NHL trade deadline is Friday. It’s the time of year when we see teams that will be missing the playoffs ship out expiring contracts for future pieces and contenders go all in for a chance at a Stanley Cup championship parade.

The NHL trade deadline for the 2024-25 season is at 3 p.m. ET Friday. While a number of blockbusters have already happened -- including Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes and Seth Jones to the Florida Panthers -- there are some big names still reportedly available to contenders.

Brad Marchand to the Avalanche? Yanni Gourde to the Lightning? Here's one bold prediction for all 32 teams ahead of the trade deadline.

Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals is closing in on the NHL goals record of 894 held by Wayne Gretzky. Ovechkin has 884 goals and needs 10 to tie and 11 to break the record.

Alex Ovechkin scored the 884th goal of his NHL career to move 10 away from tying Wayne Gretzky’s record. The Washington Capitals captain beat fellow Russian Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Tampa Bay Lightning with four minutes left in the third period on Saturday.
