The Montreal Canadiens have put together a solid December so far, going 7-4-2 for the 12th-highest points percentage in the NHL, despite injuries that just keep piling up. The latest of those is a four- to six-week absence for Jake Evans, out with an injury sustained in a knee-o...
The Florida Panthers were beaten 4-2 by the Tampa Bay Lightning in a feisty, penalty-filled contest at Amerant Bank Arena.
Eetu Luostarinen opened the scoring 5:27 into the action, on Florida’s first shot on goal, when he backhanded the puck out of the air off the shaft his stick with the assists going to Mackie Samoskevich and Evan Rodrigues.
With Steven Santini serving time in the sin bin, Max Crozier and Anthony Cirelli combined to work the puck up the ice where Jake Guentzel caug...

It was always going to happen at some point this season. While the first two match-ups during the regular season had their tense moments and questionable hits, things hadn’t boiled over like they did in the pre-season. That wasn’t the case in Saturday’s penalty-filled 4-2 win for the Tampa Bay Lightning over their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers.
Two goals, including an empty-netter, from Nikita Kucherov proved to be the difference, but it was the Lightning penalty killers that won ...
It’s been more than a year since Julien BriseBois handed out a long-term contract. Not since Jake Guentzel’s free-agent deal in the summer of 2024 has the Lightning general manager handed out a maximum-length deal, and with his time frame for extending his own players for eight years narrowing due to the new CBA, we knew he had to sign at least one more big deal. So he had to be getting a little antsy. Enter J.J. Moser. On Saturday, the team announced that the 25-year-old defenseman had agreed...
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-8) are favored by 5.5 points as they attempt to stop a three-game slide in a matchup against the Miami Dolphins (6-9) on Sunday, December 28, 2025 at Hard Rock Stadium. The over/under is set at 44.5 points for the outing.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers For the division, one of the most critical matchups of the year occurred this week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers had their first game of the season between the rivals, and for the division, this was a battle for the top spot in the division. The Buccaneers have lost their […]
Coming into the offseason, the Twins had three major needs to fill. First base has been, at least temporarily, filled after Josh Bell agreed to take his talents to the Twin Cities. They started to shore up the bullpen by acquiring Eric Orze from the Rays last month, but could still use 2-3 reliable arms […]
The Falcons have won two games in a row against a freefalling Buccaneers team and lousy Cardinals squad, but their last great challenge of the 2025 season is ahead. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in football, quarterbacked by a still-excellent Matthew Stafford, who is throwing the ball to all-world receiver […]
Last night I asked our usual weekly predictions question before a game, and as I suspected, it was the slowest response I have gotten in a while. With the holiday and the way the team has played this season, it’s no surprise. We won’t have as many responses as usual, but we will highlight the […]
This game probably doesn’t even matter. The Carolina Panthers could technically clinch the NFC South with a win and a Buccaneers loss to Quin Ewers and the Dolphins. The likelihood of both those things happening seems minuscule, but the Bucs are losing to everybody and the Panthers beat the Rams that one time, so you […]
