Nathan MacKinnon scored twice and added an assist to pad his lead atop the NHL scoring race as the Colorado Avalanche earned a 5-3 win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night at Climate Pledge Arena. Brock Nelson stayed hot with another goal, giving him four in his last five games. Artturi Lehkonen also found […]
All at once, this was a vital two points, a very fitting final four minutes to the Joe Bowen tribute game, and a not-at-all-reassuring performance by the Maple Leafs overall. This was the actual reality of this performance for the vast majority of the game: Irrelevant if they come back in this game, too. That […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs pull one out of the fire, win the Bowen game vs. Bedard-less Blackhawks appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Chicago Blackhawks squandered a two-goal lead, allowing three unanswered goals in the final 10 minutes — including two of them just eight seconds apart — to fall 3–2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday in Canada. The Blackhawks opened the scoring midway through the first period. After Dominic Toninato won a faceoff, Wyatt Kaiser picked up the puck, skated in, and beat Joseph Woll with a slick wrister from the high slot to give the Blackhawks a 1–0 lead. admin stands corrected, ...
It is weird to think that the Philadelphia Flyers have gone through their entire season up until now with a massive glaring hole on their blue line, but they have. Rasmus Ristolainen has been out with an injury dating all the way back until the end of last season and finally managed to return to the ice Tuesday night in Montreal as the Flyers took on the Canadiens. The overall consensus has been that Ristolainen is a solid player but it’s not detrimental to have him in the lineup, like it...
The Flyers made it to the next stop on their road trip, heading up to Montreal for their second matchup of the season against the Canadiens, and were able to take a 2-0 lead in the season series, and stop their winless streak at three games, as they delivered a solid showing just about from top to bottom and cruised to a 4-1 win over the Habs. The Basics First period: 19:00- Alexandre Texier (Evans, Anderson). 19:39- Carl Grunstrom (Tippett, Couturier) Second period: 6:26- Trevor Zeg...
A two-goal night from Morgan Geekie helped the Boston Bruins rebound from a slow start and gain control of the game to defeat the Utah Mammoth, 4-1, at the TD Garden on Tuesday night. The Bruins have now won five of their last six games. Pastrnak assisted on both of Geekie’s goals while Jeremy Swayman […]
It’s always a blast when the Edmonton Oilers play the Pittsburgh Penguins. On Tuesday evening, the Oilers played the third of five games on this road trip, defeating the Penguins 6-4 to move to 16-12-6 and into the third spot in the Pacific Division. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one!…
The Saint Thomas Tommies (6-6) will look to build on a five-game winning streak when they host the Northern Iowa Panthers (4-6) on December 21, 2025 at Lee & Penny Anderson Arena. St. Thomas vs. Northern Iowa NCAA Game Info Date: Sunday, December 21, 2025 Time: 3 p.m. ET TV: Summit League Network Venue: Lee & Penny Anderson Arena Last Game For Each Team St. Thomas beat Drake 70-50 in its last game.

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 15-12-5. On the team’s start to the game: Actually, the first part of the first period wasn’t a terrible start. It was actually a good start to the game. We gave up a shorthanded […] The post Craig Berube on the Leafs’ comeback win over Chicago: “Great to see the battle back… I thought our top line was really good” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Pregame Lotsa change for the Penguins, Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak make dual debuts against their former club, Danton Heinen slots in for Ville Koivunen up front. There’s also a Jack St. Ivany sighting for his NHL season debut after an early injury and first game in the big league in over a year. The […]
After two games against Detroit where the Isles piled on the goals, the Red Wings got their revenge in a tight matchup. Some ill-timed penalties helped the Red Wings get back in the game after an early Islanders goal in the first period. The Isles struggled overall tonight, and if not for Ilya Sorokin continuing […]
Hollywood can learn a thing or two from the NHL's scriptwriters these days. We got a must-see matchup of Tristan Jarry and the Edmonton Oilers vs. Stuart Skinner and the Pittsburgh Penguin s, just days after they were traded for each other. And of course, it was Connor McDavid who stole the show with a spectacular goal against his old teammate. Gotta be tough for Skinner. Back to back cup appearances with this team, then you blink and you’re playing AGAINST McDavid and he’s skating 17,00...
The Portland Trail Blazers hit the practice floor in Tualatin on Tuesday with two days of preparation before they host the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. Interim coach Tiago Splitter said the team’s 136-131 win against the Golden State Warriors over the weekend gave the group a nice morale boost, but the message at practice […]
Despite heavy zone time and another standout effort from Jonathan Quick, the Rangers were shut out at home in a frustrating 3–0 loss to Vancouver.
I’m not sure about these defence pairings Martin St-Louis has come up with, but I suppose we’ll have to see how they do. First period Jayden Struble gets caught up ice on the first shift, and Fowler has already had to face one transition rush. Cole Caufield is given about one-third of the offensive zone all to himself, but Dan Vladar saves the situation. The checking is tight right now. It’s like watching five fencing matches taking place at once. Adam Engström is ...
GM Jim Nill and the Dallas Stars have never been ones to be outdone in the trade market. If they want something, they usually go out and get it. The blockbuster Mikko Rantanen addition at last year's deadline is a prime example of that. Now, after watching division rival Minnesota Wild make their bold big splash of acquiring Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks, insider Jeff Marek suggested on Daily Faceoff's DFO Rundown that Nill will respond with a big move of his own. He mentions t...
The Edmonton Oilers are down a man against the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the second period Tuesday night, forward Curtis Lazar got tied up with Penguins defenceman Jack St. Ivany and fell into the boards, colliding with former teammate Brett Kulak in the process. Lazar then needed assistance getting off the ice, and did not return…
The Colorado Avalanche are all set for a matchup with the Seattle Kraken tonight at Climate Pledge Arena. Colorado comes in as most pundits pick for the best team in the league; meanwhile, the Kraken are struggling to get back to just being a .500 team. Can the Avalanche assert themselves and take care of […]
I'll never turn down an opportunity to watch a Spengler Cup game since the teams that play at that tournament always have players that I had forgotten were still playing. That's not to say that I didn't expect them to be playing, but statistics and results from the Swiss National League aren't posted on SportsCentre. The Spengler Cup always features the host HC Davos team who always seems to have a former NHL player on their roster, but the Fribourg-Gottéron team that is joining them as the se...
Leon Draisaitl has officially hit 1000 career points. The point came against Draisaitl’s former goaltender in Stuart Skinner, as the Edmonton Oilers faced off against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night. It came early in the game and on the power play, in fitting fashion, as Draisaitl picked up a secondary assist on a Zach Hyman…
Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Oilers’ Tuesday’s matchup vs. the Penguins, Tristan Jarry vs. Stuart Skinner, Baggedmilk’s Trivia, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday…
The San Jose Sharks are back home after a road trip that started out bumpy, but ultimately ended successfully with a winning record. San Jose will have to bring that momentum into SAP Center tonight against the Calgary Flames. The Flames are on a short, two-game road trip on the West Coast. Calgary beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 in overtime on Saturday thanks to Dustin Wolf, who stopped 21 of 22 shots. Wolf is back on track after a tough start to the season. He now has a 10-12-2 record wi...
