After Connor Bedard's offseason injury and subsequent surgery, Kyle Davidson is now tasked with filling his spot on the top line. The post What’s Next: Blackhawks’ Approach to the Season After Bedard’s Injury appeared first on On Tap Sports Net .
The Minnesota Wild seem to have recovered from their early-season struggles, at least for now, but that isn’t stopping people from discussing how Minnesota could improve its roster. Trade talks are running rampant, with Joe Smith and Michael Russo confirming that Bill Guerin is looking to improve th...
Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but the Philadelphia Flyers have a goaltending problem. Coming into the season, it was assumed that incumbent starter Sam Ersson and newcomer Dan Vladar would compete for starts in a tandem situation. Given that Ersson has been with the Flyers for the last few years, it wasn’t a stretch to think that he would get the opening night start and have the lead in the tandem. But that hasn’t been the case. Vladar won the starting job out of training...
Waiver Wire Week 12 The hits keep coming. Marvin Harrison Jr. remains out after appendix surgery. Sam LaPorta is headed to IR with a knee injury and will miss the next four games. Ja’Marr Chase has been suspended one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey during the Bengals’ Week 11 loss to Pittsburgh. We’re more […]
Hockey is the ultimate team game. Your star players should lead the charge, and when they do, it is easier for depth guys, but there have to be games where the depth guys contribute In November, the Edmonton Oilers’ depth players have been nonexistent. Frankly, they’ve been awful. In October, the Oilers’ depth forwards chipped…
The School: University of Kentucky Record: 5-5 (2-5 in the SEC) Ranking: SP+ has them at 43. Mascot: The Wildcat (seriously, he has no “name”) and Scratch. The Wildcat is the one we all know. Scratch is a wide-headed more silly looking wildcat that often has the jersey number “1/2” to be more kid friendly. […]
The Dallas Cowboys took care of business on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders and as a result people are feeling pretty good about them for the first time in a while. We all understand that Monday night was just one game and that this team still has a very tough path to the […]
There were two basketball games at Mizzou Arena last night. There was one game which occurred over the first 30 minutes of the Missouri-Prairie View A&M game, and there was a second game which occurred over the last 10 minutes. I’m going to do my best to not entirely focus on the last 10 minutes, […]
Despite abysmal defensive performances the last two weeks, there have been a couple of positives that have come out of the losses. One that is undeniable and something to hopefully build on and around is what we have seen from Walter Nolen. Nolen in three games has put up fine numbers, eight tackles, four tackles […]
The Los Angeles Rams did the thing that very few expected in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. With their cornerback group, they held one of the best offenses in the NFL to fewer than 20 points for the first time since Week 1 and held them to one touchdown after going 1-for-4 in the […]
There was hope going into the 2024-25 season for the Sixers. Daryl Morey used the cap space he created to lure nine-time All-Star Paul George away from the West Coast to play with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. That hope dissipated before opening night. Embiid missed the first nine games of the season because of […]

Manchester City heads to Newcastle United for a Premier League fixture that stands out above the rest of the Saturday slate. Man City comes in looking down at Newcastle in the standings, and boasting much better overall team fitness than their opponents. Rodri will be a 50/50 proposition, and will need to pass a late […] The post Man City at Newcastle Team News: Rodri, Anthony Gordon, Joelinton, Nick Pope appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Men’s Basketball Game of the Week: No. 2 Purdue defeats No. 8 Alabama, 87-80 Just a week after dropping to No. 2 in the country after a narrow victory over Oakland at home, Purdue completely redeemed itself with a massive win against No. 8 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Braden Smith was extremely important to the Boilermakers’ […]
I understood why Cairo Santos and Devin Duvernay received game balls from Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson during his “Good, Better, Best” post-game locker room speech. But I did not understand why cornerback Nahshon Wright didn’t get one. It was an odd omission from the Bears head coach. But for what it’s worth, we gave Nahshon Wright some love on The BN Bears Podcast’s latest installment. And I think you can understand why. LISTEN TO EPISODE 9 OF THE BN BEARS PODCAST: Apple | ...
The Philadelphia Eagles miraculously won another ugly one on Sunday night. After toppling the Lions, the Eagles are 8-2 and have the inside track to the first seed in the NFC. The win relied heavily on the Eagles defense, meaning Philly’s top two rookies contributed to this win. Jihaad Campbell: C Jihaad Campbell had another […]
The Eagles had an uneven performance in their win over the Lions, but they are now focused on the Cowboys. Head coach Nick Sirianni spoke on Monday about his philosophy on winning the turnover battle, gave credit to the defensive line for their selflessness, and lauded Jalen Hurts and his ability to find ways to […]
The Baltimore Ravens (5-5) have won their last four games and are playing arguably their worst opponent of the season at home. As a result, they opened as 13.5-point favorites for their Week 12 matchup against the New York Jets (2-8). This is the biggest spread in a Ravens game this season. They have won […]
Without a doubt, the outcome of the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was decided on fourth down plays. The Lions went for it on fourth down five times, and they failed all five times. For this article, I have little interest in debating the merits of each decision—that discussion has already been exhausted. […]
The Blackhawks are 9-5-4 and come into Tuesday night’s game in fourth place in the Central Division. The Flames, meanwhile, are 5-12-3 and in last place in the NHL. Calgary comes into tonight’s game with a 2-8-1 road mark to start the season. Since the Blackhawks beat them 4-0 in Calgary 11 days ago, the Flames are 1-2-1 during which they have scored only seven goals in four games. This should be a game the Blackhawks win. But don’t let it be a trap. Broadcast Info Puck Drop: &n...
Weeks ago, the history the 49ers were making was games without an interception. This is history that is much more satisfying. And it’s a history that started with Hollywood. Brock Purdy finished Sunday’s 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals 19-26 (73 percent completion), 200 yards passing, three touchdowns, and a passer rating of 133.5. So […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the Illinois Fighting Illini in their final home game of the season on Saturday, with kickoff slated for 6:30 p.m. on Big Ten Network. Wisconsin opened as 9.5-point underdogs, but the odds are trending in the Badgers’ favor as that line has already dropped to 7.5 points ahead of […]
