The injury bug completely ruined the Florida Panthers' 2025-26 season, and they missed the playoffs because of it. Now, they have several decisions to make when it comes to their roster this summer. The Panthers are entering the offseason with many pending unrestricted free agents (UFAs). Sergei Bobrovsky and A.J. Greer are the most notable, and it is likely that the Panthers will try to keep them around if they can. However, the Panthers have a handful of other pending UFAs who likely w...
Patrick Kane is one of the most notable pending unrestricted free agents (UFAs) heading into the summer. If the future Hall of Famer ends up hitting the market instead of re-signing with the Detroit Red Wings, he would generate a ton of interest. Due to this, let's take a look at three teams that could sign Kane if he ends up being a UFA on July 1. Colorado Avalanche If Kane wants the chance to play for a top contender, it would make sense for him to sign with the Avalanche on a sh...
The New Jersey Devils have some decisions to make when it comes to their roster this offseason. After missing the playoffs and disappointing in a major way, it would not be surprising if they look to shake up their group a bit. The Devils have two defensemen on their roster who are standing out as prime trade candidates this offseason. Let's discuss each of them now. Dougie Hamilton It is no secret that Hamilton would like a change of scenery, and the Devils would like to move his ...
Now that the draft is over, the Minnesota Vikings turn their attention to filling their general manager position. Interim general manager Rob Brzezinski remains an option if he wants the job, but an announcement today in Philadelphia may signal that the Vikings are going in another direction to fill their general manager position. The Philadelphia […]
Welcome to another night of Bruins hockey, folks! Ideally, this isn’t the last one until October, but that’s up to the Bruins, not any of you. (Unless you messed up one of your superstitions prior to Sunday, in which case it’s entirely possible this is all your fault.) I am not an analytics expert, but […]
Six years ago, the Seattle Seahawks hammered the New York Jets in an empty Lumen Field by a score of 40-3. Russell Wilson threw four touchdowns, Geno Smith came in for his first pass attempts as a Seahawks quarterback, while Jets starter Sam Darnold barely completed half his passes. The Seahawks are now reigning Super […]
It was a rough series for the Huskies last weekend in Eugene, with the Dawgs getting swept by the hated Ducks, in what was sort of a barometer series for the team to test themselves against tougher competition. Our own Andrew Berg suggested that it showed the team could generate offense, but struggled containing the […]
Ahead of Wednesday’s Game 1 against the Laval Rocket, Marlies head coach John Gruden discussed Easton Cowan’s desire to make a bigger impact in the second round, the matchup against the Rocket, the status of Matt Benning, and the decision to start Dennis Hildeby in Game 1. Easton Cowan said he feels like he can […]
The post John Gruden on Easton Cowan’s potential impact in Round 2 for the Marlies: “I know he is a gamer… When his back is against the wall, that kid will show up” appeared first...
For the rest of the week the outcome is simple: win and keep playing, or lose and go home. For the first time this season the Edmonton Oilers face elimination from the 2026 playoffs. Not many expected them to be facing elimination this early in the postseason, but this is their reality. They need to…
Oregon baseball stays at home for their midweek game before traveling to Seattle for a series against the Huskies. The #13 Ducks (32-11, 15-6 Big-10) host the Gonzaga Bulldogs (27-14, 15-3 WCC). The Bulldogs are a dangerous team, especially in a midweek game. They are on a 14-game win streak, and while the WCC isn’t […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are back home for Game 6 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night. After taking a 3-0 series lead, the Flyers have lacked the killer instinct to close out their cross-state rivals in their first two tries.
Rick Tocchet has made a few lineup changes in this series, most notably taking Matvei Michkov out of the lineup in favor of Alex Bump in Game 5. He’s also switched things up on the blue line.
Noah Juulsen got into Game 2 and stayed in the lineup fo...
