The lineup also features Nathan MacKinnon, Logan O’Connor and veteran netminder Mackenzie Blackwood. Lightning star Nikita Kucherov pursues franchise‑record points and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy looks to improve his 7‑5‑1 record against the Avs. The game tips off at 7:00 p.m. MT on Altitude/ESPN+.
The Colorado Avalanche may be the victims of their own expectations. That’s the cross you bear when you run the table from day one of the regular season en route…

John Brebbia’s 2026 roller‑coaster ends with a brief, disastrous stint for the Colorado Rockies. After a promising spring—five scoreless innings and seven strikeouts—two rough outings (seven runs in three innings, including two Giants homers) cost him a roster spot, prompting a release and a minor‑league deal with Minnesota. He returned to the Rockies’ Triple‑A Albuquerque Isotopes, posted seven shutout outings, and earned a call‑up on June 21. In two scoreless MLB appearances he seemed reborn, but a two‑run homer by Joe Mack and a three‑run blast by Owen Caissie on June 30 inflated his ERA to 10.38, leading to his DFA the next day. He finished the year with a total of 4.1 MLB innings, a 10.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP.

The Colorado Avalanche boost their lineup for Friday’s showdown with the Tampa Bay Lightning by recalling 16‑year‑old left wing Taylor Makar from the AHL’s Colorado Eagles. Makar replaces Gavin Brindley and makes his season debut, joining the fourth line with Parker Kelly and Logan O’Connor, who also debuts. In his AHL stint, Makar tallies three goals and four points in six games, a surge from last year’s 24 points in 52 games, prompting head coach Jared Bednar to praise his camp performance.
The Nuggets' offense fell flat against the Thunder, and OKC's defense was eerily similar to the Timberwolves' defense in the playoffs.
The Pinstripe Alley preview breaks down the Brewers' pitching strengths ahead of the 2026 World Series. Milwaukee’s staff tops MLB in strikeout rate (27.4%) and K‑BB% (19.6%), ranking in the top five for ERA (3.61), FIP (3.73) and fWAR (15.6). Star rookie Jacob Misiorowski, the presumptive NL Cy Young, posted a 1.80 ERA, 252 Ks and a record‑setting 106 mph fastball, but his postseason whiff rate has dropped to 16.1% and he failed to go beyond five innings in the NLCS. Backup starter Logan Henderson (2.33 ERA) and potential Game 3 ace Robert Gasser are also discussed, while the bullpen shines with a 1.33 ERA and standout relievers Aaron Ashby and Trevor Megill.
I don’t believe it’s a hot take when I say that production from the catcher’s position is few and far between across the league. This isn’t anything new, either. The degree of volatility wavers so much from year to year that it’s hard to claim your favorite team has one of the best catchers in […]

The Nuggets sit out backup forward Spencer Jones on opening night against the Oklahoma City Thunder after a hamstring issue resurfaces during Thursday’s shootaround, coach David Adelman says. The precaution prevents further injury, but opens playing time for the reserve unit depleted by offseason departures. In the same game, Cameron Johnson exits with a right‑ankle sprain, allowing Alpha Diallo to start the second half. Rookie Trevon Brazile records 12 rebounds in 18 minutes, debuting alongside DeMar DeRozan, who embraces a bench role after stints with Toronto, San Antonio, Chicago and Sacramento. Jamal Murray also discusses his ambitions in a recent interview.

The Colorado Rockies are still chasing the analytical edge of the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers, according to Eno Sarris' framework. While the Rockies have upgraded their tech stack—adopting KinaTrax in 2023, using Edgertronic cameras, Catapult fatigue monitors, and VR training—these tools lag behind the Rays’ decade‑long usage and the Brewers’ 2019 performance lab. Creative pitching experiments, such as nine opener appearances in 2026, yielded a 1‑7 record, but low run support compounded the losses. With new leadership embracing analytics, the club hopes better data integration and communication will finally translate into competitive pitching depth.
The Broncos visit the Cardinals Sunday, Oct. 25, at 4:05 p.m. ET in Glendale. Denver (4‑2) aims to leverage its strong pass rush—18 sacks and a +4 turnover margin—against an Arizona offense that has tossed six interceptions and struggles to protect QB Jacoby Brissett (12 sacks taken). Key injuries could shape the duel: Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II is questionable and safety Talanoa Hufanga doubtful, while the Cardinals list QB Carson Beck, RB Jeremiyah Love and several defensive backs as questionable. Bo Nix and J.K. Dobbins are slated to start for Denver; Brissett likely starts for Arizona. A win keeps Denver near the AFC West lead, and a Cardinals victory would snap their early-season slump.
Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman practices in full for a second day and is set to activate from injured reserve for the Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Broncos opened a 21‑day window on Wednesday, making him eligible to play after missing the season’s first two games due to an ankle injury suffered in the Week 2 win over Jacksonville. Coleman logged 10 carries for 39 yards and his first NFL touchdown in that game, but returns to a crowded backfield with J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie (thumb injury). While his fantasy value is a bench stash for now, his three‑down skill set could boost Denver’s 26th‑ranked rushing attack.
