The Phantoms wrapped up a four-game road trip this weekend with a pair of games in New England, facing off against divisional rivals in Springfield and Providence. It was a mixed bag as far as the results go, as they split the weekend with a win and a loss and saw their points streak brought to an end at seven games, but despite it ending on a note of disappointment, the greater tone as they return him again is one of encouragement.
And, as they approach the halfway point of the season, e...
The Blackhawks look to continue their strong start to 2026 when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at the United Center.
When these two teams met in Edmonton back on Nov. 1, the Oilers were still in their typical early-season malaise, owning just a 5-4-3 record before beating the Hawks 3-2 in overtime . But Edmonton hit the gas around Thanksgiving, going 11-5-1 in late November and most of December to surge from outside of the playoff picture to second place in the Pacific Divi...
Like many youthful teams in 2025-26, the Chicago Blackhawks have yo-yoed up and down this season. After a surprisingly good start, then free-falling as the weather got colder, are the Blackhawks back on the come-up? That’s what their fans hope for ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. Connor Bedard is back after nearly…
Over the next few months, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at some of the late season signings who are under contract for 2026, and futures signings after the end of the season. We continue today with cornerback Tre Brown, who is under contract for next year having played for the Jets in the last […]
After securing a shutout against the Columbus Blue Jackets this past Saturday, the Colorado Avalanche continue their seven-game home stand welcoming the Toronto Maple Leafs to town. This will be the first of two regular-season matchups between these two teams with the rematch in Canada in just over a week. Colorado Avalanche Colorado continued their […]
While the Eastern Conference wildcard race is tight with all of the teams at or above .500, the Western Conference wildcard race is tight, but much weaker. There are some teams climbing above .500 and playing well, but it seems just as tough to make the playoffs. The St. Louis Blues are one of the teams in the running, but have been falling out of the race. They are now four games under .500 and six points back of a playoff spot with two extra games played. There continues to be plenty of play...
Ann-Renée Desbiens is not from Quebec City, but it is the city where she went to high school and played minor hockey. She had 120 friends and family at Sunday’s game, and left it with a 26-save shutout and more importantly a big three points.
“From a coach’s standpoint, it felt like nothing was getting by her tonight,” said Montreal head coach Kori Cheverie.
The Montreal Victoire defeated the Vancouver Goldeneyes 1-0 at the Centre Videotron in Quebec City. Nicole Gosling scored her f...
Two winning streaks collide tonight as the Carolina Hurricanes (28-14-3) visit the Detroit Red Wings (27-15-4) for a game at Little Caesars Arena. Game time is 7 P.M. Eastern. The Canes have a four game winning streak while the Wings have won three straight. Carolina is 6-4-0 in their last 10 games while Detroit is […]
Team Canada was not an easy team to make for the 2026 Olympics. There were many deserving players left off the team, but some may get the chance to go if injuries or something else happens at the wrong time. Right now, Bo Horvat and Tom Wilson are injured, while Devon Toews will choose being at the birth of his child over playing in the Olympics. Pierre LeBrun said, "15 players have been told that they're on the reserve list. The forwards...some pretty obvious names: Sam Bennett, Connor Bedard...
Conor Gallagher has played his final game for Atlético de Madrid. Gallagher is returning to England as a new player for Tottenham Hotspur, which agreed a €40 million deal with Atlético on Monday to bring the ex-Chelsea midfielder back to the Premier League. Matteo Moretto reported earlier in the day that Aston Villa had taken […]
The Ottawa Senators goaltending has been in shambles all season long, and although Linus Ullmark wasn't having a good season as the starter, he has been taken off the board and is away from the team for the foreseeable future, leaving the duties in the Senators crease to Leevi Merilainen and Mads Sogaard. Because that has gone so poorly, the team decided to bring in James Reimer. The Senators gave Reimer a game in the AHL where he didn't play well at all, but are so desperate that the team has...
Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen can throw a big hit at times, can clear the puck quickly, and sometime deliver a howitzer from the point that will either have a defender on the ice from the shot block or, once in a while, the net. He’s now 12 games into this season after missing roughly the first two and a half months, and he has a trio of assists.
But perhaps more than anything else, he is probably the guy who should be on the trading block for Philadelphia in a season where Flyers ...
Minnesota Golden Gophers 5th year senior Abbey Murphy is one of the best women’s college hockey players in the country. She’s one of the best women’s hockey players in the world and will play a huge role on Team USA’s roster when they head to the Olympics in less than a month. But she had […]
Pro Football Focus has released their latest mock draft. The Jets own a pair of first round picks and have needs all over their roster. The mock has them addressing two of the most valuable positions on the field. 2. New York Jets: QB Dante Moore, Oregon As long as Moore enters the draft, the Jets will […]
A 4-3 shootout defeat to the Los Angeles Kings stings, but the Vasily Podkolzin–Leon Draisaitl–Kasperi Kapanen line was a silver lining for the Edmonton Oilers, keeping their hot streak alive by combining for two goals in the game. Kapanen returned to the lineup three games ago, joining Podkolzin and Draisaitl on the second line, and…
Mike and Dan recap a productive week for the Islanders and celebrate the performances of Ilya Sorokin, Anthony Duclair and Simon Holmstrom. The Islanders grabbed five of a possible six points in three very different games this week. One was a blowout that starred Duclair and also required 44 saves from Sorokin, giving him a […]
Going back to the offseason, there has been varying degrees of smoke around the future of New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton. Entering the fifth year of a seven-year, $63m contract he signed back in 2021, Hamilton’s play and physical health were starting to decline. So much so that apparently Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins opened the past week with an impressive 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils, extending their winning streak to six consecutive games and continuing to play their way back into playoff contention. It also set the stage for a potentially big weekend against two pretty mediocre teams — the Calgary Flames and […]
Jake DeBrusk's disappointing season has landed him on the rumor mill of late. He was a healthy scratch for the Vancouver Canucks in late December. And while things have turned around a bit for him since then, the same can't be said for the team, however. DeBrusk has three goals and five points in the last five games, but the Canucks' losing streak was extended to six games over the weekend with a dreadful 5-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs , and they are now dead last in the NHL. ...
The Atlanta Falcons are building a deep list of candidates to interview for head coach, the same approach they took in 2024 before landing on Raheem Morris. Some of the same faces are popping up in this search, too. One of them in Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. The team conducted two interviews with him […]
Last week, I committed a grave violation of the eastern sportswriter protocol by talking about the Pacific Division. Specifically, how comically bad it was . Apparently, some Eastern Conference teams were jealous. And like a toddler who hasn’t quite grasped the distinction between good attention and bad attention, they responded by making a nasty mess all over the floor. Is that chocolate? I really hope that’s chocolate. OK, fair’s fair. Let’s talk about a few of the utter disasters unfolding ...
The Dougie Hamilton drama with the New Jersey Devils is now at a boiling point. He was a healthy scratch on Sunday and we heard that his agent admitted the player might be willing to waive his no-trade for some of the teams not on his 10-team trade list. The latest intel emerging on this Monday morning is that there are three teams now considered "serious suitors" with three other teams in the mix as well, per James Murphy in rg.org. The Sharks, Maple Leafs, and Mammoth have all emerged ...
What a weird season for the NFC South, but in the end, the Carolina Panthers were the division winners. Now, going into the offseason, all four of these teams have tough work to do this offseason, so let’s start the preview. Tampa Bay Buccaneers This was a very disappointing season for the Buccaneers. Instead of […]
Special teams nearly cost the Los Angeles Rams against the Panthers in the Wild Card Round. Matthew Stafford ensured that wouldn’t happen, but if special teams didn’t cost them this weekend, it will eventually. The unit has been the Rams’ biggest weakness all season long. It was so bad that Sean McVay made an in-season […]
