When Connor McDavid left Edmonton’s game on Monday night after jamming his foot into the boards, it was easy to fear the worst. We saw a similar player with Drew Doughty in the preseason, and that resulted in a broken ankle that will keep him out for months. Fortunately for Edmonton fans and fantasy hockey [...]
Connor McDavid got tripped early in Edmonton’s game in Columbus on Monday night. It was probably a penalty, but it wasn’t called, and things got even worse for the Oilers from there. He was seen gingerly making his way to the bench, and then he left for the dressing room. After several minutes, we got [...]
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 [...]
