NHL News & Notes: Malkin Gibson, Chaput & More

February 13th, 2019 In today's News & Notes, Evgeni Malkin has been suspended one game, the Anaheim Ducks have placed John Gibson and Chad Johnson on the injured reserve, Michael Chaput has been assigned to the AHL and Karson Kuhlman has been recalled from the AHL.

Miller’s Injury May Put Ducks in Uncharted Territory

Miller’s Injury May Put Ducks in Uncharted Territory

December 15th, 2018 The Anaheim Ducks are heating up at just the right time. At 8-2 in their last 10 games, Anaheim is keeping up with five other Pacific teams that have also gained momentum over that span. John Gibson and his backup Ryan Miller have continued to play large roles in this success, as expected. However, with Miller sidelined for about six...
View From the Crease: St. Louis Blues Goaltending

View From the Crease: St. Louis Blues Goaltending

November 28th, 2018 There's an old adage in hockey: "goaltending is 50 percent of hockey. Unless it's bad goaltending. Then it's 80 percent." There's plenty of truth to that adage, and few franchises have felt it more over time than the St. Louis Blues. They've had legendary goaltenders like Mike Liut, Curtis Joseph, Grant Fuhr, and even Martin...
Blues Fall Flat in First Big Weekend

Blues Fall Flat in First Big Weekend

October 15th, 2018 The Blues entered Saturday needing a big performance in their first back-to-back series of the season to right the ship after an inconsistent start to the year. Instead, they escaped with just one point, surrendering leads in both games in the third period. Now, they sit at 1-2-2 entering a critical Canadian road trip that...
5 Blues Fail-Safe Options If Allen Falters

5 Blues Fail-Safe Options If Allen Falters

September 20th, 2018 It's no secret: after the eventful offseason the St. Louis Blues have had, should they struggle to make the playoffs this season, it's likely the responsibility of goaltender Jake Allen. Allen's inconsistencies last season, and at various points throughout his career, have left the netminder as the major remaining question mark entering...
Sabres Have a Hole in Goal

Sabres Have a Hole in Goal

May 16th, 2018 One of the biggest questions to be answered by Buffalo Sabres general manager Jason Botterill is who will be his dynamic duo of goaltenders for the 2018-19 NHL season. The Sabres haven’t been winning much in the past seven playoff-less seasons. Not surprisingly, they’ve only had two goaltenders with a winning percentage (W%)...
Sabres Goalie Decisions Tougher with Ullmark's Success

Sabres Goalie Decisions Tougher with Ullmark's Success

January 5th, 2018 On Thursday, Linus Ullmark, an up-and-coming goalie with the Sabres’ AHL affiliate Rochester Amerks was named to the American Hockey League’s North Division roster for the 2018 AHL All-Star Classic. It’s his second consecutive All-Star selection. Last year, he had a sparkling 15-save performance in the Skills Competition, earning...
Robin Lehner - Is He Cut out to Be an NHL Starter?

Robin Lehner - Is He Cut out to Be an NHL Starter?

December 14th, 2017 In a season where the Buffalo Sabres have failed to meet expectations, Robin Lehner has been a popular target of criticism. While his statistics resemble that of an average starting goaltender, Lehner hasn't proven himself as a player who can be leaned on to steal a game, but perhaps he bears too much of the blame. The Sabres...
Lehner's Contract Is a Win-Win

Lehner's Contract Is a Win-Win

July 26th, 2017 The Buffalo Sabres have signed Robin Lehner to a one year deal for an unconfirmed $4 million AAV and avoided an arbitration hearing scheduled for this week. This deal is another smart move by new GM Jason Botterill. The key is that, remarkably, Lehner will still be an RFA when his contract expires. Lehner will become one of the...
Botterill Sets Up Sabres for Low Risks, High Rewards

Botterill Sets Up Sabres for Low Risks, High Rewards

July 3rd, 2017 For the first time in what felt like forever, the Buffalo Sabres were one of the most active teams on the opening day of the National Hockey League's free agency period for all the right reasons. On July 1, Sabres general manager Jason Botterill completed seven free agent deals to fill out not only his NHL roster but his also American...
Pouliot, Griffith and Chad Johnson Sign With Sabres

Pouliot, Griffith and Chad Johnson Sign With Sabres

July 1st, 2017 The Buffalo Sabres have signed two players on July 1, both on one-year deals. Both Benoit Pouliot and Chad Johnson are going to be given opportunities to cement their ability to help a hockey franchise and for the Sabres, the team is banking that one-year, low-risk contracts will pay off handsomely. Chad Johnson signs with Sabres, 1...
Avalanche Need Depth in Free Agency

Avalanche Need Depth in Free Agency

June 29th, 2017 After their dismal 48-point season and the fact that Matt Duchene seems likely to be traded during the offseason, it’s clear that the Colorado Avalanche are entering another rebuild. Therefore, the team should avoid making any big splashes when free agency opens up this Saturday, July 1. With holes at forward, defense, and now...
Flames Should Sign Familiar Free Agents

Flames Should Sign Familiar Free Agents

June 28th, 2017 The Calgary Flames have a lot of unanswered questions heading into the 2017-18 season, but it's unlikely they will find many answers among the available free agents this year. No, this summer the answers probably lie closer to home with a few familiar faces. If not, young prospects like Mark Jankowski, Hunter Shinkaruk, Brett Kulak or...
Coyotes & Chayka Busy Before Expansion Draft

Coyotes & Chayka Busy Before Expansion Draft

June 18th, 2017 The final weekend before the NHL's Expansion Draft has long been touted as having the potential to be an extremely busy weekend around the league. Teams with too many assets to protect were expected to make deals to avoid losing players for nothing, while other teams were expected to attempt to upgrade their rosters before the Vegas...
Coyotes Trade Mike Smith to Flames

Coyotes Trade Mike Smith to Flames

June 17th, 2017 The Arizona Coyotes and Calgary Flames were almost the first teams to break the ice on trades Saturday as the entire hockey community sits in anticipation, wondering what moves their respective teams will pull off. The Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres pulled off the first deal of the day though, sending Nathan Beaulieu to Buffalo...
