The Carolina Hurricanes finally returned home after a long, six game road trip but lost to the Las Vegas Golden Knights, 6-3 on Tuesday night at the Lenovo Center. The home team, already depleted by injuries, were playing with just four defensemen for a period of time when both Shayne Gostisbehere and Joel Nystrom left […]
In an 82-game season, a team will have to find many different ways to win. Some will come on the back of dazzling offensive play, some by luck, some by a heroic goaltending effort, and some by a staunch defensive effort aided by goals from unlikely contributors. Tonight was such a game. The Lightning beat the Nashville Predators, 5-2, with Zemgus Girgensons scoring twice and Charle-Edouard D’Astous finding the back of the net for the first time in his NHL career. Andrei Vasilevskiy picked...

The uncertainty factor is at an all-time high this season. With 62 new head coaches, a record number of players transferring, international players becoming a more significant factor, and there’s still the incoming high school players – some of whom will make a difference, predicting the season ahead is impossible. But we do it anyway. […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 5-4-1. On the team’s performance: I liked our game pretty much, overall.

The Islanders came up empty against a struggling Bruins team, wasting a good first period and countless power play opportunities to end up losing convincingly, 5-2 in Boston.

The Avalanche had a busy weekend on the East Coast, but unfortunately, it wasn’t a very fruitful trip.

Folks, I think we’re getting to the time that we need to have a conversation about Blackhawks prospect Nick Lardis . Lardis was mentioned by Steven Ellis at Daily Faceoff as one of the five AHL prospects who are tearing it up to start the year on Tuesday. And with good reason: the start of his professional career has been as good — better? — than we could have hoped. The IceHogs had a late-morning start on Tuesday and it went quite well against the Wolves in Rosemont. Lardis scored t...

Travis Konency scored his second goal of the season tonight against the Penguins, and it was a milestone goal as it was the 200th of his career as a Flyer. Konecny, who became the seventeenth Flyer to hit that achievement, scored the tally early in the second on a nice shot that beat Penguins goalie Arturs Silovs clean and low on the stick side. Sean Couturier and Bobby Brink had the assists. Konecny nearly potted his 200th minutes earlier on a shorthanded attempt but Silovs just got enough of...
Head down to the comments to talk about Tuesday’s game against the Senators! Game Preview
With all the extension talk around the NHL focusing on other big names, like Adrian Kempe, Alex Tuch and Martin Necas, one name that's perhaps flown under the radar is Dallas Stars elite blueliner Thomas Harley. He has now signed an eight-year deal worth $84.7 million ($10.59 million AAV). Now in his 5th NHL season, Harley logs well over 23 minutes a night for the Stars, and can be counted on to register in the neighborhood of 50 points while racking up blocked shots and posting tremendous plu...

Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha's name has been front and... center on the rumor mill in the early stages of the season. That's undoubtedly due to a combination of the Bruins' slow start and the demand massively outweighing the supply on viable centers around the league these days. But insider Pierre LeBrun , speaking on TSN's Insider Trading, has dropped some significant intel on the chances of a Zacha trade this season (hint: it's slim to none). What I'm being told, in terms of ...
