The Islanders are in a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday pattern over the next couple of weeks as they finish their brief homestand with the Devils on Tuesday before a seven-game western road trip.

The Habs went 2-1-0 during the first week of January and sit second in the Atlantic Division with a record of 23-13-6. The week started out with another chaotic comeback, this time against the Carolina Hurricanes, in which Juraj Slafkovský dominated the third period in a 7-5 Habs win. The Canadiens were then shut out by the St. Louis Blues in a Saturday matinée in a Jordan Binnington masterclass that ended two-zip. Montreal finished the week on a high note, taking down Dallas in overtime,...

The Panthers aren’t ready to turn their focus toward next season yet, but we do now know which teams Carolina will face in 2026, plus which matchups will be at home and on the road. Carolina finished the 2026 season with an 8-9 record and won the NFC South, which lands them a tougher schedule […]
Chelsea interim head coach Calum McFarlane was taking his first ever game in senior professional football last night at the Etihad.

But by the end of the night, they were shaking hands as equals, with Chelsea taking a rather unlikely point back […]

In the first semifinal of the 2026 World Juniors, Sweden got past Finland in a shootout to become the first team to advance to the Gold Medal Game. Canada and Czechia took to the same ice later in the day, each hoping to be the team to join the Swedes in the championship match. It was a very tight-checking start to the game, much different from how the game between the nations had been played on the opening day of the tournament in what was a 7-5 win for Canada. There were few shots and f...
Already down Devon Toews and Mackenzie Blackwood, the Colorado Avalanche faced a tough task in a rematch with the Florida Panthers on short rest.

I won't deny that I was very against the idea that both Drew Doughty and Travis Sanheim were named to the Canadian Olympic team on Wednesday, and I voiced those opinions on January 1 on The Hockey Show . I haven't changed my opinion on either player's inclusion on the roster when younger players like Owen Power, Jacob Chychrun, Noah Dobson, and Matthew Schafer are available to go and will be the future of the Canadian Olympic team long after both Doughty's and Sanheim's times have passed. Toni...

I hate to say it, but I wanted to see the Jets lose in Week 18 to the Buffalo Bills. It was only partially dude to positioning in the NFL Draft. Of course, as a result of the 35-8 loss combined with the Giants’ win over the Cowboys, the Jets did clinch the number two […]
First Period The Carolina Hurricanes took the lead right off the jump, as Nikolaj Ehlers tipped an early shot off of Jake Allen.

The regular season finale for the Chargers unfortunately came and went with little to highlight in their 19-3 loss to the Broncos. With the Bills beating the Jets on top of their loss, the Bolts are now set as the AFC’s No. 7 seed and will now face the Patriots on the road in the […]
The Buffalo Bills closed out their regular season in epic fashion, denying the New York Jets any momentum in what was very likely the last meaningful game at the original Highmark Stadium. Buffalo’s Week 18 was about so many things other than winning, from exiting as healthy as possible, to giving quite a few players […]
