When the Detroit Tigers traded left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin to the Texas Rangers at the trade deadline in 2024, it was never likely to be an impactful deal. The Tigers got sidearmer Chase Lee in the deal, but it was the second piece, right-handed starter Joseph Montalvo, who was expected to be the modest centerpiece. […]

Winnipeg Jets The Winnipeg Jets just had a four-game win streak snapped, but that doesn't fix thei...

The Eastern Conference this season continues to see teams surge and then fall back, fall back and then surge. Here’s the conference as of this morning. Pittsburgh, though ninth overall, would qualify for the playoffs as of today due to ranking third in the Metropolitan Division. Since Christmas, there have been some surges and some […]
The Nashville Predators have gotten themselves into the playoff race with better play in the latter half of the first half of the season, but this is still a team that needs some changes. There doesn't appear to be a change in emotion from Jonathan Marchessault and his willingness to be traded, but Ryan O'Reilly and Steven Stamkos like it much more in Nashville and with their situation. Nick Kypreos said, "Jonathan Marchessault is the player to watch here and probably more of a target for othe...
The Blackhawks los t again last night. The Bruins came in playing really well, and controlled most of the game even though the Hawks took a 2-0 lead in the first period. Where some of the Blackhawks’ problems have come in the last two games has been trying to do much. Jason Dickinson talked about maybe trying to do one thing too many too often. And his head coach agree that keeping things simple has worked — and the Hawks got away from that last night. “When you’re pressing instead of tak...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing well, but they are caught competing in a very tough race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Nevertheless, they are eight games above .500, and if they keep up the pace they're on or even just close to it, they will eventually separate and gain the upper hand on some of the teams around them. With that being said, the Maple Leafs are dealing with injuries to the defense in which they will have to address. This isn't a season in which the team can a...
On Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers couldn’t buy themselves a goal. They got shut out 1-0 by Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders as Connor McDavid’s 20-game point streak came to a screeching halt.

First Period The real story of the game came in the first period, dooming the Devils from there. I knew in my soul that we were in for a rough one when Frederik Andersen at one point batting the puck out of the air with his paddle. Despite having one of the worst save percentages […]
To finish up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were in Ottawa for hockey day in Canada. Their last game against the Senators was certainly less than ideal, and this one was unfortunately no different. This time, however, the Habs had some magic up their sleeves. After a decent first period, albeit one where the Habs could only do damage with their power play, they went to the room with a two-goal lead. What followed was an atrocious second period in which they mustered a palt...

The Florida Panthers bounced back from an embarrassing performance in Raleigh with a gutsy 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals in the second half of a back-to-back to close its six-game road trip on a positive note.

Bennett tried to come out in front and stuff the puck past Logan Thompson. Thompson denied the bid, but kicked the puc...
