The (Kings’) Kids Are All Right
The LA Kings are hurting, which is to say, they have some key players on IR. Primary amongst those were day-to-day Adrian Kempe and Mikey Anderson on Thursday night, with Ottawa having made their way up the freeway from a game in Anaheim the night before.
Flames’ Quick Strikes in Second Take Down Lightning
Calgary Flames center Yegor Sharangovich scored two goals some 2:33 apart midway through the second period. Then, Jakob Pelletier added a third marker just 51 seconds after the second Sharangovich goal and the Flames dominated the Tampa Bay Lightning, 6-3, in Amalie Arena on Thursday evening.

There Is A Reason to Bother
The Ducks’ and Kings’ arenas are maybe 30 miles apart, though nobody speaks of miles here. Rather, it’s time. On the weekends, it’s possible for me to get from downtown LA, where I reported on the LA-New Jersey game, to Anaheim, with a stop at home to walk the dog, all in time for the twin Canadian-American national anthems, sung just past 5pm at Honda Center.

HOCKEY VIDEO GAMES
NHL 23: Breaking the Illusion
NHL 22 was the first hockey game developed for next-gen consoles, and while it was very solid in every regard, expectations were that NHL 23 would build upon that foundation to deliver a truly game-changing experience. Did EA Sports deliver?
NHL 23 Coming on October 14th
EA Sports’ annual hockey video game – NHL 23 – will be released on October 14th, and as always, Inside Hockey will be here to cover it. The cover athletes for NHL 23 are Trevor Zegras (Anaheim Ducks) and Sarah Nurse (Team Canada). Nurse is the first woman to appear on the cover of the EA NHL hockey video game.

HOCKEY HISTORY
Retro Rangers: When “The Rocket” almost became a Ranger
The legendary Maurice Richard was one of the greatest players in NHL history, but the man who would later be called “The Rocket” got off to a sputtering start during his rookie season in Montreal and was almost traded to the Rangers.
Hockey History: “Dippy Don” was the Best Backup!
