EAST MEADOW, NY -- New York Islanders head coach Patrick Roy is scratching veteran defenseman Scott Mayfield against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

The St. Louis Blues are trying to remain in the Western Conference wild-card race while NHL trade speculation swirls around captain Brayden Schenn.

There’s a very good chance that Swedish defenseman Robert Hägg will be returning home to play for MoDo Örnsköldsvik, according to HockeyNews.se reporter Mattias Persson.

The Detroit Red Wings freed up $3.6 million in salary cap space by trading goalie Ville Husso to the Anaheim Ducks.

Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan is aware that Joel Blomqvist, his young rookie goaltender, didn't have the best showing on Sunday in a 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers.

On February 2, 1971, Peter Mahovlich, nicknamed “Little M,” scored the first hat trick of his career. After being drafted second overall by the Detroit Red Wings in 1963, the younger Mahovlich failed to meet expectations in Motor City and was traded to the Montreal Canadiens with Bart Crashley in June 1969 in return for Garry Monahan and Doug Piper.

With the NHL trade deadline approaching, the Ottawa Senators and Colorado Avalanche have specific needs to consider addressing.

John Tortorella had Jakob Pelletier read the lineup before his Flyers debut. Now the young winger is set for a good look in the lineup.

Every trade costs something.

The Montreal Canadiens will take on the Carolina Hurricanes for the first time this season on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre. The last time the two teams met was in March 2024. Samuel Montembeault was in the net in a 3-0 loss, although the final lamplighter was scored in an empty net.
