(The Hockey News) We might get our first look at Kevin Porter, the other guy in the Mueller-Wolski trade, tomorrow night. Porter has been recalled by the Avalanche tonight, from Lake Erie. As far as I know, nobody was sent down to the Monsters. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

The Stars can't continue to get outshot by a 2-1 margin every night and expect to win a lot of games. Marty Turco stood on his head and bailed them out Monday night against the Capitals, but no such luck Wednesday in Buffalo. Not there was a lot that Turco could do tonight. He played extremely

Tomas Fleischmann had the goal of the game and the quote of the night after the Caps' 4-3 overtime win over the 'Canes. "It's just a little message: don't sit me out again," the winger joked after scoring the game winner with 1:40 left in the extra session. Fleischmann was

After nearly three days of waiting for the ruling on Matt Cooke's blindside hit which has apparently ended Marc Savard's season, NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell made his shocking decision: no suspension for Cooke. Consistency has never been one of Campbell's calling cards. His bizarre

Well, we had the score right, but we did not think it would take an overtime to do it. The Caps needed that extra frame to secure a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes at Verizon Center. It was Tomas Fleischmann doing the deed at the 3:20 mark of the overtime, taking a feed from Eric Belanger

from Kevin Weekes of CBC, As a league we've evolved from the days where breaking an opponent's leg with a slash to beat their team was the norm. But in today's game, we still face the challenge of blind-side hits. The mentality of that type of hockey is simply antiquated. It's tim

First, what a great hockey game. Even if Canes fans do not get real playoff hockey this April, the team has at least played its way close enough that we can have fun pretending for a few weeks. And lately that has been fun and mostly successful. The team continues to play good hockey. For me, t
