On December 16th against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Leon Draisaitl recorded his 1,000th career point, becoming the first German-born player in NHL history to achieve this mark. Just days later, Sidney Crosby added a milestone of his own when he surpassed Mario Lemieux to become the Pittsburgh Penguins' all-time points leader.

NHL fans were in for a shock on December 12th when Quinn Hughes, the captain of the Canucks, was traded to the Minnesota Wild. In exchange, Marco Rossi, Liam Öhgren, Zeev Buium, and a 2026 first-round pick are headed over to Vancouver. After an abysmal start to the season, the dead-last Canucks were due for a change in direction. It was time to admit that their future pointed toward a rebuild, not a playoff push.

The NHL is in the midst of a pronounced youth movement, with teenagers and players In their early twenties no longer just complementing veteran cores, but actively driving team success. Where previous eras often required years of seasoning before stardom, today’s league is being shaped by players who arrive to the club NHL-ready. They are skilled, fast, and confident enough to take full control of games almost immediately. This shift is fundamentally altering how the sport lo

Following the 2024-25 season, the New Jersey Devils finished the year off with a 42-33-7 record. New Jersey was set to make an appearance in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs and was eliminated in the first round against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5.

The Boston Fleet took the ice against the 2024-25 PWHL season champions, the Minnesota Frost in search of what was theirs; a win vs. the Frost. The game made moves, not just in the standings, but in PWHL history. Adding one win to bring the Fleet to a 4-0 season marks the best start to a season by a team in league history. 

The 2025 San Jose Sharks are on another level. They started the year off not so hot, but something has gotten into them, helping them bring more wins to the Bay Area. Let’s take a look at how the Sharks have started their season and why teams need to keep an eye out for them.

Amid an already crowded Olympic-year schedule, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators jetted off to Stockholm last week for a special event: the 2025 NHL Global Series Sweden.

It's obvious things are working for Anaheim thus far, but is this hot start sustainable?

Last week, baseball fans were treated to the best two words in sports: Game 7. For many, the end of this World Series didn't just sting.

Sometimes the pain is about more than the final score, as one team's triumph is forever linked to another's heartbreak.

Today, players are opening the gate and helping that community spread beyond the boards. Player outreach programs are emerging as a defining aspect of today's game, and allowing the sport to grow into a space that is more accessible and welcoming for all.
