Panarin left Feb. 22 after a Russian tabloid printed allegations from a former coach that […]

NHL vs. TikTok: Players find an ‘addicting’ outlet during the coronavirus pause

Brendan Gallagher is not a cop. He just plays one on TikTok. The Montreal Canadiens winger has lip-synced a scene from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” in which actor Andy Samberg’s character, detective Jake Peralta, sings The Backstreet Boys’ “I Want it That Way.” He has cos-played as both Dwight Schrute and Jim Halpert-as-Dwight Schrute from “The Office.” […]

The Wysh List: Stanley Cup contender tiers and long-shot dreams

The St. Louis Blues’ Stanley Cup victory last season has affected the NHL as if someone poured hallucinogens into its water supply.
