4 Nations Faceoff/NJHN: Hockey fans are finally going to get some best-on-best action next winter when the NHL hosts the 4 Nations Faceoff which will be hosted in the Bell Centre in Montreal– home of the Montreal Canadiens — and TD Garden in Boston — home of the Boston Bruins. Plus, the tournament schedule and broadcast information revealed as well.

Pittsburgh Hockey Now: What are the Pittsburgh Penguins? They’ve committed to Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang. They’re (rightfully) going to ink Sidney Crosby to another contract. Yet, Penguins General Manager Kyle Dubas is “urgently” trying to acquire draft picks amid revealing a rebuild strategy.

Boston Hockey Now: There’s been plenty of speculation over the last year or so, and yet, it isn’t certain what the Boston Bruins will receive in return when they likely trade goalie Linus Ullmark this offseason. What is, however, is that if and when the move is eventually made, it will have implications of historic proportions both for the Bruins organization and the rest of the National Hockey League.

San Jose Sharks: In an exclusive with Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now, projected No.1 overall pick, Macklin Celebrini explains he won’t be cheering for his childhood favorite team, the Vancouver Canucks, anymore (well, mostly). He also explained why he wears No.17.

Chicago Hockey Now: When the Chicago Blackhawks traded superstar forward Patrick Kane, that was a decision they didn’t make lightly. Since his stint with the New York Rangers, he signed with the Detroit Red Wings, however, it appears he’s heading to unrestricted free agency. That, of course, sparked speculation that Kane might return to Chicago, however, Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson threw cold water on that idea.
