Jesse Puljujarvi is heading back to Finland for next year. He has signed a one-year deal with Karpat of the Finnish Elite League.

Welcome back to your monthly installment of Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, which, for new readers, is a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story.

There were some surprises, some stellar performances and some lineup decisions that either paid off or didn’t. Arizona Coyotes Taylor Hall, Phil Kessel, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Christian Dvorak and Clayton Keller all [...]
The NHL is back, and so are Elan and Brian for a brand new episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast. On this episode, we reveal our playoffs watch lists: we tell you who we're keeping closest tabs on with the NHL back in action, and what we want to learn about them in [...]
