Who is Canada's best NHL team? An expert breaks down the red-hot Winnipeg Jets and the surprising Montreal Canadiens to start the 2025-26 season.

Patrik Laine's future with Montreal is now in jeopardy after undergoing surgery that will keep him out 12-16 weeks. It's unfortunate news for the Canadiens, but it’s particularly bad news for the player.

Struggling with a poor record, the Flames are probing the trade market early to address an offensive slump that has plagued them since last season.

On Wednesday night, the Calgary Flames attempted but failed to snap a six-game losing streak against the Montreal Canadiens, who entered the game having won four of their last five.

Recapping the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames where Jonathan Toews scored his first NHL goal since April 2023.

Lane Hutson, Juraj Slafkovsky and Jake Evans scored in the third period, helping the Montreal Canadiens beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-2 on Monday night. Oliver Kapanen also scored for Montreal in fifth win in six games.

Hutson, last season’s Calder Trophy winner as the NHL's Rookie of the Year, carries a $950,000 cap hit and is expected to command a long-term extension similar to the deals recently signed by Montreal’s young core, including Noah Dobson's franchise-high $9.5 million-per-year deal.

Cole Caufield scored the game tying goal with 19 seconds remaining, then the winning goal in overtime, to push the Canadiens 3-2 over the Predators.
