Many times, an NHL season comes to be defined by the dominance of a select group. Sometimes, it’s the Year of the Goaltenders. Others, it might be the snipers who take over. In the first half, this looked like it would be a changing of the guard season . But now, a new contender emerges. Hockey fans, welcome to the Year of the PR Department Statement. It started last week, when the Senators declared war on the trolls and sick people . This week, it was the Ranger, doing what they do best: Writ...

To finish up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were in Ottawa for hockey day in Canada. Their last game against the Senators was certainly less than ideal, and this one was unfortunately no different. This time, however, the Habs had some magic up their sleeves.
After a decent first period, albeit one where the Habs could only do damage with their power play, they went to the room with a two-goal lead. What followed was an atrocious second period in which they mustered a palt...

For the fourth time of what will be five starts since returning from his conditioning loan in the AHL, Samuel Montembeault will face a non-playoff team as the Montreal Canadiens attempt to rebuild his confidence and get him back to the level he’s shown for the past couple of years. So far, the results have b...

Four goals, no win, and no answers—just draft math, trade deadline thoughts, and growing doubts about J.T. Miller.
Lightning struck twice in the playoffs, and continues to do so in 2025-26.
A tough week on the road for the Rocket ended in a split in New York with a star-making performance on Friday night for Kaapo Kähkönen in a win in Rochester. That was followed up by a disappointing loss in Syracuse where the Rocket were unable to hold on to a two-goal lead against the Crunch. The split left the Rocket just four points up in the AHL’s North Division, and with a game against the Belleville Senators on Wednesday night.
To the surprise of no one it was Kähkönen in net again f...

The Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks met at Canadian Tire Centre in the nation's capital on Tuesday night (a 2-1 Ottawa win), but the Sens' president of hockey operations and general manager Steve Staios couldn't wait for that to get a look at several potential Canucks' trade targets. He also made a trip to Montreal the day before to get another look at Vancouver's assets. As Bruce Garrioch reported in the Ottawa Sun, Staios is "actively working t...

The Ottawa Senators goaltending has been in shambles all season long, and although Linus Ullmark wasn't having a good season as the starter, he has been taken off the board and is away from the team for the foreseeable future, leaving the duties in the Senators crease to Leevi Merilainen and Mads Sogaard. Because that has gone so poorly, the team decided to bring in James Reimer. The Senators gave Reimer a game in the AHL where he didn't play well at all, but are so desperate that the team has...
Last week, I committed a grave violation of the eastern sportswriter protocol by talking about the Pacific Division. Specifically, how comically bad it was . Apparently, some Eastern Conference teams were jealous. And like a toddler who hasn’t quite grasped the distinction between good attention and bad attention, they responded by making a nasty mess all over the floor. Is that chocolate? I really hope that’s chocolate. OK, fair’s fair. Let’s talk about a few of the utter disasters unfolding ...
I, for one, am finding the humour in the Edmonton Oilers‘ inability to string together three wins. Oh, the Los Angeles Kings, one of your biggest rivals, are in town after losing to Winnipeg just 24 hours before? Whack. Big divisional game to keep pace?

Gustav Forsling and Carter Verhaeghe each produced a goal and assist in the Florida Panthers much-needed 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators that ended a two-game losing streak.
The Senators opened the scoring 4:03 into the first, one second after a high-sticking minor on Evan Rodrigues expired, when Fabian Zetterlund fetched the puck off the end boards, curled out and had his off-balance shot blocked by the blade of Gustav Forsling. The puck ramped up in the air and deflected off Sergei Bob...

It was a tough start to 2026 for the Red Wings due to back-to-back losses against Pittsburgh, but the vibes have been reversed after back-to-back wins against Ottawa and Vancouver, respectively. Okay, so Vancouver is not a good team and Ottawa is last in the Atlantic. You can only play who is on your schedule, and Detroit is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. It’s January, so I’ll take it.
Perhaps the biggest story of the day, at least for us, is Patrick Kane. PK88 reached a major milestone ag...
