Six NHL clubs are circling Washington Capitals forward Ivan Miroshnichenko, a 22‑year‑old, 20th‑overall pick from 2022. Chicago is the only team confirmed to have spoken with the Capitals, while Philadelphia, Calgary, Seattle, Vancouver and Los Angeles have shown interest. Miroshnichenko, on a two‑year, $1.85 million contract ($925K cap hit), has played just three games this season with one point and totals 14 points in 55 NHL games. The Capitals gave him permission to explore trades, aiming for a meaningful return rather than waivers, according to Elliotte Friedman.
For the second week in a row, the Philadelphia Eagles are heading to primetime for an NFC East showdown against a heated division rival, even if, once again, this probably isn’t the sort of marquee matchup the NFL was hoping for when the schedule was announced. Before the season, sure. The Eagles have made the […]

The Washington Wizards slip below .500 after a 121-111 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 29, 2026. Despite a blistering 42‑point first quarter and a 50‑12 paint advantage that gave them a 10‑point lead at halftime, the Wizards were outscored 34‑16 inside the paint in the second half. Rookie AJ Dybantsa debuted with 19 points, a highlight‑reel lob dunk and his first NBA assist, while veterans Trae Young and Anthony Davis struggled to steady the team. Cleveland’s experience, highlighted by a dominant third‑quarter block from Bilal Coulibaly, ultimately seized control.
Sunday Night Football pits a 1‑4‑1 Washington Commanders against a 2‑5 Philadelphia Eagles at Northwest Stadium. The Commanders, missing Terry McLaurin and RB Bill Croskey‑Merritt, look to boost Antonio Williams and Chig Okonkwo while running a committee backfield of Rachaad White, Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols. Philadelphia, reeling from Jalen Hurts’ season‑ending blood clot and a five‑game losing streak, starts backup QB Tanner McKee (426 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, QBR 35.4) behind a reshuffled O‑line. Both squads struggle to protect the quarterback—Washington allows 39.9% pressure, Eagles 41.7%—and feature porous defenses. Key injuries include Saquon Barkley’s doubtful status and Eagles RB Dameon Pierce on IR. The matchup tests two struggling teams' trenches and could signal a turning point for Dan Quinn’s tenure.
The Philadelphia Flyers fall 5-2 to the Washington Capitals, extending a skid that began with an overtime defeat to Columbus. Captain Sean Couturier bluntly labeled his teammates ‘soft’ after a lackluster performance, while the absence of wingers Owen Tippett and Travis Konecny was felt. Matvei Michkov sparked the Capitals with his ninth goal, praised earlier by coach Spencer Carbery. The post also notes Kirill Kaprizov’s scoring surge with the Minnesota Wild, a controversial early exit by Leafs’ goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, and Connor McDavid’s new NHL record of 13 straight opening‑season assists.
The Washington Capitals gave the tired and downright bad Philadelphia Flyers almost nothing in a fun 5-2 home-ice victory on Wednesday night. The Caps led for the majority of the game and shut the door for good during the second period. They easily beat a team they should easily beat. We take those. As I

Chicago Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson eyes Washington Capitals winger Ivan Miroshnichenko as part of a trade push to boost a 4-8-0 team that ranks last in goals and shot attempts. The 22‑year‑old former 2020 first‑round pick, who has logged 55 NHL games with six goals and eight assists, is also attracting interest from Calgary, Seattle and Philadelphia. Miroshnichenko has thrived in the AHL with 76 points in 94 games and helped Hershey win the 2023‑24 Calder Cup, but he’s no longer waivers‑exempt, prompting Washington to allow trade talks. Sources say the Capitals could demand a return comparable to the Egor Chinakhov deal, potentially involving second‑round picks and a roster player like Andrew Mangiapane. Davidson has those assets, making a high‑upside, though risky, acquisition possible.
AJ Dybantsa scored 19 points in his NBA debut, but the Washington Wizards could not hold off the Cleveland Cavaliers, who rallied for a 121-111 victory on Wednesday night at Rocket Arena.

Captain Sean Couturier, who scored his first goal of the season, blasted the squad’s effort as “soft,” saying they lose battles and lack grit. Coach Rick Tocchet backed the criticism, calling the play “pause hockey” and lamenting the drop in defensive intensity from last year’s top‑tier expected‑goals‑against. The comments spotlight a mounting pressure on the Flyers to reverse a nine‑game losing streak.

Former ESPN reporter and ex‑Trump press aide Britt McHenry releases a video explaining the viral incident that cost her a State Department role. She says she and a friend were harassed by a group heckling Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma and his fiancée, model Winnie Harlow, at a Washington Wizards game on Oct. 22, 2026. After enduring vulgar insults, McHenry threw her beer when the crowd began pelting them with drinks and towels, prompting an usher to eject the main agitator. McHenry claims she was defending Harlow and herself, expressing regret for not leaving earlier. The episode, captured by TMZ, follows previous controversies that have shadowed her career.

Sean Couturier registers his first goal of the year to tie the game 1-1 in the second period, but the Flyers can’t recover. Philadelphia posts 25 shots to Washington’s 30, and deals with injuries to Noel Acciari and Cam York. Coach Rick Tocchet’s warning about a strong start goes unheeded as the Caps dominate the matchup.
The Washington Capitals hosted the Philadelphia Flyers at Capital One Arena for the first time this season.

The Washington Wizards fall 121-111 to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Arena, despite an early surge. Rookie AJ Dybantsa shines in his NBA debut, scoring 19 points—including a highlight alley‑oop dunk—and adding 11 points in the first half. Alex Sarr contributes 18 points, while Trae Young posts 14 points with 8 assists. The Wizards lead 42-34 after the first quarter and hold a 69-59 halftime edge, but Cleveland rallies, outscoring Washington 25-14 late in the third to tie at 92 before pulling away in the fourth. Washington’s offense stalls, and the loss opens their NBA Cup campaign before a rematch with Charlotte on Friday.

Peyton Watson emerges as a bright spot, posting 22 points, 6 rebounds and a solid A‑ grade as he finds his offensive rhythm. Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell drops 19 points but struggles with shooting and defense (C‑), and James Harden’s defensive lapses cost him a D+. Jarrett Allen’s defensive presence (8 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks) secures a B, while role players receive mixed grades. The piece grades each player based on expectations and highlights Watson’s growing groove.
