Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-3 overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 23-15-7. On the team’s performance: Good team effort.

A lackluster effort from the Lakers saw the Kings pick up just their 10th win of the season, 124-112, on Monday. LA led for most of the first quarter, but Sacramento, who came into the game tied with the Pelicans for the fewest wins in the West, took a lead late in the opening period […]
And now for something completely different. Where did that come from? Consider the ways in which the Devils 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild on Monday night at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minn., was some kind of funhouse mirror reflection of the horrors of the past month and a half. The Devils beat […]

On January 8th in 2010, a circuit breaker malfunction caused a lighting failure during a Lightning date with the Devils resulting in a 102 minute delay before the NHL postponed play at the Prudential Center for another day. The teams met again two days later once radiance had been restored at The Rock, picking up where they left off with the Bolts up 3-0 midway through the middle frame. Tampa
Right when we were all excited for a Connor vs Connor matchup and seeing the Blackhawks at full strength with Bedard back in the lineup… it was Bedard who got sick and was not in the lineup. Spencer Knight was really good, and the skaters in front of him were also very active with their sticks. Unfortunately, it was a shot that hit a body that got Edmonton on the board first almost 15 minutes into the contest. Zach Hyman was credited with the goal. Evan Bouchard banked a shot into the net...
This should have such a fun night. The Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their tenth win a row. Jon Cooper won his 600th game as a head coach. Nikita Kucherov rolled off yet another multi-point game (his ninth in a row). Jake Guentzel joined Brandon Hagel and Kucherov in the 20-goal club for the season. The power play scored twice in the 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Yet, one play casts a lengthy shadow over the win. On his power play goal early in the second period, Brayden Point had...
First period Oliver Kapanen gets the first scoring chance of the game by speeding down the wing for an open shot, but goaltender Nikita Tolopilo makes the stop. Zachary Bolduc was going to get another one, but didn’t protect the puck well enough to get it past the defenceman. Just 5% more effort from Montreal here probably gets them a goal, and the floodgates could open from there. The crowd gives Arber Xhekaj a nice hand for collecting the puck in his own zone and flying...
The Miami Hurricanes are one of college basketball’s hottest teams. The once-lovable losers from Coral Gables have reeled off nine wins in a row before their encounter with rival Notre Dame on Tuesday night.

A strong start and emotional returns weren’t enough as the Rangers surrendered another lead and watched the Garden turn restless in a 4–2 loss to Seattle.
It's the first of back-to-back late night games for us on the east coast.
Things were starting to cook for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second game against the Philadelphia Flyers in three nights. After they made it through a tight-checking first period with a 1-0 lead thanks to an early goal by Pontus Holmberg, they doubled the lead just 30 seconds into the second period when Jake Guentzel deflected home a shot from Erik Cernak. Four minutes later, Brayden Point swatted home a rebound on the power play and it appeared the rout was on for the second game in a...

We thought the Blackhawks were done with the whole being sick thing when everyone showed up looking good at the morning skate on Monday. We are in fact not clear. And this one hurts. Connor Bedard , who returned from his shoulder injury just two games ago and had two beautiful assists on Saturday night in Nashville, will not play against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night because he’s sick.
Head down to the comments to talk about Monday’s game against the Oilers! Game Preview
