The Carolina Hurricanes will have to rely on their goaltending depth as goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov is undergoing surgery and is expected to be out for the season. The 26-year-old Russian netminder has appeared in just nine games this season, posting a 6-2-0 record, with a 2.33 goals against average and .899 save percentage. Kochetkov is owed $2 million AAV this season and next, and the Hurricanes will move ahead with the tandem of Frederik Andersen and one of the biggest stories of the season ...
“We played extremely well. There were moments in this game that I liked more than any game this season. The first 10 minutes were outstanding, and we got a two-goal lead… We got into some penalties, and they scored two power-play goals there. But I liked a lot of our game. [Vyacheslav] Peksa made some […] The post Marshall Rifai returns to game action, Toronto Marlies triumph over Utica in shootout appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Welcome to Monday Night Hockey, folks! Fresh off of a sound defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres, the Bruins begin their Western Canada swing with a stop in Calgary.

We haven't heard his name much at all on the rumor mill this year, but with the Chicago Blackhawks ' recent tumble to the bottom of the standings, Tyler Bertuzzi is now starting to make the rounds. Insider Elliotte Friedman suggested on The Fan Hockey Show on Monday that the Hawks could look to solidify themselves in the running for a top draft pick in 2026, by trading off a high-producing veteran. Chicago has lost six of their seven games since Connor Bedard went down to injury (and the...

The halfway mark approaches with haste
The Edmonton Oilers are getting healthier, and that means their depth, particularly at forward, has gotten deeper. But in direct inverse correlation with how healthy the team is getting, Andrew Mangiapane's role has gotten more and more 'unhealthy', playing-time-wise. Elliotte Friedman tells us on the 32 Thoughts podcast that that could mean that Mangiapane's days with the team are numbered. He says that a trade is beginning to sound good to both player and club. I do think both sides wo...
The Miami Hurricanes enter ACC play with a tidal wave of momentum. They are 11-2 and have recorded wins against Georgetown and Ole Miss on the road. They have beaten all the opponents they were expected to beat. Their two losses have come against No. 22 Florida and No. 10 BYU. Both defeats were competitive […]
If the Brooklyn Nets beat the Golden State Warriors Monday night, with or without Steph Curry flashing shots from half court or beyond, the Nets will have won eight games out of 10 in December and likely secured their reputation as one of the NBA’s best defensive teams. Going into the 7:30 p.m. ET contest […]
Bill Guerin looked exhausted but delighted after trading for Quinn Hughes in mid-December. A call to his old boss, Jim Rutherford, had resulted in an opportunity to land the NHL’s second-best defenseman. It was nearly a perfect trade. The Minnesota Wild needed a scoring boost, and Hughes break...
The Penguins have made a trade to add forward Yegor Chinakhov from Columbus for Danton Heinen and two future draft picks. Along with Heinen, the Penguins sent a 2026 second-round pick that originally belonged to the Blues and a 2027 third-round pick that originally belonged to the Capitals. The Penguins have built up a sizeable […]
Even though the Blackhawks played back-to-back days coming out of the Christmas break, they still practices on Monday. And… there was a lot going on. Some good news right out of the gate: Connor Bedard was on the ice before the rest of his teammates. He did not shoot the puck, but was skating and doing some puck handling stuff. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said there is no change to Bedard’s timeline; he’ll still be evaluated after the calendar flips to 2026. But he was on the ice ...
The Columbus Blue Jackets have granted forward Yegor Chinakhov's wish, trading him off the roster to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a 2026 second-round pick, 2027 third-round pick, and forward Danton Heinen.

Tonight, the Los Angeles Kings will step into Ball Arena, a place where no visiting team has won in regulation so far this season.

Although Alex Bregman is one of the most highly sought-after free agents this winter, his market has been fairly narrow and well-defined for a while now. And yet, lately, the specifics have begun to evolve. A few weeks ago, Bregman’s market was pretty unanimously boiled down to three teams: (1) The Cubs, who made him an offer last offseason, (2) the Tigers, who made him an offer last offseason, and (3) the incumbent Red Sox, who signed him last offseason. Today, that looks a little differ...
