The Blackhawks are (hopefully, knock on wood) over their illness situation and ready to skate a full, healthy game tonight against a Calgary Flames squad that comes in 7-16-2 on the road. They’re mentioned as sellers right now as frequently as the Blackhawks were the past few years. This is a good opportunity for the Hawks to pick up a game.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the United Center, hoping to get back in the win column as the flu bug that’s ripped through the locker room appears to be winding down.
This season has largely gone sideways for the Flames, who enter the midpoint of the year sitting 30th in the league by points percentage (.457) and looking every bit like a team stuck in neutral. On paper, they look mostly average — the Flames own 51.01 percent of shot attempts (12th in ...

Dear Mario Cristobal, Sigh… alright, here we go…. “I’m stupid; you’re smart. I was wrong; you were right. You’re the best; I’m the worst.

I know the New Jersey Devils most recent stretch has led to a lot of doom and gloom, both here and in other Devils-centric circles around the internet.

A nightmare has struck the city of Philadelphia. During the Flyers’ big and embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night, goaltender Dan Vladar suffered an injury and had to be pulled after the first period.
While the Flyers confirmed the swap to put Sam Ersson in was due to injury (and not for allowing two goals on five shots in 20 minutes), the true confirmation that Vladar is going to at least miss Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins came the morning after. Accor...

Entering their game on Thursday night, Pittsburgh Penguins rookie Ben Kindel will be riding a 14-game goal-less drought.

Mitchell sustained a concussion on the play forcing him to miss the remaining 105 days (46 games) of the Vancouver Canucks season and jeopardizing his off-season free agent value. Malkin, meanwhile, received

It was just one week ago, the Flyers were tied with Toronto heading into overtime. They had won three of their previous four games, and tried to take the second point in the extra session from the Maple Leafs. The overtime was highly entertaining, with Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier having golden chances to end it. However, they didn’t. The Leafs went back down the ice and scored to win the game. It didn’t seem like a huge deal. Philadelphia gained a point. Onto the Lightning.

A once-strength for the Philadelphia Flyers has become an area of weakness as the penalty kill continues to slip further and further towards league average.
The Flyers have stumbled out of the gate a bit to start the calendar year. Nearly every part of their game has struggled – from the power play to the goaltending – but one key area has quietly slipped under the radar: the penalty kill. Once a strength of John Tortorella’s Flyers, it has now silently fallen back toward league-average. ...
