Another night, and another round of emotions while dealing with the NHL’s greatest, or worst, mystery box — goaltender interference.
Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves, and Simon Holmstrom scored a goal and added two assists as the Isles used their biggest third period outburst since March 2023 to earn a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche before a crowd of 15,735 at UBS Arena.
The Avalanche shocked many with the trading of star Mikko Rantanen. But Colorado may not be done with trades -- and here are three areas the Avs' next trade could address.
Despite being a fan favorite and a key part of the Avalanche's recent success, the salary-cap reality forced their hand.
The Colorado Avalanche have reassigned forward Chris Wagner to the Colorado Eagles of the AHL. Wagner was recalled last Thursday and did suit up on Saturday night against his former team, the Boston Bruins.
The Colorado Avalanche have assigned forward Jere Innala to the Colorado Eagles, it was announced Monday. Innala, a product of Hauho, Finland, has split time this season between the NHL and AHL, going pointless in 15 games with the Avalanche while collecting 15 points in 21 games with the Eagles.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong is starting to remove dead weight from his roster, but that process won't be easy.
The Mikko Rantanen trade brought up NHL speculation about the futures of the Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner and Penguins' Sidney Crosby, which were quickly addressed.
The New York Rangers has a rough night on Tuesday. Not only did the team fall further back in the Metropolitan Division standings with a 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes at home, but they also helped validate every part of the blockbuster Mikko Rantanen trade.
