If you like fast games, the start of this one was… not that. It took more than six minutes for either team to register a shot on net. The Blackhawks got the game’s first power play and, while it didn’t convert, the Hawks got some momentum and took the early lead. But the Penguins got away with a blatant trip and tied the game two minutes later. The teams took a 1-1 score — and a healthy number of penalty minutes — to the room after 20 minutes. The Blackhawks spent most of the second perio...

Connor Bedard and Sidney Crosby. That should get you to tune in for this one. But the Blackhawks have been playing well lately, even if the wins aren’t coming as frequently as we would like. With the moms on the trip, the Blackhawks had really good energy in Minnesota. Everyone had a day off on Wednesday, so the players should have fresh legs again tonight. Based on the lines at the Blackhawks’ morning skate, it looks like Colton Dach will slide into the lineup in place of Landon Slaggert...

When the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired forward Egor Chinakhov from the Columbus Blue Jackets a little more than a month ago, it seemed like a worthwhile bet.

The Edmonton Oilers have completely changed up their goaltending from the start of the season and from what they had on their back-to-back Stanley Cup Final runs. Stuart Skinner was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins as part of a deal that brought Tristan Jarry to Edmonton, and after playing some pro games again, Connor Ingram was brought up and has played very well. The Oilers are going to continue running with Jarry and Ingram as they have played well and the team is hot. So where does that l...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a transition year after losing Mitch Marner and bringing in a few new players as tests to try to make up for it. The defense has been banged up, goaltending has been a rotating door due to injury as well, and more moves are going to be made for the team that is five points back of a playoff spot. While some players are playing their final season with the Maple Leafs, others will be sticking around due to their elevated play this season. Bobby McMann could very we...

The eyes of the hockey world were on Toronto this weekend. That’s not unusual, because it's the home of the league’s most important team and whenever they’re not on screen, all the other teams should be asking “Where are the Maple Leafs?” But this time, there were a few specific reasons. The first was Mitch Marner, finally returning to Toronto for the first time since his summer departure to Last Vegas. On Sunday, it was a rare afternoon game, this one featuring a visit from the league’s...
