The win marked the Rangers' first of the season and ended a period of poor home-ice performance from the previous year.

Thompson Overlooked in NHL Network's Top-Goaltender Rankings

Logan Thompson starred for the Capitals last season (31-21-6, 2.44 GAA, .912 SV%, 29.3 GSAE) and led goalies in goals saved above expected, but NHL Network ranked him sixth on its preseason top goaltenders list. The ranking leaves him outside the top five despite strong performance as Washington pursues a Cup with added talent and Thompson backing up Charlie Lindgren.

Maple Leafs Sign Bobrovsky to Three-Year Deal, Eyes Playoff Return

Toronto Maple Leafs sign Sergei Bobrovsky to a three-year, $7 million AAV contract, betting his playoff experience after guiding the Panthers to two straight Cup runs will boost Toronto’s chances; the 37-year-old departs a Panthers team that struggled in 2025-26, with Florida turning to Jacob Markström and Akira Schmid, while Bobrovsky adds two Vezina Trophies and 800+ career games to Toronto's crease.

Rangers add Korpisalo to back up Shesterkin, ignite goaltending duel

The New York Rangers acquired goalie Joonas Korpisalo from the Boston Bruins for a 2028 fourth-round pick and forward prospect Kalle Väisänen, making him the frontrunner to back up Igor Shesterkin after Jonathan Quick’s retirement and setting up a potential No. 2 goalie battle with Dylan Garand, who must clear waivers to stay on the NHL roster. Korpisalo, 32, has two years left on a contract with a $3 million cap hit and a 10-team no-trade list; Boston freed cap space with the deal, while Ottawa is retaining part of his previous AAV from a prior trade.

Panthers pivot net: Markstrom trade signals shift after Bobrovsky era

Florida Panthers acquire goalie Jacob Markstrom and forward Angus Crookshank from the New Jersey Devils for Evan Rodrigues, Jesper Boqvist, and Ben Steeves, a deal tied to Sergei Bobrovsky’s looming departure and aimed at a cap-friendly, competitive goaltending tandem with Akira Schmid. The move gives New Jersey cap relief and depth with Rodrigues and Boqvist as it pursues a broader retool. Analysts grade Panthers a B and Devils a B+, noting Markstrom’s age and recent form as risk but potential upside and a prudent, market-efficient reshaping of two rosters.

Vasilevskiy Wins Vezina as Thompson Is Widely Snubbed by GMs

Andrei Vasilevskiy won the Vezina Trophy with 114 points and 17 first‑place votes, while Logan Thompson, despite leading in goals saved above expected and posting strong numbers over 58 games for Washington (31-21-6, 2.44 GAA, .912 SV%), was left off the ballots by more than half of GMs and finished fourth. Ilya Sorokin and Jeremy Swayman finished second and third, respectively. An offbeat note from the ceremony: a Tampa police K‑9 unit reportedly detected a suspicious package in Vasilevskiy’s car containing the trophy.

From favorites to swept: Vegas ends Colorado's Cup dream

From favorites to swept: Vegas ends Colorado's Cup dream

Colorado’s season ended in a Western Conference finals sweep by the Vegas Golden Knights, driven by a collapse in offense, injuries, and shaky goaltending. Key forwards Necas, Nelson and Nichushkin combined for only four goals in 13 playoff games, MacKinnon went 13 games without a five-on-five goal, and injuries to Cale Makar plus others limited Colorado’s effectiveness. The power play went cold, and the team failed to adapt to Vegas’s defensive style, letting leads slip and failing to generate high-danger chances. Vegas benefited from strong defense and timely scoring, with Hart providing standout goaltending, earning a trip to the Final and leaving Colorado with offseason questions, including Nichushkin’s future and roster tweaks.

Dobes Shines as Canadiens Rally in Buffalo to Take 3-2 Series Edge

Montreal beat Buffalo 6-3 in Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead and keep the possibility of a home-clinching game alive. Rookie Jakub Dobeš overcame a rough start to stop 32 of 35, steadying the Habs as they struck for three goals in the second period. The Suzuki–Caufield–Slafkovský line finally supplied five-on-five offense, with Caufield scoring and Slafkovský collecting three assists, while Demidov and Evans added goals. Buffalo shuffled between Luukkonen and Lyon, with Lyon likely to start Game 6; Buffalo’s top line has been quiet, giving Montreal’s hot line the edge and forcing the Sabres to respond to avoid elimination.

Oilers Part Ways With Kris Knoblauch After Disappointing 2025-26 Season

Edmonton fired Kris Knoblauch after a disappointing 2025-26 season that ended in a six-game first-round playoff loss to the Anaheim Ducks; despite Connor McDavid winning the Art Ross, goaltending issues and weak depth, including a midseason swap that sent Stuart Skinner to Pittsburgh for Tristan Jarry, left the Oilers at 93 points (second in a weak Pacific) and underscored the need for a coaching change to maximize McDavid’s window as Knoblauch’s extension runs through 2028-29.
