There’s a delay to allow people to get to the rink. Jacob Fowler’s NHL debut will wait another 30 minutes. First period Owen Beck puts enough pressure on Kris Letang at the end of a long shift for the veteran defenceman to create a turnover. Alexandre Texier collects the puck and fires it off the far-side elbow of the net and in to open the scoring. Beck won’t get a point on the play, but it doesn’t happen without him. Sidney Crosby tries to tip the puck in in f...

The San Jose Sharks’ next stop is Toronto where the team takes on the Maple Leafs for stop number four on the road trip. The Leafs have seemingly found a bit better footing in the last few weeks after a tough start to the season and have now worked their way into the playoff picture. That said, Toronto (14-11-4) has a pretty big hole to dig itself out of, and currently sits 7th in the wild card race, though just three points back of Philadelphia which holds the second wild card spot as of toda...

We heard before the season that Ryan Reaves wasn't happy with how things ended for him with the Toronto Maple Leafs . Now that he's in town with the San Jose Sharks for his first game back at Scotiabank Arena against his old squad, he's taking no prisoners—on the ice or off it.

The NHL's holiday roster freeze is just over a week away, and while many thought there'd be a slew of trades going down in December, that hasn't been the case at all.

The Leafs recalled defenceman Henry Thrun from the AHL's Toronto Marlies, and he's expected to see his first action in blue and white on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have gone five games without a regulation loss, and seem to have righted the ship for now, especially on the defensive end. They've allowed just five regulation goals in those five games, and haven't missed a beat with sensational breakout youngster Dennis Hildeby in net. All that said, this doesn't mean that the Leafs aren't missing Chris Tanev. The shot-blocking defensive rock hasn't played in well over a month, and his return is still undetermined. In fact, we'...
