TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger discusses the Maple Leafs' plan for Gavin McKenna right now, Linus Ullmark's injury status, how tense things are around Rick Tocchet and the 0-2-2 Flyers, contract statuses for Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson, and how Tyrel Bauer has quickly become a fan favourite for Jets fans.
The Jets and Senators picked up road victories on Monday, with Winnipeg coming back to beat the Penguins and Ottawa shutting down the Bruins. TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins SportsCentre to discuss the Jets and Sens' strong starts to the year amid the adversity both teams are going through.
Cole Perfetti scored the game-winning goal just nine seconds after the Penguins tied it as the Jets used a third period surge to steal a victory in Pittsburgh on Monday. Alex Iafallo and Adam Lowry also scored in the final frame and Clay Stevenson made 29 saves for his first win since Winnipeg claimed the netminder off waivers.
Tim Stützle scored two goals in under two minutes early in the first period, with his first goal coming shorthanded and the second just after the power play expired, as the Senators beat the Bruins on Monday to move to 2-0 on the season. Drake Batherson and Michael Amadio also scored for Ottawa, which lost Linus Ullmark due to injury.
Jason Robertson had a goal and an assist, and Jake Oettinger had to make just 13 saves for his first shutout, as the Stars surged past the Sharks on Monday for their first win of the season. Mikko Rantanen, Miro Heiskanen, Joel Kiviranta and Jamie Benn also scored for Dallas, which handed San Jose its first loss of the year.
Brayden Point opened the scoring with his first goal of the season, Pontus Holmberg and Ilya Mikheyev had a goal and an assist apiece, and the Lightning shut down the Flyers on Monday for their second consecutive win. Philadelphia opens the season with four straight losses for the first time since 2014.
Are the Sharks the perfect fit for Connor Hellebuyck? Do the Flames have a real shot at having the worst record in the league this season? Is Evan Bouchard a legitimate threat to win the Norris Trophy? TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron answers these questions in Montana's Hot or Not.
Connor Hellebuyck's absence has opened the door for Clay Stevenson in net for Winnipeg but what can Jets fans realistically expect from a goalie who has just five NHL games under his belt? TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron shares his thoughts.
Clay Stevenson is set to make his debut in goal tonight for the Winnipeg Jets against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Winnipeg won their first game of the season yesterday, but could be in for a tough test against the Penguins who have had the Jets' number winning 21 of their last 24 games with the Jets in town.
After prioritizing play away from the puck early on, the Leafs focused on generating offence at Monday's practice, and there's one area in particular where the second line of John Tavares, William Nylander and Gavin McKenna can be much better. TSN's Mark Masters has more.
The Senators have won six of their last eight games in the last two seasons against the Bruins and they will go for a second straight win without Jake Sanderson tonight.
Alex Ovechkin will have an entire season to celebrate his incredible career and Domino's That's Hockey kicks off the reminiscing with TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron, who shares his best Ovechkin story.
Alex Ovechkin will officially be calling it an NHL career following his 22nd season in the league. SportsCentre takes a closer look at his decorated and illustrious journey in the SC Express.
Alex Ovechkin announced to his Capitals teammates Monday morning that this season will be his final in the NHL. Ovechkin, who turned 41 on September 17, is currently in his 22nd NHL season.
The Maple Leafs wrapped up their practice Monday with a spirited and intense game that pitted Team White against Team Blue. TSN's Mark Masters has more on the goal behind the drill to close out the session, the top line showing signs of breaking out and the extra work William Nylander put in with associate coach Daniel Alfredsson.
The chemistry development on the second line continues to be a work in progress for Toronto, but John Tavares and William Nylander believe some good things have happened with Gavin McKenna, they just need to be a little sharper to capitalize on their opportunities.
Gavin McKenna has yet to register a point through his first three NHL games but head coach Jim Hiller felt Saturday's game against the Senators was his best performance. William Nylander doesn't think there is pressure on the rookie to produce and believes when he does get going, it will come in waves.
After Alex Ovechkin announced this will be his final season playing in the NHL, fellow Russian Kirill Marchenko spoke about the influence he had on his generation of players growing up. Marchenko also discussed when he first learned about Auston Matthews and how he wore No. 34 briefly because of the Leafs captain.
One of the biggest adjustments new players have to make when moving to Toronto is actually off the ice. The traffic in the city can be unpredictable and unforgiving as Teddy Blueger has found out. Jack Roslovic has found a way to keep himself entertained during the commute, but won't reveal his secrets.
How much are the Senators going to miss defenceman Jake Sanderson? How has Ottawa's offence looked without Brady Tkachuk so far? TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins Domino's That's Hockey to weigh in.
With four goals and four assists through the Oilers' first three games of the season, one could easily make the case that Evan Bouchard has been the best player for Edmonton so far this season. TSN's Ryan Rishaug has more on Bouchard's hot start to the year.
