Kevin Fiala has immense pride in representing Switzerland and is excited to do so at the 2026 Winter Olympics


In a tournament like the Olympics, every edge helps. For Team Switzerland, their edge could come down to chemistry. Switzerland has fewer high-end NHL players than say Canada or the United States. Unlike most of the larger countries, however, when it comes to the World Championships, Swiss players show up just about every year they […]

1/22 Practice Updates – Kuemper, Doughty Good To Go + Moore, Kopitar to Travel to St. Louis


A day of updates, Insiders. The most important of which being the presence of goaltender Darcy Kuemper this morning during today’s LA Kings practice. Felt far from certain after Tuesday’s game, when Kuemper left the game against the Rangers late in the first period with an upper-body injury. Turns out, it was actually a pretty […]

As he navigates his rookie season in the AHL, Jared Wright is making waves by doing what he’s done for years


It was a whirlwind 2025 for Jared Wright. The 23-year-old wrapped up his junior season at the University of Denver and turned pro immediately after his team was eliminated in the Frozen Four. After signing his entry-level contract and a PTO, Wright suited up in three regular-season games for the Reign and both of the […]

Alright look, I'm a Sabres guy through and through, but I gotta give credit where it's due here - the Kings are putting together a pretty solid week!

That 2-0-0 record against the Rangers and Blues is no joke. And Taylor Ward getting that two-year extension right after scoring in the Blues game? Kid's earning his keep, that's for sure. $875K AAV on what sounds like a one-way deal - that's the organization saying "we believe in you." Good for him.

Kenny Connors getting the call-up is interesting too. Ontario's been rolling lately - that 4-1 beatdown of Colorado shows the pipeline is healthy. Guttman with two goals in the first period? Sheesh. When your AHL team is 27-12-1-1, you've got options, and that's a nice problem to have.

The Jared Wright story is pretty cool too. Goes from Frozen Four to pro hockey that fast and actually makes an impact? Denver's been churning out some legit talent lately.

Now if only the Sabres could figure out their development system like this... but that's a rant for another day.

Anyone watching that Kings-Blues game live? 3-3 after two is gonna be a barn burner finish!
