Golden Knights’ Mark Stone, Alex Pietrangelo return to practice
Stone has been out of the Golden Knights’ lineup since Feb. 20, when he was diagnosed with a lacerated spleen. It led to a long-term stint on injured reserve for the second year in a row. Last season, the 31-year-old had a second back surgery in a 13-month window that led to him being out […]

The Ducks announced the deal Thursday before their penultimate preseason game against Arizona. Drysdale is signed through the 2025-26 season.

We’d consider them now more like the “Overachievers.” It took just six seasons for the NHL’s latest desert-dwelling expansion team to earn the franchise’s first Stanley Cup championship, through a five-game triumph over the Florida Panthers in June.

LAS VEGAS — When the Vegas Golden Knights entered the NHL in 2017 as an expansion team, their owner Bill Foley said his plan was to win the Stanley Cup in six years.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk went one step further than simply calling Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final a must-win for his team, indicating that the series hinges on what happens Thursday night. “You can’t make it a series unless you win this game tonight,” the Panthers star said as the […]
