The Edmonton Oilers have inserted Andrew Mangiapane back into the lineup for the last couple of games, and he still doesn't exactly seem to fit in. The third line of Jack Roslovic, Matt Savoie, and Isaac Howard was more exciting and had better chances. With that being said, the Oilers might be trying to get Mangiapane going to get something in return in a trade, but that isn't needed. There has been rumored interest in Mangiapane, as he is a middle-6 winger who can score and has a nasty side. ...
With the Buffalo Sabres 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers last night, the Florida Panthers now find themselves three points out of a playoff spot. The Sabres climbed into the first wild card while the idle Boston Bruins slipped into the second. Both teams have 54 points, with Buffalo having played two fewer games. The Cats also have two games in hand on the Bruins, who will host the Seattle Kraken tonight at TD Garden. After routing the Springfield Thunderbirds 8-2 on Tuesday, the Char...

The Carolina Panthers shocked many around the NFL in making their first playoff appearance since 2017 this season. Despite a great showing at home in front of legends like Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Steve Smith, and Jake Delhomme, the Panthers ultimately lost and their season has ended. After taking some time to reflect on this […]
After a slow start to the season following the departure of Mitch Marner, the Toronto Maple Leafs have started to kick their season into gear. With Auston Matthews finally beginning to hit his stride and Craig Berube once again whipping a team into shape as they enter the second half, just like he did in St. Louis, things are now looking positive for a team who was in major flux just a month prior. And a lot of that success has come off the back of their elite goaltending. The tande...
The Minnesota Wild suffered a little bit of a disheartening defeat against the New Jersey Devils, but now get the chance to reverse it against a massively underperforming Winnipeg Jets team Thursday. Somehow, the Wild have already faced this Jets team three times this season and in the middle o...

Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes
Calgary’s trade board is getting louder again, and insider Elliotte Friedman says the Nazem Kadri noise is still just noise, but Blake Coleman has legitimate traction around the league. On the 32 Thoughts podcast, Friedman said he has “nothing to add” on Kadri, while adding that there’s “a lot of interest” in Coleman, even if Coleman himself would be fine staying put in Calgary. Friedman’s read on Coleman interest Coleman’s name keeps coming up because he checks every contender box: ...
Barcelona forward Raphinha has reportedly been playing through the pain barrier in recent weeks for Hansi Flick’s side. According to Catalunya Radio, the Brazilian was initially a doubt for Sunday’s Super Cup final against Real Madrid due to a thigh issue but was eventually passed fit to play and scored twice in a 3-2 win. […]
The Knicks of New York (25*-15) now have a road record of 8-11. On the bright side, there’s one game left on their current trip. Tonight, they took on the Sacramento Kings (11-30), cellar dwellers of the West. Although Sac Town came into the contest having won two straight, we expected this to be a […]
Philadelphia Flyers goaltending has officially reached a tipping point, and Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff reports the club is now considering trade market alternatives if Samuel Ersson’s slide keeps costing them points. Ersson’s numbers have been rough over a two year sample, and this season has dipped to an .858 save percentage with a 3.33 goals against average. With the Flyers sitting in the thick of the playoff race, they cannot afford many more nights where the margin disap...
A tough week on the road for the Rocket ended in a split in New York with a star-making performance on Friday night for Kaapo Kähkönen in a win in Rochester. That was followed up by a disappointing loss in Syracuse where the Rocket were unable to hold on to a two-goal lead against the Crunch. The split left the Rocket just four points up in the AHL’s North Division, and with a game against the Belleville Senators on Wednesday night. To the surprise of no one it was Kähkönen in net again f...
*Yikes, folks. Things are looking pretty ugly at the moment. Real ugly. Last night’s game was a doozy. RECAP ! *You may have noticed that we got a guy back last night! And as a result, before the game, Ricky Taco went berzerk on the lines. [ BSH ] *You may have also noticed that Denver Barkey was a healthy scratch. After that news came out, Tocchet explained himself. [ BSH ] *It’s great the team is getting healthy again, but the boys have a lot of things to try and figure out on...
The Knicks lost. The Kings won. I don’t even think I want to mention Jalen Brunson here. Mike Brown On the loss to the Kings: “We didn’t respond. We didn’t respond at all. I got to give the Kings credit because they took it to us. And we didn’t respond in any way, shape or […]
Over the course of their three game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Penguins have registered just two goals as the offense has suddenly gone dry. While the goaltending and defense have been stellar over the same stretch, it’s going to be hard to win any games when the goal scoring completely evaporates the way it has […]

Yakov Trenin and Marcus Foligno have brought back an edge to the Minnesota Wild, and they have made life much easier for their linemates. Their physicality doesn’t just fire up the crowd or pad the hit totals. It literally opens up ice, widens lanes, and buys time for Minnesota’s skill to take over....
