So when the Rangers found themselves on the wrong end of a five-on-three power play in the closing minutes of their preseason opener Sunday afternoon against the Devils at the Prudential Center, it actually wasn't the worst thing for goalie Dylan Garand. "The PK stuff was actually pretty nice to get some reps in there," Garand said after the Rangers' 5-3 victory.
Last season Connor Ingram started the season off well with the new franchise in Utah, posting a .882 save percentage through his 22 games played while being on a tandem with Karel Vejmelka. Ingram would then play his last game on February 22, 2025. Without a lot of explanation, Ingram was then missing from action, with the Utah club calling up Jaxson Stauber to help Vejmelka take care of the net.

GM Doug Armstrong wanted to make the roster stronger without draining the prospect pool. He may have done that without breaking the bank.

"Yeah, happy for him," Ovechkin told RMNB's Katie Adler. "You know, wish him all the best. Obviously, we all miss him here, but you know, he's back on the ice, and I hope he's going to do well."
Hockey careers are strange beasts. Some burn bright and fade quietly. Others, like Dustin Penner's, explode in flashes of brilliance and then implode in ways that leave you shaking your head.

Shakir Mukhamadullin is a big, smooth-skating defenseman who has quickly become one of the more intriguing pieces in the San Jose Sharks' rebuild. Originally drafted 20th overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2020, he made his way to San Jose as part of the Timo Meier trade in 2023.

When the Arizona Coyotes said goodbye to Phoenix, we thought we would have to say goodbye to one of the NHL's best and most unique logos with the Coyotes famous kachina inspired design. The classic logo was used from 1996-2003 after the franchise first moved from Winnipeg. A 2020 survey named it the best sports logo in Arizona sports history. It would return as an alternate jersey throwback in 2018 and fully reintroduced in a highly anticipated return for the 2021-2022 season.
