Photo Gallery: Red Wings vs Flyers (03/05/2023)
Scott Laughton played in his 500th NHL game and scored the empty net goal to seal the victory. Brendan Lemieux played in his first game for the Flyers since being traded. He was a +3 and recorded 5 hits. The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the visiting Detroit Red Wings by a score of 3-1 during regulation.
Ducks Hardly Different After Deadline Day
Did the Anaheim Ducks get better or worse given what they did at the trade deadline? In case you didn’t hear, that was to trade away Dmitry Kulikov and John Klingberg, both of whom were sat earlier in the week to protect them from injury. So it was no surprise, and perhaps it shouldn’t have been much of a surprise that newish GM Pat Verbeek was relatively inactive on trade deadline day. Wait—that’s not right, is it?
Penguins Make Cap Space, Small Upgrades at Deadline
The NHL trade deadline is report card day of sorts for the league’s 32 general managers. The media and, perhaps most importantly, the ticket-buying fans hand out grades on how well the person entrusted with the wellbeing of their franchise did in improving their outlook. For Penguins GM Ron Hextall, the observers have weighed in – and it’s less of an A, B or F than an Incomplete.
Quick’s Gone But Lives On
“It’s a business.” With the trade deadline approaching and trades happening, I’ve heard this from hockey people, and even a couple of players, over the past few days and weeks. The words are often accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders, because when a favored player is moved along, there’s a sense of loss. And helplessness. Of course someone new is coming in the door, so there’s expectation, too.

Fantasy Defense Rankings: 2022-23
It’s hard to imagine a more perfect fantasy defenseman than Cale Makar, who combines elite skating and playmaking skills to consistently deliver point-per-game (or better) production from the blue line. Perhaps most importantly, he plays for an excellent Avalanche team, ensuring that his plus-minus rating should be a help as well.
Fantasy Goalie Rankings: 2022-23
It will be difficult for Igor Shesterkin to top his terrific Vezina Trophy-winning season, but with a young roster jelling in front of him, their improvements could make his job quite a bit easier. In particular, more goal-scoring support could certainly help improve his regular season won-loss record.

HOCKEY HISTORY
Goodbye, Golden Jet
As you mourn the loss of another of hockey’s most prolific and well-known players with Bobby Hull having passed away, think of the larger pantheon of Chicago Blackhawks players who have been lost of late: Jim Pappin, Tony Esposito, Stan Makita. Pretty big holes in the memory to fill, eh?
