Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports Carter Hart is supposed to be the goalie that ends the Philadelphia Flyers decades-long search for a franchise netminder. During the first two years of his career he flashed that ability and gave Flyers fans hope that he could not only be the player to secure that position for the next decade but that he might even be able to help turn them back into a Stanley Cup contender. None of that has happened this season. Instead, Hart has been one of the leagues ...

Calgary Flames goalie David Rittich was not going to entertain the question – not publicly, at least. After stopping 26 of 30 shots in the Flames’ 4-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last Sunday, he was asked if he had allowed himself to think that that start may have been his last in a Flames uniform.   The 28-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent who most certainly would help a contender looking to shore up its goaltending depth. “Don’t try and make a story here,” he respo...

  CALGARY -- They spread faster, can hit harder and now COVID-19 variants are the dominant strains of new cases in Alberta. Three mutated variants, originating in the U.K., Brazil and South Africa, are game-changers in the fight against the virus which will likely surge cases higher than Alberta has seen yet. “It is now that we have to act.

Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports With the Monday, April 12 NHL trade deadline fast approaching, many teams will be making their final moves in preparation for a playoff push. A stagnant salary cap and the upcoming expansion draft of the Seattle Kraken this offseason have seen some worry about a lack of moves at this year’s deadline.

Mikael Backlund, with two, and Andrew Mangiapane replied for Calgary (16-21-3). Jacob Markstrom stopped 25 shots for the Flames, who have lost four straight and eight of their last nine in regulation. Elias Lindholm had two assists. Currently the Leafs No. 1 option with Frederik Andersen still dealing with a lower-body injury, Campbells win streak equals a Leafs record shared by Felix Potvin (1993-94), Jacques Plante (1970-71) and John Ross Roach (1924-25).

CALGARY — Sheldon Keefe had 30 seconds to settle things down. The Maple Leafs head coach had just watched Torontos anemic power play — one loaded with talent, but stuck in neutral on a mystifying 0-for-29 run the last three weeks — surrender a short-handed goal to tie Mondays game 3-3 midway through the third period. There was still time for the Leafs to operate at 5 on 4, however, so Keefe sent the No. 1 unit back over the boards after calling his timeout in hopes they would regroup and ...
