It's hard enough to tip in a puck right from the goalie's doorstep. That sucker is small, hard, and moving well above the speed limit, and it's a genuine feat of hand-eye coordination to not just get a blade on it, but to get only just so much blade on it to not halt it but redirect it to the angle of your choosing.
The initial expectation from Team USA and the Florida Panthers was that Seth Jones could potentially return before the Olympic break begun, lining him up with a potential trip to Italy to join his teammates. That projection had since changed; as a result, Seth Jones now finds himself on the long-term injured reserve list, which carries a minimum ten-game/twenty-four day absence.
Leafs GM Brad Treliving has been sizing up the market on defence. Looking at his options, we mentioned, for example, potential interest in Luke Schenn. I think that's still there,
Robbie G.K. (Robbie Graham-Kuntz), from the wildly popular hockey romance series Heated Rivalry, was in the house, seated in the lower bowl with his friends. Robbie plays the character Kip Grady, a history-loving smoothie shop barista, in the show. "Hey, what's up Canucks fans? It's Robbie GK here. You might recognize me from Kip from the show, 'Heated Rivalry.' I am clearly here at the Canucks game for Pride Night. Very happy to be here and support this great event and go, Canucks! Go!"
A goaltender with tremendous size, Tolopilo made his NHL debut on April 14, 2025 against the San Jose Sharks. He was called up to the show only days earlier on an emergency basis. He played well and made 15 saves to secure his first NHL win in a 2-1 victory. He has spent most of his pro career with the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League, affilaite of Vancouver.
Philly had a three-goal lead early in the second and a 4-2 lead after two, which are impressive but not impossible leads to blow. It's how Philly blew it that stands out. Barrett Hayton converted on a power play to make it a one-goal game, and that's how it stayed until the closing minutes, when the Mammoth pulled their goalie and Hathaway found himself on the dreaded 1-on-0.
Jones was moved to long-term injured reserve Monday after he sustained an upper-body injury in the first period of the Panthers' 5-1 loss to the New York Rangers in the Winter Classic on Jan. 2. The 31-year-old Jones was initially considered to be out on a week-to-week basis. But the decision to move him to LTIR raised questions about whether he would be healthy before the United States men's national team plays its first game at the Olympics on Feb. 12 against Latvia in Milan.
I think he's definitely got that sort of mentality that nothing seems to really bother him, so that's a pretty incredible trait to have as far as he just doesn't really ride the waves of what's going on around him. He has that kind of confidence and swagger about him, and just wants to play on the biggest stages, and that's what seems to bring out the best in him. Yeah, he was fun to get a chance to play with, especially on a line for a little bit there too. Not surprised to see he's thriving under the new dress code.
But if we're going to be real, San Jose Sharks defenceman Vincent Desharnais had the better return to action. Not only did he score a goal in his return, but he also had himself a highlight reel open-ice hit on Matthew Tkachuk. And he won a fight against Tkachuk. Safe to say it wasn't the impact that Matthew Tkachuk had hoped to make upon his return, especially with his Florida Panthers having just thirty-four games left to claim and solidify a playoff spot.
"I'm getting ready to go," Wilson said pregame. "My mentality is that I'm going to try and play. I haven't talked to the training staff. We just wanted to attack this day and see how it felt. Got some stuff to discuss, but I don't know 100 percent what the plan is, but I'm feeling a little better, so hopefully I'm close."
The Buffalo Sabres are closing in on a seven-year contract extension for Josh Doan that is worth $6.95 million per season, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The deal includes $7 million in signing bonuses over the first two seasons, sources told ESPN, and it also includes a seven-team no-trade clause when Doan is eligible. Doan, 23, was set to be a restricted free agent this summer.
Lexie Adzija scored Seattle's first short-handed goal of the season in the third period to take the lead for good, and the Torrent beat the Toronto Sceptres 6-4 on Tuesday night in Seattle to snap a three-game losing streak. The expansion Torrent set the franchise's single-game record for goals (six) and tied for the most in the Professional Women's Hockey League this season. The 10 combined goals were the most in a PWHL game this season.
The star-crossed Lindsey Halligan era came to a close in the Eastern District of Virginia yesterday, as two judges said the lawyer Trump installed as acting US Attorney must leave her post. Another judge previously found that the administration "had used an unlawful maneuver to install" Halligan, a former personal attorney for President Trump who had no prosecutorial experience and carried out Trump's orders to pursue flimsy prosecutions against perceived enemies like James Comey and Letitia James.
