The NHL began awarding the Conn Smythe Trophy to the most valuable player of the postseason beginning in the 1965 season. How many of the past winners can you name in six minutes?
After losing their first game in seven tries, the Blue Jackets would have liked to bounce back against the Islanders. Unfortunately, after a good first period, the Islanders took control and never looked back.

DENVER — The Avalanche fell to 0-2 after another uninspiring goaltending performance at Ball Arena on Saturday. Jack Johnson and the Columbus Blue Jackets scored five times before the game was halfway through and held the lead the rest of the way, defeating Colorado 6-4.
Jack Johnson signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets in July and is set to take on the Avalanche at Ball Arena in Colorado’s home opener. This is the fourth straight season that Johnson has been a part of the home opener, albeit it’s also the second time he’ll be playing for the other team.
Jack Johnson's back. The Columbus Blue Jackets signed the 37-year-old defenseman for the NHL league minimum of $775,000 last Wednesday. Even after his Blue Jackets playing days ended, Johnson has continued living in Columbus.
A veteran blueliner is returning to a former home. On Tuesday, the Columbus Blue Jackets signed defenseman Jack Johnson to a one-year contract. The deal will carry a $775,000 cap hit through the 2024-25 season.
The offseason has arrived for all but the two teams who are still taking part in the playoffs. For the rest, it’s time to examine what they will need to accomplish over the coming months. Next up is a look at Colorado.
The Colorado Avalanche have a few free agents this summer on the back-end, be it unrestricted or restricted that will more than likely leave for better contracts.
Everyone loves a good veteran in their locker room, and the Colorado Avalanche had not one, but two elder statesmen (in NHL terms) as regulars on their team last year.
We got a hint of it prior to the All-Star break, but it appears the Colorado Avalanche are not going to be afraid to rotate defensemen down the stretch.
Last game, the Colorado Avalanche went with Sam Malinski on the blueline, giving Jack Johnson a night off to rest his nagging lower-body injury. On Friday, it appears that’ll flip flop.
DENVER — Erik Johnson knew it would be hard to keep his emotions in check in his return to Colorado. He and the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Avalanche at home in October.
