Anyone else starting to get a bit concerned with Shayne Gostisbehere’s ice time? Going into Friday night, he had played just 19:17 per game over the last month, and under 17 minutes in three of his last four games. That’s against 21:43 over the first six weeks or so of the season. That is a [...]
One day after a 48-save shutout from Carter Hutton was needed for St. Louis to defeat Winnipeg, it was much the same kind of domination by the Jets on Sunday. They jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first period thanks to Adam Lowry and shots on goal were 21-10 for Winnipeg halfway through [...]
The big news from Sunday night was that Auston Matthews would miss Toronto’s home game against Edmonton with an “upper-body injury.” He took some friendly fire on Saturday night, colliding hard with Morgan Rielly, leading to some speculation that was when the injury occurred. What the injury actually is I doubt will be revealed by [...]
It was the Artemi Panarin show in Newark on Friday night. After his team fell behind 2-0 on goals from Marcus Johansson and Brian Boyle, Panarin had three primary assists on three second-period goals for Columbus. The prettiest of the three was probably on Scott Harrington’s goal where Panarin finds him as the trailer through [...]
It was another round of rather mostly dull Sunday night games so let’s hop to it. Kyle Connor missed Winnipeg’s game last night against Ottawa and is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Mathieu Perreault took his spot on the top line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. There’s no indication as to the severity of [...]
Columbus beat Anaheim 4-2 on Friday night in big thanks to the line of Pierre-Luc Dubois, Artemi Panarin, and Josh Anderson. The three of them were involved in the team’s first three goals, with Panarin and Anderson managing one each. They dominated possession – each forward was above 65 percent – continuing their solid play. [...]
Three afternoon games (depending on where you’re located) including a tantalizing matchup to start the day between Nashville and Carolina. Juuse Saros was in the cage for the Predators, making his fifth start of the year. With Nashville down 1-0, Viktor Arvidsson did what Viktor Arvidsson does best: score goals, and often in spectacular fashion: [...]
The biggest news from Friday was that Carey Price would indeed return to action for the Habs on Saturday for a home game against Buffalo. If there was ever a game that would help ease him back into action, it’s a home game against a bad team playing the second of a back-to-back on the [...]
We had five games in the NHL on Sunday night so let’s get right into the games. Carolina’s top line continued it’s tear by helping down the New York Islanders 4-2. That makes three straight wins, including a back-to-back this weekend, and a 5-2-2 record overall for the Hurricanes in November. Teuvo Teravainen had two [...]
We had ourselves a good old-fashioned goaltending battle in Columbus on Friday night as Henrik Lundqvist and Sergei Bobrovsky combined to stop 76 of 78 shots they faced, but it was Constable Bobrovsky who managed a shutout en route to a 2-0 win. This pushes Bobrovsky up a .933 save percentage on the year thanks [...]
