Another game, another crucial two points for the Philadelphia Flyers to earn and be well on their way to securing a playoff spot.

Last week, I described the state of the Lakers as happiness. Now, all that remains is despair. That’s what happens when two star players go down in the same game and are out for the rest of the regular season and beyond. Earlier this year, during a bump in the road that is the NBA […]
Last year, the New York Rangers began selling off some big names. A retool was underway. Jacob Trouba was gone by the midway point of the 2024-25 season. Chris Kreider and K'Andre Miller were dealt last summer. Artemi Panarin was sent out this year. But one of the veteran players who has had his name embroiled in trade rumors is still around. And Mika Zibanejad is highly unlikely to be traded this summer, and for good reason. As Andrew Crane writes in the New York Post , Zibanejad ...

The Calgary Flames would more than likely prefer to forget what happened the last time they met the Colorado Avalanche. The 9-2 final score painted the picture of a blowout loss, but a closer look reveals that the Avalanche scored five goals in the first five minutes of the game, so just calling it a […]
Former Indiana Standout Kopp Brings Winning Pedigree to Vancouver
Nearly 11 months after tearing his right Achilles tendon at Madison Square Garden in the playoffs, Jayson Tatum is set to return for Thursday night’s Boston Celtics-New York Knicks matchup. In a place he’s competed 14 times throughout his career, Tatum underwent his darkest NBA experience. So when asked after Tuesday night’s win over the […]
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid believes his team is ramping up and they will be playing their best hockey when the playoffs begin on April 18.

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up the season with a four-game homestand, starting Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes. It’s been a little over two months since the Blackhawks last saw the Hurricanes, and not much has changed for the team from Carolina. The Hurricanes are perched atop the Metropolitan Division, having locked up the top divisional seed by sitting 10 points clear of the second-place Pittsburgh Penguins. Only the Colorado Avalanche have put together a better overall s...
The Flyers have four games remaining. Nothing is secured just yet, and the magic number is just slightly higher than the tragic number going into tonight’s critical contest against Detroit. But whatever happens over the next periods, Philadelphia has turned some heads this season. And have shushed a lot of the critics, particularly since the Olympic break. So while no champagne corks should be popping just yet, we can at least look back at what some of the notable experts around the league pro...
The Carolina Hurricanes (50-22-6) are on the road tonight to take on the Chicago Blackhawks (28-36-14) at 8:30 PM, two days after clinching the Metropolitan Division.

A common saying among players in the world’s best hockey league is that there are “no bad days in the NHL.” The money’s better, planes are chartered, hotels are fancier, and nearly every need a player might have is taken care of by their team or sponsors. There’s a reason players fight and claw to g...
The Oilers took care of business in San Jose on Wednesday, snapping a two-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory.
