If “HBO 24/7” is a long-term relationship with two teams leading up to the NHL Winter Classic, then “NHL Revealed” is speed dating. The League’s latest reality show, produced in part by “24/7” creator Ross Greenburg, debuted on NBCSN on Wednesday and premieres on CBC on Thursday night. It follows a dozen players from the seven Stadium Series teams, many of who are not coincidentally Olympians. (The...

There were no water coolers tossed over in the Capitals locker room on Thursday. The Capitals have not won a game since Jan. 10 and have been outscored 17-7 during a season-high six-game losing streak. But if youre looking for a swell of emotion coming from the Capitals right now, theres nothing to see here. I have to be consistent, Capitals coach Adam Oates said....

Washington about to start a key five-game road trip....

The New Jersey Devils stunned one of the top teams in the league with their best offensive performance in nearly four years. They might not need nearly as much production against the anemic Washington Capitals, particularly if Alexander Ovechkin remains out. New Jersey hosts Washington on Friday night seeking its seventh win in eight meetings. The Devils (21-19-11) matched their goal total from their...

re starting to see some deals go down as the Olympics trade freeze approaches. But sadly, any traded player with fantasy relevance has been a dud thus far. This flies in the face of the general belief that a change of scenery will often help a struggling player. Devan Dubnyk gave up five goals in his Nashville debut. Ben Scrivens hasn't been bad, giving up six goals in two games with Edmonton - but...

Fifty games into the season, the Capitals are at a crossroads. They are in the throes of a six-game losing streak, their longest since losing eight straight under Bruce Boudreau just before the 2011 Winter Classic.

Jhonny Peralta, also snared in the Biogenesis noose that's strangling A-Rod, has been forgiven by his new teammate, Matt Holliday....

On several occasions this season, Capitals coach Adam Oates has made it clear that scoring goals has never been an issue with the Caps.

In five of those six losses theyve been held to one goal or fewer, including Tuesday nights 2-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators. During...

A few feet away, goaltender Braden Holtby talked about the distractions that have led to the Capitals six-game losing streak. Mired in their worst stretch in more than three years, the Capitals are desperately seeking answers right now and coming up empty....

d probably be chained to the Carolina Hurricanes' bench for the next week after doing what he did to Steve Mason Wednesday night. Adam Oates would have thought it was totally disrespectful . No, the 5-foot-5 forward didn't go all Ray Emery on Mason, he went into his trick bag and pulled off the move that Tomas Hertl made an international sensation earlier this season. Gerbe chased down a loose puck...

No. 1 Star: Ondrej Pavelec, Winnipeg Jets The Anaheim Duck entered their game with the Jets with a 22-game unbeaten streak at home.
