I thought we could check in on some of the young prospects who are in the AHL and see how they are doing and what progression/regression that they might be showing. I’m not going to include players who are currently in the NHL or players over the age of 25. Abbotsford Canucks (Vancouver) Kirill Kudryavtsev [...]
Carolina, who averages the most shots for and the fewest against, experienced a rarity on Sunday as they were outshout by the Blues. Still, they pulled out a 4-1 victory over St. Louis. Pyotr Kochetkov had a strong showing, stopping 29 of the 30 shots he faced. Kochetkov has been better when busy this season. [...]

We hammered a number of favourites last week for less than juicy odds but we’re hitting winners right now and building toward another big Saturday of selections on our favourite day for hockey wagering. Connor McDavid in his backyard to take on the Maple Leafs. The red-hot Jets going toe-to-toe with the reigning Cup champs. [...]
Just a quick note about a Friday game first. The Penguins soiled the bed again, this time against the Columbus Blue Jackets team on a six-game losing streak. It’s time. It’s time for the coach to go, and either Tristan Jarry (no trade contract) or Alex Nedeljkovic to be traded or waived. Lars Eller being [...]
If you missed the night of NHL action because your eyes were glued to the circus that was Jake Paul and Mike Tyson (and the 17 undercards before that)*, let’s fill you in on a few happenings. * Full disclosure: I turned away from the Red Wings/Ducks match on Sportsnet to watch this fight, hoping [...]
