Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott, known best for his lucky socks, has interviewed with the Nashville Predators for their vacant general manager’s job, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported. Scott joined the Oilers organization as the general manager of their AHL affiliate, the Oklahoma City Barons, for the 2010-11 season, spending four years there. He was…
Pending unrestricted free agent Bobby McMann has broken out big-time since arriving in the Pacific Northwest, with seven goals and 11 points in eight games with the Seattle Kraken since the trade at the deadline. Insider Elliotte Friedman says the Kraken have no intention of letting the forward get away in free agency this summer. I don't think it's gone very far down the road yet, but we're under the impression that the Kraken have indicated to McMann that they would like to try and keep him....

The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. And you know that this team, which has shown some fight and gumption in the games AFTER Gudas chopped down Auston Matthews with his dirty hit, would love to get a crack at him for some revenge. But Gudas was in a walking boot after Thursday's Ducks game following an awkward fall against the boards. He didn't play in Anaheim's game on Saturday. That would give him an 'out' from having to face the music against the Leafs...

It’s happened. The Philadelphia Flyers have signed top prospect Porter Martone and he’s coming to make his NHL debut soon. But, who will he play with during that debut? Martone is possibly the most NHL-ready prospect we’ve seen in a while, so he doesn’t need to be carefully placed in the league as a newborn baby is laid down on their crib. But, his debut shouldn’t be necessarily reckless and just throwing him into the lion’s den to see if he can manage to not get torn to shreds within the...
The rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may be falling apart. If it does, we should be glad. In February, the streaming giant Netflix announced that the two would fight again on September 19 at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with Mayweather announcing around the same time that he was “resuming his boxing career” […]

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their road trip with a stop in New Jersey to face the Devils, looking to salvage something, anything , from a stretch that’s quickly gone off the rails. It’s been a while since the Blackhawks last saw the Devils — all the way back in mid-November — and the version of this team now feels pretty different from the one that was still hovering around the playoff picture at the time. The Devils spent the first couple of months flirting with relevance in the Easte...

And with that, most likely ending up in the lineup for Philadelphia down the stretch, possibly playing very meaningful games as the Flyers try to keep hunting down teams ahead of them. Philadelphia should be over the moon knowing Martone is coming. Speculat...

For just the second time this season, the Oilers are on a three-game winning streak. This stretch has come at an ideal time for Edmonton.

Kieran Trippier’s future at Newcastle United is increasingly uncertain as he approaches the end of his current contract. The 35-year-old has featured regularly this season, but just because of Tino Livramento’s injury absence. With the veteran no longer considered part of Eddie Howe’s strongest starting XI when the squad is fully fit, it’s fair to […]
