The New York Rangers and Dallas Stars are currently the two hottest teams in hockey, as both clubs are riding four-game winnings streaks heading into the week. Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid leads the league with 114 points, five up on Colorado Avalanche foeward Nathan MacKinnon. Colorado\u2019s Scott Wedgewood continues to sit atop the NHL, carrying a 2.16 goals against average.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the very latest from Around the NHL.<\/p>\n
Former Maple Leafs McMann and Laughton off to hot starts with new teamsThe Seattle Kraken\u2019s fanbase are probably wondering what the Maple Leafs were thinking<\/a> seeing Bobby McMann<\/a> play in his first two games with the franchise. McMann has been shot out of a cannon for the Kraken, scoring two goals and one assist in his first game, followed by one goal and one assist in game two. McMann\u2019s played 18:04 and 19:36, is playing on the team\u2019s top power play, has eight shots on goal, and landed six hits. If McMann keeps this pace up, he\u2019ll be set for a massive pay day come July 1.Scott Laughton<\/a>\u00a0is making a huge impact for the Los Angeles Kings<\/a>. Laughton\u2019s scored two goals in his first five games with the Kings, is playing a huge role on the team\u2019s penalty kill, and there\u2019s already been plenty of his new teammates raving about how much of a factor he is in the dressing room.Nicolas Roy<\/a> has dressed in five games for the Avalanche, scoring twice, and averaging 12:58 a night, including as both a depth penalty killer and power-play option.Edmonton Oilers name Connor Ingram starter, Tristan Jarry riding shotgunIt\u2019s been a very emotional season for goaltender Tristan Jarry, and the most recent news that the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> are riding Connor Ingram into the Stanley Cup Playoffs is certainly not going to sit very well with the fiery netminder.<\/p>\n Jarry\u2019s had a very tough season, struggling on the ice to find his game, being shipped out of Pittsburgh to his offseason residence in Edmonton, and unfortunately for both sides, it hasn\u2019t worked out at all. Jarry\u2019s recently gotten into it with teammates at practice, he\u2019s shown terrible body language throughout warmups of games he\u2019s not playing, and for now, he\u2019ll be the Oilers backup goaltender behind Ingram.<\/p>\n Jarry\u2019s posted a 7-6-1 record with the Oilers, along with a 4.17 goals against average, and .855 save percentage. He\u2019s been indirectly called out by multiple teammates in post game scrums, as the Oilers know they\u2019re not going to get back to the Stanley Cup Final if they can\u2019t find a save with games on the line. Ingram, on the other hand, is 10-6-2, with a 2.70 GAA and .895 Sv.% in 21 games since getting called up.<\/p>\n Quick hits from around the NHLOilers captain Connor McDavid feels the NHL needs to review how suspension\u2019s are handed out, as it could be time to re-evaluate the entire process. McDavid spoke at length about the league\u2019s process, following Radko Gudas\u2019 five-game suspension for kneeing Auston Matthews<\/a>.Washington Capitals signed top defensive prospect Cole Huston to a three-year, entry-level contract, which kicks in immediately and once the NCAA season is over, expect to see Hutson in the Caps\u2019 lineup.Leon Draisaitl left Sunday\u2019s game against the Predators after a hard early hit from Ozzy Wiesblatt. Edmonton\u2019s star foward came back for a couple of shifts, but didn\u2019t return for the start of the second period.Reports suggest Buffalo Sabres\u2019 pending free-agent forward Alex Tuch is looking for north of $10 million AAV on his next extension.Artemi Panarin admitted he\u2019s going to be very nervous when the Los Angeles Kings visit the New York Rangers on Monday night. Panarin\u2019s been blunt recently, stating the Rangers didn\u2019t want him anymore, and much prefers for his first game back to be next season, and not only a few weeks after the trade.The Montreal Canadiens made a serious push to acquire Ryan O\u2019Reilly ahead of the trade deadline, but he stuck to his guns to ride out his contract in Nashville.Utah Mammoth extended Nick Schmaltz on an eight-year contract, worth $64 million total.PRESENTED BY VIVID SEATS![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/VS-Brand_16x9.png\")
