Sometimes, low-scoring games can be a lot of fun to watch, even in the regular season. Despite some expectation of goals in the Edmonton-Washington game Sunday night, it was more of a defensive battle. It was also not a fun low-scoring game. The first forty minutes saw very little in the way of dangerous chances. [...]
It was actually a hefty seven-game Friday slate in the NHL. It’s nice to have more than a couple games to pay attention to! The NHL sent Colorado and Ottawa for a pair of games this weekend. This is an effort by the NHL to help grow both their league and sport because, as we [...]
Edmonton was embarrassed at home losing 4-0 to Detroit on Sunday afternoon (depending on where you were watching). Petr Mrazek made just his fourth start of the year and managed a 36-save shutout. At the other end of the ice, Cam Talbot saved 31 of 35 in the loss. Before getting to the stats from [...]
Friday night was set to be Kailer Yamamoto’s ninth game with the team, which meant another game in the lineup and he has a year burned off his entry-level contract. He was a healthy scratch, though, so his status moving forward is still up in the air. There is no doubt his role has been [...]
There were just three games in the NHL on Sunday so let’s get right to it. Winnipeg absolutely laid the wood to Pittsburgh, toppling the defending Cup champs 7-1. Leading the way was Blake Wheeler, who had just one goal in his first nine games but managed a first-period hat trick yesterday, and added an [...]
Maybe Vegas is never going to lose again? A 7-0 throttling of the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night (afternoon?) pushed the Golden Knights to an 8-1-0 record, tying them for the second-most wins in the league and moving them into third in goal differential. It was a relatively even first period between the Avalanche and [...]
Buffalo was in Columbus Wednesday a night after their 1-0 win against Detroit. Things didn’t go as well. Columbus as the Blue Jackets skated away with a 5-1 win. The big night offensively went to Seth Jones, who managed a goal, an assist, and three shots on target. Jones now has seven points in nine [...]
It was a light two-game schedule in the NHL Monday night so let’s get right into things. The Leafs beat the visiting Kings 3-2 thanks to the help of a third-period goal from Patrick Marleau. This was a pretty entertaining game of two teams that seemed evenly matched. With the Leafs up 1-0 late in [...]
The only game in the NHL on Sunday was Vancouver heading into Detroit and handing the Red Wings a 4-1 loss. Derek Dorsett scored his fifth of the year (!) near the mid-point of the second period and that held up as the game-winner. Jakob Markstrom saved 20 of 21 for the win. Anthony Mantha [...]
Jacob Markstrom made 20 saves in the 4-2 Canucks win in Buffalo a night after the team was shelled by Boston. Derek Dorsett had two goals and an assist. Markus Granlund had a one-and-one night. Vancouver had 40 shots on goal. There’s a lot more to this game than the score, though. Something to keep [...]
