechnikov’s shot 14 minutes into overtime gave the Canes their second straight 3-2 overtime win and a 2-1 series lead. Only two wins separate the Canes […]
Tatsuya Imai (W, 2-2) hurled 6 innings of no-hit ball, Yordan Alvarez and Christian Walker homered and the Houston Astros (24-31) pummeled the Texas Rangers (24-29) 9-0 in the first game of their four-game series at Globe Life Park in Arlington. It’s a huge mark for Imai, who was making his 6th start of the […]
The Texas Rangers had zero hits but the Houston Astros scored nine runs. I think in some regards it is at least interesting that we are getting to experience the worst lineup that perhaps the Rangers have ever fielded in franchise history. It certainly isn’t pleasant but at least it’s historic. All you really need […]
The Texas Rangers did not have a hit on Monday night.
The penultimate day of the World Championship preliminary phase has wrapped up, setting up a handful of exciting games on Tuesday. There were just two Edmonton Oilers in action on Monday, as Isaac Howard’s USA took on Hungary, while Josh Samanski’s Germany faced Great Britain. All five Oilers have a chance to make the playoff…
It would have been the cherry on top of the sundae, and the Ducks came oh so close, but in the end, it wasn’t to be. Oregon had No. 1 UCLA on the ropes in the Big Ten Tournament Final, but couldn’t quite get over the hump and fell 3-2 in 11 innings. Oregon starter […]
