To end a four-game slate on the opening day of the 2026 World Juniors, Canada and Czechia hit the ice. Canada went into the tournament eager to make up for early exits in each of the last two tournaments, on both occasions coming out on the losing end versus the Czechs in the quarter-finals.
The pace was high to start the match, an indication of how important both nations felt the game was. The first advantage was earned by Canada on a hooking call to Vaclav Nestrasil.

It’s one thing for Yegor Zavragin to get run into or be hit during the ups and downs of a KHL season. But you often expect that to happen primarily in games, and sometimes in practice. However, it’s rare that a goalie who was a backup, sitting on the bench minding his own business, was leveled as badly as Zavragin was in a game Friday.
Zavragin, a third-round pick by Philadelphia in the 2023 NHL Draft, was the backup goalie for SKA St. Petersburg as SKA played against Dinamo Minsk. In the...

Czechia has proven to be the nemesis of Team Canada at the past two tournaments, ending Canada’s two-year reign at the quarter-final stage of the event in 2024, then getting the same result to begin the playoff round a year ago. While Canada has therefore been shut out of the medals the last couple of years, the Czechs have...
The Edmonton Oilers have a couple of things to take care of before the trade deadline. And one insider is suggesting that they're looking to make a big splash on defense. Reminiscent of what they did at the 2023 deadline. In March of that season, the Oilers brought in Mattias Ekholm, who completely transformed the Edmonton blueline, pairing up with—and unleashing—Evan Bouchard, while helping to lead the team to two straight Stanley Cup Finals. David Pagnotta feels they're loo...

If Marc-Andre Fleury wants to play NHL hockey this season, he'll have every opportunity to. Fleury's name has been making the rounds of late, and there's been multiple reports stating he's been contacted about making a comeback for numerous teams. Fleury, 41, signed a one-week contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins before this season started, and had himself a great week 'retiring' as a Penguin, which included playing in one preseason game. It gave Fleury one last chance to play alongside Sidne...
The Nashville Predators are going to be entering sell mode, where the Montreal Canadiens will be buying all day long, and these two teams have been linked to a trade by one of the biggest hockey insiders in the game. The Athletic's Chris Johnston sees the Canadiens as a perfect landing spot for Predators' veteran forward Jonathan Marchessault. The 34-year-old winger has three seasons left on his contract at $5.5 million AAV, and owns a full no-movement clause. This is a move that would c...
The Toronto Maple Leafs didn't take long to replace Marc Savard on their bench, as the team announced they've promoted Steve Sullivan to assistant coach. Sullivan joins the Leafs bench from the AHL's Toronto Marlies. He'll replace Savard, who was running the power play, which was ranked last in the entire NHL at just over 13% efficiency. Once Savard was let go on December 22, Brad Treliving made it clear the team wasn't hiring anyone externally, and that's exactly the case as Sullivan gets pro...
