The Florida Panthers finished up its five-game road trip with a 6-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena to get back to NHL .500.
An ad hoc line consisting of Eetu Luostarinen, Mackie Samoskevich and A.J. Greer combined for eight points in the win.
Luostarinen opned the scoring just twenty-three seconds into the tilt when he blindly drove4 the rebound of Samsokevich’s miss, that caromed off the end boards, through the legs of Joseph Woll.
After receiving a cr...

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 6-2 loss to the Florida Panthers, which dropped the Leafs’ record to 32-34-14. On William Villeneuve’s debut (18:45 TOI): I thought he was really good. On the first couple of shifts, there were obviously nerves, but I thought he had a good game. He did good things […]

Wisconsin goaltender Daniel Hauser sat at his stall, goalie pads, jersey and skates still on, as a teammate came up and hugged him.All around the locker room, the rest of the Badgers were doing the same: sitting in their gear, some with towels over their hair, some with their heads in their hands, some with tears.“This team means everything to me,” sophomore Ryan Botterill said. “These are all...
As skaters took turns hoisting the national championship trophy over their heads, blaring throughout T-Mobile Arena was “All I Do Is Win.”A typical song to play after championships have been won.But the song seemed especially poignant, given that Denver was doing the winning. Because, really, all Denver seems to do is win, win, win, no matter what.It was most aptly put by Paxton Geisel, a Denver...

Well, that’s that then. Not mathematically, but it doesn’t take a savant to see we’re out of the playoff hunt. What makes it worse is the manner of it – drifting out of the race with a jarring set of bumps and whimpers. No drama, no fight, just a slow slide into irrelevance. For much […]
On a day when the University of Denver hockey team won their historic 11th National Championship, it felt like nothing could go wrong in the Colorado sports world. Alas, there was no more Mile High Magic to go around for the Colorado Rockies (or Colorado Avalanche) tonight. Things got off to a promising start. Ryan […]
The Portland Trail Blazers will close their 2025-26 regular season schedule on Sunday evening with a game against the Sacramento Kings. But it wouldn’t be a Blazers game without intrigue about the injury list and who will be healthy (or not) for the contest. The Blazers welcomed guard Shaedon Sharpe back after a 26-game absence […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Los Angeles Dodgers scored six runs. Even after turning a corner last season, Jack Leiter remains a work in progress. Or, perhaps a better way to say it is he’ll likely always be prone to having nights like this as long as command is never his strong […]
LOS ANGELES — Emmet Sheehan had his best start of the early season, backed by early home runs in the Dodgers’ 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers wore their city connect uniforms for the first time in 2026, and connected right away off Rangers starter Jack Leiter. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were the better team all day at T-Mobile Arena, but the final tally on the scoreboard goes to the Denver Pioneers as they scored two third-period goals to win the 2026 National Championship by a score of 2-1. The Badgers had their chances. After freshman Vasily Zelenov gave Wisconsin a first-period lead, […]
With the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings winning their respective games today, the Winnipeg Jets needed the same result in their game against the Philadelphia Flyers if they wanted any legitimate chance at making the playoffs. Mathematically, the Jets wouldn't be eliminated from the race, but the required wins and losses to get in are at their maximums after tonight's woeful, uninspired 7-1 hammering at the hands of the Flyers. For a team that needed to be at its best to make the...
Chicago lost yet again on Saturday at the United Center, falling 5-3 to the St. Louis Blues.
St. Louis struck first midway through the opening period. The Blackhawks weren’t able to get the puck out and, after some cycling, Jimmy Snuggerud got to the net to tip in Tyler Tucker’s shot.
Not sure there's a more perfect tip than that. #stlblues pic.twitter.com/dS3bAXIjGI — St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) April 11, 2026
The Blackhawks evened the score 1-1 about five minutes lat...
It was a scary-looking scene for Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk on Saturday. He left the game near the end of the second period after some sort of mysterious ailment robbed him of his balance. He stumbled off the ice and went to the locker room. Tkachuk in serious discomfort. Left the game. #GoSensGo pic.twitter.com/uCdFQ2urLN — Everyday Sens (@EverydaySens) April 11, 2026 Tkachuk actually tried to come back at the beginning of the third period, but lasted only 10 seconds on the ice bef...
Recap of the game.
The Philadelphia Flyers might be the hunted, but try telling them that! Erasing the loss to Detroit on Thursday, Philadelphia trounced the Winnipeg Jets 7-1 on Saturday night, keeping their third seeding in the Metropolitan Division. And control of their own destiny.
The basics
First period: 1:17- Porter Martone (Travis Konecny), 6:57- Haydn Fleury (Cole Koepke, Jonathan Toews), 8:24- Matvei Michkov (Noah Cates, Denver Barkey), 8:49- Sean Couturier (Unassisted) Second period: 11:41- ...
First period
The Blue Jackets need these points more, and they’re playing like it early. The Canadiens are getting caught off guard, and now trail 1-0 on a goal by Boone Jenner.
After he gave the puck away to set up the offensive-zone time of Columbus, Mike Matheson then gets his hand on Kirill Marchenko’s hip to take a holding penalty.
The power play is killed, but shots are 9-0 Columbus after four minutes of play.
Montreal’s best shift is put together by the second line...
Jordan Staal notched his 20th goal of the season and the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Utah Mammoth, 4-1 on Saturday evening in Salt Lake City. It was Staal’s first 20 goal season in nine years. The Canes have now won three games in a row and they look like they are certainly peaking at the […]
Sometimes you need a little help crossing the finish line. The Edmonton Oilers are officially in the dance and have clinched a playoff spot on Saturday night. Despite losing 1-0 to the Los Angeles Kings in the afternoon, the Winnipeg Jets’ defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers means the Oilers get a “x”…
