There are no shortage of superstars who can put the puck in the back of the net but which player in the National Hockey League reigns supreme as the best goal scorer? TSN Hockey analyst Cheryl Pounder shares her thoughts.
Travis Green is sticking behind the Senators bench for the foreseeable future after signing a multi-year extension that keeps the head coach under contract through 2030-2031. Green, 55, is in his third season in Ottawa, having led the team to a 95–60–18 record and back-to-back playoff appearances.
This week, fans in Ottawa and Vancouver will get a cathartic moment when they 'welcome back' former beloved captains Brady Tkachuk and Quinn Hughes.
Other than winning a championship, nothing unites a fanbase more than collectively booing a returning player who left on bad terms. The raw emotion that fuels such a response is usually directly tied with how important that former player was to the franchise. With Brady Tkachuk and Quinn Hughes set to return to Ottawa and Vancouver respectively this week, Michael Farber examines what they are in for.
Yegor Sharangovich scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and the Flames held on to beat the Hurricanes for their second win of the season.
Danila Yurov opened the scoring for the Wild in this one, and Kirill Kaprizov netted his league-leading 10th of the season which would serve as the game-winner as the Wild bested the Blue Jackets.
The Hurricanes enter tonight's game riding a seven-game win streak and the Flames know they'll need to be at their best for a full 60 minutes against the defending Cup champs.
During an appearance at Chuck's Roadhouse, Easton Cowan revealed that on a first date with his now girlfriend he ordered chocolate milk. "Getting a lot of chirps about it," the Leafs winger said with a sheepish smile following Saturday's morning skate. Who's giving him the hardest time? "A lot of people," he said. "Yeah, not good."
After playing just 6:36 and getting benched on Thursday, Gavin McKenna logged a career high 17:56 and matched a career high with four shots on Saturday. "He was good," said captain Auston Matthews. "I mean, I think you can just tell, like, I don't think anything really shakes him."
The Leafs mustered just one goal in Saturday's loss to the undermanned Islanders. "Our lack of fortitude to get to the inside makes it disappointing," coach Jim Hiller said. "You got to get inside and you got to get some pucks around [the net] and try to create some chaos."
Sergei Bobrovsky is remaining upbeat despite starting his Leafs career 1-3-2 with an .891 save percentage. "It is what it is," the 38-year-old goalie said. "I stay patient and I prepare myself for the next shot ... I'm confident. I feel good about my game."
The Leafs have dropped four of five games to fall to last place in the Atlantic Division. "We need urgency," said captain Auston Matthews. "We've got to be better in all areas. Starting with myself, starting with the leaders and veterans, I think we all got another level to show."
TSN Hockey analyst Cameron Gaunce joins Mark Roe to discuss if he thinks Cole Caufield will score 50 goals for a second straight season, how Gavin McKenna looked in his first game since being benched, and if this is the most complete Oilers team we've seen in the Connor McDavid era.
Cole Caufield scored his second goal of the game 54 seconds into overtime to lift the Canadiens over the Sabres on Saturday night. Jacob Fowler stopped 23 shots in his fourth start in five games.
Bo Horvat scored the winning goal with less than two minutes remaining in the second period and added an assist to help the Islanders beat the Maple Leafs on Saturday night, handing Toronto its third straight loss.
Mark Stone had a goal and two assists and the Golden Knights improved to 8-2 for the third time in franchise history by romping past the slumping Penguins on Saturday night.
Connor McDavid had two goals and three assists to record his 16th career five-point game, and the Oilers thumped the Mammoth on Saturday night to split a home-and-home series.
Marat Khusnutdinov scored in the third period and the Bruins beat the Kings on Saturday night for their fifth straight victory. David Pastrnak had a goal, Elias Lindholm and JJ Peterka scored empty-netters, and Jeremy Swayman made 25 saves.
Filip Forsberg scored a goal and added an assist to lead the Predators to a victory over the Blues on Saturday night. Jonathan Marchessault, Adam Edstrom, Ryan O’Reilly and Jack Drury also scored and Juuse Saros made 24 saves to help Nashville snap a three-game slide.
Four different scorers found the back of the net for Washington including a highlight-reel goal from Ryan Leonard as the Capitals beat the Devils. Logan Thompson made 29 saves on 31 shots to secure the win.
