Scenes from morning skate: Signs point to Öhgren as a possible scratch for Canucks vs. Red Wings

The Canucks (2-8-1) host the Red Wings (3-3-3) at Rogers Arena Tuesday night, trying to snap an eight‑game losing streak. A morning optional skate suggests forward Liam Öhgren could be a healthy scratch after a point drought, while defensemen Guillaume Brisebois and Victor Mancini look set to suit up. Goalies Leevi Meriläinen stayed longer on the ice, hinting at a Kevin Lankinen start, though veteran John Gibson is slated for Detroit.

With The Truth in the building, Celtics give honest perspective on loss to Pistons

Red Wings receive worrying Dylan Larkin update amid trade rumors

Dylan Larkin’s trade request remains firm despite playing this season, forcing Detroit interim GM Shawn Horcoff to seek a partner for a blockbuster deal. Frank Seravalli reports that Larkin’s stance hasn’t softened after former GM Steve Yzerman’s exit, and stripping him of the captaincy did not mend the rift. Horcoff now aims for an equal‑value, top‑six player rather than draft picks, leveraging Larkin’s $8.7 million AAV through 2031. The center has expanded his approved trade list to ten teams, with the Minnesota Wild among the early suitors. Detroit must act quickly to secure a solid return before the market cools.

Fact or fiction: The 49ers need to trade for a wide receiver ahead of the deadline

The Niners Nation piece debunks the rumor that San Francisco must trade for a wide receiver before the deadline. After a shaky Week 6 win over Washington, the author notes that the offense’s hiccups stemmed from a tipped third‑and‑3 pass to Brandin Cooks and a mis‑timed deep route, not the absence of Mike Evans. With Christian Kirk back in practice, Demarcus Robinson, Deebo Samuel and the rest of the corps healthy, the author argues the roster already offers more firepower than a potential rental like Colts’ Josh Downs. He concludes that the 49ers can weather Evans’ short layoff without sacrificing draft capital.
