Canadiens @ Hurricanes Top Six Minutes: The Habs return home with a split

Too much praise from the Montreal side for the last anthem singer singing in French. The Hurricanes go English only. First period A quick chance for Logan Stankoven, but Mike Matheson speeds back to break up the pass before it gets across to him. Still plenty of space for Juraj Slafkovský to skate through as the top line goes on the attack. A weak shot coming in from the point by William Carrier gets tipped by Eric Robinson, but if was enough to change the trajectory of...

2026 IIHF World Championship Day 9: Samanski logs 3 points

Things have been going great for Edmonton Oilers players at the 2026 IIHF World Championship, but there were a few disappointing results on Saturday. There were three Oilers in action.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins faced a win or pack it in for the year situation in Game 5 of the best-of-five series against the Springfield Thunderbirds.

2025-26 Player Grades: Sam Ersson rebounded during Flyers’ stretch run

The 2025-26 season was sure to be a major one for goaltender Sam Ersson. Coming off of as close to disastrous of a season as possible in 2024-25, in which he got away from his game so severely that he landed down in the basement of the league rankings in goaltenders as a result, and heading into a contract year, Ersson needed to find a way to get his game back on track and fast if he wanted to hold on to his place in this organization. And while the year was still an up and down one, the ...

4 Trade Targets That Make Sense For Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins accomplished two things this past season: Getting Sidney Crosby another run at the Stanley Cup playoffs (though it was a short run), while continuing their search for younger pieces for the future (see: Chinakhov, Egor).  GM Kyle Dubas will continue to try to straddle that delicate line again this summer. And to that end, Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now has suggested four young players that Dubas can try to acquire over the next couple of months. We'll start...

Report: Oilers Linked To Sabres Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen

  With the Buffalo Sabres out of playoff contention, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen will have to reassess the state of his team.  Running hot near the end of the season, the Sabres had an aura of invincibility that faded once they met the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  UPL played six-games in the playoffs for the Sabres, and put in his best effort against his competitors but finished the postseason with 3.18 goals-against average, and an ....

Sabres Plans for Pending RFA Zach Benson Coming Into Focus

The Buffalo Sabres made a terrific Cinderella run this season. Escaping from 14 straight years in the non-playoff wilderness, they broke out big-time with a first-place finish in the Atlantic Division and an exciting playoff run that ended in a Game 7 overtime thriller (albeit, a heartbreaking defeat).  Most would agree that one player who did as much for his future with this run as anyone is 21-year-old Zach Benson. The tenacious two-way winger had a breakthrough season—especially down t...
