In the NHL playoffs, finding the line — and sometimes crossing it — is half the battle In the playoffs, NHL players do absolutely anything and everything they can to grind their opponents down: "It is a fine line."

“You know in your head if it’s a penalty or not. Whether it gets called or not, sometimes it’s a different story.”

Finding the line between what you can and can't get away with in the NHL playoffs is tricky. It also could be the key to victory.

Inside the Hurricanes’ multi-continent mission to get top Russian prospect Alexander Nikishin to the U.S. Nikishin is available for the playoffs after a six-day journey that took him more than 10,000 miles across six cities in three continents.

Chris Kreider on his name being in trade rumors: “I’m not privy to that information. I worry about what’s right in front of me. … I’m happy to be here.”

Gabriel Landeskog’s Game 6 was glorious. He won a Stanley Cup.

And he hasn't appeared in an NHL game since.

But he's still trying to come back, he tells @peterbaugh.bsky.social.

Will Borgen, 'a chameleon,' is fitting right in with the Rangers

Will Borgen is a chameleon, as one former coach said. Everywhere he goes, he fits.

A deep dive into the defenseman, who went from high school hockey to WJCs within a year, loved cheap movie nights in college, and quickly earned the Rangers' trust.
