The Russian sniper is a restricted free agent who is going to command a significant new contract this summer, leaving the Golden Knights with a difficult decision, Travis Yost writes.
The Stanley Cup was handed out to the Carolina Hurricanes Sunday night meaning the NHL’s offseason has officially arrived.
The Vegas Golden Knights hired John Tortorella with eight games left in the regular season in a move that included firing Bruce Cassidy. But there were no guarantees Tortorella would remain the coach beyond this season.
Jaccob Slavin became the second American and eighth player to hoist the Cup and take home an Olympic gold medal in the same year.
Taylor Hall was a No. 1 pick in the draft in 2010. He was the NHL’s MVP in 2018. Now, he is a Stanley Cup champion.
The Vegas Golden Knights’ improbable run through the Stanley Cup Final came to a crashing halt Sunday night with a 3-0 loss to Carolina in Game 6.
Rod Brind’Amour praised Brandon Bussi while also expressing some measure of relief that the Carolina Hurricanes did not need to turn to their backup goaltender during this playoff run. Turns out the late-blooming goaltender came out of the bullpen after all and backstopped the Hurricanes to the Stanley Cup.
The difference this year came from all the new talent general manager Eric Tulsky added over the past 17 months to get over the hump. It added up to the franchise winning the Stanley Cup for the second time and first since 2006.
Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal has been named as the 2026 Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the most valuable player during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Carolina Hurricanes have been crowned as Stanley Cup champions. Goals from Taylor Hall and Jackson Blake backed a brilliant performance from Brandon Bussi as Carolina defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday night.
Jackson Blake scored at the 13:31 mark of the second period to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 2-0 lead over the Vegas Golden Knights after 40 minutes of play in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday night.
Taylor Hall’s goal at the 3:47 mark of the first period has given the Carolina Hurricanes a 1-0 lead over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday night.
The Flyers are working on a long-term extension to keep starting goaltender Dan Vladar in Philadelphia, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
Vegas Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella is playing it close to the chest, as the team did not reveal any potential lineup changes ahead of Sunday's Game 6.
During a conversation with TSN, Maple Leafs prospect Tinus Luc Koblar reflected on his growth this year and shared what it was like to face idol Sidney Crosby at the World Championship. The following is an edited transcript of the interview.
The narrative for the Hurricanes entering the playoffs was whether they would finally break through and win the Eastern Conference after coming so close in recent years.
Golden Knights coach John Tortorella is sticking with Carter Hart against the Hurricanes even though he is the first goalie to give up four goals in each of the first five games of a Stanley Cup Final.
Nikolaj Ehlers has had back-to-back three-point games, helping Carolina move within a victory of hoisting the Stanley Cup entering Sunday’s Game 6.
Needing a win to stay alive in the Stanley Cup Final, the Vegas Golden Knights will be without veteran forward William Karlsson for Sunday’s must-win Game 6 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
After the U.S. won gold at the Olympics for the first time in 46 years, Carolina’s Jaccob Slavin is one victory away from winning Olympic gold and the Stanley Cup in the same year, unless Vegas wins Games 6 and 7 to put Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin in that exclusive club.
It doesn’t appear the Carolina Hurricanes are going to shake up their goaltending depth chart as former starter Frederik Andersen remained the team’s third-stringer during Saturday’s practice.
