Brett Pesce and Luke Hughes both returned to the New Jersey lineup on Thursday night. Neither had played yet this season due to a leg and shoulder injury, respectively. It certainly bolsters a blue line that has had trouble staying healthy since the start of last season. * Joseph Woll was back in net for [...]
Maveric Lamoureux has been called up by Utah. The 29th overall pick from 2022 had three points in four games to start his AHL season in Tucson, but is already with the team as they look to rebound from their 4-0 loss at the hands of Ottawa. Utah is at home to Colorado on Thursday. [...]
Anthony Duclair had been off to a good start to his 2024-25 season with two goals and three points through New York’s first four games. Considering the team was shut out twice in those four games, it was a pretty good offensive performance. Unfortunately, Duclair got hurt in the third period of their fifth game [...]
This game was a wildly entertaining contest from start to finish. Buffalo held a 3-1 lead through the first half of the game and chased starting goalie Tristan Jarry from the net thanks to three goals on five shots. Peterka scored one of those three goals on a beautiful snipe on a 2-on-1 to garner [...]
There has been some early-season injury turbulence that has already hit the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. Adam Boqvist took a puck to the face and had to miss a game over the weekend, Aleksander Barkov injured his ankle and looks to be out a couple weeks at least, and Matthew Tkachuk missed a [...]
Following their trip to Europe, the injury news did not seem ideal for the Buffalo Sabres as both JJ Peterka and Zach Benson left games across the pond with different injuries. Both had returned to practice for the Sabres back in North America, but neither seemed probable to be in the lineup for the home [...]
There has been a lot of chatter over the last several months when it comes to goaltenders and contracts. There was Jeremy Swayman in Boston who didn’t get his extension until the weekend and thus didn’t start the season opener. There was also Ilya Sorokin and Connor Hellebuyck starting their new $8M+ AAV deals this [...]
It seems every year, there is always a rookie that surprises at training camp and manages to make his team’s roster. Last year, it was Buffalo’s Zach Benson, and this year it’s Philadelphia’s Jett Luchanko as it was announced he made the Philadelphia Flyers roster. Whether he lasts the season or is sent down after [...]
It has been a brutal preseason for goalies as Vancouver’s Thatcher Demko’s injury status is uncertain, Boston’s Jeremy Swayman still hasn’t signed a contract, and it was revealed Ilya Sorokin suffered an offseason back injury that require surgery. It isn’t outlandish to think that if all three were healthy/signed and in the lineup for Game [...]
Kaiden Guhle was back at practice for Montreal on Monday. He was in a non-contact jersey but has over a week to get up to speed so it seems he may be ready for the start of the regular season. Guhle had 22 points, 56 PIMs, and 294 hits+blocks in 70 games last season, so [...]
