In his introductory offseason with the Buffalo Sabres, general manager Kevyn Adams has done well in putting together a competitive 2020-21 roster.

To me, it’s a goal from a Hockey Hall of Famer. [embedded content] First, he shows his power stride, bursting down the middle to beat the near side
They say you’re only as good as your last game. If that’s true, the Nashville Predators do not look very good. The last time we saw them they were fist-bumping the Arizona Coyotes in the bubble after being eliminated from the best-of-five, Stanley Cup qualifying series. That’s not how the Predators want to be remembered.
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, after signing college prospect Philip Kemp, the Edmonton Oilers have finally found him a place to play overseas.

VANCOUVER – A unique piece of hockey history is up for sale, with a rare Vancouver Millionaires sweater hitting the auction block.

9:26 AM ET Walk into any NHL locker room today and you’ll hear a cacophony of languages and accents from around the world. Rewind 50 years ago and the acoustics were much different. Take the 1970 Stanley Cup champions, the Boston Bruins. Their roster had more Canadians than a season of “Letterkenny,” with U.K. native
To say that former Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas had an up and down career for the Black and Gold would be an understatement. When he was on his game, he was one of the best goalies in the league. Even the best go through rough patches, but they work their way through the tough
The Calgary Flames have seen a nice crop of prospects make the jump from the AHL to the NHL in the last couple of seasons. The likes of Dillon Dube, Oliver Kylington, Andrew Mangiapane, and Rasmus Andersson have all graduated to the big club, the latter two starting to make a significant impact. These graduations
In this edition of Sabres News & Rumors, I’ll discuss some major successes from this week involving three Buffalo prospects playing overseas; John-Jason Peterka, Arttu Ruotsalainen and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

The Vancouver Canucks finally have some prospects playing in North America as the NCAA and United States Hockey League (USHL) have both started their 2020-21 seasons.

VAL D’OR, Que. – Marshall Lessard scored twice as the Val-d’Or Foreurs beat the Rimouski Oceanic 5-1 in Val-d’Or on Sunday afternoon. The Foreurs raced to a 3-0 lead before Rimouski’s William Dumoulin scored in the second period to cut the deficit to two goals. Val d’Or, however, got two more goals to put the
VANCOUVER – Until he walked on water over four brilliant September days in the playoffs, Thatcher Demko’s previous chance to prove how good he could be for the Vancouver Canucks came last February when starting goalie Jacob Markstrom injured his knee the first time. In the second game of his chance of a lifetime, Demko
With the pandemic still looming, not much hockey is being played in North America right now. Luckily for the Vegas Golden Knights, the NCAA started their college hockey season, which will allow their first-round draft pick, Brendan Brisson, to get some playing time. He is currently a freshman at the University of Michigan. First Line
On Sept. 13, 2018, the San Jose Sharks made an absolutely shocking trade with the Ottawa Senators. They traded for two-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson, as well as forward prospect Francis Perron, in exchange for Chris Tierney, Rudolfs Balcers, Dylan Demelo, and former Sharks draft pick Josh Norris, as well as a 2020 unprotected
Even though the Chicago Blackhawks are well into the offseason, our Blackhawks’ writing crew, Gail Kauchak, Shaun Filippelli, Greg Boysen, and I had plenty to discuss on our latest episode of ‘Blackhawks Banter’. We discussed everything from babies, (congratulations again, Patrick Kane!), to projected NHL divisions, to rumors, and to historic announcements. If you missed
Some say it’s about lifting the spirits of the country. Fair enough. So why does it feel like it’s actually more about making money off unpaid teenage hockey players? Holding the world junior hockey championship in Edmonton is starting to look like a very questionable proposition, with Canada’s camp shut down for the next two

Nov. 25 has been one heck of an eventful date in National Hockey League history. Two of the greatest goal-scorers to ever play the game had memorable hat tricks while numerous goaltenders stole the show.
