The Colorado Avalanche had extended winger Martin Necas for eight years with an average annual value of $11.5-million, according to Elliotte Friedman. Necas was set to hit free agency this coming offseason but is another big name off the board along with the likes of Jack Eichel and Kirill Kaprizov. This will make him a [...]

The Utah Mammoth have extended centre Logan Cooley for eight years, the team announced. The value is $10-million per season and will start in the 2026-27 campaign after Cooley finishes his entry-level deal.

The Washington Capitals got some good news as centre Pierre-Luc Dubois was at practice in a normal jersey, according to Bailey Johnson. He had missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but may be ready to go Friday night when the Caps visit the Columbus Blue Jackets. * In the wake of a [...]

Brady Martin has been re-assigned to the OHL, according to Alex Daugherty. He only got a few games in for Nashville and had been a healthy scratch recently, so this makes sense. He gets a chance to really hone his game playing junior and then either get back in the lineup for a couple games [...]

Ramblings: Stone, McCann, Rossi, and Marchessault Injury Updates; Florida’s New Power Play; Foerster and Tippett Tally Twice – October 21

By |2025-10-21T06:10:54-04:00October 21st, 2025|Hockey Rambling|

Marco Rossi was out for the Minnesota Wild on Monday night as the team was in Philadelphia. It doesn’t seem too serious but something to monitor. The Wild have one game left on their road trip – Wednesday in New Jersey – before they head home for a back-to-back on the weekend. Minnesota would go [...]

Ramblings: Brady Tkachuk Surgery; Caufield, Matthews Play Overtime Heroes; Horvat Hat Trick; Pinto Scores Again – October 17

By |2025-10-17T06:18:52-04:00October 17th, 2025|Hockey Rambling|

Brady Tkachuk will be out six to eight weeks due to surgery on his thumb, according to Bruce Garrioch. If that timeline holds, it looks like he’ll be out until December. Including Wednesday and Thursday night’s games, if Tkachuk returns on December 2nd, that would mean 22 games missed, or a quarter of the season. [...]

The Detroit Red Wings announced that winger Lucas Raymond was day-to-day after leaving their game against Toronto on Monday with an injury. He did not play on Wednesday night, though it seems as if this will be a short-term thing. Even without Raymond in the lineup, Detroit was able to post its third win in [...]

Ramblings: Kochetkov Injured but K’Andre Miller Shines; Elias Lindholm and Evgeni Malkin Stay Hot; Ottawa Stages Comeback Thanks to Pinto – October 10

The Philadelphia Flyers have had concerns about their goaltending situation for several years now, which is why it was interesting that Dan Vladar got the call for the season opener on Thursday night, and not Samuel Ersson. I was watching other games, but it seems as if Vladar was solid in net for the Flyers, [...]

During their season opener on Wednesday night, the Edmonton Oilers added to their depth by signing free agent forward Jack Roslovic to a one-year contract with an average annual value of $1.5-million. Roslovic had 22 goals and 39 points last season with the Carolina Hurricanes. He now heads to Edmonton and has a chance to [...]
