The countdown to the NHL regular season is officially on. With less than a week until action begins, many players are geared up and ready to go, while others may be feeling a bit more on edge.
Last season was a lost one for Sonny Milano. In 2024-25, the 29-year-old Washington Capitals left wing started with a subpar showing at training camp, some early-season benchings, and then an upper-body injury that caused him to miss 70 games.
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.
Daniella Bruce: Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon tweaked something on Thursday and is out with a lower-body injury. Coach Derek Lalonde isn’t overly concerned about it being a long-term thing.
Washington Capitals training camp is only a couple of weeks away. The 2024-25 season is almost here. With training camp and the preseason close to kicking off, there is speculation about how the forward lines may look.
Yaroslav Askarov and former Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman are San Jose Sharks for the same reason. Both were committing the unforgivable sin of standing out in the crowd.
The hockey journey for Sonny Milano took a bit of time. It was a matter of finding the right situation for him and his game. The 28-year-old was drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets back in the first round (16th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Sonny Milano scored a goal in his fifth straight game and Charlie Lindgren made 31 saves to lift the host Washington Capitals to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.
