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.

The Philadelphia Flyers sent 22-year-old winger Justin Williams to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for defenseman Danny Markov in January 2004.

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.

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.

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.
