The Edmonton Oilers may have figured out their ideal lines ahead of the 2026 trade deadline. After Adam Henrique went down with an injury on January 6th, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch put together a makeshift third line of Isaac Howard, Jack Roslovic, and Matthew Savoie. In that time, the Oilers have also seemingly figured…
Sam Ersson has had a bad year.
When the Philadelphia Flyers brought in Dan Vladar as a free agent last summer, the plan was to have them split the net and ride the hot hand. That hasn’t worked out, as the newcomer has played beyond even the most optimistic of expectations and taken the lion’s share of the crease.
It was up for debate if the below average save percentages over the years were a product of the team’s defensive structure, but Sam Ersson’s numbers have remained among the ...
The Chicago Blackhawks have a slew of pending unrestricted free agents on their roster (six, to be exact), and we can expect to see them sell off a number of them. But not all. The list looks like this: Nick Foligno Jason Dickinson Ilya Mikheyev Connor Murphy Sam Lafferty Matt Grzelcyk "There's interest in these players, and there are teams interested to find out who's available," said insider David Pagnotta on the DFO Rundown . He says at least one of those names is more likely to ...

When was the last time we could say that the Edmonton Oilers have goaltending depth to trade from? That seems to be the case right now, as Connor Ingram has impressed the team with his work since coming up in late December, and Tristan Jarry has returned to the crease as well after missing several weeks. They also have a smoking-hot prospect tearing it up at the AHL level. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Flyers could be in a bind between the pipes. Dan Vladar has been excellent as the No...

The San Jose Sharks are on the road and hoping to shake off those demons from another failed attempt to beat the Vegas Golden Knights. San Jose can prove that it has what it takes to compete in the playoffs by taking on another playoff contender today, the Washington Capitals. The last time these two teams met, the Sharks didn’t fare well. The Capitals beat up on the Sharks, dominating San Jose 7-1 on Dec. 3. A 4-0 first period by the Capitals ended the game before it truly got started. The Sh...

Ten days ago, Liverpool drew Fulham 2-2 with Florian Wirtz scoring their first goal. The goal was ruled onside using semi-automated offside technology. For Liverpool fans, that was the end of it. For Fulham and some in the broader football media landscape, it was a controversy. It was a controversy because it was a very […]
And just like that, the Flyers’ brief road trip is already coming to a close. After a tough outing last night in Buffalo, the Flyers are heading into Pittsburgh hoping against all hope that they can find a way to turn a corner and stop their losing streak from stretching to five games. Desperation is mounting, and the Flyers need now more than ever to find a way to get things breaking their way again.

The NHL's trade market is heating up in the middle of January, as several teams have a pretty good sense where they stand as a buyer or a seller. Several general managers are busy trying to make changes to their roster and it's expected we'll see a flurry of trades before the Olympic roster freeze in February. Right now, the biggest name on the market appears to be New Jersey Devils' defenceman Dougie Hamilton, who was recently scratched by the Devils, and is involved in several different trad...
The New York Rangers may have hit rock bottom with that ugly 10-2 loss to the Boston Bruins last weekend, but they haven't been able to stop the bleeding yet. They're now winless in five straight, and have just one win in their last nine. They're edging closer and closer to official "SELL" territory (if they aren't there already). The biggest name, of course, that GM Chris Drury could move, is pending unrestricted free agent—and Rangers top scorer—Artemi Panarin. It doesn't appear as if ...
Mitch Marner is enjoying the new chapter of his life as a Vegas Golden Knight, but it's hard not to think about all the wonderful, and stressful memories that came from his tenure as a Toronto Maple Leaf. On Thursday night in Vegas, Marner will suit up against a bunch of his former teammates for the very first time. Marner met with the media ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, and admitted while he's uber excited to see how he does against his old bestie Auston Matthews, there's going to ...
Happy Thursday! The Bruins will look for a better outcome tonight than the last time they saw the Kraken.

The NHL may not have an All-Star Game this year due to the 2026 Olympics, but the AHL All-Star Classic will go on, showcasing the top talent in the minors.

The Phantoms announced on Thursday afternoon that winger Denver Barkey will represent the team at the 2026 AHL All-Star Classic.
All BARK. All bite. ...
Ahead of Thursday’s game in Las Vegas, Craig Berube discussed facing off against Mitch Marner for the first time since Marner joined the Golden Knights and the keys to getting back to winning ways after a tough night in Utah.

Just minutes into last night’s game, Jalen Brunson went crashing down with a right ankle injury. The Knicks’ hopes of beating the Kings went down with him. Sacramento, sitting at a lowly 10-30, had their way with New York the rest of the way. Their first-quarter double digit lead remained that large for just about […]

The Islanders’ road train is in Alberta for the end of the week, with a meeting vs. the Oilers in Edmonton on the docket. The goalie matchup looks like Ilya Sorokin opposite Connor Ingram.
