Michigan fires HC Sherrone Moore The Dallas Stars are a freight train right now, barreling down the tracks of a congested schedule. The Stars have won four in a row, they have an 11-game point streak (9-0-2) and have points in 23 of their last 25 games (18-2-5. 41 pts., 0.820). Their power play has been nearly unstoppable, their big guns have been firing at all cylinders and their goaltending tandem has been elite. Frankly, there are not many issues at the moment, so we're going to have to really drill down to uncover a very minor concern regarding Matt Duchene's continued recovery and where he best fits in the lineup, especially in the absence of…...

13+ min ago (514+ words) The New Jersey Devils and Tampa Bay Lightning each had a solid offensive performance to break their respective notable losing streaks. The teams will look to build momentum at the other's expense on Thursday night when they meet in Newark, N.J. Cody Glass scored the go-ahead goal with 7:36 remaining in the third period Tuesday, helping the Devils halt a five-game skid with a 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators. "Obviously, we were going through a bit of a streak there," Glass said, "but we just came together, and now it's time to kind of put our game together, put it behind us and just have a clear mind." The line of Glass (one goal, one assist), rookie Arseny Gritsyuk (one goal, two assists) and Connor Brown (three assists) combined for eight points on Tuesday. "Our line was just forechecking hard, getting it…...

15+ min ago (352+ words) One of the reasons the Boston Bruins are second in the Atlantic Division is that most of their off-season additions have paid off in one way or another. While a breakout season from Morgan Geekie, consistently elite play from David Pastrnak and improved goaltending from Jeremy Swayman have played huge roles in the Bruins performing surprisingly well, GM Don Sweeney's additions have been solid. For starters, left winger Viktor Arvidsson " acquired this past summer from the Edmonton Oilers for a fifth-round draft pick " has seven goals and 13 points in 24 games. Three of those goals are game-winners. At a $4-million cap hit, the 32-year-old isn't exactly cheap, but he's making the most of averaging 14:32 of ice time, and he's giving great value for the trade price Sweeney paid for him. Another Bruins off-season addition " former Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sean Kuraly,…...

21+ min ago (178+ words) After practice on Wednesday, Head Coach Adam Foote was asked about the trade speculation surrounding his captain. While Foote has been around the NHL for decades, this is the first time he has had to face trade rumours surrounding his players as a head coach. In his answer, Foote spoke about how the Hughes rumours are impacting not just the team but also himself. Keeping the room focused during all these trade talks is going to be a challenge for Foote and his coaching staff. The noise is just going to get louder, which could cause strain on the locker room over the next few months. Ultimately, this will be a big test for Foote as he not only will have to manage his players' on-ice performances, but also their morale off the ice. How The Vancouver Canucks Stack Up…...

1+ hour, 16+ min ago (589+ words) The Washington Capitals have been one of the most surprising clubs over the last couple of seasons. Following their 2018 Stanley Cup victory, the team seemed on the decline. An aging core continued to produce, but lacked the sort of supporting cast needed to excel. However, a retool on the fly has become the new NHL standard. After barely making the playoffs in 2023-24, the Capitals rose to the top of the Eastern Conference in 2024-25. Part of that resurgence was the ongoing outstanding play by captain Alexander Ovechkin. Fast-forward to this season, and the Capitals have recovered from a subpar start. They're back on top of the Metro Division standings and looking to make a serious playoff run. Ovechkin, meanwhile, eclipsed Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal-scoring mark. But those achievements have done little to overshadow a stark reality. Ovechkin is 40 and in the…...

1+ hour, 30+ min ago (254+ words) WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Wednesday expressed concern about the construction delays regarding the hockey rink for the Milan Cortina Olympics. The slow construction of the main rink is "disappointing," he said at the Winnipeg Jets' facility. "I'm not trying to pile on on this, in all of the prior Olympics, whether they built permanent or temporary facilities, it's never been this late for a completion in the building of ice, and so that's why we are cautious," Bettman said. The NHL has previously expressed concern about the quality of the ice surface. The league is sending its own experts to Italy to ensure the ice is safe. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly has said the completion date of the main rink is set for Feb. 2. The women's tournament is scheduled to start Feb. 5 and the men's hockey…...

1+ hour, 36+ min ago (462+ words) Vancouver Whitecaps are approaching a do-or-die situation with their fight to secure a new stadium Vancouver Whitecaps have enjoyed nothing short of a fairytale campaign in 2025. The Whitecaps kicked off the season by brushing past Saprissa, Monterrey, Pumas and Inter Miami before losing 5-0 to Cruz Azul in the Concacaf Champions Cup Final. Bolstered by the mid-season arrival of German superstar Thomas M'ller, Vancouver went 10 matches unbeaten, won a fourth-straight Canadian Championship, and booked their place in the post-season play-offs after a 7-0 thrashing of Supporters' Shield winners Philadelphia Union. After three straight wins vs. FC Dallas and LAFC (the last two on penalties), Vancouver would come out victorious in their first-ever Western Conference Final, mounting a three-goal advantage before half-time and winning 3-1 at first-placed San Diego FC. But, whilst Vancouver have reached dizzying heights in 2025 and staked their claim as one…...
