Detroit Prospect Niederbach Moving to MoDo

In 2020, the Detroit Red Wings were excited to draft Theodor Niederbach 51st overall in the NHL Entry Draft. Two years later, Niederbach is teetering out of the picture in Detroit and this week was demoted to the Allsvenskan, the second-highest league in Sweden. Detroit general manager Steve Yzerman has always been high on Niederbach. […]

Rangers Game 20 Recap: Everything, Everywhere, All At Once

I was going to title this WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, but I don’t think a Sandra Bullock rom-com would accurately describe what occurred in last night’s comeback 5-3 victory over the LA KINGS. No one would blame you as a fan if you decided to turn off the TV and crash for the night. The […]

LGP #21: Hollowell’s NHL Debut & Robertson’s Returns

The Leafs once again play the Devils, roughly a week after their last game vs. the Devils, in which they lost in OT. Since then, the Devils have extended their win streak to 13 games. This win streak is tied for their franchise record and 4 wins short of tying the all-time NHL win streak […]

There’s no denying the fact that the injury bug has hit the Leafs since the 2022/23 season started essentially. Timothy Liljegren had sports hernia surgery and missed all of training camp. Pierre Engvall suffered an ankle injury while training in Sweden and missed all of training camp. Captain John Tavares sustained an oblique injury during […]

Red Wings Claim Magnus Hellberg

On Wednesday afternoon, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the Detroit Red Wings claimed Magnus Hellberg off waivers from the Seattle Kraken. The 31-year-old netminder has only appeared in one game this season, which was with the Ottawa Senators, who he had previously been claimed off waivers, allowing only two goals and posting a .935 save […]

BREAKING: Leafs Acquire Conor Timmins

The Leafs have officially acquired right-handed defenseman Conor Timmins from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for 6-foot-9 forward Curtis Douglas. Our team here at Inside the Rink thought this move could be coming as reporters like Friedman and Seravalli mentioned the Leafs’ potential interest. Familiarity is an incredible thing here, as Timmons came from the […]

In Defense of John Gibson

When an NHL fan hears the name “John Gibson,” they likely think of him as a formerly elite goaltender who has been below average to bad over the last 3-plus years. They would be perfectly justified in that line of thought whether you subscribe to traditional goaltending metrics or lean toward underlying numbers. He carries […]

Top Scorer Larkin Remains Unsigned

On the weekend, Dylan Larkin moved into the Top-10 in NHL scoring. His three points on Saturday gave Larkin eight goals, 14 assists, and 22 points in the first 18 games of the season. As the Red Wings close in on the quarter-mark of the season, fans are starting to worry about the Red Wings […]
