While Sharks coach Todd McLellan decried the legality of the tiebreaking goal, the Los Angeles Kings celebrated their latest, greatest escape yet. Down 0-3 just a few days ago, the Kings squeezed...

On Monday, they became just the ninth team in NHL history to force a Game 7 after falling behind 0-3 in a series, beating San Jose 4-1 at Staples Center in front of a frenzied home crowd. Though all 60 minutes were action-packed, this one was decided in a four-minute span in the third period. Justin Williams — who had a...

Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend’s events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it. It's said just about every year at this point, but is this, at long last, “it” for the Red Wings? When (insert star player here) left town, everyone thought that must...
The Philadelphia Flyers have no doubt they will be back at Madison Square Garden one more time with their season on the line.

But the Rangers kept it together in the third, withstood a late surge, and pushed the Flyers to the brink...
