The New York Islanders needed this one after an extremely disappointing game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night.

The Islanders continue to tempt fate and add injuries to the blueline as they host the Dallas Stars tonight.

Obviously losing hockey games at any point of the season is not a good thing, but considering the Minnesota Wild had a streak of losses against non-playoff teams and have now lost back-to-back games against for-real Stanley Cup contenders in the Stars and Lightning, the doubt is starting to creep in...
A little bit of this would have gone a long way a couple of weeks ago. Seriously, where was this kind of effort against Calgary and Detroit? Or, for that matter, Washington last Friday? Not that it was perfect by any means, but the Devils team that turned what looked like a surefire, “get-right” game […]

If this year’s Flyers team has shown us anything, it’s low-event hockey. The team under the stead of Rick Tocchet has prioritized the prevention of shots against above everything else, and the numbers reflect that reality.
The Flyers have allowed the fourth least shots in the league to this point, less than contenders like the Avalanche, the Stars, and the Lightning. They play a very tight, perimeter game that makes it hard for most teams to truly set up and find open shooting lanes...

A lot has been made of the Minnesota Wild's recent stretch of bad games and bad results against bad teams. They have shed that concern somewhat with Saturday's overtime win over the Dallas Stars, but this week will show if they can truly keep it up.
On Tuesday, they face possibly the best team...
After falling 2-1 to the Dallas Stars in a shootout at home on Wednesday, the Colorado Avalanche kicked off a four-game road trip against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Avs would get the better of the Blackhawks with a 4-1 win, and officially secured a playoff berth with that win as well. Let’s take a look […]
The Dallas Stars are ready to admit it, finally. Jason Robertson is priority number one this offseason, and GM Jim Nill made that crystal clear . With speculation building around his future, Dallas has now publicly committed to locking up one of the NHL’s most underrated scorers this summer.

Back home and following pair of days off, the Blackhawks host the Minnesota Wild on St. Patrick’s Day for a national broadcast on TNT, the first of consecutive meetings between the two divisional foes.
The Wild are largely in cruise control for the rest of the regular season, as they’re pretty solidly locked into the No. 3 spot in the Central Division, almost guaranteed to be facing the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs. Minnesota is six points behind Dallas’ 94 and the Star...
You wouldn't know it, but the Dallas Stars have been missing one of their best players since early February. They have a 15-game unbeaten streak (14-0-1), a franchise-record-tying feat. But the last time superstar Mikko Rantanen played was back on February 4th, just six games into this streak. Rantanen was injured while playing for Finland at the Olympics, and his return has been undetermined. Today, they got the news that it'll be at least another two weeks or so before he's back. ...
The Edmonton Oilers accomplished the bare minimum, securing a winning record on their four-game road trip this past week.

Earlier this week, Jarry came in for an injured Connor Ingram against the Colorado Avalanche,…
It was an ugly night for the Edmonton Oilers. Jason Robertson had two goals and two assists, Wyatt Johnston had another three-point game against Edmonton, and the Dallas Stars went up 5-0 early in the second period, before eventually winning 7-2. Flat as a pancake, an emotional let-down. The Oilers chased the game right from…
The Edmonton Oilers kicked off their road trip with two massive wins in Vegas and Colorado, but the job didn’t get any easier for round three when the boys faced the Dallas Stars. But while the Oilers brought their best for the first two games of the trip, the same could not be said about…
After one of the Edmonton Oilers’ best games of the season, the Oilers put up a stinker in the following game. On Thursday, the Oilers played the third of four games on the road, travelling to Dallas to play the Stars. While it wasn’t as bad as their 8-3 loss earlier this season, it wasn’t…
The Edmonton Oilers will have one of their top players celebrate a significant milestone on Thursday night.
