The biggest and most chaotic day of the NHL Calendar is here! The 2026 NHL trade deadline is today (March 6) at 3 PM Eastern, with teams either loading up for a playoff run or selling players and preparing for the future. They are still in a playoff spot. The only teams in conference that play tonight either already have their playoff spots all but officially locked up or playing western conference teams. :News of deals often trickles in a little after 3 PM, so don’t be surprised if some things are announced after the deadline.
