NHL Day 3: Blackhawks lean on nostalgia while the rebuild waits
NHL: Chicago Blackhawks, 2025-26 review Two hundred and seventy-five goals against. That number, one of the ugliest in the league, is where any honest look at Chicago’s season has to start.

NHL: Kings sign veteran centre Haula for two years
Haula heads to Los Angeles The Kings got their man. Erik Haula is off to California on a two-year deal, and he lands with a team still hunting for stability through the middle. He’s 35 now. That still counts for something when the games tighten up. Haula broke into the league back in 2013, and…

NHL: Predators add Kerfoot on two-year depth deal
Kerfoot joins Nashville Nashville isn’t done shopping. Alexander Kerfoot has put pen to paper for two seasons with the Predators, and the fit makes sense. He reads transition play well, and he gives the roster a centre who does the quiet work. Harvard produced him before the league did. Scoring was never his thing. Look…
