Start time: 7:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM PST In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Oilers region: Sportsnet West Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+
The Edmonton Oilers have had one glaring weakness for several seasons, and that is goaltending. The team has made back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals despite the issues in net, ranking 11th of the 16 teams in the 2025 post-season with an overall save percentage of .871. The assumption ...
The first feeling I had when I heard Stuart Skinner was traded? Relief. I’ve said this before, but part of the reason I wanted a new Oilers starting goaltender (beyond his play) is that I was sick of talking about him and sick of the discussion surrounding him. The Skinner topic became exhausting. Every game…
The Philadelphia Flyers are back playing hockey once again. Less than 24 hours after hosting the Hurricanes, the Flyers are down visiting them in Carolina to start a four-game road trip. They battled hard the last time around but could they do that all over again against the top team in the Eastern Conference?

Tristan Jarry posted a .893 save percentage in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Saturday night. His Oilers debut went well — 25 saves on 28 shots, the team scored six goals, and Edmonton extended their point streak to five games. Now comes the question: Does he start again in Montreal? The Oilers are on…

The Minnesota Wild won the Quinn Hughes sweepstakes, but there were plenty of other suitors who were willing to give up a robust package to land the former Norris Trophy winner, the consensus second-best blueliner in the NHL. And then there are the Philadelphia Flyers . They did not stay in the bidding to the end. They dropped out, refusing to pay the price of either of their top two young players/prospects, as David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period tells us. The Flyers (are) a team that poked (a...
We can all agree with Craig Berube’s lamentation of his team’s lack of urgency to start the third period while down a goal in this game. The contest obviously ended inside the first two minutes of the final frame when the Leafs came out, played in their own end, punted pucks back to the Oilers […]

In Sam Hauser’s fifth year as a Boston Celtic, only Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Payton Pritchard have been with the team longer. He’s been an exceptional complementary piece and played a key role in Boston’s championship run. Hauser has typically found ways to expand his game, but on this new-look roster, he’s stagnated — […]
Ouch. The Montreal Canadiens looked like they were taking the dog for a walk early on against the New York Rangers. Ahead 3-0 and cruising…and then bad stuff happened. Before you knew, the Rangers were only down one at the intermission. The Habs restored the lead to 4-2 but then gagged that away, as well,…
If a divisional game is a four-point matchup, then back-to-back, home-and-home divisional games are worth eight points in the standings. This is certainly true when looking at the Metropolitan Division right now. All eight Metro teams were in action last night, and all but Columbus secured at least one point in the standings. The shootout […]

In case you missed the early morning news, the Arizona Diamondbacks have pulled off the rare “trade away your player and re-sign him in the offseason” move with Merrill Kelly.
Let’s start there today.
When the Diamondbacks traded Kelly to the Rangers this July, they landed Kohl Drake (#6 prospect in the D-Backs system), Mitch Bratt (#9), and David Hagaman (#15), a tidy sum for a 36-year-old rental starter. And now they get him back, albeit at a very substantial $20M per year for tw...
Prior to the win against the Florida Panthers earlier in the week, there was a special conversation between friends that aired ESPN. Erik Johnson, now an analyst with the network, visited Colorado Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog at his home for a one-on-one interview. The two covered a variety of topics including the Captain’s near three-year […]
Sheary scrutiny, Miller upheaval, a looming “reset,” and fresh questions about Braden Schneider—this week’s NHL media circuit had plenty to say about the Rangers.
The Vancouver Canucks made a couple more moves on Sunday, however, both of them were internal transactions. The Canucks announced they've placed Elias Pettersson on injured reserve, and they've also activated Marco Rossi ahead of their game against the New Jersey Devils. Pettersson hits the shelve thanks to an upper-body injury. General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Elias Pettersson has been placed on IR (retroactive to Dec. 5) and F Marco Rossi has been activated from IR. &mdas...
For however dead the 2026 MLB Winter Meetings felt, the days thereafter have seen some consistent activity. This morning, that begins ( per Ken Rosenthal ) with free agent starter Merrill Kelly re-upping with the Arizona Diamondbacks, with whom he spent 7.5 of his 8 big-league seasons.
