Oilers & Jets Emerging As Trade Partners

The Winnipeg Jets are in the throes of an ugly eight-game losing streak, plunging them to the very bottom of the Western Conference standings. This, from a team that won the Presidents' Trophy last season with the best record in the NHL. But if they're not ready to throw in the towel, there are some things the Jets could look to fix. Like the desperate need for some scoring—any kind of scoring—outside of their top line.  The Edmonton Oilers happen to have a guy like that who has fallen ou...

Flames Trade Candidate Blake Coleman Linked to Familiar Destination

The Blake Coleman rumors have been ramping up around the National Hockey League for several weeks now. While the Calgary Flames have cooled down some of the trade talk with a nice run to get back to .500 and within striking distance of a Wild Card spot, hockey insiders are still speculating on where some of their top trade candidates could be headed. And while Nazem Kadri and Rasmus Andersson get most of the ink, Coleman is quite the wanted man in trade circles, coming with a much less onerous...

First things first: The Buffalo Sabres aren't trading anyone coming off the highs of their just completed 10-game winning streak. But...

Denver Barkey scores first career goal to open scoring in Edmonton

Denver Barkey is on the board. The Philadelphia Flyers rookie has provided some energy and solid two-way play in his short time in the NHL, but he only had two assists — both recorded in his debut at Madison Square Garden — to show for it. That changed on Saturday afternoon in Edmonton. After some early pressure by the Oilers, it was Barkey who settled things down and opened the scoring in Edmonton. The 20-year-old winger started the breakout in his own end and dashed down the c...
