The National Hockey League (NHL) is North America’s premier professional ice hockey league, showcasing top talent in thrilling games, championships, and a rich history of the sport’s evolution.
On paper, this one looks simple. The St. Louis Blues come into Vancouver needing points badly. The Vancouver Canucks? They’re playing out the string, learning lessons, and quietly sitting in a very different kind of race. St. Louis is still clinging to playoff hope, even if it’s fading. They’re seven points out of a wild-card…
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had their name in the news seemingly every day since the Mitch Marner trade to the Vegas Golden Knights last offseason. It has fans saying that this team wouldn’t be the same without him and in a roundabout way, they were correct. Something has seemed off with this team since…
To this point in the Red Wings’ rebuild under general manager Steve Yzerman, most of his signature additions to Detroit’s roster have been through the draft. Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, Simon Edvinsson and others all fit into this category, and it’s the organization’s success in the draft that currently has them in the thick of…
They did it again. The Florida Panthers came into Edmonton on March 19 and owned the Oilers yet again in an important game 4-0. Just like Game 5 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, when Florida came into Rogers Place and outclassed the Oilers 5-1 to take a stranglehold on the Stanley Cup Final. Just…

Yesterday in Hockey History: March 20 Tomorrow in Hockey History: March 22 March 21 has been quite the eventful date in National Hockey League history. It gave us a memorable goaltending performance in Boston, some great milestones in Pittsburgh and plenty of memories made by Hall of Famers. The THW time machine is fired up and…
This one loss hurt. Leading 1-0 heading into the third period against the Atlantic Division-rival Detroit Red Wings last Thursday, the Montreal Canadiens gave up the game-tying goal early in the final frame and the eventual game-winning goal late, the latter off an especially egregious turnover on the part of defenseman Mike Matheson deep in…
Things were looking bleak for the Columbus Blue Jackets around Christmas. The first part of their season hadn’t gone their way. They needed a spark if they hoped to make it interesting to compete for a playoff spot. GM Don Waddell went to work. On Dec 19, he acquired Mason Marchment from the Seattle Kraken…
