Jamie Benn is a Wise Guy

Though it may seem strange, Jamie Benn has been the Dallas Stars’ captain for ten years. Benn was named the Stars’ sixth captain on September 19, 2013. The left winger is the longest-tenured captain in Stars history. He surpassed former NHL defenseman Derian Hatcher in 2021. Although I still believe that Joe Pavelski should be […]

Do the Lightning Consider Lineup Changes for Pivotal Game 5?

With the Tampa Bay Lightning facing elimination in Game 5 Thursday night, the question of whether they consider making lineup changes is one worth pondering.

With the Tampa Bay Lightning in need of a big body to win puck battles, general manager Julien Brisebois made a deal with the Nashville Predators to acquire Tanner Jeannot late on February 26.

Coming off a tough shootout loss in the desert Wednesday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning looked to rebound Saturday night in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, a sloppy first 20 minutes proved to be fatal in a 5-4 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Zegras said What? Arizona vs. Anaheim

If you have any doubts that Trevor Zegras is a big game player? Look no further than tonight’s Anaheim Ducks game versus the Arizona Coyotes.

Jakob Silfverberg’s Future With the Ducks
