Nic Dowd and Andrew Mangiapane scored short-handed goals in the first period, Charlie Lindgren made 17 saves and the Washington Capitals won their fourth straight game with a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. Robert Marks photographed the game for Inside Hockey.
Third Line’s the Charm
Sometimes, the chemistry of a forward line just clicks, on no particular effort of coaching. Such is the case with the Kings’ current third line. The trio gave the Kings two goals in a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks Thursday evening in Los Angeles. The line carried the play.
Ducks Are Just Too Slow
The fans were buzzing. The action was immediate. The teams traded leads as the game went on. You think I’m talking about Kings versus Ducks, the game that took place on Sunday at 5pm in Anaheim? Not a chance. I’m hyping the Mets-Dodgers game that more than a few in Honda Center were keeping track of on their phones. At the very least, that other game, 25 miles or so up the road, featured offense. The one in Anaheim, not so much.
Late Heroics Propel Lightning Past Golden Knights
The Tampa Bay Lightning struck late in the third period with a pair of goals in Thursday evening’s 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The Lightning’s late storm served as a metaphor for the power and insight the metaphorical lightning bolts symbolize in the sky.

HOCKEY HISTORY
Retro Rangers: Bower and “Gump” Had Much in Common (Part 2 of 2)
Goaltenders Lorne “Gump” Worsley and Johnny Bower had a lot in common. Both made their NHL debuts with the New York Rangers in the 1950s, both have earned multiple Vezina Trophies, both are members of the NHL Hall of Fame and both played into their 40s and won four Stanley Cups during their long playing careers. And of course both also had to leave New York to achieve their future success.

NHL 25 Out Tomorrow
NHL 25 is due out tomorrow, and it marks the 34th iteration of EA’s hockey video game (dating back to the initial “NHL Hockey” released for Sega Genesis). Featuring the Hughes brothers (Jack, Quinn and Luke) on the cover, here’s a look at what to expect from NHL 25.
NHL 24 Fails to Deliver
The latest edition of EA Sports’ NHL hockey video game series – NHL 24 – is available now on PlayStation and Xbox. Last season’s release was quite disappointing, and our hope was that NHL 24 would represent a huge leap forward and take full advantage of next-generation console power. Unfortunately, it falls short and disappoints again this time, in some even more critical ways.
