The Florida Panthers arrived in Boston feeling pretty good, and rightly so.

LAS VEGAS -- The Golden Knights fell behind early for the second straight game, and their late surge in Pittsburgh wouldn't be enough.

If one thing has been consistent in these past three seasons, it's that the Pittsburgh Penguins never go down without a fight at the end of the season.

The Nashville Predators (24-32-7, 55 points) kick off their three-game California road trip with a matchup against the San Jose Sharks (17-39-9, 43 points) Tuesday at SAP Center.

The Los Angeles Kings increased their forward depth at the NHL Trade Deadline by bringing on Andrei Kuzmenko. Kuzmenko's ability to attack the open ice brings some new energy to the LA offense.

Things were looking great for the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night in Boston, until they weren’t.

The Ottawa Senators got a grand total of two shots in the third period on Tuesday night and scored on both of them to defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-2 at Wells Fargo Center.

The Chicago Blackhawks took on the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night and they played a solid game. The difference in the game, besides Scott Wedgewood in the net for Colorado, was the playmaking of Nathan MacKinnon.

The NHL trade deadline came and went and the landscape of the NHL has become clearer since this time last week. It was a relatively quiet one for the Anaheim Ducks as their placement in league standings likely discouraged general manager Pat Verbeek from buying and the lack of pending UFAs on the roster prevented him from selling too much.

Although the NHL trade deadline has already come and gone, that doesn't mean the action stops for the American Hockey League.
