Lightning Morning News: Could Colton Sissons fill a role with the Lightning?

There isn’t going to much change in the Tampa Bay Lightning roster over this summer. At least that’s what Julien BriseBois is leading everyone to believe. For the most part, it’s not a bad idea. The Lightning have been one of the better teams in the league over the last two seasons in a lot of categories that tend to lead to post-season success. Unfortunately, that hasn’t quite worked out for them when it counts, but the only way up is to keep improving. One area that they can use a boost...

The Wild May Be Willing to Trade Anyone Except These 4 Players

The Minnesota Wild are going to be aggressive this summer (or at least, people hope so) to get their right guy that will bring this team further into the Stanley Cup Playoffs than ever before. Is that a No. 1 center? A top-six winger? Maybe both? Yeah, probably. Or, at least general manager Bill Gue...

NHL Rumors: Canadiens Could Make Blockbuster Trade For Center

The Montreal Canadiens ' rebuild arrived ahead of schedule. They've made it to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Carolina Hurricanes, seven wins away from the Stanley Cup, and are doing it with a roster younger than almost anyone in the league expected to be here this fast. They're currently down 3-1 in the series after winning the first game, however. The question Kent Hughes now faces is whether to stay patient and trust the system or accelerate the timeline by moving one of his ...

Texas Rangers DFA 5x All-Star & Former MVP Winner

The Texas Rangers designated Andrew McCutchen for assignment ahead of their game against the Houston Astros, ending the veteran's tenure in Arlington after 37 games and signing utility infielder Nicky Lopez to a one-year major league contract in a corresponding move.

NHL Rumors: Sharks & Blues Becoming Trade Partners

The St. Louis Blues enter the 2026 NHL Draft with three first-round picks, twelve total selections, and a prospect pool that The Athletic 's Scott Wheeler ranked tenth in the league as recently as March. They also have a problem. As Wheeler wrote, the Blues' pool is missing a truly elite prospect. With picks at 11th and 15th overall, plus Colorado's first-rounder slotting in somewhere around 30th when the Avalanche's season ends, the Blues have the assets to be aggressive. The question everyon...

Canadiens vs. Hurricanes Top Six Minutes: Habs can’t climb out of first-period hole

First period Jakub Dobeš makes the first big play of the night with a breakaway stop on Jackson Blake. Carolina gets a few more chances after two weak clearance by the Canadiens. They haven’t learned that lesson through three games. Another nonchalant pass from Noah Dobson gets picked off for another shot. The Habs are just asking to get scored on first once again with these defensive-zone plays. The crowd reacts as Nick Suzuki is cross-checked in the back to the ice in h...

25-30 – Rangers get back to business with 4-3 loss to Astros

The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Houston Astros scored four runs. Eschewing the exchange of bizarre history that highlighted the first two games of this series, the Rangers and Astros instead settled into more standard fare at The Shed tonight with a low-scoring contest that sort of became a home run derby between […]

The Cats Came Back

This might seem like a historical piece abhHL in Augusta, Georgia from 1998 until 2009 in front of rather modest crowds during that era. The Lynx's best season came in 1999-2000 when the team was eliminated in the third round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs, but that history may get a chance to be overwritten by the ECHL's 32nd franchise that will begin play in 2027-28. This new team will be called the Augusta Lynx, but the logo, colours, and branding for these cats will be completely new and wholly...
