Ottawa has won two games in a row and a big part of that has been the goaltending from Anton Forsberg. His four starts since (and including) his game in Sweden has produced a .936 save percentage, and those recent two wins have seen him stop 72 of 74 shots. This team still needs to [...]
After missing Saturday’s game due to illness, Mathew Barzal was back at Islanders practice on Monday, skating in his usual spot on the top line. It seems as if he should be good to go for the team’s home game Tuesday night against San Jose. Brock Nelson and Noah Dobson were both absent from practice [...]
There was lots of Buffalo Sabres news so let’s tackle that first. The Sabres have recalled Brandon Biro from the AHL in response to sending down goaltender Devon Levi. Biro has already appeared in the NHL this season and with the team’s injuries, this bouncing back and forth is likely to persist for him for [...]
The Patrick Kane saga, which has seemingly been a thing for three years now, has reached its next destination as it was reported early on Tuesday morning that he had made a decision on where he was going to play. Though rumours had included teams like Florida and Buffalo, as well as a return to [...]
Going into Monday night’s game against Buffalo, the New York Rangers had been surviving the injury to defenceman Adam Fox. They had gone 8-1-1 without him in the lineup, their lone loss coming in Dallas. He wasn’t expected to miss a significant amount of time, and they got good news about Fox at Monday’s morning [...]
Nico Hischier was once again at practice for New Jersey on Thursday. As mentioned by Amanda Stein, this makes several practices/morning skates now that Hischier has been on the ice. It certainly doesn’t seem as if there’s been any sort of setback as he returns from his ‘upper-body’ injury, though there is still no definitive [...]
First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends, family, and readers in America. We hope that everyone enjoying this holiday does so with lots of food, football, family, and friends. Secondly, this will be a brief Ramblings. I lost power where I am and it's been 12 hours and counting. This is being written in [...]
One of the players I was personally high on heading into the 2023-24 was Montreal’s Rafael Harvey-Pinard. He seemed to mesh very well with Nick Suzuki after the injury to Cole Caufield last season. That, and an ability to land a lot of hits, made me think there was some sneaky banger value here. Things [...]
It has not been the start to the season Buffalo wanted (7-8-1) and the injuries are starting to rack up. It started before the season with the Achilles injury to winger Jack Quinn and has included winger Alex Tuch for the last week (more on him in a bit). The latest was Tage Thompson, who [...]
All told, it wasn’t a bad start to Jonas Johansson’s Tampa Bay tenure with a .925 save percentage (including two shutouts) in his first seven games. That has gone very south very quickly, though, as he’s posted an .861 save percentage in his last five outings, allowing at least four goals in all of them. [...]
