The Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars are two of the top teams in the NHL and just so happen to have more than enough cap space to spend on making at least one big upgrade by the trade deadline this season to increase their chances at winning the Stanley Cup. The Hurricanes have over $15 million in cap space and are dealing with some injuries, so they could realistically look to bring in someone at each position. They have enough assets including draft picks and prospects. The Stars lost Ty...
It was just over a year ago, and Sam Ersson was feeling some national pride knowing he’d be on the Swedish roster when the 4 Nations Face-Off took place in mid-February. In the three games leading up to the National Hockey League break for the international tournament, Ersson, the then Flyers starting goaltender, laid claim to three consecutive games where he had over a .900 save percentage. He lost a 2-0 decision to Colorado, making 30 of 32 stops. The following game, Ersson was sensational, ...
After Monday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed his many injury situations, the team’s play over the last 10 games, Nick Robertson and Bobby McMann’s seasons to date, and Auston Matthews catching fire offensively. Can you update us on all of your injury situations? Berube: All of them!? Sure, and then I am done after that: Jake […]
The post Craig Berube on the recent play of Auston Matthews & his line: “He has really stepped it up… The speed on the line has really helped Auston” appeared fir...
Since the moment he returned to Coral Gables to be the Miami Hurricanes’ head coach, Mario Cristobal has been clear that the foundation of this program needed to be rebuilt. This was not a coat of paint and new light fixtures kind of freshening up; this was a “tear it down to the foundation and […]
Sidney Crosby has been named the NHL’s second star of the week after scoring 4 goals and 4 assists for the Penguins in 4 games — all wins for Pittsburgh. Crosby was joined on the NHL’s stars of the week list with Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov (3 goals and 7 assists in 3 games) and […]
Danny Briere has done it again — and it’s only slightly tongue-in-cheek.
The Philadelphia Flyers acquired former first-round pick Philip Tomasino from the Pittsburgh Penguins last week for disgruntled defenseman Egor Zamula. Zamula had fallen out of favor in Philadelphia under Rick Tocchet and changed his representation in an attempt to facilitate a contract termination.
Briere and the Flyers didn’t give in to Zamula’s demands, though, insisting that they would be able to trade the d...
The Pittsburgh Penguins clearly didn't do their research on Yegor Zamula as once the team acquired him in a one-for-one swap with the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Philip Tomasino, Zamula failed to report to the AHL and his contract is being terminated. Egor Zamula (PIT) is on unconditional waivers for a contract termination -- he'll become an unrestricted free agent tomorrow if unclaimed, and has multiple interested NHL suitors — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) January 5, 2026 Zamula fi...
The Carolina Panthers earned the dubious honor of being the only team in NFL history to enter the playoffs with a losing record more than once. Of the five teams to have earned a playoff berth while sub .500, the Panthers are two of them. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are another, for the record, which […]
After a week and change jam packed with action, the day has finally arrived — four teams will be facing off for medals to cap off the 2026 World Junior Championships in Minnesota. It’s been a wild tournament, with drama and upsets and exciting performances unfolding all over the place, and we can only hope to see the same intensity carried into this finale. And what’s more, as the national teams race for the tournament’s top honor, we’ll see plenty of Flyers prospects at work in that mix, repr...
It was a great week for the Bakersfield Condors as they have now found themselves winners of three straight games and start the new year off undefeated. It was also a test for the depth in Bakersfield as their two top guns, Quinn Hutson and Isaac Howard, got recalled on January 2nd, but before that,…
The St. Louis Blues have signed Alexey Toropchenko to a two-year deal at $2.5 million AAV. The Blues are expecting to go through a number of changes, so this signing appears to allow the team to keep one of their pieces around. 2 x $2.5M https://t.co/M0vfNkW8kX — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) January 5, 2026 Toropchenko is a 26-year-old winger who was on a one-year $1.7 million AAV deal. He plays around 12.5 minutes per game in the bottom-6 of the Blues and the big forward plays some ...
Officially at the Halfway Point of the Season: Sens Chasing the Wings
The Flyers host the Anaheim Ducks play Tuesday night, which means everyone’s favorite guy to hate, Cutter Gauthier, is back in Philadelphia.
As has been much discussed over the last few years, Gauthier was traded out of Philadelphia two years ago for Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second round selection (Jack Murtagh). In that trade, the Flyers sent a disgruntled Gauthier to Anaheim, losing one of their two best prospects for a defenseman that had struggled in his early showings in the NHL.

Coming into the season, one of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest perceived strengths was their defensive core. Edmonton’s depth on the back end was a huge reason why they got to a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final last spring. The ability to play Jake Walman in softer matchups gave their bottom six a puck-moving edge that…
The Oilers have completely turned around their season from the previous calendar year. They’re sitting in a good spot right now, 6-4-0 in their last 10 and having lost only four games all season at home in Rogers Place. Most importantly, they’re leading the division, albeit only by a single point, as Vegas and Anaheim…
The 2025 season is finally over for the New York Jets. It was one of the ugliest seasons in an ugly era for the franchise. The team made history for the wrong reasons in many ways. To start with, the team became the first since records were first kept in 1933 to go a full […]
The Ottawa Senators are getting calls, and it sounds like other teams are trying to pry open the one door Ottawa refuses to touch. As trade chatter picks up, league interest has reportedly centered on prospects Carter Yakemchuk and Logan Hensler, according to Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch , but the message from Senators GM Steve Staios has been consistent so far: thanks, but no thanks. Yakemchuk Hensler trade talks are hitting Ottawa’s hard line Teams have been asking about Yakemchuk...
The team hits the ice for practice trying to get back on track having gone winless in nine.
The Las Vegas Raiders managed to get their first win in about three months (and are undefeated in 2026) while securing the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft. Week 18 was kind to the Raiders, and let’s check in on how it treated a few old friends: Tre’von Moehrig, Jakobi Meyers and […]
Well, that’s it, folks. Seventeen games. Eighteen weeks. And somehow, a season that still leaves more questions than answers. How were the Falcons able to go toe-to-toe with teams like the New England Patriots, beat the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills, yet stumble against squads like the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets? Why […]
Hear from the Jets GM as he reflects on the first half of the season and looks ahead for his club.
On January 5th in 2008, Philadelphia Flyers forward Steve Downie sucker-punched the Maple Leafs' Jason Blake as the pair were being restrained by officials following early third period fisticuffs.
Already famous for a vicious preseason headshot on Ottawa's Dean McAmmond, earning him a 20 game suspension and criticism from players league-wide (including Blake), the reckless rookie renewed his
On January 5th in 2011, Tampa Bay Lightning sniper Steven Stamkos lost an edge during a penalty shot attempt against Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins and failed to put the puck on net down 5-0 early in the second period.
The miscue comes only six days after the 2010 Rocket Richard co-winner was awarded his first NHL penalty shot which he converted with a nifty spin-o-rama move against
