Tristan Jarry and Spencer Stastney will make their Edmonton Oilers debut tonight in Toronto and there’s a small belief that sometimes all it takes is a fresh start. Whether that belief is justified remains to be seen. Jarry is 9-3-1 in 14 games this season with a 2.66 GAA and .909 save percentage. Those are…

The State of Hockey wakes up on Saturday to the rumbling aftershocks of the Quinn Hughes trade. And in taking the temperature based on comments on Hockey Wilderness, elsewhere on the internet, and personal text messages, it seems one of those shocks is of the sticker variety.

The Toronto Maple Leafs just got another frustrating update on Brandon Carlo. After missing time since mid November, Carlo underwent foot surgery on December 3 and is expected to be out at least another month, according to head coach Craig Berube. That pushes his total absence closer to eight weeks, and it keeps Toronto in survival mode on the right side of the blue line.

As is always the case when a team comes to Toronto, there were storylines to follow before the puck was even dropped. Sam Dickinson, who grew up a Montreal Canadiens fan in Toronto, had approximately half the population of the city in attendance.

A Swedish report has claimed that veteran forward Calle Järnkrok had verbally agreed to return to Brynäs IF next season, a move that would almost certainly end his NHL career. The news, first reported by Aftonbladet’s Hans Abrahamsson and echoed by Swedish outlet Expressen , suggested Järnkrok was preparing a homecoming once his contract expires after the 2025-26 season.

Also, a very NHL-esque Olympic hockey tournament is in the offing.
Similar to the shootout losses against the Sharks last season, the Maple Leafs let a very winnable game slip away in this 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose. In a battle between two of the worst possession teams in the league based on the publicly available metrics, the Leafs flipped the script they’ve followed to […]

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 14-11-5. On a 2-0 lead getting away from the team: In the third period, we didn’t come out and dictate how to play the game. We turned pucks over. We were passive. […]

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.

“Again, not the start we wanted. I give the guys a lot of credit. I’m not going to think too much into it. I thought the effort was there; it’s just the execution wasn’t. Just a great gutsy win by our guys. Wins like this can continue to propel our team to climb the standings […]

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. "They basically said that I couldn't play in this league anymore, and I'm back."

As we get closer to the Christmas roster freeze time on the hockey calendar the trade market hasn't quite ramped up to a frenzy yet (unless you're in Vancouver and your name is Quinn Hughes). But there's plenty of noise out there about a number of trade candidates, and insider 'Trade Boards' will start to appear with more regularity in the weeks ahead. In the first ESPN Trade Board, from insider Greg Wyshynski , there are four players listed in the 'Shocking Possibilities' Tier: Jo...
