In today’s Ramblings, we’ll look at two teams that struggled on the power play this past regular season after excelling with the [...]
Edmonton 6, Dallas 1 (Oilers lead 2-1) Somebody call the press. Stuart Skinner has posted his first non-shutout win of the postseason. It only took eight games… In all seriousness, Skinner is on a level that seemed out of his scope when the playoffs started. He’s allowed just six goals in his past five starts. [...]
Florida 6, Toronto 1, (Panthers win series 4-3) The Panthers punched their ticket to Round 3 with a dominant 6-1 victory over the Leafs on Sunday night. Although Toronto showed resilience on a small scale as they survived an early barrage from Florida and put together a solid first period, the Leafs weren’t able to [...]
Dallas 5, Winnipeg 2 (Stars lead series 2-1) Another heroic performance from Mikko Rantanen spurred the Stars to a Game 3 victory on Sunday. With three points, Rantanen took back top spot in the league’s postseason scoring race, leapfrogging Connor McDavid. It’s hard to articulate the outlandish run Rantanen is on right now. He has [...]
1.6 seconds (later changed to 2.2). That’s all that stood between the Jets and heartbreak at home in Game 7. Fortunately, Winnipeg is one of Canada’s coldest cities, so a few Jets had ice in their veins on Sunday night. Captain Adam Lowry lifted his team to Round 2 with the game-winning goal in double [...]
Tampa Bay 5, Florida 1 (Panthers lead series 2-1) After managing just two goals at home through Games 1 & 2, Tampa’s offense finally clicked on the road as they put up four against Sergei Bobrovsky and added an empty netter for good measure. It was a big win for Tampa, missing one of their [...]
Carolina 4, New Jersey 1 (Hurricanes lead series 1-0) GM Eric Tulsky looked like a genius on Sunday as two of his midseason acquisitions – Logan Stankoven and Taylor Hall – were integral in Carolina’s Game 1 victory over the Devils. Stankoven scored two goals, while Hall added two assists. The two connected for a [...]
Thomas Chabot is on some kind of heater right now. A goal and two assists on Sunday give him a five-game point streak, featuring a total of nine points. This late-season surge is helping him get back to the 45–50-point pace he’s lived at for most of his career. That feat would be especially impressive [...]
After weeks of an exhilarating record chase, the inevitable happened: the Great Eight passed the Great One. Alex Ovechkin scored his 42nd goal of the campaign and the 895th goal of his career, taking sole possession of the NHL’s all-time goal-scoring record. You’ve probably consumed tons of content contextualizing this historic feat by now, so [...]
Canadiens’ Captain Nick Suzuki led the team to an impressive 4-2 victory over Florida with a goal and two assists. He has 25 points in 17 games since the 4-Nations Face-Off, elevating his game at the most crucial stretch of the Habs’ playoff push. Patrik Laine opened the scoring for Montreal with his 15th power-play [...]
