The New York Islanders are No. 9 in The Athletic’s 2026 NHL Pipeline rankings, anchored by Matthew Schaefer as a potential star defenseman, with Kashawn Aitcheson and Malte Gustafsson also strong blue-line prospects. The system isn’t particularly deep down the middle, and the club received a C grade for the 2026 NHL Draft.
Harry Potter fans forced the diversion of a £430m Greenlink energy cable to avoid Freshwater West beach and Dobby’s grave, prompting planners to reroute the 190km link between Wales and Ireland to land in Wexford; the project can now power about 380,000 homes after the outcry sparked by a BBC Wales interview.
Iraq and Syria signed a Washington pact to rebuild the 700,000-barrel-per-day Kirkuk–Syria oil pipeline, offering an alternative route to the Strait of Hormuz and reducing Baghdad’s reliance on Basra; the line has been shut since 2003. Gulf states are expanding pipeline capacity to hedge Hormuz risks, but analysts warn that pipelines alone cannot eliminate the broader threat Iran poses to energy infrastructure.
Canada and Alberta unveiled more than C$150 billion in investments to push a major new oil pipeline that would follow the Trans Mountain corridor and end at a southern terminal, capable of moving about 1 million barrels per day. The plan emphasizes Indigenous ownership, substantial methane reductions, and immediate consultations with Indigenous communities, provinces, and territories, while keeping the northern tanker ban in place. British Columbia backs safeguards and compensation for environmental risks, but First Nations warn of potential spill dangers, climate groups critique further fossil fuel expansion, and critics say taxpayers may bear most of the project costs and face possible overruns.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a public-private West Coast pipeline to ship up to one million barrels per day of Alberta oil to Asian markets, a policy shift aimed at boosting exports, addressing western separatism, and strengthening national unity. The project involves the Alberta government, Trans Mountain Corporation, and Pembina Pipeline, with funding details to be negotiated, and comes alongside a separate Canada–British Columbia deal to support LNG and mining projects.
Ottawa and Alberta signed a pact to fast-track a pipeline carrying more than 1 million barrels of oil per day to Pacific markets, a move the prime minister casts as proof of a “Canada that works” amid western alienation and a shift toward diversifying exports beyond the United States. The plan hinges on federal approval by October after Indigenous consultations and BC talks, a new emissions framework for Alberta’s oil-and-gas sector, and a carbon-capture hub; construction could begin in 2027 with first oil to a BC port by 2033–34, likely followed by private-sector ownership.
The United Arab Emirates plans to fast-track a second oil pipeline to Fujairah that would bypass the Strait of Hormuz, aiming for a 2027 start and potentially doubling export capacity from 1.8 million to about 3.6 million barrels per day, enhancing resilience to disruption while the UAE shifts away from OPEC and seeks greater autonomous export routes.
Saudi Aramco reported a 25% rise in first-quarter profit as it increasingly routes crude exports through its pipeline network, shifting away from traditional tanker shipments.
Novo Nordisk CEO says the company is actively pursuing acquisitions to broaden its GLP-1 pipeline amid growing competition in obesity drugs, citing assets like CagriSema and zenagamtide; Wegovy's strong Q1 performance lifted full-year guidance, even as Eli Lilly overtook Novo in weekly GLP-1 market share.
In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court said Michigan’s bid to shut down a 4.5-mile stretch of the Line 5 pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac will proceed in state court, finding Enbridge waited too long to move the case to federal court. The decision keeps alive Michigan’s legal challenge to void the easement and adds to a broader, long-running dispute over the aging conduit that critics say risks a catastrophic spill.
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Enbridge Energy failed to move the Great Lakes pipeline lawsuit to federal court, aligning with Michigan officials who want to decommission an aging section of the pipeline due to environmental concerns about the waterway supplying the Great Lakes.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Michigan's favor in its long-running effort to shut down an aging energy pipeline, allowing the state to pursue its environmental and safety goals in the dispute.
Oil resumes flowing through Sable Offshore's Santa Ynez pipeline in California after a Trump-ordered restart under the Defense Production Act, despite sharp objections from California officials and a history of a 2015 spill that closed the system.
President Zelenskyy invited Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to Kyiv to discuss all issues after a week of tensions over the Druzhba pipeline, which has been out of operation for about a month. Hungary and Slovakia want access to inspect the pipeline; Fico argues EU exemptions cover the deliveries and Slovakia has halted some energy shipments to Ukraine in retaliation. The leaders also agreed to form a joint investigative team to assess the pipeline’s condition following a phone call.
The European Commission urged Ukraine to accelerate repairs to the Druzhba pipeline after Russian attacks and Hungary’s double veto blocked a €90 billion loan and new sanctions, while Croatia’s Adria (JANAF) pipeline is identified as a viable alternative to keep oil flowing to Hungary and Slovakia. Croatia is examining whether it can legally receive non-Russian crude at its port; EU officials say there is no immediate risk to supply and Adria could meet the two countries’ annual needs, though no fixed timeline for Druzhba repairs exists amid ongoing political wrangling.
