The NHL Trade Deadline
The NHL trade deadline has grown to become one of the most exciting days of the NHL season. While teams in the playoff race look to bulk-up for a late season push, teams waving their white flags seek to unload salary and acquire young assets.

Player Spotlight
Jeff Carter
Los Angeles Kings
This month's player spotlight is on Los Angeles Kings' forward, Jeff Carter. After two seasons with the Sault Ste.

Jeff has since played over 880 NHL games, amassing over 650 points. Now in his 13th NHL season, the decorated forward has two Stanley Cup Championships, a Calder Cup Championship, and an Olympic Gold Medal.  
In 2012, Jeff was the cornerstone piece of a deadline deal between the Los Angeles Kings and Columbus Blue Jackets.

Most recently, Jeff has returned the King's lineup after a lengthy injury. Check out the article below as the King's discuss their excitement for Jeff's return.
