The injuries have piled up for New Jersey and despite getting back Timo Meier recently, and Ondrej Palat last night, they remain without Jack Hughes, Dougie Hamilton, Jonas Siegenthaler, and now Michael McLeod. All the injuries have forced a lot of line shuffling and their game last night saw Dawson Mercer start as the second-line [...]

By |2024-01-25T06:26:14-05:00January 25th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Injuries up front have been a problem for Buffalo all season long. It started with Jack Quinn’s Achilles issue, then Dylan Cozens’s facial injury, then Alex Tuch missed time, and so on.

One of the more surprising trades in recent NHL memory went down on Monday night during Philadelphia’s home game with Pittsburgh. The Flyers traded prospect Cutter Gauthier to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for defenceman Jamie Drysdale and a second-round pick. Frank Seravalli would report minutes later that Gauthier had told the team he wouldn’t [...]
