The Philadelphia Flyers took care of business at home on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks, skating their way to a 5-2 victory over their cross-country rivals. They did all of that without Matvei Michkov, who missed the game due to a foot issue. Michkov took a friendly fire pass off his skate late in the third period of Saturday afternoon’s win in Edmonton. It was still bothering him on Tuesday with some swelling, but his X-rays came back negative. Tocchet says Michkov had an x...
If the L.A. Rams are going to get star right guard Kevin Dotson back in time to face the Panthers on Saturday, he will need to get back on a field soon. Unfortunately, Dotson missed practice again on Wednesday, just three days before the wild card game, and hasn’t practiced since being injured by the […]
The San Jose Sharks hopped a plane this morning and headed to Los Angeles for the second game in as many nights. This is a very important game for the Sharks because the team has a chance to move up in the standings, and while it’s still early in the season by playoff standards, it’s points like these that matter most. The Los Angeles Kings are just above the Sharks in the wild card race, and getting two points in regulation would go a long way for the Sharks. This is the third ...
The New England Patriots had Jared Wilson back on hand to begin the postseason.

Of the four Dodgers eligible for salary arbitration this offseason, relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol was the one with the easiest salary to predict.

The Chargers tried to get bigger up front on the offensive line by signing former Eagles offensive guard Mekhi Becton. That decision floundered and the 2025 campaign has been the worst season of Becton’s career. Per Pro Football Focus, Becton ranks 79th among 81 qualifying offensive guards after the regular season.

The Philadelphia Flyers took down the Anaheim Ducks inside a raucous arena in South Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring, but Trevor Zegras and the Flyers got the last laugh in a 5-2 win. Unfortunately, the Flyers didn’t come away from the game unscathed, with both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale leaving due to injury after a pair of questionable — at best — hits. The hit by Jansen Harkins on Brink may have been clean, but the shorter forward got hit up hi...
Injuries have thrust the Lakers into a position where they’ve lost wiggle room and had to rely upon nine players in recent games. It’s been a lot more bad than good as Luka Dončić and LeBron James have carried a pretty lackluster rotation to victories against the Grizzlies and Pelicans. It’s revealed plenty about some […]
The Long Island Nets returned to the court on Tuesday night for a rematch with the San Diego Clippers. The last time these two met was Sunday afternoon when Long Island walked away with a four-point win.

Some Panthers fans are citing Matthew Stafford’s three-turnover loss to Carolina as evidence that he should not win MVP. Do they have a point? Probably not — MVPs have bad games too — but it does bring up an important factor in Saturday’s wild card rematch on the same field between the Rams and Panthers: […]
With just under three minutes played on Christmas Day, Rocket’s forward Tari Eason bodies up Luka Dončić in the back court, nudging him just slightly to make his presence felt. The aggressive nature and culture Houston embodies nets him a hand on the inbound, a steal and a quick slam while Luka lies on the […]
While the Patriots may have been one of the more ideal matchups for the Chargers in the wild card round due to a lack of an elite pass rush, they’re still arguably the most balanced team in all of the NFL. Mike Vrabel has his squad as a top 10 team both total offense and […]
Jake LaRavia has had some great performances recently as he’s been implemented into the starting lineup with Rui Hachimura out. LaRavia scored 26 points and 21 points in back-to-back wins against the Grizzlies, helping LA begin 2026 undefeated. While the offensive production has been applauded, it’s the defensive display on a team that struggles on […]
One of the biggest debates over the past month has been the MVP debate.
