Nugent-Hopkins scored just his second five-on-five point of the season away from Connor McDavid. It’s been an unusu

Connor McDavid won’t be the only Edmonton Oilers player wearing a captain’s letter on his sweater in the Four Nations Face-Off next month. Defenceman Mattias Ekholm has also been named an alternate captain when he suits up with Team Sweden in Montreal and Boston, running from Feb. 12-20.

Connor McDavid scored in his return from a three-game suspension, Mattias Janmark scored for the first time in 38 games, and Mattias Ekholm scored into an empty net.

McDavid was speaking to the media for the first time since he struck Garland in the head in the dying seconds of Saturday’s 3-2 loss.

For the first time in over a year, John Klingberg is set to skate on NHL ice. The defenceman will suit up for his Edmonton Oilers debut on Thursday at home against the Red Wings, head coach Kris Knoblauch said.

The Oilers captain was given a major penalty in the dying seconds of the team’s 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. This was due to McDavid cross-checking Canucks forward Conor Garland in the head following a lengthy battle between the two in the middle of the Vancouver zone.

Being in a U.S. market where hockey is the number one sport in the state, today is another example of why it’s great to be here,” Wild coach John Hynes said.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid suspended three games for cross-checking Vancouver's Conor Garland in the head.

The Minnesota Wild have recalled forward Devin Shore from the Iowa Wild, the team announced Friday. Shore, a product of Ajax, Ont., has split time between the NHL and AHL this season, collecting an assist in 25 games with Minnesota and 10 points in 14 games for Iowa.

Filip Gustavsson made 31 saves as the Minnesota Wild edged Toronto 3-1 on Wednesday, sending the Maple Leafs to a third straight regulation loss.

The Toronto Maple Leafs can’t score. Their offensive struggles continued as they lost 3-1 to the Minnesota Wild. Even worse, Wednesday night was their third straight loss and (of course) raises two questions.

You can look to John Tavares and Matthew Knies’ imminent returns and hope they can spark the lineup, but this is still a team with Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitch Marner. Offence should not be this difficult and they have the raw talent to at least make games interesting. Tonight was far from it.
