Vanecek Getting the Job Done for the Devils

The New Jersey Devils were awful in every area of their game last season. They had trouble scoring goals, keeping the puck out of the net, and their goaltending was atrocious. Heck, not only was the goaltending bad, but none of the goaltenders could stay healthy long enough to be consistent. All of these things […]

Screened Shots Key to Capitals’ Loss

The Capitals lost the second game of a back-to-back set, 4-2, Tuesday night at Capital One Arena against the Minnesota Wild. The Wild scored three of their four goals with a player screening goalkeeper Charlie Lindgren in front of the net. Lindgren believed the Capitals could have won if not for the three screened goals, […]

Despite going down 3-0 in the first half of the game and losing center Nic Dowd to injury, the Washington Capitals rallied to beat the New York Islanders 4-3 in overtime Monday night.

Zibanejad is the Perfect Ranger

When the New York Rangers traded Derick Brassard to the Ottawa Senators for Mika Zibanejad back during the 2016 offseason, many people did not know what to think.

Mid-Season Odds For Rocket Richard Trophy Winner

As it stands right now, the top three goal scorers in the league are Connor McDavid (37), David Pastrnak (33), and Tage […]

Here Come The Capitals

To open the season, the Washington Capitals hovered around the middle of the pack as they played .500 hockey. A mixture of lack of production from key players and the injuries to Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson left the team without two of their best players. All that started to change back in December as […]

Predators Back in Playoff Hunt with Strong Play

For much of this season, the Nashville Predators played inconsistent hockey. They would win a bunch of games and then lose a bunch of games. There was never a middle ground, and up until this point, it was costing the Predators in terms of staying in contention in what is a very tight Western Conference. […]

Playoffs are Not a Guarantee for the Devils

There is no doubt that the New Jersey Devils have taken huge strides this season. That may actually be an understatement. As of this writing (Tuesday, January 3), the Devils are second in the Metropolitan Division and sixth in the league with a 23-11-3 record for 49 points through 37 games. The team’s youngsters have […]

Sorokin Is The Man on The Island

When talking about New York and NHL goaltenders, one often first mentions New York Rangers masked man Igor Shesterkin. This is with good reason. Shesterkin won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender last season when he went 36-13-0-4 with a 2.07 goals-against average, a .935 save percentage, and six shutouts. The man they […]
