The St. Louis Blues come into the 2020-21 season with a new look for the top-six forward group. A couple of players come into the top-six, while a couple of them slip out. With the emergence of young players and a large addition, the top-six will have a different look to start the new season.
Previews and Predictions
With the pandemic altering all aspects of life, the 2020-21 NHL season has had to adapt as well. Part of the adjustment includes a division realignment, which has placed all Canadian teams in the North Division. These changes have also influenced the Stanley Cup Playoff format. Sixteen teams will still make the playoffs, but the
The shortened 2019-20 season and the unique format of the playoffs due to COVID-19 showed financial issues for all of the NHL’s 31 teams. Forbes recently ranked the Los Angeles Kings as the sixth most valuable NHL team, as one of only two teams that ranked within the Original Six. Even outside of COVID-19 related
With the 2020-21 season ahead of us, we will miss seeing some long-standing matchups, as play will be restricted to within the four new divisions. Some notable streaks that will end this season include the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins (who have played every season since the Bruins entered the league in 1924), as well
The Montreal Canadiens 2020-21 training camp is set to begin on Jan. 3. General manager Marc Bergevin was busy during the Christmas break adding veteran forwards with Stanley Cup experience in Michaell Frolik and Corey Perry.

It’s been nine long months and Anaheim Ducks fans will finally see their team take the ice in a couple of days (at least on TV and social media). We don’t yet know what the season will bring in terms of team success, but there are three significant milestones Ducks fans can also look forward
The new divisions for the 2020-21 NHL season will each feature their own “personality.” It’s easy to think of the North Division as “The Canadian Division,” but one could also call it the “Division of really long road trips.” The West Division might be called the “Division with only three good teams.” The East? Perhaps
The strange happenings of 2020 will continue in 2021, as the NHL has adopted a new regular season schedule for the first season to begin during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020-21 season will feature a strictly divisional schedule including double and triple-headers, and as a consequence, a whole lot of bad blood. This should be
We are now weeks away from NHL season openers, in which we’ll see the Detroit Red Wings host the Carolina Hurricanes on Jan. 14. We are also less than a week away from the Red Wings training camp, as they’ll look for up to 29 players (23 roster players, four to six taxi squad members)
When the NHL officially announced the new divisional alignments for the 2020-21 season, the Boston Bruins knew that there would be new challenges on their schedule. Gone for this season are the Tampa Bay Lightning, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, Florida Panthers, and Detroit Red Wings. The Bruins and Lightning have had their
The Vancouver Canucks face quite a few changes heading into the 2020-21 NHL season. These changes include those on their roster and to their division. The Canucks will be in the North Division, which means they will face off against the other Canadian teams during the 56-game season. The Canucks had an impressive run in
Some folks claim that one of the key’s to life is having things to look forward, too. Hockey fans now have some clarity, and plenty to look forward to as the NHL and the NHLPA have agreed on details for a 2020-21 season. A breakdown of each division can be seen below, but Detroit Red
In the upcoming 2020-21 season, the Calgary Flames must show that they are on track to contend for a Stanley Cup in the next few years. That means making it out of the Canadian division playoffs (assuming one is established) and on to at least the equivalent of a conference final in whatever playoff format
Defenseman Jamie Oleksiak has developed into one of the most valuable pieces within the Dallas Stars organization. Appearing in every regular-season and postseason game for Victory Green, including two game-winning goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, 2019-20 was nothing short of a breakout campaign for the former first-round pick in 2011. So much so, aside
With the newly proposed NHL divisional realignment, teams and fans will have to deal with facing a few new franchises regularly. Some of the matchups will be new, but others will reignite historic rivalries. As of this writing, the NHL is planning on playing every game in home arenas instead of hub cities. So, if
I was not expecting my Monday morning motivational tweet to come from HC Davos. But there it was for all Toronto Maple Leafs’ fans to see and celebrate. 👋🏼 Thank you and goodbye!Der Start in die @NHL-Saison rückt näher, Big Joe bekam gestern Abend den “Marschbefehl” der @MapleLeafs und verlässt in den nächsten Stunden die
There is arguably no team more dominant at the World Junior Championship (WJC) than Sweden. Since Dec. 26, 2006, they have strung together an incredible 51 wins in a row in the group stage, going undefeated. No one else is even close to that record; Canada is the next highest with 22 group-stage wins from
While the National Hockey League tries to salvage a successful 2021 season, the league is promoting a realignment of its current divisions. The realignment’s main purpose is to cut down travel for all teams, and, most notably, ceasing travel between the United States/Canada border. As both sides have their pandemic struggles, it is likely that
