It was locker clean out day for the New York Rangers and we got some news on what was ailing winger Chris Kreider all season. There had been talk that there was some back issue(s) that had been bothering him towards the middle of the season, but it was more than that as we got [...]
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that defenceman Kris Letang will undergo surgery to fix a hole in his heart which will carry a recovery timeline of at least a month. Given his history with this issue, it is always a bit nerve-wracking to see he’s still dealing with it, but that he’s getting it fixed is [...]
Monday night was the highly anticipated debut of Montreal Canadiens prospect Ivan Demidov. It was not certain he’d make his way to the Canadiens following his KHL season but the contract situation was figured out and he was in the lineup as Montreal hosted the Chicago Blackhawks. Demidov started the game on a line with [...]

Kapanen started the season with the Habs but was sent back to the Swedish Hockey League after a dozen games. He posted 35 [...]
Ahead of their game on Monday night in Philadelphia, the Nashville Predators announced forwards Jonathan Marchessault and Colton Sissons are day-to-day and week-to-week, respectively, according to the team. While it certainly looks as if Marchessault shouldn’t be out too long, we are at the point of the season where a ‘week-to-week’ designation could mean the [...]

Whether he was fired or whether he stepped down, sources vary, but the end result is the same in that his tenure with Philadelphia has come to an end. I wrote a bit about the change behind the bench yesterday. [...]
