The second round predictions worked out well for us, 3-1 and correctly predicted the number of games it would take in both Eastern Conference series to improve to 9-2 on the postseason. Only those damn Ducks confounded us, they won when we predicted a loss in the first round and lost when a win was […]

Jakob Pelletier only appeared in five NHL games this season, his lowest since he made his debut in 2022-23. While that probably wasn’t what he was hoping for when he inked his three-year deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning last summer, he didn’t let it affect his game. Instead, he put up a career season with the Syracuse Crunch, leading the AHL in points. In turn, he was named the Fortune Tires “Expect More” AHL Player of the Year. In 63 games, Pelletier put up 28 goals and 49 assists. Five...
Get ready to see Kyle Dubas try to reunite with Mason Marchment. Dubas admits that over the course of his time in hockey, Marchment is the only player who got away from him, and now the Pittsburgh Penguins president has a chance to land Marchment in free agency. Expect to see the Penguins make a multi-year lucrative offer to the pending free-agent forward the first day they're able July 1. Dubas will likely replace Anthony Mantha with Marchment in the Penguins top six, even though Mantha had a...
Devon Levi was the prized piece the Buffalo Sabres received when they traded Sam Reinhart to Florida in 2021. He was the goaltending prospect who was supposed to anchor the franchise's future between the pipes for the next decade. That plan has changed. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported the Sabres are now shopping Levi, and Jeff Marek went further on Coming In Hot , stating that the relationship between the organization and their former top goalie prospect is effectively o...
The Chicago Blackhawks finished 29-39-14 for 72 points, dead last in the Central Division and 31st overall in the NHL standings. Connor Bedard has established himself as a franchise center, posting new career highs in goals, assists, and points despite playing on one of the league's worst rosters around him. The rebuild has produced draft capital, cap space, and a prospect pool that analysts consistently rank among the best in the sport. What it has not yet produced is the impact forward...

When the Colorado Rockies welcomed the Texas Rangers to Coors Field for Game 2, their hope was to pick up where they left off after getting a Monday night win. After all, it was “Bark in the Park,” so the vibes (and the dogs!) were good. However, by the time the game ended, there was […]
The Texas Rangers scored a girthy ten runs while the Colorado Rockies scored no runs at all. This one’ll do wonders for the ol’ Pythagorean W-L. Maybe last night’s loss was the kick in the butt moment the Rangers needed as they came out tonight and immediately scored a couple of runs before turning to […]
Postgame update: After the game, Warren Schaeffer provided an update. “Left side contusion on that diving play out there,” Schaeffer said. “We’ll know more tomorrow, but that was painful.” Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle left today’s game against the Texas Rangers after making a spectacular diving attempt on a ball in the first inning, […]
The Philadelphia Flyers don’t have to do a ton this offseason. Their moves last summer to add Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak, and Dan Vladar worked out well, helping the team make the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The roster is now more or less set, and although changes can always happen, you can look at the players the Flyers have under contract for next season and be happy enough to run it back for the most part. Adding another top-six center would be nice, as would a de...
It’s official! The PWHL will play in San Jose next season. In a press conference this afternoon, officials from the Professional Women’s Hockey League were joined on stage by San Jose soccer legend Brandi Chastain and Bay Area skating legend Kristi Yamaguchi to make the announcement. While there are a lot of details to be ironed out before the season starts in December, there are some things that PWHL Executive Vice President of Business Operations Amy Scheer can promise. “I think there’s...
Well, there will be no arbitration hearings this summer for the Tampa Bay Lightning (unless, of course, Julien BriseBois pulls off some sort of trade). The Bolts headed into the off-season with one restricted free agent that had arbitration rights, and on Tuesday, they agreed to a contract with that player. Max Groshev is now under contract for another two seasons as he agrees to a two-year, two-way deal with the Lightning. Groshev was selected in the third round of the 2020 draft and has...

After Tuesday’s practice, Toronto Marlies head coach John Gruden discussed splitting the two road games in Cleveland, areas for improvement for Game 3, Ben Danford’s first two playoff appearances, and the team’s strength in net. Over the first two games of the series, it seemed like there were maybe 25 minutes of playing the way […] The post John Gruden on Ben Danford’s two playoff appearances for the Marlies: “He is not afraid of the moment” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
One area that the Edmonton Oilers have improved in the past few years is their prospect pool. They’ve signed quite a few players from the NCAA and Europe, but one of the most notable moves to bolster their prospect pool came last off-season when they traded Sam O’Reilly for Isaac Howard. During the 2024 draft,…
