Russia says CAS has ordered International Ice Hockey Federation to let Russian teams play its events
Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyaryov says the Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled that Russian national teams must be allowed to play International Ice Hockey Federation events. Degtyaryov posted on social media app Telegram that CAS overturned a series of IIHF decisions which excluded Russia from events in the 2026-27 season including the men’s and women’s world championships. The IIHF has barred Russian teams from its world championships since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russia also missed the Olympic ice hockey tournaments this year.

Connor Hellebuyck is joining the New Jersey Devils and is very happy about it. The 33-year-old three-time Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender met the media before New Jersey faced the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday and his eagerness to wear No. 37 for the Devils was evident. Hellebuyck spent 11 seasons with the Jets, including a Presidents’ Trophy-winning season in 2024-25, and helped the United States win gold at the Milan Cortina Olympics this year. He will share goaltending duties with 36-year-old Jake Allen. Hellebuyck has been skating in Michigan while trade talks continued. He has five seasons left on a seven-year contact with an annual salary cap hit of $8.5 million.
