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 [...]
Chicago snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory over Philly on Sunday. Tyler Bertuzzi led the way with a goal and two assists. He’s up to six points in his last four outings after going pointless through five games before that. Half of Bertuzzi’s points during this hot streak have come with the [...]
Lucas Raymond snapped a 10-game goal drought with a wonderful goal against Vegas, giving him six points in his last five games. The 23-year-old winger leads the team in scoring with 69 points - 10 points clear of second place Dylan Larkin. Nice. https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1901350090326810903 Against a Golden Knights team on the second half of a [...]
Sunday’s helper gives Luke Hughes seven points in his last seven outings. Hughes is seeing more power-play opportunity with Dougie Hamilton out for an ‘extended period of time’ and probably should be rostered in more than 48% of Yahoo Leagues. Ivan Fedotov hasn’t allowed more than two goals in each of his last three appearances. [...]
Seeing their Atlantic rivals get stronger and stronger, Toronto finally made their move to prepare for the postseason. The Leafs shipped a 2027 first round pick (top-10 protected) and Nikita Grebenkin to the Flyers in exchange for Scott Laughton (50% retained), a fourth round pick, and a sixth round pick. This is one of those moves [...]
Before we get into notes from Sunday’s games, a couple of important injury updates: https://twitter.com/jessi_pierce/status/1896287811713831325 It sounds like Quinn Hughes is day-to-day with a new injury – not the same one that kept him out for most of February. https://twitter.com/harmandayal2/status/1896312295283957964 ~ With a goal and assist on Sunday, Auston Matthews extended his point streak to [...]
A hat trick on Sunday gives Alex Ovechkin 29 goals through 41 appearances this season. Double those numbers and you’ll see he’d be on pace for 58 over 82 games. At the age of 39! Simply outstanding. Although he’s seeing less ice time than last year (from 19:13 to 17:37), he’s managed more shots per [...]
With no games on Sunday, I thought we could spend today’s Ramblings looking at some interesting stats so far in 2025. Here are 16 to keep in mind before the fantasy campaign resumes on Saturday! 11.92 That’s the number of goals saved above expected by Spencer Knight in 2025 (via EvolvingHockey). It also happens to [...]
An upper-body injury caused Connor Ingram to leave Sunday’s clash with the Capitals. It seems he got hurt after taking a heavy shot up high. Karel Vejmelka was excellent in relief, stopping 30 of the 32 shots he faced en route to a shootout victory. Vejmelka has solid numbers on the season but has struggled [...]
