So why did the Toronto Maple Leafs allow a lame-duck general manager to conduct their all-important trade deadline? That's one of the big questions people around Leaf Land are asking today. The answer: The Leafs almost gave him an extension last month! Insider Darren Dreger explains on TSN Early Trading : At one point during the Olympic Break, according to sources, Treliving and (CEO) Keith Pelley actually talked initially about conversations around a Brad Treliving EXTENSION as ge...
The Detroit Red Wings have made a notable move, as they have signed top goalie prospect Trey Augustine to a three-year entry-level contract, which will kick in during the 2026-27 season. In addition, the Red Wings shared that Augustine has signed an amateur tryout (ATO) with the Grand Rapids Griffins for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. This is undoubtedly big news for the Red Wings, as Augustine is one of the best goalie prospects in hockey. Now, they will get their first chan...

With just weeks left in the regular season, the Minnesota Wild find themselves in a familiar position – in playoff limbo.
Still, as the Western Conference playoff race heats up, the Wild have a chance to secure their own fate. Thanks to a relatively soft remaining schedule and one last head-to-...
While the news the last few days has been Porter Martone ending his career at Michigan State, signing his entry-level deal with the Flyers, and making his debut tonight against Washington, Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet might have let it slip that currently injured winger Tyson Foerster is on the way. It would be a massive boost for this team, if true.
If his reply Tuesday morning was any indication, it appears that Foerster will be getting back to the lineup soon. Simply put, it so...

Coming off a long road losing streak, the San Jose Sharks emerged victorious in a back-and-forth home battle against the Saint Louis Blues at the SAP Center, winning 5-4. Macklin Celebrini, as he casually does, made National Hockey League and franchise history, scoring his hundredth point in one season. The win has more than just Celebrini credit, but Alex Wennberg provided two Sharks goals, and Adam Gaudette scored the riveting game-winner that now keeps the Sharks in the running for a wild c...
There is a need around professional sports to support your players. The Miami Dolphins fans are laughing at how the Jets head coach is supporting his.
The Blackhawks have a quick stop at the United Center on Tuesday night before another road trip begins later this week, with Jonathan Toews and the Winnipeg Jets visiting 1901 W. Madison this evening.
When these two teams met four weeks ago in Manitoba — a 3-2 Jets win in overtime — Winnipeg’s playoff hopes seemed unrealistic, with the Jets then being 10 points out with 23 games remaining and four teams in the way. Time continues to be a dwindling resource but the Jets are making it inter...

The Winnipeg Jets immediately flew to Chicago after their 4-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, giving them a couple of days in the Windy City. This allowed Jonathan Toews the opportunity to throw out the first pitch in front of his teammates and all the Chicago Cub fans at Wrigley Field. Maybe they hit some of the other highlights like Millennium Park or the Green Mill as well?
But with the weekend over, the True Northers will have to get back to work in the final stretch as t...

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The day is here. The time has come. Porter Martone is going to step on the ice for the first time in an NHL game for the Philadelphia Flyers — it’s something we have all been dreaming about ever since they selected him sixth overall last year. Now, we get to see who he will be playing with in the lineup.
The 19-year-old winger just wrapped up his college career after Michigan State were unceremoniously knocked out of the NCAA tournament, signed his entry-level contract with the Flyers the...
For most of the Minnesota Wild’s 25-year history, they’ve been a defense-first team that focuses on limiting scoring chances and highlights strong goaltending. The Wild have made efforts with their recent core to change that. Players like Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Quinn Hughes, and Brock Faber ar...
It was a milestone night for a former Edmonton Oilers forward. Evander Kane, 34, dressed in the 1,000th game of his NHL career, becoming the 420th player to do so. He’ll hit the mark playing for his hometown Vancouver Canucks as they pay a visit to the Vegas Golden Knights. 161 of Kane’s games came…
The fanfare regarding the debut of Porter Martone is warranted for a lot of reasons, chief among them being that the Philadelphia Flyers are adding yet another potential top line forward for the future, who genuinely seems to want to play for the franchise.
But in more specific on-ice terms, there is one specific area that the Flyers desperately need help in, and that is on the man advantage.
In the midst of yet another year where they sit in 32nd in the NHL in power play perc...
