Monday Caterwaul: Cats double up Canes in preseason opener -
Newcomer Brady Tkachuk and Cole Reinhardt each found the back of the net twice in the Florida Panthers impressive 6-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes at Amerant Bank Arena in the preseason opener for both teams. Tkachuk’s first period power-play goal from the high slot, set up by big brother Matthew and Aleksander Barkov, at 12:02 of the first period tied the tilt after Carolina’s Dominik Badinka opened the scoring at the 6:04 mark. Tkachuk sent Barkov away for a breakaway goal with crafty backhand pass 2:30 into the second and completed the scoring with an unassisted empty-netter with 2:15 left on the clock. Reinhardt notched Florida’s third and fourth goals of the night. His first tally was assisted by Jack Devine and Radko Gudas and his game-winning goal came at 12:10 of the second when he deflected Niko Mikkola’s shot past Pyotr Kochetkov after an offensive zone faceoff. Mikkola got the Panthers’ fifth goal

NHL Reset: Pavel Dorofeyev, Brady Tkachuk among familiar faces in new places -
When Pavel Dorofeyev led the Vegas Golden Knights with 37 goals last season and scored 12 more on their run to the Stanley Cup Final, he did so as part of a stacked lineup featuring Mitch Marner, Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. Former Seattle T-Birds star Mathew Barzal hurt on eve of Islanders camp Traded to the New York Rangers, who signed him to a seven-year, $77 million contract, Dorofeyev will be counted on to lead the way. The shoot-first winger has no fear of being the guy. “You just have to be a man and accept the challenge and do your best,” he said. Dorofeyev, who turns 26 in late October, is one of several familiar faces in a new place this NHL season. Brady Tkachuk joins brother Matthew with Florida

Jedi Council -
Quick Hits as We Prepare to Kick Off the Season We are getting close, Sabres fans. Off the heels of their first playoff appearance in forever, the 2026-27 season is inching closer. Many NHL pundits, YouTubers and NHL fans are expecting a drop-off from Buffalo. I do too—to an extent. I doubt the Sabres reach 109 points again, but I still expect them to be a good, competitive team and probably finish second or third in the Atlantic Division. Look around elsewhere, though, and you will see some much more pessimistic predictions. Fourth place seems to be the common expectation, with some projections dropping Buffalo all the way to seventh. The losses of Alex Tuch and Bowen Byram certainly factor into that, but I think there is also a widespread belief that last season was simply a one-year fluke. Well, let’s see what the Blue and Gold have in store for us. Hockey is almost upon us again. As the season approaches, here are a few

Despite the almost never-ending chatter from the media about a pending trade that has ran since the 2026 Entry Draft to date….nothing has actually occurred on that front. While I certainly could go on to outline the background of why Hellebuyck & the Jets have come to this point, as well as offer my opinion on the whole situation…..I won’t bother.

Given that opening night in Toronto is Sept. 30, exactly two weeks from Wednesday’s announcement, and that beginning to skate does not equate to returning to play, it seems that he will miss time to start the year as well, though how much is not clear.
