The New York Islanders stumbled into the All-Star break, going 6-7-2 over their last 15 games. For a team expected to compete for the Stanley Cup, the Islanders must play better, and that starts with the player personnel. They do not have one of the more talented rosters in the NHL and rely on an

But Toronto’s Auston Matthews
Matthew Tkachuk doesn’t need to be reminded of the Pacific Division’s razor-thin margins. And if he did, the Calgary Flames winger wouldn’t have to go far. “There’s standings posted in our locker room, there’s [stat] sheets out,” Tkachuk said. “It’s hard to miss it even if you’re not trying to look for it. “I see
Avs rumored need for a defenseman doesn’t make sense unless… AJ Haefele: “All due respect to the reporting work others are doing but it simply makes no sense for the Avs to add a defender at the trade deadline unless it’s a major upgrade. Not sure that guy is available this year on D. Avs

The decision to fire general manager Ray Shero came as a shock to almost everyone. But when looking at the New Jersey Devils’ situation, it makes more sense. They had one playoff win in four-plus seasons under Shero, which is not good enough that far into someone’s tenure. Now comes the hard part of trying to regroup,
The Philadelphia Flyers were dealt a significant blow shortly before the NHL’s All-Star break, as the team announced starting goaltender Carter Hart would miss two to three weeks with an abdominal strain.
