Rumor: Top SHL Goalie Will Sign With Detroit
Swedish goaltender Arvid Holm, 26, is expected sign with the Detroit Red Wings this off-season, according to a tweet from Cam Robinson, Content Director and Director of Film Scouting for EliteProspects.com.
Playing for Rögle BK in the SHL this past season, the 6-foot-5 Holm posted a 1.90 goals-against average, a .925 save percentage and four shutouts while playing in 35 of his team's 52 regular-season games and was awarded the Honken Trophy as the league's top goaltender. In the 14-team league, Rögle was tied for the fifth-best goals against total but was ranked 12th in goals scored.
Rögle finished seventh in the regular season before losing two straight games to the 10th-place Malmö Redhawks in a play-in series by scores of 2-1 in overtime and 3-0.
Holm still has another two years remaining on his contract with Rögle but European contracts commonly contain escape clauses should the player receive an NHL offer.
Originally from Ljungby, Sweden, Holm played for the Ljungby-Troja, Karlskrona and Färjestad clubs and was a sixth-round pick of the Winnipeg Jets in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Holm played three seasons in North America from 2021 to 2024 in the Winnipeg and Colorado Avalanche systems, playing in pre-season games and serving as the backup for both teams in a handful of NHL games, but didn't earn any NHL regular-season minutes. In 71 AHL games, Holm had a goals-against average of 2.80, a save percentage of 2.80 and two shutouts.
Victor Soderstrom Wins Borje Salming Trophy As SHL's Top Defenseman Victor Söderström has been named the top defenseman in the Swedish Hockey League for the 2024-25 season. As a result, he has been awarded the Börje Salming Trophy.

Madrid makes debut as Imola dropped from 2026
The race in Madrid will run on a new 5.47km circuit around the Ifema exhibition centre between the Spanish capital and Barajas airport [Getty Images] The new Madrid Grand Prix will be held as the final race of an uninterrupted European section of the Formula 1 season next year. Madrid, to be held on 11-13 September, will be a second race in Spain and replaces the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola in Italy in a schedule that remains at 24 races. Advertisement Madrid's debut is one of a number of changes, most of which have been made in an attempt to streamline transport and reduce carbon emissions. Canada, traditionally held in early June, has moved to 22-24 May, the date that would have been expected to be filled by Monaco, which will now be held on 5-7 June. The switch ensures that Canada follows the Miami race on 1-3 May, creating what F1 describes as "significant freight efficiencies as some equipment can move directly from one to the other". Every race from Monaco on the first weekend in June to Madrid is then in Europe, before the Azerbaijan event on 25-27 September kicks off the final intercontinental part of the season. Advertisement The moves are in line with F1's new rules, in which revised engines run on 100% sustainable fuels. The season starts in Melbourne, Australia, on 6-8 March. The Bahrain Grand Prix, which has become the most common opening race, is again in April as a result of the timing of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Bahrain and the Saudi Arabian race will be held a week apart, but unlike this year there is a two-week gap between the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix in March after Australia, rather than the one of this season. The British Grand Prix will be held on 3-5 July, and the season will mark the final appearance of the Dutch Grand Prix. It will be held at Zandvoort on 21-23 August. Advertisement The traditional Spanish race at Barcelona retains its place on 12-14 June as it fulfils the last year of its existing contract. The season ends with two groups of three races on consecutive weekends - the US Grand Prix in Austin on 23-25 October followed by Mexico and Brazil, and then the Las Vegas Grand Prix on 19-21 November followed by Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which brings the season to a close on 4-6 December. 2026 F1 calendar Australia - 6-8 March China - 13-15 March Japan - 27-29 March Bahrain - 10-12 April Saudi Arabia - 17-19 April Miami - 1-3 May Canada - 22-24 May Monaco - 5-7 June Spain (Barcelona) - 12-14 June Advertisement Austria - 26-28 June Great Britain - 3-5 July Belgium - 17-19 July Hungary - 24-26 July Netherlands - 21-23 August Italy - 4-6 September Spain (Madrid) - 11-13 September Azerbaijan - 25-27 September Singapore - 9-11 October United States (Austin) - 23-25 October Mexico - 30 October-1 November Brazil - 6-8 November Las Vegas - 19-21 November Qatar - 27-29 November Abu Dhabi - 4-6 December

Panthers and Oilers engage in all-out brawl as Florida takes control of Stanley Cup Final in Game 3 victory
While fighting is a regularity in the NHL, there's a low percentage of it happening in Stanley Cup Playoff games. Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, though, saw an all-out brawl in the Florida Panthers' lopsided victory over the Edmonton Oilers to take a 2-1 lead in the series. In their first home game of the best-of-seven series, the Panthers took full advantage, and the Oilers tried to get even in a physical way instead of on the scoreboard. The game was already 5-1 in favor of Florida when things were getting more chippy on the ice. It reached a different level when Edmonton forward Trent Federic started to pick on Sam Bennett to the point where he cross-checked him down to the ice, and Bennett retaliated with some punches as he got on top of Federic. That initial fight led every player on the ice to find a partner to duel with, and the referees simply let the brawl play itself out. The Oilers' Darnell Nurse and the Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich clutched each other's sweaters and were throwing haymakers, while Florida's A.J. Greer dueled with Edmonton's Mattias Ekholm. After the fights fizzled out, Nurse, Godjovich, Bennett, Federic, Greer and Ekholm were all called for game misconducts and sent off the ice for the remainder of the game. But, with nearly half of the third period still to play, the tension between these two teams vying for Lord Stanley's Cup didn't stop. It mainly came from the Oilers, as Evander Kane was sent off the ice for the night after slashing Carter Verhaeghe in the face while he was down on the ice. More penalties would be had as the clock kept ticking down, and at that point, both teams were just hoping no one would get hurt with much of this series left to play. Even at the final buzzer, Oilers star Corey Perry started jousting with multiple Panthers players, as fans started throwing debris onto the ice. In the end, the Panthers responded to all the over-physical play by the Oilers with a power-play goal to cap their 6-1 victory, as Evan Rodrigues hammered home a shot. Other than the fights, some tremendous offensive hockey was on display by Florida from the get-go, as Brad Marchand potted one past Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner just under one minute into the game. Marchand became the oldest player in NHL history to score in each of the first three Stanley Cup Finals games. But he isn't the only player to do so on his team in this series. Sam Bennett joined him in the second period after finding himself on a breakaway to the net thanks to Eetu Luostarinen intercepting an Edmonton pass at the blue line. Bennett went backhand forehand on Skinner, and buried his wrister top shelf to take a commanding 4-1 lead. Amerant Bank Arena went berserk as Bennett's goal led to an eruption of cheering on and off the ice for the Panthers. Verhaeghe also got into the goal column with a power-play goal assisted by Rodrigues and Nate Schmidt to go into the locker room up 2-0. Perry was able to get the Oilers a much-needed response with a power-play goal of his own at the beginning of the second period, but Florida's physicality, which was deemed legal by referees on the ice, ultimately led to Bennett's goal and Sam Reinhart's before that. Things came off the rails for Edmonton when Florida went back on the power play, and their top unit put together a beautiful display of passing ending with Aaron Ekblad's wide-open net to wrist home the team's fifth goal of the contest. It was truly a statement win for Florida, who have all types of momentum heading into Game 4 on Thursday night.
