Could Denver Barkey be the missing piece to the Flyers’ puzzling start? -
The Flyers have played six periods (and one overtime session) over two games. They would probably like to forget the first three periods they played against Pittsburgh (as would anyone else remotely associated or interested in the club). The game Thursday night against New Jersey had a slightly different outcome. They earned a point thanks to a solid Philadelphia debut by Joseph Woll, who swallowed up shots like crazy, controlled rebounds perfectly, and kept the Flyers from coming away empty-handed. Rasmus Ristolainen made the most of a delayed penalty call to open the scoring, and Travis Sanheim took a slap shot that Jake Allen had no chance on for Philadelphia’s second goal. But other

2026-27 San Jose Sharks season milestones -
As we head into the 2026-27 season, there are a lot of milestones to keep an eye on for the San Jose Sharks players, the young and the veteran alike. We expect a lot of points this season, which means players will hit those milestones. So, here are some of the markers to look out for as we head into the season. First goal/First point as an NHL player Let’s start out with the easy ones. We know who has made the team already, so with game one tonight, keep an eye on Ivar Stenberg and Luca Cagnoni. Stenberg is on the hunt for his first NHL goal and his first NHL point. Both of those can come tonight either on the power play or with his linemates. As for Cagnoni, he’s still looking for that elusive first career NHL goal. Now that he’s potentially getting top power play time, Cagnoni could net that goal tonight, especially against the penalty-prone Florida Panthers. Other players to keep an eye on throug
