The focus of the New Jersey Devils this past offseason was addressing the bottom-6. They did that and added some nice pieces, but that is still the main area in which the team will have to address during the season ahead of a highly likely playoff run. The team has star power, a very solid and deep defensive group, and three goalies, so the bottom two lines are what need a little more juice. According to David Pagnotta, "They don't need to bring in star power. You want to start to look to brin...
Even before the starting whistle blew in its game against No. 2 seed Michigan State (11-3-5, 7-1-3 Big Ten) in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals, No. 7 Northwestern (9-4-7, 4-2-5 Big Ten) was riding a high.

If you’d told me beforehand that Georgia Tech would punt only one time and NC State still would win by multiple scores, I’d have said, sir, this is some clearly crazy talk and please do not insult my intelligence in this manner. Yet somehow this is what happened. But NC State only punted twice itself, […]
The Jets are getting ready to depart Winnipeg with a three-game win streak sitting right at the top of the NHL standings (in 2nd spot). The only question mark from a health perspective was Gustav Nyquist and potentially if either Dylan Samberg and Cole Perfetti are out of the yellow, non-contact jerseys. Skate news: Adam […]

Who can earn a spot on the first PWHL Vancouver roster? These 9 camp invites have a shot.
Most Cleveland Browns fans are in one of two camps coming out of their Week 9 bye week: “Please fast forward to the 2026 NFL draft” or “Please do something, anything to make this offense better.” With the New York Jets next up on the schedule, the latter could happen in much the way that […]

The Mariners reached their attendance goal in 2025. They’ll reach for more next year. Just over 2.5 million fans attended regular season games at T-Mobile Park in 2025.

You can only try to come up with so many different ways to say the same thing, but maybe it’s the best to make it extremely simple: The Philadelphia Flyers had a very bad weekend and head coach Rick Tocchet is asking some questions of his roster.
After losing a disheartening game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the very next day the Flyers hosted the NHL’s worst team in the Calgary Flames. And they applied almost zero offensive pressure in the 2-1 loss — a performance that is...
The Calgary Flames have had a very poor start to the season and some things are going to change. The first thing that is going to happen is that players start being moved. Two players in particular have been called into question about their fits with the team moving forward. Frank Seravalli said, "I think you'd have to begin to have the conversation about whether or not you think (Morgan) Frost and/or (Joel) Farabee have fit." Considering the age and production of Frost and Farabee in comparis...
