The Montreal Canadiens’ crease has been a mess this season, which has undoubtedly held them back from legitimate contender status. Sam Montembeault’s numbers are ugly, Jakub Dobeš has been incredibly hot and cold, and Jacob Fowler has that advantage, but he’s not there yet to carry the load on his own. All told, the Canadiens […]
It’s game day for the Allen Americans as the Utah Grizzlies invade the CUTX Event Center for two games. Allen has played Utah 10 times this season, with some interesting sequences. The teams played six times in a row between November 26 and December 6 (3 in Utah and 3 in Allen). After the two […]
Teemu Selänne expressed great frustration with the lead in Friday’s Olympic men’s hockey semi-final, in which Finland lost 3-2 to Canada at Milano Cortina 2026. A late-game penalty gave Team Canada a chance to take the lead, and Nathan MacKinnon scored with seconds left, allowing Canada to finally advance. It’s impossible to beat the greatest […]

The goal was assisted by Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini. Finland immediately […]

During today’s men’s hockey semifinal against Finland at Milano Cortina 2026 (February 20, 2026), McDavid […]
As of yet (February 20, 2026), Evgeni Malkin has not spoken to the Pittsburgh Penguins about an extension. It was reported that Malkin and General Manager Kyle Dubas were scheduled to meet during the Olympic break to discuss where both sides want to go. Although there have been rumors of a one-year extension, no such […]
Last week we evaluated the Detroit Red Wings as potential trade partners and identified possible returns for Braden Schneider, Vincent Trocheck or Alexis Lafreniere. As we’ve said before, these three players represent the Rangers’ best assets for a quick retooling rather than a lengthy rebuild. This week we turn our focus to the Columbus Blue […]
Welcome to another State of the Atlantic Division address! It’s not quite a presidential address, but the Olympic break is a good time to assess how divisions are shaping up in the short and medium term. With the Toronto Maple Leafs facing the prospect of missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade, […]
