No Suzuki, No Problem: The Habs Are Alright

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki faces a four‑week injury layoff, but the Habs have responded with a flawless 4‑0 road streak, beating Chicago, Winnipeg, St. Louis and Dallas. Rookie goalie Jacob Fowler shines, while veterans Jake Evans and Phillip Danault step up, combining for key goals, face‑off wins and defensive reliability. The penalty kill improves to an 83.7% success rate (4th‑best in the league) and Fowler posts a .950 save percentage in shorthanded situations. However, the power play sputters at 30th place, scoring just four goals on 35 chances, highlighting Suzuki’s impact. The team’s recent performance suggests they can survive his absence, though questions remain about their offense when he returns.

KC Chiefs & LV Raiders Get Disappointing News About Dream WR Target Before NFL Trade Deadline

Both the Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) and the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) are eyeing New York Jets wideout Garrett Wilson as a game‑changing addition before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the Jets have firmly ruled out any deal. The Chiefs, hindered by injuries to their receiver group, need a post‑Kelce target for Patrick Mahomes, while the Raiders, faltering after a 3‑0 start, seek a young, 26‑year‑old playmaker to boost Kirk Cousins’ passing options. Wilson’s 1,000‑yard seasons and four‑year contract make him an attractive, yet unavailable, prospect for both AFC West rivals.

Report: Canadiens Set High Trade Price For Samuel Montembeault

The Montreal Canadiens aren’t rushing to move goalie Samuel Montembeault, who returns from a lower-body injury in November, says The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta. Montreal is willing to keep all three netminders—Montembeault, rookie Jacob Fowler (6‑1, .942 SV% with two shutouts) and Jakub Dobes (2‑2‑2, .853 SV%)—unless a deal blows them away. Montembeault, a pending free agent with a $3.15 million cap hit who logged 31 wins in 2024‑25, is on the New York Rangers’ radar after they lost Igor Shesterkin, with the Devils also mentioned as a speculative target. The Canadiens remain in a “wait‑and‑see” mode while retaining flexibility to trade if needed.

She launched The Linda Cohn Show podcast in July and partnered with Bleav in September, celebrating newfound creative freedom.

Chicago Bears Week 8 Flashbacks: A Pair of Walk Offs and a Franchise Record

Finally, the 2012 Halloween miracle saw Jay Cutler and Robbie Gould rally the Bears to a 23‑22 win over the Panthers, highlighted by an eight‑second, double‑touchdown swing.

Report: Teams Hesitant To Trade For Predators' $49 Million Defenseman

Nashville’s GM Chris MacFarland fielded interest in defenseman Brady Skjei, but several playoff contenders balk at his seven-year, $49 million deal (a $7 million cap hit through 2030‑31). Skjei, 32, has logged three assists in 13 games this season and holds a –7 rating. While his name circulates, the hefty asking price and cap constraints deter teams. Simultaneously, 27‑year‑old defenseman Nicolas Hague, with a $5.5 million cap hit and a six‑team no‑trade clause, also draws attention as Nashville eyes a younger blue‑line. The trade talks remain tentative amid salary‑cap pressures.
