Liverpool entered this match in sore need of a win. 4 straight Premier League losses will create that air of desperation.

The Blackhawks played well enough to force overtime but not well enough to skate away with both points as the host Edmonton Oilers picked up a 3-2 win over Chicago on Saturday night.
The first period ended scoreless, but only by a fraction of a second because of this Leon Draisaitl shot during an Edmonton power play that crossed the goal line moments after the clock hit zero:
Time expired a fraction of a second before Leon Draisaitl's shot crossed the goal line. Scoreless after the f...
Despite some bad puck luck throughout the night, the Rangers pressed Daccord and the Kraken for a third straight win.
Edmonton Oilers fans who cheer for the Toronto Blue Jays got at least some good news Saturday night, as Evan Bouchard’s overtime goal would secure them a win over the Chicago Blackhawks. While the Blue Jays would lose Game 7 of the World Series to the L.A. Dodgers in the 11th inning, the Oilers’ extra…
The Blackhawks actually did a really nice job of holding their own for 19 minutes and 59.9 seconds in the first period. With Wyatt Kaiser was in the box, Leon Draisaitl rifled a shot that got thru Spencer Knight for what would have been a power play goal to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead … if the shot went in before the clock hit all zeroes. It did not. And doughnuts remained on the board into the intermission.
Draisaitl did score late in the power play that carried over to start the second p...
First Period The New Jersey Devils had a nice start to the game, putting together two offensive zone shifts, leading to an early deflection goal for Nico Hischier, off the stick of Luke Hughes. Hischier was in front with Hughes shooting from distance near the wall, and the puck deflected at once or twice while […]

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 6-5-1. On the team’s performance: I thought we were a little slow at the start, but we got to our game. We played more direct tonight. Our forecheck was good, our offensive zone play […]

If you chose baseball over this, just watch the Stützle goal and ignore the rest of the game
The Flyers and Leafs played hockey Saturday night. Or attempted to. But an extremely slow, choppy, and at times chippy contest resulted in a 5-2 win for Toronto, and the first subpar effort of the season from Philadelphia goaltender Dan Vladar.
The basics
First period: 1:09 – Christian Dvorak (Nikita Grebenkin, Travis Konecny), 6:16 – Auston Matthews (Morgan Rielly, Nick Robertson) Second period: 8:14 – Jake McCabe (Chris Tanev, Matias Maccelli), 17:34 – Nick Robertson (Matthew Knies...
First period
I miss Ray Ferraro already.
The crowd is very quiet to begin this game. I guess they don’t know if they’ll be cheering a goal or a fight first.
There also isn’t a whole going on to get excited about yet. The play is sloppy on both sides.
Matheson has a breakout pass go awry, but Samuel Montembeault is there to make the save.
It’s a big save, because moments later Cole Caufield gets a breakaway, and he squeaks the puck through the pads of Linus Ullmark, w...

Despite another strong performance from Hartford, they came up on the wrong side of an overtime game for the second night in a row.
Amidst another sleepy October for the Edmonton Oilers, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is providing the team with the consistency and the offensive spark at the top of the lineup that they desperately need. On Saturday night, he will pass Ryan Smyth for second all-time in games played for the Oilers with 972. As the last holdout from…
On November 1st in 1959, Jacques Plante took a wrist shot in the face from Hart winner Andy Bathgate. Seven stitches and 21 minutes later, Plante returned wearing a mask to the chagrin of Canadiens coach Toe Blake, forever changing the face of NHL goaltending.
Plante had been using the homemade mask during practices but no goalie ever wore one in a game. Despite Blake's protest, Plante
The fifth time was not the charm. The Colorado Avalanche dropped their fifth game in overtime in just their 13th game of the season, falling 3–2 to the San Jose Sharks, which saw two goals from Phillip Kurashev, including the game-winner. It was a familiar theme for the Avalanche: dominate play, yet somehow still come out […]
The Milwaukee Bucks surprisingly dropped this game to the Sacramento Kings—who were 1-4 coming in—in a controversial fashion by a final score of 135-133. Giannis finished with just 26 points, the first time this season he’s been held under 30, while Kuzma added 22. Zach LaVine led all scorers with 31 points, while DeMar DeRozan […]

The Edmonton Oilers have hired Andy Salggert as their Director of North American Recruiting, the team announced Saturday.
