Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen was a top trade candidate leading up to the deadline. However, the Flyers decided to hold on to him past the deadline. While this is the case, the Flyers certainly could move him during this offseason. This is especially so when noting that he is entering the final season of his contract. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Ristolainen this summer. Boston Bruins The Bruins were one of the teams that were intereste...
It’s Saturday night friends with a big divisional game on the line between the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings both fighting for postseason play and positioning. Per the Bruins, there are no lineup changes tonight. We’ll see Lukas Reichel back in the lineup for his second game in the Black and Gold after an […]

After I clocked out for the week from my full time gig, I decided to spend a bit of time looking to see what the likelihood is the Winnipeg Jets will use their final 14 remaining games to move up or down in the standings.
The recent losses to the Nashville Predators and Boston Bruins have made a playoff bid even more unlikely, yet the True Northers are still only 5 points back of the Los Angeles Kings for the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. However, with three more clubs between...
That was probably the loss that puts us out of mathematical reach, with only a 13-0 stretch POSSIBLY saving this season, and with the wildcard teams sitting at a 99 point pace (.609), that might not even get us there. 1st Period The first started a little slowly, with both teams feeling each other out, […]
With a big divisional game against Detroit looming on Saturday night, you could be forgiven for worrying that the Bruins might overlook a home game against a fading Winnipeg Jets team. However, the B’s showed up and then some, jumping out to a 4-0 second period lead before eventually gliding to a 6-1 win at […]
Recap of the game.
Welcome to another night of hockey, folks! Overall, taking four points out of six on a three-game road trip is pretty good, even if the way the B’s lost two games was a bit annoying. Points remain at a premium for both the Bruins, who currently find themselves in a playoff spot, and the Jets, […]
Too busy today to complete a full Winnipeg Jets’ preview for tonight’s game, so here is an abbreviated version…

Former Barcelona star Neymar is predicting Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will score for Hansi Flick’s side on Wednesday night in their Champions League clash with Newcastle. Yamal seems to have been taking inspiration from Neymar ahead of the game, posting a video of the Brazilian in action on Instagram, along with the message “see you […]
Last Devils Game On Monday night, the Devils defeated the Bruins by a score of 4-3 in overtime. The Bruins got on the score sheet first, less than 5 minutes into the game on a goal from David Pastrnak, and would go up 2-0 a little over 10 minutes later on a goal from our […]
It was déja vu all over again for the Bruins, as for the second night in a row, they gave away a lead and lost late in overtime. This time, it was a Cole Caufield goal with 22 seconds left in the extra session that sank the B’s, giving Montreal an important 3-2 win in […]

Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Bruins region: NESN Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+
The Montreal Canadiens are set to play the most important game of the season since Wednesday’s match versus the Ottawa Senators. The Boston Bruins are in Montreal looking to steal away the third spot in the Atlantic Division. It will be a challenge for them given that they’ve only won 12 ...
It’s a little premature to call this the biggest game of the season for the Bruins, but I can’t remember the last time a regular season Bruins-Canadiens game had this much on the line. While these teams have played some entertaining games in recent years, most of them have come when one team was down […]

It’s nights like these that make you wonder, what could have been. The New Jersey Devils certainly didn’t look like the hapless, directionless mess of a hockey team that spent the past three-plus months struggling to get out of its own way while plummeting to the darkest depths of the Eastern Conference standings. Well, maybe […]

In November of 2011, then-Bruin Milan Lucic was chasing down a loose puck in Boston. Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, identifying that he could prevent a mini-breakaway, charged out and played the puck. Lucic lost the race, but he decided to plow right through Miller in open ice anyway. Nobody on the Sabres responded, and Lucic […]

Last Devils Game On Saturday night the Devils defeated the Kings 6-4. It was the Devils first win after losing their last 2 games in a row. After Jacob Markstrom started 7 games in a row for the Devils, (why, just why Sheldon “I hope you’ll be out of a job soon” Keefe?) Jake Allen […]
The St. Louis Blues have found a great surprise in backup goaltender Joel Hofer. Selected 107th overall in 2018, Hofer has served 2nd-fiddle to Jordan Binnington in the Blues system. Binnington helped the Blues overcome the odds in a 2019 underdog story, which led to the team winning a Stanley Cup against the Boston Bruins, led by Bruce Cassidy. Players come and go, and as the Blues begin their retool, some players, including their own stars, may have to find a new home in the NHL....
