Lightning back to winning ways with 4-1 victory over Stars

Andrei Vasilevskiy earned first star of the game honors with a 19-save effort, highlighted by stoning Jason Robertson on a breakaway in the waning seconds of the first period with the score tied at one. It was a bit of an auspici...

NHL Rumor: Steven Stamkos Heads to Devils in Proposed Trade

  The Nashville Predators have turned things around after another horrible start to the season; they're only one point out of a Wild Card spot heading into Saturday's play. But GM Barry Trotz is aware that his team isn't quite a serious contender, and is still considering his options.  One of his biggest trade chips, under the right circumstances, is Steven Stamkos. Like the team itself, Stamkos has had a huge resurgence over the past couple of months. 17 goals and 28 points in his l...

Lightning’s win streak ends in shootout loss to Blues, 3-2

If nothing else, tonight’s loss by the Tampa Bay Lightning is a perfect example of why it’s so hard to string long winning streaks together in the NHL. Despite statistically dominating the St. Louis Blues for most of the night, the Lightning saw their eleven-game winning streak come to a halt as they fell in a shootout, 3-2. It’s not often a team puts up a heat map like that and ends up on the losing side. Yet, that’s what happened as the Lightning ran into a hot goaltender in Joel H...

Lightning Likely Going To Circle Back On Trade Target From Flames

The Tampa Bay Lightning may not have had the best start to the season, but they have proven themselves to be a powerhouse just past the halfway point in the season. As a top team in the Eastern Conference, they are going to be making additions and could go after someone they traded for at the trade deadline a number of years ago. Chris Johnston said, "Would it at all be surprising...just knowing the way the Lightning operate, if they circle back on a guy like Blake Coleman?" Unless the Calgary...

How Flyers could easily go on another 10-game losing streak

It was just one week ago, the Flyers were tied with Toronto heading into overtime. They had won three of their previous four games, and tried to take the second point in the extra session from the Maple Leafs. The overtime was highly entertaining, with Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier having golden chances to end it. However, they didn’t. The Leafs went back down the ice and scored to win the game. It didn’t seem like a huge deal. Philadelphia gained a point. Onto the Lightning. Well, we...

3 options for the Flyers to fix their Sam Ersson problem

On Saturday night, against the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning, the Philadelphia Flyers aspired to take two points. Or at least get a loser point from the formidable foe. They were playing them again on Monday night for an oddly slated two-game miniseries with both games at Xfinity Mobile Arena. But after giving up the first goal to a wide-open Nikita Kucherov less than two minutes in, Philadelphia’s Garnet Hathaway’s first of the year tied things up. After that, Ersson should’ve settled down. Sho...

The power play scored twice in the 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Yet, one play casts a lengthy shadow over the win. On his power play goal early in the second period, Brayden Point had...