The Ducks struggled to sustain early momentum at Oakmont, closing the conference tournament outside the top five for the first time in 22 events. Oregon women’s golf entered the 2026 Big Ten Championships with a chance to defend last year’s conference title, but the Ducks could not build enough momentum over three rounds at Oakmont […]
The Minnesota Wild are in the middle of a knockdown, drag-out playoff series with the rival Dallas Stars. Many players on the team deserve recognition for their contributions to the 2-2 series deadlock. Matt Boldy is emerging as a superstar, and Brock Faber has made significant strides. Still, perha...
I’m writing this before the Yankees take on the Rangers Monday night, so it’s subject to change, but at this moment Jazz Chisholm Jr. is the worst player in baseball when it comes to the ABS challenge system. His 14 percent success rate is the lowest in the sport, and this weekend against the Astros […]

Aleksej Kostić is no stranger to high-level competition. Kostić, the sixth transfer addition for Northwestern men’s basketball this offseason, made his professional debut at 16 years old with the Arkadia Traiskirchen Lions of the Austrian Basketball Superliga. After four seasons in Austria, Kostić transitioned to the college game at BYU. He appeared in 27 games […]
For those following the saga of suspended Portland Trail Blazers Coach Chauncey Billups, one of the figures who was indicted on federal gambling charges last fall—ex-NBA player Damon Jones—pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud related to illegal gambling. Jones is the first defendant in the NBA-related cases to admit his […]
The Edmonton Oilers are down 3-1 in their first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks . Game 5 tonight is a win-or-go-home affair for the Oil. And now we've learned that there's a chance they may have to face it without the best player in the world. Head coach Kris Knoblauch told the media Tuesday after the game-day skate that Connor McDavid, as well as Jason Dickinson, are "game-time decisions". EDM coach Kris Knoblauch says Connor McDavid and Jason Dickinson are game-time decisi...
The Edmonton Oilers are going back to their starting goaltender heading into Game 5, while the captain’s health is under scrutiny. Connor McDavid and Jason Dickinson did not lace them up at morning skate on Tuesday, making the line combinations scattered. The two centres will be “game-time” decisions, according to Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch. This…
Its awards season! The NHL has kicked off its annual tradition of announcing the finalists for their major awards, and first up is the Ted Lindsay Award, earned by the player who was most valuable to his team as decided by the NHLPA. It differs from the Hart Memorial Trophy as that trophy is determined by the PWHL. By its very nature, the award is looked at as who the actual players believe is the MVP of the season. Yet, it doesn’t seem to carry the gravitas of the Hart. In the history of the ...
You may remember last week, right before the draft, I laid out a more holistic vision for what I wanted to see from the Jets. Fast forward a week, and the draft has come and gone. For the most part, I walked away encouraged. Bits and pieces have come out about how the Jets prepared […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that San Francisco 49ers free agent wide receiver Jauan Jennings is set to visit the Minnesota Vikings on Monday and Wednesday. This comes after the Miami Dolphins reportedly had interest in Jennings’ services. The Vikings would be a great fit for Jennings. Minnesota just exercised Jordan Addison’s fifth-year option. Addison had […]
Of the nine players that the Minnesota Vikings selected in last week’s NFL Draft, none of them play the wide receiver position, a spot that many expected them to address at some point during the selection meeting. Now, it appears that they may be looking in a different direction to fill out the depth chart […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are still looking for that one elusive win to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. They made a bold lineup move ahead of Game 5 to make Matvei Michkov a healthy scratch. Philly lost a 3-2 decision, and now their 3-0 series lead is down to that same set of numbers, 3-2. Does the young Russian need to re-enter the lineup for Game 6? Flyers insider Anthony Di Marco asked —and then answered—the question for Daily Faceoff. " Michkov’s struggle to ke...
While the Flyers were dealt with a tough loss last night in Pittsburgh , it wasn’t a game without its smattering of positives.
Though the results didn’t ultimately go their way, the Flyers made some adjustments to their approach and were able to build on their push late in Saturday’s game and deliver a more even showing on this time out. Their pace was better, and they were able to hold on to more pucks to set up some better chances throughout. They still had their share of chances left ...
