Unless they win, of course. The Ottawa Senators are in Trois-Rivières, Québec, this year’s Kraft Hockeyville, for their first preseason game against the Montreal Canadiens, who have already swept a split-squad series against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

There were a few key changes during Monday morning’s training camp session, as Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly was paired with Darren Raddysh at practice.

While there's been a ton of speculation about goaltender Connor Hellebuyck's future recently, it turns out early reports of him wanting out of Canada may not be 100% true. According to Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons, Hellebuyck is open to playing for the Montreal Canadiens. Hellebuyck is very close friends with Chris Kreider, who just signed a one-year deal in Montreal, and also knows Cole Caufield extremely well, and these friendships are something the gold medal winner could lean on. However, t...

Dylan Larkin is still a Detroit Red Wing. He hasn't been on the ice at training camp this week as he's nursing an 'injury' suffered recently during private workouts (at least that's the party line). But his trade request is still seemingly in place. Larkin will no longer be wearing the 'C', as he's had the captaincy stripped , understandably, after he made it clear he didn't want to be in Detroit any longer. Larkin held court with the media this past week , and played his cards clo...

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews won’t be losing sleep over his team’s 4-1 preseason loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Toronto certainly generated several chances, and were unlucky that only Darren Raddysh got on the board, but there were also just as many rusty moments. Matthews felt there was plenty they can therefore…

MONTREAL— It was a smooth redirect from Ivan Demidov. This one delivered in the room after he spent his night dekeing and deceiving every Toronto Maple Leaf in his path in a 4-3 overtime win for his Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre. It’s pre-season, but Demidov, who scored a goal on Saturday, is already in mid-season form both on and off the ice. We asked him if anything he worked on during the off-season translated immediately for him through this first game back. “You tell me,” the 20-year-...

Kaapo Kahkonen made 11 saves in relief after coming on in the second period. No. 1 overall pick ...
