In some injury news from the Edmonton Oilers, defenceman Darnell Nurse was out of the lineup for Thursday night’s road game in Florida. The team said it would just be a day-to-day thing, so it doesn’t seem as if an extended absence is in the cards, but teams are so cagey about injuries nowadays that [...]

Zegras doesn’t have any real history behind him but still earned a three-game suspension. That will keep him out for the rest of the week and be eligible to [...]
Shooting percentage (S%) is a key stat when evaluating a player’s scoring efficiency. Most forwards land in the 9-12% range. For elite goal scorers? They’re a different breed.
