Tage Thompson racked up three points before a hit to the head made him leave the third period of Sunday’s dance with the Devils. Fortunately, it seems the Sabres dodged a bulled here. The rest of the season would be much harder to navigate without their top forward, who has 14 points in his last [...]
Kirill Kaprizov is now scheduled to miss the next four weeks after undergoing surgery for a lower-body injury. Two of those weeks are covered by the break for the Four-Nations tournament, which is good news, meaning Kaprizov may only miss about two weeks, and less than 10 games. * Your top scorer of the night [...]
There was a very interesting trade on Monday afternoon, if one nowhere near the size of the Mikko Rantanen trade from a few days ago. Injuries on the blue line have forced the New York Islanders to look outside the organization for some help, and they did that by acquiring Scott Perunovich from St. Louis [...]
Minutes away from a crucial point in a tight Eastern Wild Card Race, a cruel twist of fate led to heartbreak in New York. The Rangers failed to convert on a late-game power-play and could only watch as Cale Makar exited the box, intercepted a pass, and set Artturi Lehkonen up for the game winner [...]
While the extent of the injury to New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom hasn’t been made official yet by the team, Kevin Weekes reported that it is not as serious as it looked, but that it is putting Markstrom’s participation in the Four Nations Cup in peril. That would indicate that it will likely be [...]
The shine on Leevi Merilainen looks like it has finally worn off. He allowed two goals before being pulled in the first period. Anton Forsberg came on in relief and gave up three, including one to Matt Rempe of all people. I would expect Merilainen to be the goalie sent down once Linus Ullmark is [...]
The NHL Department Player of Safety rendered their judgments on Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Vancouver’s Tyler Myers after the incidents over the weekend at the end of the game that saw both players give cross-checks to the head of an opponent: Both players have been suspended for three games. Edmonton starts a six-game homestand on [...]
In his 39th NHL game, Zack Ostapchuk, the 39th pick of the 2021 draft, scored his first goal in the big leagues. He’s not getting enough ice time to be valuable in fantasy leagues this year but is averaging roughly two hits per game if you’re in the deepest of banger leagues. Heading into Sunday’s [...]
For the first time all season, the Canucks had a healthy core, with Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller, Brock Boeser, Quinn Hughes, Filip Hronek, and Thatcher Demko all in the lineup together. The Canucks proceeded to start Kevin Lankinen, so we still have yet to see a game with everyone. However, they came out flat, and [...]
With a win against Seattle on Sunday, Detroit’s record under Todd McLellan improves to 7-1. They’ve scored a power-play goal in all eight of those games, converting on 14 of 28 opportunities during this stretch. With a goal against the Kraken, Alex DeBrincat’s point streak grows to seven games. He has six goals and 11 [...]
