We know that the Buffalo Sabres were knee-deep in Robert Thomas discussions with the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. That much has been confirmed. As has the fact that the idea of the Sabres landing Thomas has now been put to bed. Not happening. However, that doesn't mean that the Sabres and Blues are done talking. Several reports suggest that Buffalo is still eyeing a right-shot defenseman from St. Louis, and that just could be Colton Parayko. As others have reported, keep an eye on Buffalo...

The Winnipeg Jets are standing out as prime sellers for the 2026 NHL trade deadline. With the Jets being among the bottom teams in the NHL, it would not be surprising in the slightest if they move out some of their players ahead of the deadline. Luke Schenn is one of their top trade candidates due to his pending UFA status. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Schenn from Winnipeg. Buffalo Sabres The Sabres need another veteran right-shot defe...

Keep an eye on the Buffalo Sabres before Friday's trade deadline, as they'll be buying this season. The Sabres have finally turned the corner and appear headed for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and management is going to make a couple of upgrades to try and give the team the boost they need to make some noise. One team to watch - Philadelphia Flyers, and specifically, defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen. The Sabres want to add to the right side of their blueline, and a reunion with Ristolainen appears t...

The Florida Panthers (30-26-3) will open a key four-game road trip when they pay a visit to the New York Islanders (34-21-5) this evening at UBS Arena.
Florida is coming off a frustrating 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday in which they wasted a high-quality start from backup goalie Daniil Tarasov, who stopped 36 of 38 shots. Matthew Tkachuk scored his fifth of the season in the middle frame and Sam Bennett notched his 20th with 35 seconds remaining to pull the Cats within one, but ...

If losing to the team chasing them in the standings wasn’t bad enough, the Tampa Bay Lightning are also facing the possiblity that two more players on their roster may be injured. In their uninspired 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Gage Goncalves and Dominik James went to the locker room early. Goncalves was shaken up by hit along the boards in the second period and James had his leg twisted underneath (similar to the Brayden Point injury against Philadelphia) late in the third.

We first heard the rumor last week. The Florida Panthers, if they ultimately deem themselves out of the race before the trade deadline, could decide to trade their legendary goaltender , and pending unrestricted free agent, Sergei Bobrovsky. The Panthers lost to the Buffalo Sabres Friday night, dropping them back to eight points in arrears of a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. Their two-time Stanley Cup run is teetering on the brink... at best. Bob's future is in doubt, as ...

The Florida Panthers came up short in a tough 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at Amerant Bank Arena, missing out on needed points in the process.
A hooking penalty on A.J. Greer set the stage for the first Buffalo goal with 2:12 left in the first. Alex Tuch was given enough space to take a slick little backhand dish from Ryan McLeod and fire it above Daniil Tarasov’s right shoulder from the slot. The second assist went to defenseman Bo Byram.
Florida would need just six seconds to tak...

Down three centers to start the game, and with their lines in a bit of a blender, the Tampa Bay Lightning still found a way to pull two points out of a game as Darren Raddysh tied it at the death, and Nikita Kucherov found Jake Guentzel in open ice in overtime. Guentzel didn’t miss as he beat Colton Ellis through the five-hole to give the Lightning the 4-3 overtime victory.
The assist was Kucherov’s fourth point of the night as he had a goal and three assists to move to 90 points on the s...

The Florida Panthers blew a two-goal lead in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Monday night, the latest debacle in a season that's just been fraught with troubles right from the get-go. In fact, it started back in training camp when captain Aleksander Barkov suffered a torn ACL and MCL. Without him and Matthew Tkachuk for the first half of the year, the Panthers have had a dreadful season, and are now nine points back of a playoff berth, with four other teams to leapfrog as well.&nb...
