The San Jose Sharks couldn’t be happier with the man they picked first overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Macklin Celebrini has quickly become one of the top stars in the league, and a stat the Sharks’ forward shares with Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby proves that he could be on his way to legendary status.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have lived with history for so long that it almost fades into the background. When your core stays intact for over two decades — when Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang have spent their entire adult lives wearing the same crest — milestones stop feeling special and start feeling inevitable.
It was an interesting week for the Edmonton Oilers. They pulled the trigger on a couple of trades, bringing in Tristan Jarry and Spencer Stastney while shipping out Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak.
Bobby Orr won the last of his eight Norris Trophies during the 1974-75 season. Can you name every defenseman who won the trophy since then?
Bill Guerin has never been shy about making bold moves since becoming general manager of the Minnesota Wild in 2019. From the buyouts of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, to the Kirill Kaprizov mega-extension, and most recently, of course, the blockbuster trade to acquire Quinn Hughes.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The Wild acquired Quinn Hughes last Friday. He didn’t waste any time: yesterday, he scored his first goal for his new club and helped Minnesota beat the Bruins 6-2.
The 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins season is all of a sudden circling the drain after a promising start made them the talk of the league through the first month-and-a-half.
Sidney Crosby doesn't throw around compliments lightly. When one of the greatest players in NHL history calls someone "one of the best in the league," people pay attention.
There are certain traits that hockey people recognize instantly. The quiet intensity. The constant push to get better. The refusal to be satisfied, no matter how much success has already piled up.
At 38, Sidney Crosby continues to impress. The Penguins’ captain already has 32 points, including 18 goals, in 29 games, and could enjoy a 21st consecutive season with at least one point per game.
Jamie Benn has never been the loudest voice in the room. He’s not the type to command attention with long speeches or dramatic gestures. Instead, the Dallas Stars captain has built his reputation the old-fashioned way—through consistency, toughness, and showing up when it matters most.
Sidney Crosby and Macklin Celebrini are connected as centers who were No. 1 overall draft picks, Team Canada teammates in last May's World Hockey Championships and by that fact that there's more than a little bit of Crosby in the way Celebrini plays.
Last night, the Canadiens won in Pittsburgh. Jacob Fowler was so good he’s officially been called the savior of the Canadiens. The Penguins, on the other hand, never recovered.
Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin continues to rewrite the record books in the National Hockey League — and The Great Eight reached a rare milestone in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have played through so many milestones over the years that they almost feel routine. When your core has stayed together for nearly two decades — when you have Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang wearing the same colors for over two decades — history tends to follow you around.
Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin have been the two faces of the NHL for more than 20 years now, and as Ovie recently said, they saved the league with their spectacular play immediately upon arriving.

The idea of Sidney Crosby eventually leaving the Pittsburgh Penguins has gained traction in recent seasons, despite the NHL superstar saying he has no plans to do so.
For every Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, there are far more players who fight and claw their way up the ranks to make their way into the NHL.

Crosby's future beyond next spring remains a top storyline hovering over the Penguins.
