NEWARK—New Jersey Devils captain Nico Hischier and Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk have history. And that history was revisited on Tuesday night amid the Devils’ 2-1 shootout loss to the defending Stanley Cup Champions.

The New Jersey Devils continue to learn some tough lessons on their way back to being a contender for the Stanley Cup. However, one thing is clear: this young Devils team is passing tests when it comes to playing physical hockey.

Jesper Boqvist scored twice in the third period and the Florida Panthers beat the Utah Hockey Club 4-1 on Wednesday night. Sam Reinhart and Eetu Luostarinen each had a goal for the reigning Stanley Cup champions. Matthew Tkachuk finished with two assists, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 26 saves.

Detroit is looking to respond after a 6-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, which ended its season-high seven-game winning streak. Two goals from Vladimir Tarasenko and one goal from Lucas Raymond saw the Red Wings pull within 4-3 just before the midway mark of the third period, but Detroit ultimately couldn’t find the equalizer.

The NHL announced that Matthew Tkachuk was named to the Calgary Flames Quarter-Century First Team. Here's a look back at his career in red.

Winning the Stanley Cup hasn’t been a burden to the Panthers. They’re sitting near the top of the Eastern Conference near the mid-season and having the regular season they wanted.

The Ducks, who had been goal-starved on this trek before scoring three in a shootout loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday, face Florida twice in a row in a home-and-home set that begins Saturday.

Ducks coach Greg Cronin liked how his team put 37 shots on goal and won 55.2 percent of the faceoffs. The Ducks also outhit Tampa Bay, 24-12, but were let down by their special teams as the Lightning scored the game's only two power-play goals.

The Detroit Red Wings have more work to do, and that labor must -- from their perspective -- begin on Thursday night when they visit the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Fla.

Fresh off an emphatic 6-0 win against the Anaheim Ducks, the Philadelphia Flyers face a much steeper challenge as they welcome the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers to the Wells Fargo Center.

The NHL unveiled its picks for the Flames’ quarter-century team paying tribute to players who played a big part in the team’s competitive years.

The NHL announced the Calgary Flames' quarter-century teams early Saturday morning, featuring Jarome Iginla, Johnny Gaudreau, and Miikka Kiprusoff.
