Date News Advice
Oct. 6, 2025 Howard was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday. - Howard, who was acquired by the Oilers from the Lightning in July, made it to the last round of cuts before being shipped off to the minors. While the 21-year-old winger will have to settle for starting the year with AHL Bakersfield, he should be on the short list of potential call-ups this year, and figures to make his NHL debut at some point during the 2025-26 campaign. None
July 9, 2025 McKenna will play at Penn State University during the 2025-26 campaign, he announced Tuesday. - McKenna is the presumptive No. 1 pick heading into the 2026 NHL Draft, so his stay at Penn State figures to be a one-year commitment. Regardless of who ends up selecting him next year, the 17-year-old phenom figures to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster for the 2026-27 NHL season. It's a huge get for the Nittany Lions after McKenna racked up 41 goals and 88 assists in just 56 regular-season games for WHL Medicine Hat last year, adding another 38 points in 16 postseason contests. None
July 8, 2025 Howard was traded to the Oilers from the Lightning on Tuesday in exchange for Sam O'Reilly. Additionally, Howard has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers. - Howard was reportedly uninterested in signing with the Lightning once he completed his collegiate career, and they were able to get something in return for moving his rights. Howard was the Big 10 Player of the Year and Hobey Baker Award winner in 2024-25 after posting 52 points in 37 appearances with Michigan State. He was expected to play his senior year of college hockey in 2025-26, but by signing an entry-level deal, it is likely he'll spend the upcoming season with AHL Bakersfield. Should the 21-year-old adjust to the professional ranks quickly, Howard could be an option to make his NHL debut this year. None
