With the season winding to an end, the Flames head into Nashville tonight to face the Preds, looking for a season-high fourth straight win. The Predators on the other hand have struggled down the stretch, going 1-7-2 in their last ten, and currently sit in 14th place in the Western Conference, just two points ahead of the Colorado Avalanche.

Two Habs Showdowns to reveal Caps ability, for better or worse

The Washington Capitals will play the Montreal Canadiens twice in the span of 11 days in April. Both of the games are in Montreal.

This is the kind of thing that happens when your season schedule gets thrown together. Like they'd say in Montreal, c'est la vie.

But, if anything, the games should be a good measure of how far the Caps have come this season.

Any time the team goes 8-1-1 is good, but check those last 10 games out. There aren't many playoff teams in that stretch. 

That begs the question--how good are these Caps, really?

It's fair to say they're neither the team that started 2-8-1, nor are they a team that could maintai...

The Capitals have assigned first-round pick Filip Forsberg to the Swedish second division.

Forsberg, 17, will join Leksands of the Swedish second division for the 2012-13 season.  The Caps hope that the move will help him mature physically and earn more experience in a country and environment he is comfortable in. 

Forsberg was taken by the Capitals with the 11th overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.  Rated by some as a top-five prospect, he has a natural goal-scoring ability and great hands, two attributes that make him a mouth-watering talent for Caps fans.

Forsberg, who signed a three-year entry-level deal in mid-July, will be amon...

On this edition of the prospect report I will give the top 5 players most likely to join the Islanders this Friday at the 2012 NHL entry draft. Now this isn’t a top 5 of players available in the draft this is just my top 5 of players that I could see Garth taking in the 1st round of the draft.

#5 Morgan Rielly- Defenseman, Moose Jaw (WHL) 6’-0” 190lbs

Morgan Rielly comes in at number 5 with one requirement for the Islanders to pick him and that is; if the right deal comes along and Garth Snow ends up trading down a few spots. Rielly is projected to be a very good future NHL prospect that has a great offensive game. He missed most of last season with an ACL injury but is still considered to be one of the better offensive defenseman in the draft.

Prospect Report 5/30/12: Future Islanders Prospects Part 2

In this edition of the prospect report I will continue my look into what the Islanders and Garth Snow may do with the 4th overall selection in the upcoming draft. In the first part of the series I looked at some of the top rated defensive prospects in the draft. That article can be found by clicking here. This time around I will look at some of the offensive prospects that could be available at #4 and how they might fit with the Islanders.

We all know that unless the Islanders trade up to the first overall pick that they don’t stand a chance at getting Nail Yakupov so I will leave him off this list. The first forward I will look at will be Mikhail Grigorenko (6’-3” 200lbs) from Quebec of the QMJHL. Mikhail is expected to be the 2nd Russian taken in the top five after Yakupov. He is a big center-man with a high hockey IQ that helps him see the ice and generate points. His great vision and hands led him to 85 points in 59 games during his first season of North American hockey.
