The Edmonton Oilers and Boston Bruins have been strong teams through the first half of the 2020s. Boston has 221 wins since the start of the 2020-21 season and Edmonton has 215.

NHL insider Andy Strickland made a bombshell speculation that the Edmonton Oilers could land superstar forward Mikko Rantanen in free agency this summer.

The Sabres return home for an Atlantic Division showdown. The Buffalo Sabres face the Boston Bruins on Tuesday at KeyBank Center, aiming to put their 1-3-0 road trip, which ended with a 3-2 loss Saturday in Edmonton, behind them.

Speaking on Daily Faceoff ( h/t Oilers Nation on X) on Sunday, Yaremchuk argued the Oilers should prioritize acquiring Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic instead of pursuing Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson, who has been frequently linked to Edmonton.

An Oilers analyst has suggested that Edmonton may be shopping for some under the radar depth additions at the trade deadline, and named 4 players in the AHL who could be trade targets.

The West Coast road trip did not go well for the Buffalo Sabres. Ending with a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, the Sabres returned home after dropping three of the four games on the trip.

Believe it or not, it’s Jan. 28, and this is the first appearance by the Boston Bruins in Buffalo to take on the Sabres. Paul Hamilton has his game preview:

Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka had hat tricks, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 25 saves as Buffalo rolled to a 7-2 win over Boston.

Cabinet ministers who chose not to enter the leadership race include Anita Anand, François-Philippe Champagne, Mélanie Joly, Dominic LeBlanc, Steven MacKinnon and Jonathan Wilkinson. Former B.C. Liberal premier Christy Clark also chose not to run.

Kyle Connor scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets won their fourth in a row, 4-1 over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

The Hawks have a protected first-round pick from the Sacramento Kings, an unprotected pick from the Los Angeles Lakers and a $23.5 million trade exception from Murray’s subsequent trade to the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the Hawks are also just $1.3 million from the luxury tax line and historically haven’t been willing to go over.
