Rosters have been finalized, games have been played, and it’s the most wonderful time of the year! We had three thrillers on Tuesday so let’s dive into these teams. Chicago Blackhawks and Florida Panthers Frank Nazar scored the first goal of the season on a beautiful breakaway attempt. He picked right back up from what [...]
The 2026 free agent draft class was looking to be a monster, but Kirill Kaprizov signed his mammoth deal a week ago, Connor McDavid signed a two-year extension a few days ago, and now the Winnipeg Jets have extended Kyle Connor for eight more years at $12-million per season, as reported by Darren Dreger.
