A Minnesota Wild draftee had a big night in the Western Hockey League (WHL) at the
VANCOUVER – J.T. Miller says it will be tough for him to return to action when the Vancouver Canucks play their first game in over three weeks. He can’t imagine how hard it will be for his teammates who have just recovered from a COVID-19 infection to play a gruelling end to the season while

The Boston Bruins aren’t a team known for drafting and developing Russian-born players, especially in recent years. The last Russian-born player to play for the Bruins was back in the 2015-16 season when Alexander Khokhlachev played a measly five games (Anton Khudobin was born in Khazakstan, thus, not counting on this list). The Bruins seem
7:00 AM ET With the 2021 NHL trade deadline in the rearview mirror, we now have a much clearer picture of what the final month of the season will look like. For this week’s power rankings, we identified the “hinge” player for every team down the stretch — as in, who could have the most
by Ryan Loberger | AHL On The Beat When Martin Kaut walked across the stage at American Airlines Center as the 16th pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, there was little doubt the right-winger had the potential to play in the National Hockey League.

As the 2020-21 NHL Trade Deadline comes to an end, focus shifts to a call that happened yesterday afternoon between the Arizona Coyotes and Vegas Golden Knights. With seven and a half minutes remaining in the first period of play, Vegas forward Ryan Reaves looked to catch Coyotes’ defenseman Jordan Gross up high in the
Just because the NHL can’t release the Kraken until October doesn’t mean Seattle wasn’t in the mix at the trade deadline. General manager Ron Francis can’t finalize any transactions until ownership makes its final expansion payment to the league, but there’s precedent for him making a handshake deal or two. That’s what George McPhee did
Milan Lucic made it clear his 1,000th game in the NHL wouldn’t mean as much without Calgary securing a much-needed victory. Johnny Gaudreau wound up delivering the goods against their former teammate in emphatic style. The winger scored 36 seconds into overtime as the Flames defeated the Maple Leafs 3-2 on Tuesday in the ninth
Don Waddell plays his cards pretty close to the vest, rarely letting a ton of smoke surround his moves before they are in the NHL’s transaction queue.

They acquired defenseman Haydn Fleury and a 2021 fifth-round pick in two separate deals and shipped out blueliners Ben Hutton and Jani
DENVER – Deep down, this is precisely the sort of depth Colorado Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic always pictured. Two goaltenders to back up one of the best in the league. Three balanced lines to complement a top one that’s anchored by Nathan MacKinnon. A blue line filled with the perfect mix of young and
Brady Tkachuk said he might start a bet to see how long Senators teammate Connor Brown could extend his franchise-record goal-scoring streak. Tkachuk scored twice and Brown extended his goal streak to eight games as the Senators beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 Monday. “I think he’s going to score the next 13,” Tkachuk said, referring
The Vancouver Canucks have traded forward Adam Gaudette to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for forward Matthew Highmore.
