Head coach Spencer Carbery hopes to have a successful first season in Washington, including leading the Capitals to the playoffs again after an uncharacteristic miss this past season. The Capitals’ return to success will depend, in part, on forwards Evgeny Kuznetsov and Anthony Mantha, both of whom had less-than-stellar performances last season. However, during an […]
Going into this season’s NHL trade deadline, there was a lot of chatter regarding what players the New York Rangers were looking to acquire. Names like Frank Vatrano, Adam Henrique, Jake Guentzel, Max Pacioretty, and even Mats Zuccarello were tossed around. None of these guys ended up being traded to the Rangers because the players […]

The Nailers finished in 12th place in the Western Conference last season but finished in 5th this season with a regular season record of 38-28-4-1, which was good enough for 81 points. The Nailers went 21-13-1 at home while going 17-15-4 on the […]
Matt Rempe, the darling of the NHL for the past month, will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday night for the New York Rangers, despite being eligible to play after serving his four-game suspension for elbowing Jonas Siegenthaler.
