First Career Playoff Goals From Matthew Tkachuk in Game 1

Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk had as effective of a game as anyone could ask for, scoring his first two career playoff goals, registering three shots and four hits and working his way under the skin of as many Colorado players as he could. It was a quintessential Tkachuk game for the young forward, who […]

Positive Outlook for Connor McDavid Despite Scary End to Season

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid was injured early in the second period of Saturday's season finale against the Calgary Flames and had to be helped off of the ice, but was able to walk into interviews on Sunday without crutches.

Power-Play Goal From Drew Doughty Lifts Kings to Victory

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty scored a power-play goal in overtime Saturday night to secure the win over Chicago.

Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker set up two power-play goals, earning the primary assist on both goals, during Friday night's win over the Golden Knights.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat picked up two goals on three shots as Chicago defeated San Jose on Thursday night.

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford has been tapped to start Saturday afternoon in Colorado.

With Collin Delia back in the minors this should not come as much of a surprise, but it is […]

Flyers Turn to Carter Hart for Saturday Matinee

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart will start for the Flyers Saturday afternoon as they face the Islanders.

Coyotes Fall Short Despite Productive Night From Alex Galchenyuk

Arizona Coyotes forward Alex Galchenyuk collected a pair of goals Saturday night, including one power-play marker, but it was not enough to earn the win against the Oilers.

Elias Pettersson Shines in Loss, Gets Little Support

Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson scored a power-play goal in Friday night's shootout loss to the Devils.
