Rangers’ 3 Keys to a Successful End of the Regular Season
March 17, 2024 by Lucas Standel
As of this writing, the New York Rangers have 15 more games to play as the regular season begins to wind down. They have had a great season so far, as they are the top team in the Metropolitan Division and one of the top teams in the entire league. While it is good that they have had such a good season so far, they can’t take their foot off the gas yet as the rest of their schedule won’t be easy.
Flyers Can Be Legitimate Playoff Threat if They Find Consistency
March 16, 2024 by Justin Giampietro
The Philadelphia Flyers are in a good spot in terms of making the playoffs. They have favorable odds as is, and that’s great news for a team that hasn’t hosted a playoff game at Wells Fargo Center since 2018, as their last time in the dance was in the 2020 bubble in Toronto the whole way.
Canadiens Likely to Send Reinbacher to AHL but for How Long?
March 17, 2024 by Ryan Szporer
Like the selection or not, Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Reinbacher is undeniably polarizing. What shouldn’t be is the similarly undeniable notion that, once he arrives in North America, he should start off in the American Hockey League (AHL).

Oilers’ Sam Carrick Building Trust with New Team Since Deadline
March 17, 2024 by Jesse Courville-Lynch
The Edmonton Oilers have proven they are going all-in this season and made their intentions known with the acquisitions of Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick. While they have now each played several games and have been playing well in their roles with their new teams, Carrick has been standing out in a big way for many reasons. Henrique was acquired to add depth as an established two-way forward who had been solid with the Anaheim Ducks this season, and Carrick was brought in as someone to add internal competition and bring a physical game to the bottom six.
Should the Calgary Flames Draft Tij Iginla?
March 17, 2024 by Derek Olsen
With the NHL Trade Deadline gone and passed, the Calgary Flames look a lot different now compared to last season. Big-name players wanted out for one reason or another, and most got their wishes granted by rookie general manager Craig Conroy. Tyler Toffoli, Nikita Zadorov, Elias Lindholm, Chris Tanev, and most recently, Noah Hanifin were all jettisoned out of town and plenty of assets have been recouped in return. The team now has two first-round picks in the upcoming 2024 NHL Entry Draft; their own and the Vancouver Canucks’, in addition to seven other draft choices in the later rounds. The focus is clearly on the future of the franchise.
