Drake Batherson filled the statsheet for the Senators in their 5-4 win over Tampa Bay: two goals (one on the power play), one assist, seven shots, and two hits. It’s been feast or famine for Batherson this season, as this is his second three-point game. He hasn’t registered a point in his other three games. [...]

Missing a 100-assist playmaker like Nikita Kucherov might have something to do with it, but Stamkos is at least shooting the puck.

Brief observations: The Edmonton Oilers are all over both our player and team picks for the second consecutive season. From a player standpoint, Connor McDavid is the favorite for both [...]
Hopefully you were able to watch hockey while eating your breakfast or brunch on Saturday. If so, you would have seen the Devils complete the sweep of the Sabres in the two-game Global Series in Prague to start the regular season. In New Jersey’s 3-1 win, Seamus Casey scored his first NHL goal and was [...]
The puck officially dropped on the NHL regular season on Friday with New Jersey defeating Buffalo by a score of 4-1 in Prague.
