As Providence enters the final leg of the regular season, P-Bruins coach Jay Leach knows that every point along the way is important. “It’ll be a dog fight for the rest of the year,” said Leach. “We have six teams within 12 points of each other, which means every night will be a battle. The

In today’s NHL rumor rundown, there are updates on what’s going on between the Buffalo Sabres and Zach Bogosian, could the Ottawa Senators keep Jean-Gabriel Pageau and move Vladimir Namestnikov? What about the Toronto Maple Leafs and whispers they might be willing to move Tyson Barrie? Finally, do the Boston Bruins have a backup plan
Soon after the Carolina Hurricanes struck a deal with the New York Rangers to exchange prospects, talk around the league is indicating they may not be finished just yet. The Hurricanes are currently sitting in the second wild card spot with 72 points, but as the season inches closer to the end, the playoff race
A veteran of nearly 130 career fights, Kyle Clifford can see a day when dropping the gloves in the NHL has serious repercussions beyond a five-minute penalty. Just not any time soon. “It’d be a while before you see that,” said the bruising Leafs winger. “Eventually, I’m sure they’ll go that way.” It could happen
The Winnipeg Jets are bringing centre Cody Eakin home. The Jets acquired the Winnipeg-born centre from the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday for a conditional fourth-round pick in 2021. If the Jets qualify for the playoffs this year or re-sign Eakin to a new contract by July 5, the Jets will instead transfer their 2021
1:39 PM ET The Boston Bruins acquired Ondrej Kase from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for veteran David Backes, a 2020 first-round pick and prospect Axel Anderson. Kase fills a role as two-way winger for Boston, while Backes will hope to re-establish himself as an NHL presence with a new team. How did each GM
Stefan Matteau honestly didn’t appear to know the answer. When asked by Blue Jackets media Thursday night after he scored in his CBJ debut against Philadelphia, the newly signed winger couldn’t remember the last time he had tallied in an NHL game. He could only utter a singular word of exasperation at the question before
The Boston Bruins have traded forward David Backes, defender Axel Anderson and a first-round pick to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Ondrej Kase, Frank Seravalli has reported. The Bruins are also retaining 25% of Backes’ salary and cap hit, according to Chris Johnston. For the Bruins, this deal serves a few purposes as
For more than a hundred years, hockey has been a Pennsylvania passion. Its people and teams have made an indelible mark on both the NHL and the sport itself, and fans on both sides of the state have had plenty to cheer, yell, hope, mope, and even cry about. From Hall of Fame classes to
CENTRE HENRY-LEONARD, BAIE-COMEAU — Théo Rochette netted a hat trick leading the Québec Remparts to a 4-2 victory over the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. Pierrick Dubé added four assists for the Remparts. Lucas Fitzpatrick made 30 saves for the Drakkar. After a scoreless first period, the Drakkar took a 2-1 lead in the second after goals from
All eyes were on Alex Ovechkin needing two goals to reach 700 in his career. The other No. 8 on the ice scored twice instead. Ovechkin scored his 699th goal to close in on another milestone, but the Washington Capitals dropped their third in a row, losing 4-3 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens on
7:00 AM ET As we approach the NHL trade deadline on Monday, there’s some mild trepidation around the league that player movement on deadline day could be slower and less consequential than in years past. There are any number of reasons for that. The standings currently look like the type of abstract art where paint
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forwards Riley Barber and Phil Varone from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forwards Joseph Blandisi and Jake Lucchini. A Pittsburgh native, Barber signed with Montreal on July 1, 2019, after four seasons with the Washington Capitals organization. Barber has appeared in 39 games with the AHL’s Laval Rocket this
With three wins in a row, in three different ways, the Vegas Golden Knights are rounding into the team head coach Pete DeBoer needs them to be for the stretch run. The Golden Knights have defeated the past two Stanley Cup champions and one of the stingiest defensive teams in the league to start this
That Darnell Nurse needs defending after a game in which an injury-depleted Edmonton Oilers team walked away with a point against the best team in the NHL seems insane, yet here we are. In a game few expected the Oilers to win, Edmonton took the Boston Bruins to overtime, losing the game but still earning
Upon review, it may well be that the winners of last year’s trade deadline were the Ottawa Senators. Weird, huh? The Senators were dumping at the deadline, and didn’t even come close to making the playoffs. The fascination with the deadline, as we’ll see Monday with hours of TV time, is supposed to lie in
Mark Scheifele snapped a 12-game scoring drought with three power-play goals Thursday as the Winnipeg Jets beat the Ottawa Senators 5-1. Kyle Connor and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored for the Jets (32-25-5), who improved to 7-2-1 over their last 10 to move into the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Laurent Brossoit made 29
1:00 PM ET This has never happened before in the NHL. Not back when the Anaheim Ducks were Mighty, and mighty terrible as an expansion team whose leading scorer was Terry Yake. Not back in the aimless post-Wayne Gretzky years for the Los Angeles Kings, when the only thing uglier than their play was their
