Three goals in each period. Four goals at 5×5. Four power play goals. One shorthanded goal. Six different goal scorers. Nine goals in a game for only the third time in the last 20 seasons, and the Edmonton Oilers had a lot of smiles after their 9-4 victory over the Seattle Kraken last night. The…
The Carolina Panthers front office is busy throughout the season with transactions, roster moves, and injury updates. Here’s what’s happening at Mint Street this week. Injuries With the Panthers entering a bye week, there’s little to report on the injury front, which is a good thing. Guard Chandler Zavala (elbow) and running back Rico Dowdle (quad) didn’t […]
The Winnipeg Jets have returned home for a game against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night, before they get back on an airplane to fly to Alberta for a clash versus the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. Just a handful of games ago, the Sabres handed the Jets one of their most embarrassing losses in recent history…yet they didn’t manage to carry the momentum in their next game against the Philadelphia Flyers, limping away with a 5-2 loss. Winnipeg on the other hand, did get slightly better resu...
The Edmonton Oilers ' clear weakness is in net. This is a Stanley Cup caliber team with possibly the worst goaltending duo in the league. Something has to change and it is likely going to. While they don't want to make a lateral move, any move to move on from Calvin Pickard is an upgrade. Stuart Skinner, the Oilers' starter, has actually been solid the last few games. Giving him a partner who can compete for starts with him is the best option if it's affordable. Elliotte Freidman said, "There'...
It’s December now which means one massive thing in the hockey calendar: It’s the season for the World Juniors and we get to ignore a whole lot of our families and watch teenagers play hockey instead of singing carols, or something. The Philadelphia Flyers should be fairly well-represented and could even have the more prospects than any other NHL team up there in Minnesota, but that would take us looking at 31 other prospect pools and that’s annoying. It’s a mix of depth players on very go...

Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
The Vancouver Canucks are at the bottom of the NHL standings with 23 points and have four forwards, a defenseman, and their starting goalie all injured, plus more have spent time on the shelf. This has been a recipe for disaster since very early in the season and it is getting to the point where they could start making trades sooner rather than later. At the top of the trade list is Kiefer Sherwood, who has a very good cap hit of $1.5 million AAV, is in the second and final year of his deal be...
The Los Angeles Rams (9-3) will travel to Glendale in Week 14 to face the Arizona Cardinals (3-9) in an NFC West tilt. The Rams are coming off a Week 13 loss to the Carolina Panthers while the Cardinals lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to extend their losing streak to four games. It’s clear […]
It is a North American prospect update, and there were a few players in the Edmonton pipeline who have had strong outings recently. Paul Fischer has continued his point streak that has now reached five games, and his NCAA counterpart, Dalyn Wakely, netted his first career hat trick and continues to lead UMass Lowell in…

Just like that, the previously hapless Maple Leafs emerged from a tough five-game road trip with a 4-1-0 record while outscoring the opposition 16-4 in three straight wins, two of which came in Florida and Carolina. The last three wins have been really tough games to assess from an analytical point of view, given that […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs get more contributions from up and down the lineup in win over Carolina appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
While the standings in the NHL are very close in each conference, there are teams that have separated themselves in the wrong way. In the West, there are three in particular that had higher hopes and are at the point of gearing up to make moves. Chris Johnston said, "It goes Vancouver, Nashville, and Calgary in that order for most likely to start making some moves." These are the last three placed teams in the NHL at the moment. The Vancouver Canucks are in last place with a record of 10-14-3 ...
Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett has become something of a regular in trade rumors, and his recent run of strong play certainly hasn’t quelled the buzz. On the contrary, he’s become hot enough a name in the rumor mill that the Flyers are apparently attempting to throw cold water on any possibility of an imminent move. On the latest episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast , NHL insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that Tippett’s name has been floating in trade chatter and inferred th...
The Mets enter the Winter Meetings already having added a significant free agent in Devin Williams, and pulled off a swap of two veteran players when they received Marcus Semien from the Rangers in exchange for Brandon Nimmo. With a roster still very much in flux, there is plenty more to do, and the Winter […]
Ranger Suarez Rumors — I know there’s a whole lot of exciting Cubs/Alex Bregman talk out there lately , but don’t let that distract you from the publicly stated and more logical offseason objective: Pitching, pitching, and more pitching. Last we heard, the Cubs were in on Dylan Cease until his bidding approached $200 million, and that they remain involved in the markets for Michael King and Tatsuya Imai . We also learned that the Cubs can add upwards of $50 million to the 2026 payroll , w...
December is going to be a busy month for the Blackhawks’ prospects. NCAA and CHL games are heating up, but there will be players who leave their respective teams for camps to get ready for the World Junior Championship as soon as next week. It’s also worth noting again that Minnesota-Duluth goaltender Adam Gajan will play in the Spengler Cup on the college select team; that tournament overlaps with the World Juniors. Just this past weekend I updated our top 20 Blackhawks prospect rankings...
The New York Rangers suffered a big blow to their defense corps last week as Adam Fox was placed on LTIR with a left shoulder injury. He's expected to miss multiple weeks. That leaves the Blueshirts in a lurch on the blueline. They have a serious lack of puck-moving d-men, and in particular, they will be hurt on the power play. Insider Elliotte Friedman reported on his 32 Thoughts podcast that they are scouring the market for help in those areas, and seem to be zeroing in on ...
On December 5th in 2009, Philadelphia Flyers goon Daniel Carcillo sucker punched Matt Bradley of the Washington Capitals with five minutes remaining in the first period and the teams tied 1-1. Carcillo received 29 minutes in penalties on the play (Bradley drew nothing) with the NHL adding a four game suspension, forcing the Flyer to forgo $43,597 in pay. Washington scored three times on the
The Edmonton Oilers needed that. They really needed that. About everything that could’ve gone their way Thursday night did in their 9-4 walloping of the Seattle Kraken, as Connor McDavid notched his 13th career hat trick, four players posted three or more points, and many a milestone was hit. For McDavid, he’s faced some criticism all…
The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the UNC Tar Heels on Friday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Badgers cruised past the Eastern Illinois Panthers in the first round, winning 25-11, 25-6, 25-19 for an easy sweep at the Field House. That marked their tenth straight win, improving their record to 25-4 […]
The Nashville Predators are one of the key teams to watch in the coming weeks when it comes to trade activity. GM Barry Trotz is getting mighty impatient, as his explosive "I need (expletive) more from them!" rant proved late last month. Yes, they've won two in a row, but they're still one point out of dead last in the league. Steven Stamkos, two-time Stanley Cup winner and future Hall of Famer, has been a supreme disappointment since coming to Nashville. He's sitting on eight goals and 11 poi...

Gameweek 15 is fast approaching, and selecting the right captain could make all the difference in climbing the ranks. While many managers tend to rely on the same popular choices each week, this round offers a mix of premium, mid-priced, and differential options—each with strong potential to deliver big returns. Below are some of the […]
