Which of the two Lucas Raymond goals was your favorite? The first one felt like the true climax, coming as it did with so much pressure and so many just-missed opportunities before it.
The four teams still in the running for the last Eastern Conference playoff spot on Tuesday could split cleanly into two groups: "next year" and "last chance."
Despite the absence of official confirmation by the NHL—which could come as soon as a Board of Governors meeting later today—everyone treated the Arizona Coyotes’ final game of the season like the last one ever. In front of a capacity crowd of 4,600 Wednesday night, the Yotes beat the Oilers 5-2. What happens next, presumably, […]

The Vancouver Canucks' goal song is "Don't You (Forget About Me)." I hate this song. I'm bored by its mumbled, repetitive chorus.
The Jets-Avalanche series was almost too easy to plot. In Winnipeg, you had a mediocre scoring team and hockey's best at preventing goals, led by another brilliant year from Connor Hellebuyck in net.
It was tough finding anyone who favored the Islanders over the Carolina Hurricanes before their first-round series. The Canes, aside from a little inconsistency at goalie, continued to be an exemplary NHL team this year, dominating possession of the puck and parlaying that control into the league's third-best goal differential. The Isles, meanwhile, always seemed to have something wrong with them, and it's surprising that they made it this far with the league's 22nd-best offense and 18th-best defense by goals for and against. If the Canes' bright idea is to shoot a lot and not get shot on, the Isles rely on a leap of faith: absorb a ton of pressure and pray that their netminder got a solid eight hours of sleep along with a balanced breakfast in the morning.
To start, I have to admit that the office space Defector rents in Brooklyn is more Fortress of Solitude than Daily Planet. It's great to have a physical location we can all call our own, and it comes in handy during times of need, but it is not hustle and bustle day by day. It's easy to go a little while without making the commute.
The Los Angeles Kings feel like an old team. Anže Kopitar, who's been oxygen for this franchise since his debut in 2006, remains a center-stage attraction at the end of his 18th year in the NHL.
Game 4 of the Oilers-Kings series was a blueprint for a Los Angeles victory. The Californians, who entered the playoffs lacking the offensive fuel of their opponents, won the shots-on-goal battle for the first time, and handily, 33-13. They committed only one penalty and allowed zero goals at even strength, after giving up three each […]
