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 [...]
It didn’t take long for the Leafs to start laying the wood to Detroit. Nazem Kadri went short-side on Jimmy Howard less than six minutes into the game, and Zach Hyman had a puck deflect in off of him less than a minute later. Henrik Zetterberg would reply, but goals from Connor Brown and Auston [...]
There was just one game Monday night with Tampa Bay heading to Detroit. That means there isn’t a lot of scores or performances to review. Instead, some lineup information that came up throughout Monday seems a worthwhile place to start. * HE’S BACK. Erik Karlsson is expected to suit up for the Senators in their [...]
There were just three games in the NHL on Sunday night and most of the important news surrounded the expansion Vegas Golden Knights. Not only did they finally add Vadim Shipachyov to the roster, but 23-year old Malcolm Subban, claimed off waivers at the start of the season from Boston, made his third career start [...]
It was a wild Friday the 13th in the NHL on Friday night. Even with just five games on the slate, but there were injuries across the league. Minnesota was dealt three separate issue with three different forwards, two guys out of their top-six, specifically. There is obviously a lot of time left in the [...]
Going into Wednesday night, we were officially a week into the NHL season. Still far too early for any determinations! Let’s keep that in mind – I know Vegas is a nice early story, Chicago is an offensive juggernaut, and Los Angeles looks impossible to score on, but Colorado started 3-1-0 last year and ended [...]
The expansion Vegas team had a pretty good start to their season with back-to-back wins on the road. There’s a bit of a pall hanging over the team though, as Vadim Shipachyov and Shea Theodore still aren’t on the roster. Vegas has their reasons for doing so, namely having nine defencemen. This piece from Nick [...]
We’ve seen almost every team play at this point save for New Jersey, Carolina, and Vancouver. At this risk of overreaction, here are some things that stood out to me. Penalties There have been 18 teams to play one game and go to the penalty kill at least four times. Half the league has [...]
We had real, meaningful hockey last night! Here are a few things I noticed watching the games that are relevant to your fantasy teams. This is your friendly reminder (I forgot myself until the game last night) that Paul Maurice likes to use Adam Lowry on Winnipeg’s top power-play unit (the one with Mark [...]
