Marcus Johansson

What’s the Deal with Calen Addison’s Contract?

The Minnesota Wild have had the type of off-season everyone expected. They re-signed Freddy Gaudreau and Marcus Johansson at the end of the season. The other trades from last year signed elsewhere. Adding Pat Maroon was unexpected but made sense with losing Ryan Reaves. Brandon Duhaime and Filip Gustavsson re-signed, even if it took a […]

Can Marcus Johansson Keep Up The Pace?

When Bill Guerin traded for Marcus Johansson at the 2023 trade deadline, there were instant grumbles from the fans. The last time Johansson was part of the Minnesota Wild, he finished with six goals and 14 points during 36 games. To compound that, he broke his arm three games into the playoffs. But Wild fans […]

Matt Boldy Is Ready for the Next Level

Matt Boldy, 22, ended his first full NHL season looking just like the superstar that the Minnesota Wild expected him to be. (Ignore the off-season. No one played their best at that point!) With 31 goals and 32 assists, he finished the year with 63 points. Boldy is still young, so he has plenty of […]

Will Freddy Gaudreau Stay on the Second Line?

Freddy Gaudreau, 30, is a player that doesn’t attract much attention during a regular game. Playing alongside speedy Matt Boldy, Gaudreau is more than happy to hang back and play a more defensive game, easily overshadowed by Boldy’s dynamic play. But that doesn’t mean it’s unimportant. Gaudreau is a jack-of-all-trades player who continues to make […]

Sabres Improve Defense by Acquiring Jordan Greenway from Wild

In a move that makes sense, the Buffalo Sabres improved their team defense ahead of a potential playoff run by acquiring forward Jordan Greenway from the Minnesota Wild for two draft picks at Friday’s 3 pm deadline. The picks are a second-rounder this summer, previously held by the Vegas Golden Knights, and a fifth-round pick […]

Capitals Still Not Done As They Look To Trade Away Two More Players

The Washington Capitals and general manager Brian MacLellan have fully committed to retooling this roster once their playoff hopes slipped away. After losing six straight games, the Capitals now find themselves seventh in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race. In an effort to make this lost season count, the Washington upper management has begun to […]

Wild acquire Marcus Johansson from Capitals

The Minnesota Wild have acquired right wing Marcus Johansson from the Washington Capitals via trade for a 2024 Third Round pick in the NHL Draft, ahead of the Friday, March 3rd Trade Deadline. Johansson has played 60 games this season and has 28 points. This is his second stint for the Wild, as he played […]

Things Need to Change for the Capitals

Ever since winning the Stanley Cup in 2018, the Washington Capitals have been a very predictable hockey club. They would have a solid regular season, get into the playoffs, and they got knocked out in the first or second round. Of course, during these seasons, we would see their captain Alex Ovechkin score a ton […]

Capitals Beat NHL’s Top Team

After a disappointing month of January, the Washington Capitals welcomed the All-Star break and bye week, which gave them ten days between games. In their first game of February, the Capitals beat the NHL-best Boston Bruins 2-1 in TD Garden. It is only the second regulation loss at home for the Bruins. The win allowed […]

Capitals Win Before All-Star Break

The Washington Capitals had plenty of potential storylines in play Tuesday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets. In a closer-than-expected game, the Capitals won 4-3 in overtime. The two teams have lost the most man-games to injury in the Eastern Conference and fall on opposite ends of the age spectrum. The Capitals’ roster has the […]
