Can Korpisalo Lead the Senators to the Playoffs?

A Big Opportunity Awaits Rangers’ Kakko

There was a lot of negative attention placed on New York Rangers forward Alexis Lafreniere during the preseason, and with good reason. Lafreniere, 21, was given top six minutes throughout the exhibition season and did not show enough progress, hustle, offense, or good play to warrant more playing time with the team’s top guys. If […]

How Will the Penguins Fare in the Absence of Jake Guentzel?

On August 2, 2023, Pittsburgh’s number one winger, Jake Guentzel, underwent right ankle surgery. Initially, the team stated that Guentzel would miss the first month of the 2023-24 season; however, Guentzel has been taking the ice in practice with the team, albeit in non-contact form. Even though Guentzel’s return may be more timely than the […]

MN Wild Training Camp is All About Chemistry

After a boring off-season, the Minnesota Wild returned to the ice with the same core group of players. There is already a sense of who plays well with whom or which players could swap places to try new line combinations. There are two places where chemistry might need some attention though. Matt Boldy/Joel Eriksson Ek/Marcus […]
