Marchand brace helps Panthers topple Kings 5-2

Brad Marchand continued his hot start to the season, scoring a pair to help the Florida Panthers topple the Los Angeles Kings by a 5-2 count at Crypto.com Arena. After surrendering five-straight goals in Anaheim, the Cats opened the scoring in La La Land at the 2:06 mark when Jesper Boqvist fed Jeff Petry at the right point and he sent a shot towards the net that Sam Bennett deflected on Anton Forsberg. Forsberg was up to the initial task, but the rebound came back to Bennett and he was a...

The Packers love screens of […]

NHL Rumors: One Team Emerging For Brendan Shanahan's Next NHL Job

After rejoining the NHL’s hockey operations department, Brendan Shanahan looks like a short-term league hire with a long-term goal of running a team again.  Among the suitors, the Buffalo Sabres stand out from the pack, edging the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators thanks to multiple factors. League chatter, and Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos suggests Shanahan would listen, provided he gets Toronto Maple Leafs -style autonomy. Why Buffalo Stands Out Over Chicago and Nashville The Sa...

NHL Rumors: 3 Buffalo Sabres Trade Candidates To Watch

The Buffalo Sabres have had mixed results early on this season, and this is made apparent by their 5-5-4 record. The Sabres’ shaky start currently has them at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings, which is bad news for a team looking to break its 14-year playoff drought.  If the Sabres are unable to move up in the standings as the season continues, they will likely be sellers this campaign. Because of this, let’s look at three Sabres who could be traded if things don’t improve in...

What is Kaiden Guhle’s ceiling?

When Kaiden Guhle broke into the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens back in 2022, he was immediately thrust into a situation that was not conducive to success for a rookie defenceman in the NHL. Newly acquired Mike Matheson missed the a good chunk of the opening of the season, as did Joel Edmundson, leaving Martin St-Louis’s defence core with veterans David Savard and Chris Wideman, sophomore Jonathan Kovacevic, and a group of rookies including Guhle himself. Fully in a rebuild after finishi...
