Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** Inspired by Thomas Harley’s incredible break out campaign in 2023-24—more on that in a moment—this will be the first in a series highlighting young players (under 24) around the league [...]
Two games of playoff pucks on Friday. Let’s get to it. Panthers 6, Bruins 2 (Panthers lead series 2-1) After a fight-filled Game 2, the two teams were on much better behavior in Game 3, combining for just 16 penalty minutes.
