Absolute monster performance by 2026 draft-eligible defenseman Chase Reid in the OHL yesterday 3 goals, 1 assist, and 9 shots on goal

It's a cold, snowy, ugly evening in Calgary. But it's much nicer in here, AND I get to watch one of the best teams in the WHL (the Prince Albert Raiders), who have one of the top prospects for the 2026 NHL draft (Daxon Rudolph)? I'll take it

A Finnish forward... who played internationally with Miro Heiskanen a couple of times... is now available on waivers, a few days after Dallas likely lost Tyler Seguin for the entire season... 🤔🤔🤔

XAVIER WENDT GOALIE GOAL!!!!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 @TCAmericans

Jaxon Cover has become one of my favorite players to watch from the 2026 NHL draft class He's fast, incredibly crafty, and has impressive quick-strike ability in the offensive zone. Unsurprisingly, he's developing rapidly on the London Knights Here are some early season clips:

Make that 9 points in 11 games now for 22-year-old rookie Braeden Bowman He's been quite a find for Vegas, signed as an undrafted prospect coming out of the OHL

Hmm, thought it would be a lot higher

It speaks volumes about the Dallas Stars as an organization, from management to pro scouting to coaching, that the team is currently 2nd in the entire NHL and 8-1-1 in their last 10 games while having to rely so heavily on their #7, #8 and #9 defensemen all at the same time

The U.S. will be in medal contention this year, just like always, but it's reeeeally hard to see them winning gold with those goaltending options

Daxon Rudolph doing what Daxon Rudolph does best. @PARaidersHockey | #NHLDraft

This assist does a good job of showcasing what makes Mikko Rantanen such a special player First he uses his size and strength to shake off the defender, and then he uses his smarts and silky mitts to feed the pass out front Can't imagine trying to defend him

Connor Bedard staring down and jawing the Anaheim Ducks bench after scoring an empty-netter for his 2nd goal of the game and 4th point of the day. #Blackhawks

Definitely highlight reel worthy.🎥🎬 Jonah Sivertson, 8th of the year - beauty. 😍 @PARaidersHockey | #NHLDraft

Maddox Dagenais with two more goals last night, and they were both absolute rips 📈📈📈

Get to know the name Ilia Morozov Despite being THE youngest player in the entire NCAA the 6-foot-3 Russia is a Top 6 center for Miami, he plays in all situations, he's scoring at almost a point per game, and he's a best in all three zones Clips from a recent game (#18 black)

Yan Kuznetsov has really cemented himself has A Player for the Flames. Going beyond this goal, the 23-year-old defender has played more than 20 minutes in each of his past 5 games He went through waivers in the fall, and I bet a team or two is regretting not making a claim

We're all tied up 3-3 after 40 between the CHL and USA Like yesterday's game, the CHL has the talent but is applying it inconsistently, while the USA is playing harder and with more structure Should be a good final frame

Daxon Rudolph feeds J.P. Hurlbert for a cross-ice one-timer for some WHL connection and it's 1-0 for the CHL just 34 seconds in Hugely different start to this game for them compared to yesterday

Greetings from Lethbridge, AB, and Game 2 of the 2025 CHL-USA Prospects Challenge!

I would also like to point out that Lindell had to take on more responsibility for the Stars over the past couple of weeks after Thomas Harley went down with injury, and he hasn't missed a beat You could set your watch to Esa Lindell playing hockey, he's just that consistent
