Hockey Rambling

Colorado got a key piece to their lineup back, though it’s not Gabriel Landeskog or Valeri Nichushkin (yet). Logan O’Connor returned to the lineup for Colorado on Thursday night, having missed four games. O’Connor went into that game third on the team in 5-on-5 goals with nine, and he has the lowest on-ice goals against [...]

There was good news out of Toronto as goalie Joseph Woll was sent to the AHL for a conditioning stint, the next step on his way back from an ankle injury that has kept him out of the lineup for two and a half months. How many games he ultimately plays down there remains to [...]

Nico Daws got another start, and in a game that could have affording him much more leash through to the trade deadline, but instead Alex Ovechkin (two goals, one assist, two hits, and four shots) and the Capitals turned back the clock to the early 2010s and put up a six-spot on him. If that [...]

Miro Heiskanen was out of the Dallas lineup on Monday afternoon as he was away from the team for the birth of his child. With Jani Hakanpää and Nils Lundkvist already out, the Stars dressed Joel Hanley and called up some AHL depth to fill out the blue line. It is always interesting to see [...]

Happy Family Day to (most of) our Canadian readers, Happy Presidents’ Day to our American readers, and Happy Monday to everyone else. With Monday being a holiday in much of the NHL’s territory, puck drop starts at 12:30 PM EST, so make sure to set your lineups early! Since there were only three games on [...]

Skating out of the penalty box, Brandt Clarke scored the overtime winner (his first NHL goal) for the Kings over Boston. Clarke now has points in back-to-back games as well as seven shots over that span. Clarke and Jordan Spence have basically been alternating out of the lineup, but it seems like Clarke has earned [...]

This happened during one of the later games on Thursday, so I didn’t get a chance to write about it yesterday. Filip Zadina scored two goals and added two assists and a plus-3 in the Sharks’ 6-3 win against Calgary. Even though Zadina was once a high first-round pick (chosen one pick before Quinn Hughes!) [...]

Jake Guentzel is expected to miss up to the next four weeks with an upper-body injury that forced him to leave Wednesday’s game. On the final year of his contract, Guentzel has been the subject of trade rumors, particularly if the Penguins cannot find a way to advance above the Eastern Conference playoff bar soon. [...]

There has been no shortage of interesting storylines around the Philadelphia Flyers over the last couple of seasons, but one of them is certainly the career renaissance of Rasmus Ristolainen. He had played very well defensively over the last couple of seasons for the Flyers and that has pushed his name into trade rumours. He [...]

New York and Pennsylvania were hit with one of their biggest snow storms in the last number of years yesterday, and foremost we do just want everyone to be safe. On a fantasy hockey note though, it does mean we could see a couple of delays and/or postponements of games due to travel issues, so [...]
