On Wednesday night, May 19, the puck drops on Game 1 of the National Hockey League Scotia North Division semi-final between the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets.

When the Chicago Blackhawks look back on the 2020-21 season, they’ll be left wondering what could have been if they had successfully leveraged that impressive start to their rebuild.

On July 21, the Seattle Kraken will take the stage for the first time in franchise history and kick off the much-anticipated expansion draft. Fans have debated over who will be protected and who will be left exposed ever since Seattle was granted the 32nd franchise back in December 2018, and while some teams will
It’s undeniable that Jake DeBrusk’s current season with the Boston Bruins has been disappointing. The 24-year-old winger has only 11 points in 36 games, a far cry from his 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, where he scored 43 and 42 points, respectively. The opportunity arose for DeBrusk to adjust when he returned from a one-game benching
On July 2, 2001, the Philadelphia Flyers made a trade that would shift the trajectory of the franchise for decades to come.

The Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft is set to take place on July 21, 2021, and the St. Louis Blues will likely lose a quality player, similar to when they lost David Perron to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017. With the amount of money that expansion franchises spend to enter the NHL these days, they
After a disappointing first-round exit to the Dallas Stars in the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Nashville Predators needed a boost in offensive firepower. Their forwards produced a measly nine goals in six games, with Rocco Grimaldi accounting for a third of them. Players like Filip Forsberg and Craig Smith were held off the scoresheet,
The Philadelphia Flyers sent 22-year-old winger Justin Williams to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for defenseman Danny Markov in January 2004. Williams was a solid offensive contributor who was still developing at the time of the trade after breaking into the NHL just one day after his 19th birthday. However, trouble transitioning into a new
For the first time in a long time, you can say the Toronto Maple Leafs have a strong defensive core. It still feels weird to say that. For as long as I can remember, the Maple Leafs’ defense has always been a focal point when it comes to areas that need improvement. And after sitting
Buffalo Sabres prospect Jack Quinn was viewed as a questionable selection at eighth overall in the 2020 NHL Draft. Many scouts believed that he wasn’t even the best prospect on his team, as Marco Rossi was seen as a player with a higher upside. Those opinions wouldn’t change over the coming months. After playing for
Winnipeg Jets fans and everyone involved in the organization had a very exciting Friday, as the team announced that Adam Lowry signed a five-year contract extension and will not become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

For all the hope and promise that a recent three-game winning streak gave the slumping St. Louis Blues, a 4-3 home loss to the division-leading Colorado Avalanche brought coach Craig Berube’s team crashing back down to earth. Faced with the reality that just about every team in the Honda West is mathematically still “in it,”
The 2000 NHL Draft was a big one for the Minnesota Wild. After all, it was the first in the franchise’s history and its effects were felt within the organization for years to come. With the expansion draft behind them, the Wild entered the 2000 NHL Draft with nine total draft picks across the first
Week 10 of the 2020-21 NHL season featured an abundance of high-scoring matchups. A total of five or more goals were scored in 37 of the 54 games played. Moreover, a single team scored five or more goals in a game 13 times. The Colorado Avalanche led the league in scoring, tallying 19 goals for
Whether the St. Louis Blues close the curtain on 2020-21 by hoisting the Stanley Cup, or by abruptly clearing out their lockers in stunned silence, three of the team’s MVP candidates should be medical trainer Ray Barile, assistant coaches Steve Ott and Mike Van Ryn. Barile has put together the NHL’s version of an Iron
Alex Ovechkin moved past Phil Esposito into sixth place on the all-time NHL goal-scoring list when he scored the 718th of his career, a second-period power-play goal for the Washington Capitals in their 3-1 win against the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
