Hellebuyck's Suspension Coming To An End
The Winnipeg Jets ' suspension of holdout goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will end this coming Friday, Oct. 23rd. Here's why: Elliotte Friedman reports that Hellebuyck informed the Jets before their first game of the regular season on Oct. 2nd that he intended to end his absence, which lasted throughout training camp and the preseason, and report to the team. But an article in the CBA allowed the Jets to suspend him for a certain period of time. That clause reads: “If a Player who has...
NY Rangers Eyeing Nearby Rival For Goalie Fix
With Igor Shesterkin out for the season, the New York Rangers are trying to address their goaltending situation by doing their due diligence, scouring the league for who might be available.

Red Wings Place Defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker On Waivers
The Detroit Red Wings take on the San Jose Sharks tonight, and before action starts, they have made a roster move. The team placed depth defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker on waivers . Bernard-Docker has been a depth option for the Red Wings and has played 63 games for a team that has struggled to find itself in postseason action, even with the rebuild taking shape. The Red Wings signed the blueliner to a two-year, $1.6 million contract , which expires at the conclusion of the 2027-28...
Report: Flyers In Tough Spot To Trade Travis Konecny
The 2026-27 Philadelphia Flyers have been historically bad under head coach Rick Tocchet. With a 0-6-3 start to the year, they look bad. Tocchet's inability to start the year with a winning record hasn't helped him this week, as he's had multiple gaffes and has arguably mistreated future NHL superstar Matvei Michkov. In addition to his slow start, needless to say, fans are unhappy, and the team has scheduled time with Tocchet and the fans to smooth over the angst that has been apparent.&...

NHLTR Mock Trade: Red Wings' Dylan Larkin to The Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens are experiencing a window of contention, and general manager Kent Hughes is motivated to keep that open as long as possible. It could be a sign of desperation to trade younger talent for a "win-now" piece like Dylan Larkin, but it could be construed as Hughes having his thumb on the pulse of the fandom that chanted "We Want Larkin" at a recent Habs game. What stands between a trade between the Canadiens and Red Wings is Larkin's trade list, which hasn't expan...

After six straight 20+ goal seasons (averaging 27 per year), Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Fiala had his 2025-26 season cut down by a brutal leg injury suffered during the Olympics.

Not around the corner, but at least it's starting to come into focus. Frank Seravalli writes on Sportsnet.ca that Fiala will be skating again this weekend. Fiala’s recovery has b...
Report: Only One Untouchable On Flyers Roster As Trade Offers Stream In
The Philadelphia Flyers continue to find new ways to lose. And they also continue to receive oodles of trade offers from teams looking to capitalize on their poor start. And if rivals can come up with the right offer, pretty much the entire Flyers roster is up for grabs, according to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff, except one. Yes, Di Marco writes, there is one untouchable in Philly, and that's Porter Martone. Based on conversations with team sources, the sense is that forward P...
Latest On Canadiens' Pending UFA Josh Anderson & Extension Talks
Pending UFA Josh Anderson is off to a red-hot start to the season, and has cemented himself as a key veteran leader on the up-and-coming Montreal Canadiens. Now in the final season of his seven-year deal with a $5.5 million AAV, Anderson is primed for an extension.

Report: Maple Leafs Making Trade Offers for 2nd-Pair Defenceman
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka is working the phones, looking to add some depth to his defense core. According to multiple reports, the Leafs have been making trade calls, looking for a second-pair defenceman, who can bring a little bit of everything to the table.

Red Wings' GM Sets Asking Price For Dylan Larkin Trade
Detroit Red Wings interim general manager Shawn Horcoff has the tall task of trying to trade Dylan Larkin, and according to TSN's Darren Dreger, it sounds like Horcoff has set his asking price. Larkin demanded a trade over the summer, had his 'C' ripped off his jersey, and now is in the awkward stage of playing through the trade talks. Dreger feels Horcoff will be looking for three or four pieces for his skilled center. Darren Dreger: Re Dylan Larkin trade request/Red Wings: Three or four pie...
Maple Leafs head coach in hot water after benching Gavin McKenna
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Jim Hiller benched Gavin McKenna for the second half of the Leafs matchup against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night, and frankly, many people across Leafs Nation are wondering what the hell happened. McKenna played just over six minutes against the Sabres and didn't see a shift past the mid-way mark of the second period. Hiller tried to explain himself after the game, but it was obvious he seems to be already getting overwhelmed with his in-game lineup managem...

2 Calgary Flames Named Prime Trade Candidates
The Calgary Flames are likely going to finish dead last in the NHL this season, and general manager Craig Conroy is tasked with another fire sale. There's certainly multiple trade assets to consider for the Flames, as Daily Faceoff's Mike Gould recently mentioned to keep an eye on a couple Flames. Gould lists Morgan Frost and Zach Whitecloud as the two players most likely to be dealt this season. Frost is a pending unrestricted free agent, who is certainly going to be appealing to contending t...

NY Rangers Scouting Buffalo Sabres Goaltending
The New York Rangers are doing their due diligence around the league, as general manager Chris Drury tries to find the best solution moving forward for his goaltending. Igor Shesterkin is out for the season and even though Dylan Garand has performed well in place of Shesterkin so far this season, Drury is expected to go out and acquire a experienced goaltender to tandem with Garand moving forward.

Maple Leafs Announce Details On Chris Tanev Injury Status
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made an announcement on the latest on Chris Tanev's status. And it's not promising. He will be out "week to week" with an upper-body injury. Leafs announce Chris Tanev is now considered “week-to-week” with an upper-body injury @TSN_Sports — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) October 15, 2026 What makes this difficult to swallow, if you're the Leafs, is that Tanev received a mere "bump" in front of the net in the first period against the Colorado Avalanche, the type of ...

Will Smith Extension With Sharks Starting To Come Into Focus
With all the talk about Leo Carlsson, Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, Cutter Gauthier and Adam Fantilli this past offseason, the one name that nobody mentioned much was San Jose Sharks' young star forward Will Smith. And if we're talking massive contract extensions, he is the next man up. Smith was the fourth pick in that vaunted 2023 Draft Class, and he has watched as most of his big-name cohorts have gotten their new deals in place, at big bucks. David Pagnotta tells us, on the...
Report: NY Rangers Linked To Maple Leafs' Goalie Anthony Stolarz
It's true that Anthony Stolarz did not have his best game for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night in Utah. A couple of soft ones got by him, allowing the Mammoth to escape with a 5-4 win.

Report: Larkin Will Be A Canadien 'Within An Hour' If He Approves Montreal
We've all heard the 20,000 Montreal Canadiens GMs (i.e. fans) making their pitch to get Dylan Larkin to accept a trade.

Larkin admitted afterwards that it was "very interesting," and "They’re passionate fans. This is, in my opinion, the best atmosphere in hockey." To this point, Larkin has not opened his limited approved trade list to include Montreal. But ac...
