Ivan Demidov's arrival with the Montreal Canadiens may be happening much earlier than expected. KHL club SKA St. Petersburg announced that they have mutually agreed with the player to release him from his contract early so he can join the Habs before the end of this season. KHL contracts normally don't terminate until later in the spring, which would have prevented Demidov from playing in another league.

The New York Islanders were a bit of a wild card as the NHL's Friday trade deadline approached. They didn’t quite take it to the wire, but did make one of the more significant trades expected this deadline.

The NHL Trade Deadline is one of the most important days of the season for teams looking to move around players to and from their rosters heading into the final weeks of the season.

A lot of the talk over the last week-plus over the course of the 4 Nations Face-Off – and that’s if you put aside all of the geopolitical chatter all over social media – has been about the Americans closing the gap on Canada when it comes to best-on-best hockey. And that’s true in a lot of ways.

The much anticipated finale to the 4 Nations Face-Off best-on-best tournament between USA and Canada hockey came and went—and it all happened at TD Garden, the home of the Boston Bruins.

Team USA and Canada Hockey are headed into overtime at 3-3 in Boston in the final of the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Team USA member and Boston Bruins star Charlie McAvoy suffered an injury to his shoulder in USA's win over Finland on Feb. 13 in the 4 Nations Face-Off.

A power play is strange when you think about sports more broadly. Most popular team sports, like basketball, volleyball and football, don't have a power play, or a player-advantage due to penalty, at all.

The U.S. and Canada have met many times in international events featuring NHL players dating back to the 1976 Canada Cup. Canada holds a significant edge in those meetings, but the gap between the two countries has never felt slimmer.

After what was one of the most entertaining hockey games of the year on Saturday night between the rivals during the round-robin stage of the 4 Nations Face-Off, USA and Canada will take the ice one more time in a best-of-the-best tournament final with the NHL's top players.

In an exciting twist to the typical NHL All-Star Game and Skills Competition, the 4 Nations Face-Off 2025 has taken the spotlight during the typical "all-star break" and feature some of the NHL's top players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Elias Pettersson, Auston Matthews, and many more.

When the U.S. takes the ice Thursday night against Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off, they will do so with the deepest and most talented forward group that has ever put on a U.S. jersey at the same time. The 1996 World Cup of Hockey and 2002 Winter Olympics had its share of Hall of Famers, but this group of forwards may just be USA’s golden generation.

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ll finally see best-on-best hockey during the 4 Nations Face-Off. Team USA is getting set to ice its best team on paper since the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City.

In an exciting departure from the usual NHL All-Star game and Skills Competition, the 4 Nations Face-Off 2025 will take center stage during the traditional "all-star break" in 2025.
