Boston College's James Hagens signed a pro contract this week with the Boston Bruins, the team that selected him seventh overall in last year's NHL Draft.This is really no surprise for a player of his caliber.

Recap of the game.
Must-win accomplished but who's playing D tomorrow?
Mika Zibanejad’s milestone night deserved better. Instead, the Rangers delivered one of their worst offensive performances in franchise history, managing just nine shots in a lifeless loss to Ottawa.
It was a pretty good week for the Tampa Bay Lightning as they took seven out of eight points on their trip out west. Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up three wins, but the engine behind the wins was Nikita Kucherov. The winger put up 6 goals and 7 assists with two of those tallies counting as game-winners. The thirteen points moved him past Connor McDavid in the Art Ross race and garnered him the First Star of the Week Award from the NHL. The Predators Filip Forsberg, 4 goals, 5 assists, and Mo...
The Nets lost (or won) depending on how you look at it against the Kings. We’re in the final stretch and guys are going down. Egor Demin is done for the year, Michael Porter Jr. is out at least 2-3 weeks, and Danny Wolf left the game with an ankle sprain. We’ll see what these […]

The Carolina Hurricanes usually leave a lot to be desired. The 'Canes have consistently been one of the best regular season hockey teams throughout the past decade, however, can't seem to get over the hump and win multiple playoff rounds. This season, the Hurricanes didn't make a huge splash at the trade deadline, despite making trade offers for Vincent Trocheck, Brayden Schenn and Elias Pettersson. Look for changes this offseason, as GM Eric Tulsky will be looking to re-tool on the fly, regar...
The Montreal Canadiens are one of the NHL's most entertaining teams, both on and off the ice. GM Kent Hughes has assembled a talented young core, and so far this season, it appears the Habs are going to exceed expectations, and potentially make some noise in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Off the ice, Hughes has constructed the best farm system in the league, and don't be surprised to see Hughes move some prospects at the NHL Draft and upgrade his lineup. There's going to be changes in Montreal, it...

Cactus League play has wrapped up, so the Royals begin their seemingly-annual exhibition trip to Dallas to play the Rangers at Globe Life in advance of Opening Day. It’s not spring training, it’s not the regular season, it’s…baseball purgatory I guess. I’ve heard you don’t want to be flying around Atlanta right now anyway. Huge […]
After Monday’s practice, head coach Craig Berube discussed the mentors trip, the message to the players during the final stretch of a lost season, Anthony Stolarz’s status, and William Nylander catching Stolarz high with a puck in warmups.

Berube: It is always […] The post Craig Berube on his expectations for the Leafs as they play out the string: “Where is your compete level? Are you playing for the crest on the front o...

Connor McDavid briefly took part in Edmonton Oilers practice on Monday, but left the ice after a few minutes. No need to hold your breath, though. It was largely a maintenance day for the captain, but he still wanted to touch the ice. McDavid said it was “Just hips and groin stuff. It’s all good.” …
