The Vancouver Canucks have acquired forward Vitali Kravtsov from the New York Rangers for forward Will Lockwood and a 2026 seventh-round pick.

Whether it’s because of lack of opportunity or unhappiness about his situation with the Rangers, [...]
The St. Louis Blues have claimed right wing Kasperi Kapanen off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kapanen has been scoring below a 0.5 PT/GP pace both this season and last. However, he finished with 30 points in 40 games during the shortened 2020-21 season, so he still provides some scoring upside. Kapanen and his $3.2 [...]

This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to take a quick detour from our recent focus on skaters and point production. Today we are looking at on goalies. In most standard leagues we use bunch of goalie stats that goalies don”t necessarily have a lot of control over. Much of the value comes [...]
It was almost a shock at how fast things moved. As of Thursday afternoon, the Washington Capitals were on a slide with two wins in their previous seven games, but Alex Ovechkin was returning and they were just two points out of a playoff position. Then just after 5 PM ET, Pierre LeBrun tweeted that [...]
