The Winnipeg Jets lead the NHL power rankings for the first time since November, but it's tight at the top. Plus, the blockbuster Rantanen trade has another big winner.

Tyler Bertuzzi starts seasons slowly. He did when he played for the Detroit Red Wings who drafted him in 2013. He did after joining new clubs like the Boston Bruins in 2022 and the Toronto Maples in 2023.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (20-24-8) have one more chance to salvage a good feeling from this extended seven-game road trip that seemingly began a lifetime ago with a joyous victory over the Buffalo Sabres and Alex Nedeljkovic’s goalie goal.

Kyle Connor scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets won their fourth in a row, 4-1 over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night. Mark Scheifele also scored and Rasmus Kupari added an empty-net goal.

Connor Bedard scored from a seemingly impossible angle, Arvid Soderblom stopped 34 shots and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1.

Landon Slaggert scored the go-ahead goal in his season debut as the Chicago Blackhawks opened a three-game Eastern Conference road trip with a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.

The lifeless loss against a team they should have beaten, and everyone else has, was the window into a team losing its belief in the mission.

However, the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes avoided the deadline-day frenzy with a blockbuster deal on Jan. 24.

Due to the Bruins' placement in the standings, president Cam Neely said the team is considering two paths for the trade deadline: buying or retooling. If the Bruins decide to go down the buying route, they have three needs they could try to fix. Let's discuss each of them now.

Pastrnak is getting his linemates going, and this trio is easily the Bruins' most dominant right now. If they continue to thrive playing together, it will only help the Bruins' chances of making a playoff push this year.
