Welcome to the 2018 Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Weekend. The four-day celebration features the Hall of Fame game, a fan Q&A with honorees, a legends game and the inductions of the Class of 2018: NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHL diversity ambassador Willie O'Ree in the Builders category, and former players Martin Brodeur, Jayna Hefford, Martin St. Louis and Alexander Yakushev. Here is the latest buzz from Toronto:
Hayley Wickenheiser will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday. Not bad for a girl who used to slink into the arena, hoping to go unnoticed, to play a game that belonged, at the time, to boys and men.
Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic scored for the first time since being traded to Columbus last month, and the Blue Jackets beat the Dallas Stars 4-3 on Thursday night to earn a split of the two-game series.
This year's hearings will be held in Toronto from July 20 to Aug. 4. Here's the full schedule, which we'll update as cases are settled, heard, and ruled upon.
Kyle Connor scored the winner in overtime as the Winnipeg Jets topped the St. Louis Blues 2-1 in Game 4 to even their first-round series at two games apiece.
Anthony Cirelli scored his first career hat trick and Nikita Kucherov added a pair of goals as the Tampa Bay Lightning routed the Winnipeg Jets 7-1 on Friday.
J.T. Miller has missed the first three games of the season due to COVID-19 protocols and the way his Vancouver Canucks teammates have struggled, his return couldn't come at a more important time.
