We break down a massive day of NHL news, starting with Patrick Kane passing Mike Modano to become the highest‑scoring American‑born player in league history. We also dive into Rasmus Dahlin’s frustration with the huge number of Canadiens fans in Buffalo, the upcoming Stadium Series matchup in Tampa Bay, and Linus Ullmark’s return to the Ottawa Senators. From there, we look at the Columbus Blue Jackets’ surge under new head coach Rick Bowness and why the Eastern Conference playoff race has turned into complete chaos. To wrap things up, we run through every major NHL award race and where things stand right now.
