Though he […]

Stuart Skinner Makes Surprise Start For Oilers

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner will make his season debut against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

Spencer Knight Starts Again In Goal For Florida

Florida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight will start the back end of their back-to-back on Tuesday versus the New Jersey Devils.

Joe Pavelski Scores Power-Play Goal In Dallas Defeat

Dallas Stars center Joe Pavelski tallied a power-play goal in the 6-3 road loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller scored two goals on Sunday night as the Canucks doubled up on the Dallas Stars.

Elias Pettersson Struggling To Score Goals In Vancouver

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson has just one goal in the early going so far. That is starting to concern some members of the Vancouver staff. This is a player who shoots around 15-16% so 3.2% is a considerably troubling number. Last year, most forget that Pettersson had no goals in his first six contests […]

Conor Garland Looks To Keep Hot Offensive Hand Rolling

Vancouver Canucks right-winger Conor Garland has gotten off to an excellent start this 2021-22 season. He has ten points in 11 games overall on 20 shots.

Jamie Benn Scoring Goals Across Canada For Dallas

Dallas Stars left-winger Jamie Benn is still struggling this season but has scored goals in consecutive games. While Benn has just four points in ten games for Dallas, at least the goals and increased scoring chances are encouraging. The other problem is the possession numbers which are way off early (44.1% -- CF, 7% below […]

Tyler Seguin Finding Form As Vancouver Looms

Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin is starting to find his form as a big meeting with the Vancouver Canucks looms Sunday night. Seguin has three points in his past three games. The forward is up to six points in ten games on the season and his shot release looks as crisp as ever. This includes […]

Kyle Larson Takes 10th Checkered Flag, Wins Championship

Kyle Larson dominated most of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series this season. The first sign of the No.5 car's rise was at Homestead, then he won at Las Vegas, led 269 laps at Atlanta before falling back to second, and then he almost won at Darlington. That started a six-race streak where the Hendrick Motorsports […]

Martin Truex Jr. Comes Close At Phoenix

Martin Truex Jr. could feel another NASCAR championship in his grasp, but the dream ending was not there. Truex led 72 laps on Sunday but did not lead lap No. 312. In the end, the No. 19 car settled for second place. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver did win Stage 1 but slipped back to […]

Denny Hamlin On The Podium But Not In Top Spot At Phoenix

Denny Hamlin lurks. That is what he does best. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had a solid car and was near the front all afternoon. He was fourth after Stage 1 and third after Stage 2. Despite that, the No. 11 never led a single lap all race and bizarrely, Hamlin was hoping for an […]

Chase Elliott Falls Back In The End, Finishes Fifth At Phoenix

Chase Elliott must have thought he had a chance. He was right near the front for most of the race. The No. 9 car was third after Stage 1 then second after Stage 2. It looked like things were setting up for a repeat performance. Alas, it was not meant to be for the Hendrick […]

Ryan Blaney Ends Season With Fourth-Place Finish

Ryan Blaney, in the No. 12 Ford, finished off a nice 2021 season with a fourth-place result at Phoenix. In the end, he wound up a little over three seconds behind the winner of the race, Kyle Larson. Blaney built his way up from eighth after Stage 1 to fifth after Stage 2. During the […]

Jonathan Dahlen Notches Power-Play Goal In Loss

San Jose Sharks center Jonathan Dahlen scored a power-play goal on Saturday night against New Jersey.

Dahlen now has […]

Brent Burns Dishes Two Helpers Against New Jersey

San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns assisted on both Sharks goals on Saturday night versus New Jersey. The shorthanded Sharks, due to COVID, needed Burns to play a lot and he did (30:29 ATOI).

Adam Fox Held Scoreless In Rangers Loss

New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox had a couple of shots on goal Saturday but failed to register a point. He had a few scoring chances in his 24+ minutes of playing time but the finish was just not there. Again, the back-to-back games showed a little fatigue in the game of the Norris Trophy […]

James Reimer Allows Late Goal, Loses In Shootout

San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer yielded a late goal to Janne Kuokkanen and then lost in the shootout on Saturday night. Reimer stopped 26 of 28 shots in the defeat but gave up two goals in the shootout -- the final one to Damon Severson. The San Jose goaltender did make several very nice […]

Mika Zibanejad Fails To Score In Rangers Defeat

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad had four shots on goal and three scoring chances in Saturday night's loss to the Calgary Flames. Zibanejad and the Rangers just could not solve Jacob Markstrom. The center did have his chances in over 20 minutes of ice time. That included 4:26 of power-play time on Saturday night. […]

Jonathan Bernier Holds Off San Jose In Shootout Saturday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jonathan Bernier stood tall on Saturday night in the shootout win over the San Jose Sharks. It was not the volume of shots but the quality faced for the Devils goalie. Overall, Bernier stopped 25 of 27 shots on the night and all but one in the shootout. The goaltender only […]

Igor Shesterkin Allows Six Goals In Rangers Loss

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin had one of those nights. He allowed six goals in a 6-0 loss to the Calgary Flames. Shesterkin will not want to see Calgary again and thankfully does not have to. The six goals were on 37 shots and included a Matthew Tkachuk behind the legs goal and a […]

Ryan Graves Awarded With Goal For New Jersey In Win

New Jersey Devils defenseman Ryan Graves was rewarded with a goal on Saturday night against the San Jose Sharks.

The defenseman was not credited with a hit or blocked […]

Damon Severson Redeems Himself In Devils Win

New Jersey Devils defenseman Damon Severson scored the shootout clincher in the 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. It was an up and down game for the blueliner as he played almost 23 minutes. He saw 3:47 of power-play time where Severson mounted a couple of scoring chances. The Devils' defenseman […]

Johnny Gaudreau Dazzles In Three-Point Game Saturday

Calgary Flames left-winger Johnny Gaudreau scored twice and had one assist in the 6-0 victory over the New York Rangers. This snapped a two-game pointless streak for the forward as Calgary enjoyed a laugher against New York on Saturday night. Gaudreau was even rested as he only played 14:55 -- 2:30 on the power-play. He […]
