The Florida Panthers exploded for five first period goals and cruised to 6-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators at Amerant Bank Arena.
Florida opened the scroring just eight seconds in, which is a new franchise record. After Tomas Nosek won to opening draw back to Seth Jones, the defenseman sent the puck languidly into the Ottawa zone off a Senator. A whiff by Linus Ullmark allowed the puck to drift into the slot, where a lucky Noah Gregor fired it off Ullmark’s arm and into the back of the...

Last chance to win in Florida this season
Goaltender Nico Daws became the Utica Comets all-time wins leader this past week.

The Florida Panthers (35-35-3) will try to climb back above NHL .500 when they host the Ottawa Senators (38-25-10) tonight at Amerant Bank Arena in suburban Sunrise
Florida played a pretty good road game, but could only get one fluky goal past Igor Shesterkin in Sunday’s 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Jesper Boqvist and rookie Mike Benning assisted on the goal, which came off the stick of struggling Mackie Samoskevich with 41 seconds remaining in the tilt. Serg...
Heading into their Saturday afternoon contest with the Ottawa Senators, the Tampa Bay Lightning knew they needed to start fast and break the string of early multi-goal deficits they’ve faced over the last few games. Just because they knew what they needed to do didn’t mean they actually did it. On the very first shift of the game they conceded a goal. Four minutes later they gave up another one.
As they have every other time, they came back to tie the game up. Unlike against Seattle and C...
The stock image that keeps on giving.
Recap of the game.
A look back at a remarkable timeline of events since the changing of the guard.
The Penguins got a bit of a boost Thursday night when it comes to their chances of making the NHL’s postseason for the first time since 2022.

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins traveled up to Canada’s capital city on Thursday night to fight the Senators, another team jockeying for position in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Pregame The Penguins had called up forwards Avery Hayes and Joona Koppanen during the day, but Anthony Mantha is able to play so the lineup of skaters remains the same with Stuart Skinner in net. First period Not the best of starts, Erik Karlsson is quick to the penalty box for tripping. With Karlsson unavailable […]
He'd only been back for five games, but Pittsburgh Penguins legend Sidney Crosby is back on the shelf, it appears. Crosby suffered an injury late in the first period of their game Thursday night against the Ottawa Senators. According to Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now , Crosby left the Penguins bench with three minutes to go in the first, but didn't appear to be limping or laboring in any way. He will not return to the game. Forward Sidney Crosby will not return to to...

Mika Zibanejad recently hit a massive milestone, playing in his 1,000th career NHL game Monday night at Madison Square Garden against the Ottawa Senators , the only other team he's ever suited up for. Now the question turns to how much longer he'll be playing in a New York Rangers jersey. Mika Zibanejad Trade Value: What Changed This Season
Here's the thing about Zibanejad's situation heading into this summer: it looks completely different than it did 12 months ago. Last offseason, the...
With both teams desperate for points in their fight for playoff positioning, tonight’s game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators should have a playoff feel when the teams hit the ice. Right now, the Penguins are holding onto third place in the Metro division while the Senators cling to the second and final wild […]
The 24-year-old has turned his season around, and the Senators find themselves back in playoff positioning largely because of it.
At some point you run out of ways to say a kid is doing something no one has ever done before. Tuesday night in New York, Matthew Schaefer played an absurd 31 minutes and 59 seconds against the Chicago Blackhawks , which is the most ice time ever logged by a teenager in NHL history. The New York Islanders lost 4-3, fell out of a playoff spot, and are now tied with the Ottawa Senators for the second wild card in the East. None of that changes what Schaefer did. The 18-ye...
The Ottawa Senators tried their darndest to land a right-shot defenseman at the trade deadline, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen . He writes that GM Steve Staios kicked the tires on "virtually every right-shot defenseman that was on the market before the NHL's trade deadline on March 6th." Many of them didn't get moved, so come this summer, a lot of those same names could still be available, and talks will continue. Throw in a slew of other pending UFAs that weren't really on the block...
They never said it'd be easy...
Hey folks, long time, no write. We’re back to the time of year that every game feels like life or death, so given the stakes, we decided to bring back some game day coverage for the home stretch. Here’s hoping it gives the team the boost it needs.
There are no moral victories with what’s on the line, but Detroit’s coming off of one of its most impressive games of the season in terms of offensive chances — missing its captain, no less — on Saturday against Boston. They weren’t able to solv...
The Ottawa Senators just got even more brutal news to their blueline. In the middle of a crucial late-season push, Ottawa lost not one but two defensemen in the same game, with both Thomas Chabot and Lassi Thomson now expected to miss time.
It happened during a gritty 2-1 win over the New York Rangers , where the Senators allowed just nine shots on goal. Travis Green gave an update on both Thomas Chabot & Lassi Thomson post game: "They'll both be out for a while, that's about all I can...
