Some believe that having an elite top line center is the single most important element a team needs to win a Stanley Cup. The
It’s not really a secret, but Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice may have ever-so slightly tipped his hand when it comes to the game plan of the Jets heading into Game 2 versus the Oilers. It came in the form of a simple comment that could signal his thought process throughout the rest of
In an Edmonton Oilers news and rumors update, Connor McDavid accomplished an amazing feat with the NHL’s regular season now complete. Meanwhile, Slater Koekkoek showed well in the final game of the Oilers season. Where does he fit into the playoff plan? Will Gaetan Haas and Zack Kassian get much playing time and how often

The Winnipeg Jets are in a complete and utter free fall, losers of five straight and seemingly without answers as to how to turn things around. Here, we’ll take a look at their disastrous 0-5 homestand and the key moment in each game that turned the tide irreversibly toward a loss. April 17 vs the
A franchise like the Edmonton Oilers has seen some of the best and some of the worst players throughout their storied history. The Oilers have had the luxury of selecting first overall at the NHL Draft on four different occasions since 2010 and needless to say not all of them have lived up to that

The Montreal Canadiens’ rookie defenseman Alexander Romanov isn’t a typical rookie. The 21-year-old left-shot defenseman was drafted 38th overall during the 2018 NHL Entry Draft; however, if that draft were to happen again, he’d probably be a top-10 draft pick. After his time in the KHL, Romanov became one of the top prospects not playing
