The Edmonton Oilers had a chance to clinch a playoff berth on Saturday if they could grab at least a point in their matinee against the Los Angeles Kings. From L.A.’s side, they’re clinging to the second Wild Card spot, and with only a handful of games left, the margin for error is razor-thin. So,…

The San Jose Sharks are in the final stretch of the season and while the team is still mathematically in the hunt for a playoff spot, most fans know that the search for the playoffs is over.

The Penguins went into full coast mode after clinching a playoff berth and their place as second seed in the division by resting several players. All of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang, Ben Kindel and Parker Witherspoon were held out with “day-to-day injuries” in the meaningless game. The skeleton crew […]
The Islanders’ seasonlong power play failings came back to bit them in a big way as they suffered a near-fatal 3-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators at home Saturday afternoon. It was a terrible time to suffer just their second shutout of the season, but it was well deserved with a fumbling power play (0-for-5, […]
In a game that resembled a lot of their recent efforts, the Tampa Bay Lightning finally found a way to pick up a win as Emil Lilleberg put home a rebound with 95 seconds left in the game to give the Lightning a 2-1 lead that they managed to hold. Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up another win as he stopped 19-fo-20 shots. Brandon Hagel returned to action and picked up his 36th goal of the season. Prior to the game, it was announced that Zemgus Girgensons and Darren Raddysh would miss the game w...

After this disastrous season for the Vancouver Canucks, there will be plenty of changes. Both on the ice and off it. In particular, the futures of general manager Patrik Allvin and head coach Adam Foote are in doubt . There is some intrigue around Allvin's situation. He is thought of highly around the organization, but so is assistant GM Ryan Johnson. And coincidentally, it's been reported that the Canucks turned down a request from the Nashville Predators to speak with Johnson ab...

Another exciting matchup between teams out of the playoffs.
Max Schuemann is the answer to a baseball trivia question: “Who fielded the last out for the Athletics in their final game at the Oakland Coliseum?” It was September 26, 2024 and the batter was Travis Jankowski of the Texas Rangers. “I was playing third base, kind of shifted over playing short,” Schuemann said. “The […]
