On Monday, the Ottawa Senators relieved D.J. Smith of his head coaching duties, replacing him with Jacques Martin on an interim basis. The team also announced franchise legend Daniel Alfredsson as a new assistant coach. Smith took over as head coach in Ottawa back in May of 2019. Since then, the club ranks 24th [...]
Sunday marked the first time this season that Chicago scored multiple power-play goals in a game. With Seth Jones injured and Kevin Korchinski dealing with the loss of his father, the Blackhawks played this game without their best offensive defensemen. As a result, the team opted for a five-forward setup on the power play, featuring [...]
One of my favourites from Dobber’s Frozen Tools is the Schedule Planner, which shows you which teams are playing during any given timeframe.

John Hynes remains undefeated as head coach of the Wild, with Sunday’s 4-1 win over Chicago marking his third-straight victory. The sample size is miniscule, but Minnesota hasn’t allowed more than one goal in a game since Hynes took over. That shouldn’t come as a huge surprise considering the team was playing solid defense even [...]
On Monday, the Minnesota Wild relieved head coach Dean Evason and assistant coach Bob Woods of their duties, introducing John Hynes as the team’s new head coach. Evason took over as bench boss in February of 2020, guiding the club to an impressive 147-77-27 record since then. Despite his overall success, he ends up being [...]
Shea Theodore was recently placed on Injured Reserve, a move which requires him to miss at least a week of action. Given that he last played on November 22nd, Theodore won’t be eligible to face the Flames on Monday or the Oilers on Tuesday. The earliest he can return is Thursday against the Canucks. However, [...]
Aleksander Barkov wasn’t on the ice for Sunday’s practice and won’t play against the Oilers on Monday. Florida’s captain suffered a soft tissue injury after taking a knee-on-knee hit during Friday’s clash with the Ducks. Coach Paul Maurice seemed optimistic when speaking about the injury, suggesting the outcome was better than they originally thought. https://twitter.com/JamesonCoop/status/1726290056598691849 [...]
On Friday, William Nylander put on a show for friends, family and fans on home soil, tallying three points in game two of the NHL’s Global Series in Sweden. Although he was born in Canada, Nylander’s roots are in Sweden. He’s a citizen of both countries but represents Sweden on the world stage. Fuelled by [...]
Hello and welcome to my first Ramblings as an Associate Editor for DobberHockey. I wish it was under different circumstances, but as most of you know, Dobber is taking some time away from the website as he prepares to kick cancer’s ass for a second time. Aside from sending love and strength to one of [...]
Here's the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you're looking for information about a certain player and don't see their name in this article, there probably haven't been any significant updates about their progress since our last article.
