NHL: St Louis Blues – 2025/2026 recap St. Louis finished the season on 86 points and in fifth place in the Central Division, missing the playoffs despite a second half that looked nothing like the first. After the Olympic break, the team produced one of the best defensive records in the league, a sharp contrast…

805 games, and now a one-year deal in Kazan Kevin Hayes has signed a one-year contract with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL. The American centre is 12 NHL seasons deep and, by last winter, he was not really part of anyone’s plans. The career line reads like a good pro rather than a star:…

Ottawa Senators, 2025/2026 review Ottawa finished the season with 99 points and a playoff spot for a second straight year, but the route there was anything but smooth. The team sat at the bottom of the standings in January, despite losing six defensemen to injury along the way, before clawing back to grab the final…

New York Islanders, 2025/2026 review The Islanders wrapped up the season at 43-34-5, good for 91 points, a clear step forward from recent years, but still not enough to crack the playoffs in a brutally tight Metropolitan Division. A midseason coaching change did not quite close the gap, even if a much stronger second half…

NHL: Detroit Red Wings – 2025/2026 Review Detroit endured a brutal end to the season. For almost two-thirds of the campaign, the team looked on course for the playoffs, before collapsing over the final six weeks and missing out for a 10th straight year.

NHL: New York Rangers – 2025/2026 Review The Rangers closed the season with a 34-39-9 record, good for 77 points and eighth place in the Metropolitan, out of the playoffs for a second straight year. That is a steep fall for a franchise that sat at the top of the league barely two years ago,…

Bayern Munich and the NHL signed a multi-year deal this morning in Munich. Four regular-season games are heading to Germany in 2027/28.

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. The Blackhawks finished 29-39-14 for 72 points and eighth in the Central, a sixth straight spring with nothing to play for. The blue line…

Calgary Flames, 2025-26 in review 212 goals. No team in the NHL scored fewer last season, and everything wrong with the Calgary Flames flows out of that one number. The record was 34-39-9, 77 points, seventh in the Pacific. Not a disaster. Not a collapse like the ones that hit other teams in the division.…
