A hat trick from Brandon Sutter lifted the Vancouver Canucks to a 7-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Monday. It was a much-needed victory for Vancouver (3-5-0), which had not won in regulation since its season opener on Jan. 13. Tanner Pearson had a goal and an assist for the home team, while Tyler
Back in September, after the Tampa Bay Lightning were awarded the Stanley Cup, the NHL announced over 33,000 tests were administered during 65-playoff days in the Edmonton and Toronto bubbles with zero positive results for COVID-19. That was then. Things are different now. Since the NHL resumed play earlier this month with teams playing in

Campbell was hurt late in Toronto’s 3-2 win at Calgary on Sunday when Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk landed on him in a goal-mouth scrum. Campbell has a 2-0-0 record with a 2.00 goals-against average and
Another milestone for The Great One. Wayne Gretzky turned 60 Tuesday. It’s a number the Hockey Hall of Famer knows well. The NHL notes that the former Edmonton Oiler, Los Angeles King, St. Louis Blue and New York Ranger scored 60 hat tricks (50 during the regular season and 10 in the playoffs) during an

Mitch Marner’s been working on his shot and it showed in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 4-3 win Tuesday over the host Calgary Flames.

The New York Rangers came into the season with much anticipation. However, things haven’t gone as planned and if they don’t watch out, things can get away from them quickly – they might even find themselves at the bottom of the newly formed East Division at the end of the 56-game schedule.

After a rather porous showing in Dallas, the Nashville Predators headed back home to take on the Chicago Blackhawks for the next two games on back-to-back nights. Chicago got off to an 0-3-1 start, but looked great in the two games against the Detroit Red Wings to get them to 2-3-1 on the season. The
Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin began his memorable 2020 offseason by acquiring goaltender Jake Allen from the St. Louis Blues.

After the first two weeks of the 2020-21 NHL season, the Pittsburgh Penguins hold a record of 4-2-1. While that sounds decent on the surface, their four wins did not look like great wins. Three of them came in overtime or a shootout and only once has the team let in fewer than three goals.
The Colorado Avalanche desperately needed an offensive spark from its second, third and fourth scoring lines. They just needed to come back home.
