Ottawa Senators & Tampa Bay Lightning Complete Trade
The Ottawa Senators have added some goaltending depth, as the team announced on Friday, they've acquired goaltender Jonas Johansson from the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Senators are sending back future considerations in the deal.

Steven Lorentz clears waivers, preserving more options for the Maple Leafs
Steven Lorentz clearing waivers is a small win on an off-day for the Maple Leafs.

Toronto Maple Leafs Finalize Roster Before Season Opener with Injuries
The Leafs made all their cuts prior to their trip to Arizona to pick up Matthews wardrobe and bring it back to Toronto for the season. That’s 84 games worth of designer leisure wear he has to have to hand, after all. There is some serious business left however. There are four injuries at this point: Max Domi who will start the season on LTIR, Nick Paul who has an undisclosed injury and may not play in the season opener, Dakota Joshua who has some kind of core injury and whose status is a littl...

Will a Jacob Markstrom-Akira Schmid tandem be good enough to lead Panthers’ resurgence?
Goaltending is the most difficult variable to predict, and it’s also the element that can often decide playoff series. We’re intimately aware of this dynamic, and Sergei Bobrovsky’s three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs also comes with the inherent promise of steady goalkeeping during the playoffs. Bobrovsky is one of the best postseason performers…

Which NHL rookies have stood out the most during 2026-27 preseason?
Fans grew to really hate the longer preseason that we got accustomed to for many years. Finally, the NHL answered, with most teams playing just four exhibition games this year. Some teams are already done, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, in particular, doing a pair of split-squad games to complete their run. It’s been well-received by fans, but it gives prospects a smaller opportunity to prove themselves in NHL uniforms. We’ve seen guys sneak into NHL starting-night roles because they went on ab...

Friday FTB: Weekend reading
Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans! One more weekend before the new hockey season begins, and while it may be tempting to sit and watch pre-season game highlights to avoid the cold that southern Ontario will sit in, I say we exercise those brain wrinkles by avoiding the screens and picking up a book. Or use your device to listen to an audiobook. I have a few hockey books I’ve enjoyed so here’s what I can go through on a nice day. Between the Lines – Ray Scapinello I’m not looking for to sta...
Maple Leafs Playoff Odds: Bobrovsky’s Rebound Test
