2026 NHL Entry Draft: First round open thread -
How to watch Round 1 Date: Friday, June 26Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDTTV Channel: Sportsnet, TVA Sports (Canada), ESPN (USA)Online stream: Sportsnet+ After a busy day of trades early in the week, things have quieted down leading up to the 2026 NHL Draft. There are still teams with high picks that want NHL players instead and other teams trying to move up, but it seems that everyone is now waiting until the last possible moment to make their deal, hoping for the best price possible. The Montreal Canadiens are one of the teams that would rather add an NHL player than a prospect with their 28th overall pick, but that trade could come late in the draft as part of a significant move. We saw them deal two first-rounders for Noah Dobson a year ago, and Kent Hughes has always made a trade arou

2026 NHL Entry Draft: Preview, start time, TV schedule, and how to watch -
It’s been an interesting few days leading up to the NHL draft, with more picks not only in play but already moved than you typically see. A rising cap is giving teams room to add players to their rosters, and this year’s picks are being largely treated as currency to make those additions, even by teams that were well out of the playoff picture at the end of the regular season. The prospects have been watching the drama unfold ahead of the biggest day of their hockey careers, with their potential destinations changing with every rumour and confirmed transaction to shift the picks around. A different team grabbing a high pick means a different order of how things could have otherwise played out, and we’ll see which player teams had in mind when putting these trades together.

Report: Kings Expected To Work Toward Drew Doughty Extension -
The Kings appear committed to keeping the two-time Stanley Cup champion for the foreseeable future, but is it the right move for Los Angeles? Report: Kings Expected To Work Toward Drew Doughty Extension Kevin KhachatryanTue, June 23, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. UTC·2 min readAccording to NHL Analyst David Pagnotta, the expectation is for the Los Angeles Kings to work with veteran defenseman Drew Doughty on a contract extension once free agency opens. Additionally, Pagnotta reported that Doughty understands his current role at this stage of his career and that his ice time will decrease in the coming years, which will be reflected in his value and worth in his next deal.

According to NHL analyst David Pagnotta, the expectation around the organization is that the Los Angeles Kings will eventually work with the veteran defenseman on a contract extension once free agency opens. At the same time, there’s an internal understanding that his role is evolving, including a reduction in ice time as the team continues to reshape

Doughty has been playing a meaningful role for the Kings since he was drafted, and while he has gotten older. His production has slowed down, but the Kings continue to need him as a leader. Throughout the season, he was the leader the Kings needed him to be, and looking forward to next season, the Kings will not have to worry about leadership in the locker room with him around.

The Kings Could Trade for Morgan Rielly -

The Kings Could Trade for Morgan Rielly (© John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images)Holden DouglasWed, June 24, 2026 at 7:22 p.m. UTC·2 min readMorgan Rielly is rumored to be traded from Toronto and the Kings are listed as a preferred destination. Now Los Angeles has to determine if they want to go all in on Rielly. Throughout most of his career, Rielly was on the first-line pairing and was the number one defenseman for the Maple Leafs. While Rielly has first line experience, he may not be on the first line with the Kings. Last season, Rielly recorded a 35.64 IPP, which was the lowest of his entire career. Despite the regression from Rielly, he could still be beneficial to Los Angeles even if he isn’t on the first line. A second line role would work best for both paries if a trade happened.

2026 NHL Draft Profile | Tyus Sparks, Spokane Chiefs -
Tyus Sparks could have succeeded in any sport. He certainly has the family pedigree. His dad, Nate, won a Grey Cup with the CFL's B.C. Lions, while his mom, Debbie, competed on Boise State's gymnastics team. Sparks' sister, Kiari, is also a decorated gymnast and his older brother, Makhai, plays hockey. Tyus himself dabbled in football as a running back and kicker while also playing soccer. But his hockey dreams were locked in from the moment he strapped on a pair of skates for the first time. "I was in Minnesota with my family," Sparks recalled. "The first time I skated was on a frozen-over basketball court and ever since then, I just loved it." That love has come with big sacrifices. Sparks hails from Meridian, Idaho- a state that has only produced two NHLers and a handful of minor professional players. He got his first shot with the Los Angeles Jr. Kings program, but rather than leave home, Sparks spent three years flying to gam

The rapturous atmosphere inside Montreal's Bell Centre has converted countless kids to hockey fans over the decades. You can count Brandon Wheat Kings defenceman Giorgos Pantelas as one of them. Watching the 2026 NHL Playoffs and cascades of fans in scarlet, whipping rally towels and cheering loud enough to shake the broadcast cameras, takes him right back to his childhood in Cartierville, and, later, Laval. "The Montreal atmosphere, it's amazing," Pantelas said. "Every time I'd go attend one of those games, I would just look around at every player. You would just dream to be in that moment in the center stage, really just playing for your team, for hockey, for everything." Pantelas originally played goalie, like his dad, Kyriakos, but had a tendency to stray from his net and jump up in the play. Instead, he found his calling on the blueline just like his original Habs hero, PK Subban. But he didn't

How Chicago deployed its centers last season, how they performed, and what that means going forward -
It was a little after 4 p.m. Chicago time in the second week of October when the puck dropped on the 2025-26 season, with the Hawks on the road against what was then the two-time defending Cup champions in the Florida Panthers. Visiting teams announce their starters first, and new head coach Jeff Blashill played it safe. Rather than putting superstar Connor Bedard out for the opening draw — as I’m sure the TV networks were hoping — he went with his shutdown line. He started Jason Dickinson, centering Ilya Mikheyev and Colton Dach, supported on the back end by Connor Murphy and Ethan Del Mastro, with Spencer Knight in net. The Panthers had already been decimated by injuries by that time. Superstars like Barkov and Tkachuk were already out injured, so their top line that night was Conn Smythe winner Sam Bennett centering Brad Marchand and Carter Verhaeghe, supported on the back end by Niko Mikkola and old friend Seth Jones, with Sergei Bobrovsky

2026 NHL Draft Profile | Zach Olsen, Saskatoon Blades -
From the outside, Zach Olsen's rise through the NHL Draft ranks might have some scratching their heads. The bare stats don't necessarily fly off the page- but as Olsen's coaches, teammates and opponents will tell you, goals and assists don't tell the full story. In fact, in a recent poll by The Athletic's Scott Wheeler, the Saskatoon Blades winger was voted the most underrated player in the 2026 NHL Draft class by his peers. "He's always moving," Blades star and fellow draft-eligible forward Cooper Williams said. "He's big and he's strong, and when you add his speed to it, he's hard to stop in puck battles, and he's just always competing as hard as he can." https://twitter.com/scottcwheeler/status/2067013040051032424 In a sophomore season that saw him switch from centre to right wing, Olsen posted 18 goals (including three game-winners) and 16 assists for 34 points in 57 regular-season games, along with a team-leading 79 penalty minut

BLUE LINE OVERHAUL: San Jose Sharks Must PRIORITIZE Defensive Upgrades Over The Next Week -
San Jose Sharks face a pivotal offseason as GM Mike Grier targets blue line upgrades and looks to solidify the team’s competitive future. With Michael Kesselring already acquired, can the Sharks overhaul their defense enough to support their young core and finally turn the corner?

A key theme that emerged was patience—resisting flashy, short-term moves in favor of sticking to the rebuild plan. The discussion explored why locking in foundational pieces like Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith should be top priorities to ensure consistency and minimize distractions. Several points were raised, including contract strategies for Collin Graf, the risk of rushing the process, and how San Jose can avoid the pitfalls faced by teams like the LA Kings.
