Michkov teaches Barkey how to score Michigan goal after Flyers practice

Matvei Michkov missed Tuesday’s game against Anaheim with an injured foot. But on Wednesday he took the optional skate with fellow Flyers winger Denver Barkey. And while the duo got some work and reps in, Michkov took it upon himself to teach Barkey how to execute a “Michigan.” The three-minute video clip, shot from just behind one of the nets, sees Barkey and Michkov taking a few shots each into the empty net. But about 15 seconds into the clip, Michkov attempts a “Michigan,” roofing the...

Maybe I’ll Catch Fire: Blackhawks vs. Blues Preview

Now with three straight wins in their back pocket, the Hawks are at the United Center once again to host the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night. Many of the issues plaguing the Blues when these two teams met one month ago in St. Louis remain. They have the worst offense in the league (dead last at 2.49 goals per game) and aren’t much better on defense (3.35 goals against per game, 27th in the league). The power play and penalty kill are ranked in the 20s along with their shot attempt shar...

Blackhawks vs Blues — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Yeah, it’s another late night national broadcast. And, yes, it’s two teams who are closer to the top of the draft lottery than the top of the standings. But the Blackhawks and Blues is always pure cinema, and tonight could be a fun one. St. Louis comes in having won their last two games. The Blackhawks are undefeated in 2026. Get the coffee (or whatever else you choose to drink during the game) ready because this is going to be a late night of rivalry hockey at the United Center! Bro...

Ducks’ multiple dirty hits on Flyers go unpunished

The Philadelphia Flyers took down the Anaheim Ducks inside a raucous arena in South Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring, but Trevor Zegras and the Flyers got the last laugh in a 5-2 win. Unfortunately, the Flyers didn’t come away from the game unscathed, with both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale leaving due to injury after a pair of questionable — at best — hits. The hit by Jansen Harkins on Brink may have been clean, but the shorter forward got hit up hi...

Oilers’ Ryan Nugent-Hopkins posts 500th assist of NHL career

One of the longest-standing members of the Edmonton Oilers has reached a significant milestone. On Tuesday night, in a game against the Nashville Predators, Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins registered the 500th assist of his NHL career, becoming just the sixth player to reach the mark as a member of the franchise. The helper came late…

Looking back at the Tampa Bay Lightning’s December performance

Sure, it’s a couple of days late, but we’ll just blame the post-holiday brain fog for the timing. As the Tampa Bay Lightning cool their heels for a couple of days, it’s not a bad time to take a look at how things went in a busy December. After righting their season with a blazing-hot November, things were a bit more…chaotic in December. The month started with four losses (not great). Then they found their offense for a couple of games (that’s good!). Next came a couple of losses, includin...

Why was Matthew Stafford so bad against the Panthers?

Some Panthers fans are citing Matthew Stafford’s three-turnover loss to Carolina as evidence that he should not win MVP. Do they have a point? Probably not — MVPs have bad games too — but it does bring up an important factor in Saturday’s wild card rematch on the same field between the Rams and Panthers: […]

6 Flyers call-up candidates to replace injured Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale

Despite the ultimate outcome, last night was a tough one for the Flyers. Coming away with a big win over a budding rival is a big positive, but with it came the loss of both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale to injury. Now, there’s no word just yet on the severity of these injuries or on whether they’ll mean that either of them will miss significant time. All we can say at the moment is that the initial impressions were not great, particularly with Drysdale, and it feels like an apt time to check...

Who’s ready for a Rams rematch?

For those of you who believe in fate, there was never a doubt the Carolina Panthers would be sitting where they are right now – that is, hosting a home playoff game for the first time in forever. After all, who can argue with such foolproof analytics based off of Jennifer Lopez’s marital status, the […]

Today In NHL History - FSN Hides Video Replay

On January 7th in 2010, FSN Pittsburgh producer Lowell MacDonald Jr. withheld a definitive replay from the NHL during a late second period Simon Gagne goal review. Absent the authoritative angle officials deemed the video evidence inconclusive and ruled no goal. After play resumed, prohibiting a reversal of the incorrect call, the angle was aired making clear that the Philadelphia Flyers should
