Following Dylan Larkin's first game back on home ice for the Detroit Red Wings, head coach Todd McLellan put the matter to rest with a stern statement.
It didn’t get off to a nice start, but it did end up pretty well. Dylan Larkin’s season debut for the Detroit Red Wings had a bit of everything. All that matters to Todd McLellan , though, is that the date finally arrived. Now that they can put it in the rearview mirror, McLellan is ready for the Red Wings to get their 2026-27 NHL season back...
It was a tough collapse Wednesday night in Toronto for the Nashville Predators. After skating out to a 3-0 lead, the Preds lost their footing, and the Maple Leafs soared back for a 5-4 overtime victory. Nashville has just seven goals total in their three games (and four of them came in last night's loss). Should the team start to question their direction as the season moves along, it's quite possible that new president of hockey operations and general manager Chris MacFarland could p...
Happy Thursday, Insiders! The Kings were back on the ice in a full-group capacity after an optional day yesterday. The entire team was at the rink yesterday, but most players used the gym for an off-ice workout, considering the three days before games. There was always going to be one highly optional day, if not […]

Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner spent almost a decade playing together with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and even though Marner turned his back on the franchise, Matthews was still very happy to see Marner's success in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Vegas Golden Knights. Marner and Matthews are set to faceoff for the first time this season, and Matthews was asked about Marner leading the league in postseason points last season. It's obvious the two remain very close off the ice, and have still...

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to be a team to watch on the NHL's trade market. General manager John Chayka has been busy since he took over revamping the roster, and there's certainly more moves to come for the Leafs. However, don't expect to see Easton Cowan traded, as the former first-round pick has moved up the lineup, taking over for Gavin McKenna on Toronto's second line, and despite tons of trade interest, the team won't be moving Cowan anytime soon. Elliotte Friedman: Re Easton Cowan...
The Winnipeg Jets are dealing with goalie Connor Hellebuyck's trade demand, and the Detroit Red Wings are dealing with center Dylan Larkin's trade demand. But Jets and Wings brass are pushing back. What future is ahead for the two stars?
Ahead of the game in Vegas, head coach Jim Hiller discussed his lineup change in the middle-six forward group, Easton Cowan’s opportunity alongside John Tavares and William Nylander, Gavin McKenna’s first NHL road game, facing Mitch Marner, and Tavares’ strong performance against Nashville. After the last game, you weren’t sure what you’d do with the […]

No one wants to throw water on the tremendous start that the Winnipeg Jets have had this season. They're one of the best stories of this young NHL campaign, getting off to an unbeaten 3-0-1 start with two new goalies playing lights-out in place of their All-Star holdout, Connor Hellebuyck. But there's one other Jets veteran who might not want to be a part of the team for the entire season, according to a report by Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast. I think the only other thin...
The Detroit Red Wings are starting to realize they're far from contending, and can shift their trade focus to future considerations. Speculation is brewing that the Red Wings front office has changed their tone of late, and is open to different trade packages for former captain Dylan Larkin, and restricted free-agent defenceman Simon Edvinsson. Sportnet's Frank Seravalli reports, the Red Wings are active in trade chatter, and could see some top prospects and draft picks coming back in return: ...
The San Jose Sharks continue the team’s two game road trip in St. Louis today and all eyes are on Macklin Celebrini, wondering if the center will play in tonight’s game.

BUFFALO – For the final 15 minutes of Tuesday’s thrilling 3-2 overtime win, Sabres winger Josh Doan , who began the night skating on the top line, watched from the bench.
Following the game, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff acknowledged the obvious, that Doan, who went pointless in the first three contests, is “struggling right now.”
So when Ruff shortened his bench and revamped his lines late against the Minnesota Wild, Doan, 24, was one of ... Read the full article

Mike Sullivan had enough praise for his New York Rangers squad to put the rest of the NHL on notice about what's brewing in The Big Apple.
Although the New York Rangers have encountered their first wave of adversity early in the 2026-27 NHL season, they have virtually come away from it unscathed. Thus, Mike Sullivan didn’t hesitate to speak highly of his squad’s resilience, and that should strike fear into opponents.
After the opening-night 3-0 loss against the Boston Bruins, Rangers ca...
