Konsta Helenius made his NHL playoff debut for the Sabres, while Luke Schenn entered the lineup, and the goalie cycle moved back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. Helenius played third-line minutes, won two-thirds of his draws, and provided a bit of a spark to the lineup too. The top players provided some mixed results, with a few [...]
A last minute switch has me covering the Ramblings today, so I went to X and BlueSky for your fantasy hockey questions. https://twitter.com/GLaSnoST9/status/2053640766975574475 The Oilers have two more years to win a Cup or they lose McDavid, and frankly I think if they don’t win one next year they’ll lose him – they’ll trade him, [...]
Only one of the two undefeated playoff teams entering Saturday’s games is still undefeated. The still undefeated team is off to the next round, while the no longer undefeated team appears to be facing its first true test of the playoffs. Carolina 3, Philadelphia 2, OT (Hurricanes win series 4-0) The Carolina Hurricanes are still [...]
This season’s playoffs have seen many close games. Friday’s two contests were not among those close games. Montreal 5, Buffalo 1 (series tied 1-1) Alex Newhook led the Canadiens with two goals in Game 2. Add in the Game 7 winner from the Tampa series and Newhook has three goals over his past three games. [...]
Only one game last night, seeing game two played between the Wild and the Avs. The Minnesota Wild turned to Filip Gustavsson after Jesper Wallstedt allowed eight goals on 42 shots in the opener. Gustavsson hasn’t played since April 13th, where he allowed five goals on 21 shots against. In fact, he ended the season [...]

Even though the first round hasn’t quite finished yet, the second round began on Saturday. The Carolina Hurricanes, who had a one-week break, showed no rust in picking up right where they left off. Carolina 3, Philadelphia 0 (Hurricanes lead series 1-0) Logan Stankoven is becoming a story of the 2026 playoffs. With two goals [...]
Friday marked the end of two series, with only one first-round series about to go the distance. Tampa Bay 1, Montreal 0 (series tied 3-3) The only goal in Game 6 of Montreal/Tampa Bay was the overtime winner from Gage Goncalves, which means the Habs and Bolts will meet in Game 7 in Tampa on [...]
Alex Lyon got the start again for Buffalo, and without him this year they don’t get nearly this far. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonnen has been the better goalie more often this year, but Lyon is the one in the crease with the season coming down to the wire. He is signed next year as well at a [...]
