Craig Berube on the Leafs’ frustrating OT loss in Vegas: “We can’t give up that 2-on-1 in the third, and there is no need for that penalty, either”

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 6-5 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 23-16-8. On where the game got away from the team after holding a two-goal lead multiple times: Just a couple of mistakes in the third. We gave up a 2-on-1. We took […] The post Craig Berube on the Leafs’ frustrating OT loss in Vegas: “We can’t give up that 2-on-1 in the third, and there is no need for that penalty, either” appeared first on Maple Leafs Ho...

Blackhawks 1, Flames 3 — Three Stars, Key Takeaways

If you bet the over tonight, the first 3:14 of the game probably had you feeling pretty good. The Blackhawks grabbed an early lead, only to see Calgary answer with a power play goal 36 seconds later. Unfortunately, less than three minutes later the Flames scored another special teams goal — this time, a short-handed goal from their captain, Mikael Backlund. Calgary took a 2-1 lead to the room after 20 minutes. The parade to the penalty boxes continued in the second period. After 40 minute...

The Portuguese Pistol makes it back up to the number two spot in the countdown based on a strong finish to his season. After a slow start to the 2025-26 season, it appears Gage Goncalves is starting to get back to that type of production. Name Gage Goncalves Position Forward Age (as of October 1, 2025) 24 Height/Weight 6’1″, 190 lb.

Canadiens @ Sabres Top Six Minutes: Tage Thompson bullies the Habs in Buffalo

First period Jacob Fowler is called upon to make a save on a cross-crease pass just seconds into the game. Montreal is just trying to survive the early push from the Sabres with a couple of icings. Other than that initial chance, nothing has tested Fowler so far. The Sabres don’t give up much this season, but they just got too aggressive on their offensive-zone pinches and allowed a two-on-one for Cole Caufield and Alexandre Texier. Caufield kept the puck to get a shot himself...

Takeaways: Barkey shines, Michkov fights, but Flyers fall flat in 6-3 loss to Penguins

The basics First period: 2:16- Justin Brazeau (Ben Kindel, Anthony Mantha) (PPG), 12:25- Bryan Rust (Kris Letang, Sidney Crosby) (PPG) Second period: 1:16- Egor Chinakhov (Evgeni Malkin, Tommy Novak), 2:17- Rodrigo Abols (Cam York, Carl Grunds...

Flyers’ Matvei Michkov shockingly defends teammate with first NHL fight

While the Philadelphia Flyers were getting embarrassed in Pittsburgh, Matvei Michkov stepped up to show some fight — literally. Michkov has been more active in scrums recently and nearly got his first career fight on Wednesday night against Peyton Krebs, but the referees broke it up. He’s been itching to drop the gloves, and he didn’t let the opportunity pass him by on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. Blake Lizotte lined up Denver Barkey with a hit in the neutral zone, and Michkov chase...

Sam Ersson might have played his last game as a Flyer

The Philadelphia Flyers are in goaltending hell right now. Dan Vladar left Wednesday night’s loss in Buffalo after just one period due to an injury — early reports appear to be good, at least — and Sam Ersson hasn’t had the confidence of an NHL goalie in recent games. Aleksei Kolosov was recalled on Thursday afternoon, but didn’t get the start even after Ersson allowed two goals on eight shots the night before in Buffalo. Rick Tocchet once again gave Ersson a nod, in what might have ...

The most positive aspect of Rams’ wildcard win

Buried in the Los Angeles Rams’ playoff win over the Carolina Panthers is one of the more positive developments for Sean McVay’s team: they possibly solved their recent tackling issue. At risk of sounding like a broken record, I have spent the last month documenting the Rams’ challenges in bringing ball carriers down: Dec 30: […]

The Oilers have to stop tinkering with their bottom-six

The Edmonton Oilers may have figured out their ideal lines ahead of the 2026 trade deadline. After Adam Henrique went down with an injury on January 6th, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch put together a makeshift third line of Isaac Howard, Jack Roslovic, and Matthew Savoie. In that time, the Oilers have also seemingly figured…

This is Sam Ersson’s last chance to stay on the Flyers

Sam Ersson has had a bad year. When the Philadelphia Flyers brought in Dan Vladar as a free agent last summer, the plan was to have them split the net and ride the hot hand. That hasn’t worked out, as the newcomer has played beyond even the most optimistic of expectations and taken the lion’s share of the crease. It was up for debate if the below average save percentages over the years were a product of the team’s defensive structure, but Sam Ersson’s numbers have remained among the ...

On Thursday, top Edmonton Oilers prospect and Bakersfield Condors winger Quinn Hutson was selected to participate in the 2026 AHL All-Star Classic. It’s the second consecutive season the Condors have had a rookie selected, with Matthew Savoie part of last year’s special edition game. Feeling like an All Star⭐️

Oilers & Flyers Becoming Potential Trade Partners

When was the last time we could say that the Edmonton Oilers have goaltending depth to trade from? That seems to be the case right now, as Connor Ingram has impressed the team with his work since coming up in late December, and Tristan Jarry has returned to the crease as well after missing several weeks. They also have a smoking-hot prospect tearing it up at the AHL level.  Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Flyers could be in a bind between the pipes. Dan Vladar has been excellent as the No...

Sharks at Capitals game 46: Lines, game thread and how to watch

The San Jose Sharks are on the road and hoping to shake off those demons from another failed attempt to beat the Vegas Golden Knights. San Jose can prove that it has what it takes to compete in the playoffs by taking on another playoff contender today, the Washington Capitals. The last time these two teams met, the Sharks didn’t fare well. The Capitals beat up on the Sharks, dominating San Jose 7-1 on Dec. 3. A 4-0 first period by the Capitals ended the game before it truly got started. The Sh...
