May 16, 2024 by Jesse Courville-Lynch
The Edmonton Oilers are getting ready to play Game 5 against the Vancouver Canucks after tying the series 2-2 on Tuesday (May 14) on a late heroic goal from Evan Bouchard with less than a minute left in the game, winning the game 3-2.

Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl has been dominating offensively and continues to be a leader at both ends of the ice as he enters the second-last season of his current contract. With Draisaitl’s contract situation being one of the main topics of conversation heading into the 2024-25 season, one writer cited Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski in his recent article, which mentioned that the San Jose Sharks could show interest in him.

May 9, 2024 by Alex Hutton
Our San Jose Sharks player reviews for the 2023-24 season continue with forward Filip Zadina. The Czech winger had a decidedly mixed season with the Sharks, managing some career-high points along with frustrating lows. Ultimately, Zadina’s campaign proved to be yet another example of his ability to demonstrate his potential while never fully living up to it.
