Kings Romp To 2-0 Series Lead
Would the late-awakened beast known as Connor-Leon be alive two days after their near come-from-behind victory of Monday in Los Angeles? That’s the question people who filled the LA home of hockey had on Wednesday after the Kings won 6-5 in game one of the two teams’ playoff series.
Panthers’ Defense Stalls Lightning in 2-0 Win
An extreme hush draped Amalie Arena as the Florida Panthers maintained a 1-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning midway through the third period. Living through every shift was a test of will for the denizens who had hoped to see the Bolts draw even after the Game 1 loss.

In most modern-day cases, players move into coaching, scouting or broadcasting. But back in the days of the Original Six, those opportunities were few and far between.

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.
