With the trade deadline behind us, teams are getting into the final stretch as they make a push for the playoffs. In these final 10-12 games for most of these teams, we'll see a mixture of teams trying to keep a stable set of lines as they head into the playoffs as well as teams [...]
Patrick Marleau broke the record for most games played in the NHL, previously held by Gordie Howe, with 1768. Now, Marleau is just going to add games between here and the end of the season. Marleau is on his way to the Hall of Fame and this is a great way to cap off what [...]

The three goals give Buchnevich 40 points in 43 games, which is easily the best points-per-game total of his career. Over a full season, that would put [...]
Welcome back to The Journey. This week, I will be looking at some of the top draft eligible prospects for this year’s 2021 NHL Entry Draft. While this year’s draft doesn’t have a name as notable as 2020 did in Alexis Lafreniere, there are still some fantastic players who project to turn into very good [...]
Thanks to a handful of early afternoon games along with some ongoing Covid issues, Saturday night’s main slate is only six games.
