Yakov Trenin’s return from an upper-body injury gave the Minnesota Wild a much-needed boost in Game 5 against the Dallas Stars, and his presence mattered in ways that went beyond the stat sheet.

Gameweek 35 is here with just three gameweeks left in the season, so every decision matters more than ever. After a series of double and blank gameweeks, this round returns to a normal schedule, with all 20 teams playing once. That gives Fantasy managers a clearer set of fixtures to plan transfers and captaincy At […]
The Minnesota Wild are not known for being a beefy team. Their most important players include Kirill Kaprizov (5-foot-10), Quinn Hughes (5-foot-10), Jared Spurgeon (5-foot-9), and Mats Zuccarello (5-foot-8). On the other hand, their first-round opponent, the Dallas Stars, boast the second-tallest an...

It was a white-knuckle Game 6, but in the end the Philadelphia Flyers prevailed in their first-round battle against the Pittsburgh Penguins. And before we look ahead to the Carolina Hurricanes, it’s grading day for all of the Flyers who participated in the six-game series. Here they are according to position, but in no particular order. Goaltenders Dan Vladar Vladar stopped 148 of 158 shots in six games and change, including a stellar 42-save performance in Game 6. A ridiculousl...

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have long been referred to as “The Dynamic Duo” for the Edmonton Oilers for years now.

Podkolzin and Kapanen have combined for 10 points in five…

Before the Philadelphia Flyers took on the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the playoffs, a whole bunch of writers here at Broad Street Hockey huddled around a document and decided to jot down some thoughts and some predictions for what is going to happen. And now, after the Flyers knocked the Penguins out of the playoffs in six games, we get to sit back and look at all of our predictions and just how right (or terribly wrong) they are. Well, hopefully we don’t look like a b...
Mats Zuccarello’s return gave the Minnesota Wild exactly the spark they needed, and the effects were obvious almost immediately. Only 3 minutes and 51 seconds into the game, the Dallas Stars attempted to clear the puck out of their zone. Ryan Hartman intercepted the clearing attempt, passed th...
The New Jersey Devils don’t have an extensive list of players set to hit free agency once the playoffs conclude, but there are some minor pieces set to enter unrestricted free agency.

The Pittsburgh Penguins playoff run and 2025-26 season came to an end on Wednesday night with a 1-0 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.
