Goaltending was one of the biggest storylines surrounding the Montreal Canadiens throughout the 2025-26 season, and that should remain the case heading into 2026-27. However, the questions are much different…
As they do every summer, NHL.com had their day for Pittsburgh Penguins season preview information in setting the early stage for the upcoming hockey year. They had some questions, let’s discuss. 1. Can Malkin shine in his potential final season? Evgeni Malkin was resurgent last season, his 20th in the NHL. The forward had 61 points […]

The NHL is entering an exciting 2026-27 season with a focus on record-breaking milestones. Key players like Alex Ovechkin, Brent Burns, and Sidney Crosby have significant achievements within reach, highlighting the league's generational talent. While Ovechkin aims to surpass Wayne Gretzkyâs total goal record, Burns seeks to claim the ironman record for consecutive games played. Other notable milestones include coaching wins for Paul Maurice and additional players nearing 1,000 points. This sea

Today we’re starting a series looking at the offseason moves and preseason look for the teams in the Central Division — the Blackhawks’ path to the playoffs. We’re going to roll them off in reverse order of the standings from last year, so we start at the bottom with the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets were arguably the most disappointing team in the NHL last year, dropping from the Presidents Trophy to a top-ten pick in the draft. Almost everything that could have
The Columbus Blue Jackets continue to work on trying to get a new contract for Adam Fantilli and most figured it will be done when training camp opens.
Welcome back to another August edition of Around the NHL, as the offseason is starting to wind down, and training camps are about to grab all of our attention.

With the start of the 2026-27 NHL season in just over a month's time, one question that remains unanswered is whether the Vancouver Canucks will name a captain for the upcoming season.

Leo Carlssonin jättimäinen NHL-sopimus on herättänyt runsaasti keskustelua, mutta Henrik Sedin ei näe siinä ongelmaa. Päinvastoin. Vancouver Canucksin johdossa toimiva ruotsalaislegenda uskoo, että Anaheim Ducksin tähtihyökkääjän sopimus voi näyttää muutaman vuoden päästä jopa erinomaiselta ratkaisulta. Carlsson nousi kesällä otsikoihin saatuaan Philadelphia

William Villeneuve, ranked 17th in the T25U25, made his NHL debut amid a poor season for the Leafs, but has yet to prove he belongs at a higher level. His offensive production predominantly stems from power play time, with limited contributions at even strength, evidenced by just 30 points in 61 AHL games last season. As he enters a new season, the Leafs might not see him as a viable option after his brief NHL stint last year, especially with defensive improvements. Villeneuve's future in the NH

William Nylander’s 2025-26 season is a good example of why evaluating star players can’t simply begin and end with the points column. Nylander was easily the Leafs’ most productive player. He scored 30 goals and 79 points in only 65 games, putting him on a 100-point pace over a full season. He led the team […] The post The Leafs need William Nylander’s reliably elite production — and a hi
Bo Horvat point projections come as he is set to enter the 2026-27 season, his fifth campaign with the New York Islanders.

Leo Carlsson point projections come as he enters the 2026-27 season as the centrepiece of a very different Anaheim Ducks roster, and the expectations around him have never been higher. Anaheim matched the Philadelphia Flyers offer sheet in July, locking Carlsson into a five-year, $90 million contract that carries the highest cap hit in the …
selon l'ancien directeur général, le Canadien pourrait faire partie des équipes à surveiller dans la course à la Coupe Stanley pendant plusieurs années.
Leo Carlsson är en av NHL:s bäst betalda spelare. Något som upprör den finske legendaren Teemu Selänne. – Det hjälper inte laget alls, säger han till Iltalehti.
Maxim Shabanov has a shot at playing alongside Kirill Kaprizov, but expecting him to match Mats Zuccarelloâs production is unrealistic. While Shabanov may provide a different style of top-line support, replacing Zuccarelloâs contributionsâ15 goals and 39 assists in 59 games last seasonâis a daunting task. His strengths lie in speed and puck control, potentially offering Kaprizov more space. However, the transition from the KHL to the NHL presents significant challenges, especially in ter
There's one trait that Matthew Knies has yet to really showcase that could unlock a new dynamic that would make him a lot more dangerous - a meaner streak.

The Florida Panthers selected center Ryder Cali in the second round (48th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft, using the pick they acquired from the Washington Capitals for Justin Sourdif. Cali has a very interesting hockey background as his mother, a Canadian, was a professional player toiling in Switzerland who continued to suit up during the first trimester of her pregnancy with Ryder. When he was three, his family moved from Switzerland to the Cayman Islands, where Cali st
Adam Fantillin sopimustilanne puhuttaa edelleen NHL:ssä, sillä Columbus Blue Jacketsin nuori tähtihyökkääjä on yhä ilman jatkosopimusta elokuun kääntyessä loppupuolelle. Columbukselle tilanne on hankala, sillä rajoitetusti vapaa agentti Fantilli voisi teoriassa saada toisesta seurasta offer sheetin. Peräti 24 NHL-seuralla on tarvittavat varausvuorot tarjoussopimukseen, mutta vain harvalla on

Maxim Shabanov has a legitimate chance to earn time next to Kirill Kaprizov, but expecting him to immediately duplicate Mats Zuccarello’s production would be unfair. However, he may offer the Wild a different and potentially more dynamic version of top-line support. Still, replacing Zuccarello’s poi...
It wasn’t Mat Barzal’s top choice, but he’ll have to wear it anyway because we said so.

Zdeno Chara nähtiin viimeistä kertaa jäällä kotikaupungissaan Trenčínissä Slovakiassa järjestetyssä jäähyväisottelussa. Mukana oli pitkä lista hänen entisiä joukkuetovereitaan ja muita kiekkolegendoja, kuten Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, Milan Lucic ja Ray Bourque. Mutta illan koskettavin hetki nähtiin vasta ottelun jälkeen. Chara riisui luistimensa ja jätti ne kes

Hall of Fame -hyökkääjä muodostivat ketjun yhdessä Peter Forsbergin ja Milan Hejdukin kanssa ja onnistui heti maalinteossa Hejdukin syötöstä. Nyt Sakicin huomio on kuitenkin jälleen Avalanchen nykyjoukkueen rakentamisessa. Seuran presid
