Sam Steel delivered a standout 2025‑26 season with the Dallas Stars, setting new personal bests while the club navigates roster turnover and salary‑cap constraints.

The Boston Bruins have named Michael DiPietro as their backup goaltender for the upcoming season, while other NHL clubs discuss trade possibilities, free‑agent interest, and roster changes ahead of the new campaign.

A look at five former New Jersey Devils players still seeking NHL contracts as the offseason remains largely inactive.

The 2026 NHL Draft will unfold at Buffalo’s KeyBank Center on June 26‑27, featuring a star‑studded pool of prospects, high‑profile trades and a multi‑platform broadcast that promises to bring the excitement to fans across North America.

The New Jersey Devils are mapping out their strategy for the upcoming free agency period, balancing re-signments, injuries and possible roster shifts.

With the 2026‑27 free‑agency period underway, the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement offers performance bonuses that let teams sign veterans like Patrik Laine and Alex Ovechkin to low‑value contracts. These incentives, however, carry cap‑over penalties if milestones are missed, forcing clubs to balance risk and reward.

A contentious trade involving Evgenii Dadonov threatened the Ottawa Senators with a lost first‑round pick, but a league ruling handed the Vegas Golden Knights a 2026 draft forfeiture and a fine, while the Senators successfully negotiated a reduced penalty.
