After a season of peaks and valleys, right-winger Jake Virtanen is looking for a little more consistency as he signs a new deal with the Vancouver Canucks. Virtanen and the Canucks inked a two-year, $5.1-million US contract on Thursday. The agreement means the restricted free agent avoids the arbitration hearing scheduled for Oct. 28. “Obviously
Since the modern-day Ottawa Senators returned to the NHL in 1992, they have not typically been very active in free agency. The majority of their signings have gone under the radar. While the Sens have never really landed a superstar in free agency (with one exception), they have made several low-key acquisitions that greatly benefited
It’s been just over two weeks since NHL free agency opened up and the Nashville Predators have been quite active. General manager (GM) David Poile promised changes after the team was eliminated from the postseason by the Arizona Coyotes and changes have been made. Poile had roster spots to fill, and after trading Nick Bonino
I noted in my post yesterday that, for the first time since early October, the Toronto Maple Leafs roster seems to be set for the upcoming season. Actually, from my perspective, it’s a pretty solid lineup. Given that current roster solidarity, other than the beginning of the 2020-21 season – whenever that might be –
9:46 AM ET The Buffalo Sabres have signed restricted free agent Sam Reinhart to a one-year, $5.2 million contract, the team announced Sunday. Reinhart, 24, had 22 goals and 28 assists — his third straight 50-point season — in 2019-20, playing in every Sabres game for the third straight year. The agreement allowed the sides
The Minnesota Wild have re-signed defenseman Louie Belpedio to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2020-21 season. Belpedio, 24, played 62 games with the AHL’s Iowa Wild last season and registered five goals and 15 assists for 20 points, while ranking third among AHL defensemen with 102 penalty minutes. Entering his third pro season out
Perhaps the greatest defenseman in National Hockey League history hit a pair of milestones, with two different teams, on this date. Plus, the Nassau Coliseum hosted a handful of memorable moments and a current general manager built his Hall of Fame credentials during his playing career. Orr Makes Even More History When you had the
Long before he would etch his name into history as the first Black player to compete in an NHL game, Willie O’Ree broke another race-related barrier of sorts. This wasn’t about playing hockey. It was about getting a proper haircut. And while there was no such thing as systemic segregation in O’Ree’s hometown of Fredericton,
Knowing the Western Hockey League plans to begin play again on Jan. 8 has brought a sigh of relief from Zack Ostapchuk and some of the other players he’s training with in St. Albert, Alta. “I think everybody is pretty excited,” said Ostapchuk, a 17-year-old forward with the Vancouver Giants. “We were all a little worried
There weren’t any significant transactions over the last few days, but the New Jersey Devils still made some additions to the organization. We’ll start by looking at the signing of defenseman Dmitry Kulikov, who joins the team on a one-year deal. The Devils also finalized their coaching staff by hiring Chris Taylor as an assistant and
The bulk of the San Jose Sharks’ offseason is complete, as general manager Doug Wilson believes the roster he possesses is worthy of playoff contention. The retention of Kevin Labanc, trades for Ryan Donato and Devyn Dubnyk, and signings of Stefan Noesen, Matt Nieto, and Patrick Marleau appear to be the majority of Wilson’s offseason,
2020 has been a strange year for the NHL, to say the least. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw the playoffs begin in August, the Stanley Cup awarded at the end of September, and the Entry Draft along with free agency pushed back to October. Unfortunately, the ripple effects don’t end there. Related: Maple
2:12 PM ET The American Hockey League’s target start date for the 2020-21 season is Dec. 4, but the league is preparing to offer another plan to its Board of Governors that could push it later. “We’re getting close to Dec. 4, and there’s been minimal improvement as far as fan capacity,” AHL president Scott
There’s no doubt that, whenever the 2020-21 NHL season gets underway, things will look very different in the Wild’s goal crease. With Devan Dubnyk now in San Jose, the team signed veteran Cam Talbot to be the top goaltender. Alex Stalock returns to provide a quality No. 2. But don’t count out the man who
Oct. 22 has provided plenty of memorable moments in National Hockey League history. Some of the greatest skaters to ever play the game hit personal milestones on this date. Also, a handful of Hall of Fame goaltenders left their mark on the record books. A Pair of Big Games for Super Mario Mario Lemieux scored
SYDNEY, N.S. — Elliot Desnoyers scored four times as the Halifax Mooseheads beat the Cape Breton Eagles 10-2 in Cape Breton on Saturday evening.

Surviving the COVID-19 pandemic has been harder for women’s pro sports than men’s because of the financial gap between the two. Women’s hockey in Canada was already in transition before the pandemic threatened to halt its progress.
