The New Jersey Devils have been a very good hockey team this season, continuing to improve with a young core developing and maturing.

There's a secret that very few in hockey know: goaltending isn't voodoo, it's controlled chaos.

But take it from an actual goalie, there is a method to our…

The Philadelphia Flyers have been one of the better teams in the league to kick this new season off. That's greatly in part to new head coach John Tortorella, who has turned the team around. The Flyers walk into this date with the New York Rangers with a 5-2-1 record overall and they'll have extra meaning in Tuesday's affair. The Rangers were one…

The Flyers are off to a hot start and have done a great job at mitigating opponent scoring. This has less to do with strong defense and more with the play of Carter Hart.
