Flames after 10 games: rounding into form after an ugly start

The Calgary Flames stumble to a 4‑6‑0 start in the 2026‑27 season, finally snapping the skid with a 4‑2 win over Anaheim on Oct. 13 and three straight victories afterward. Despite generating plenty of shots and high‑danger chances, the team is out‑scored 29‑13 at five‑on‑five and ranks near the bottom in conversion, while opponents convert at a league‑high rate. Special‑teams fluctuate: the power play nets eight goals but yields two shorthanded tallies, and the penalty kill concedes five while scoring once. Injuries to Jonathan Huberdeau, Sam Honzek and Mikael Backlund open spots for rookies Aydar Suniev and Jonathan Castagna, who have begun to contribute. Young players born in 2004 or later show mixed production, with Matvei Gridin leading the group with five points.

“NFL Doctors Risked Jalen Hurts’ Life?” NFLPA Triggers Urgent Probe Into Blood Clot Emergency (BREAKING)

The NFL and NFLPA announce a joint review of how the Philadelphia Eagles diagnosed and treated quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot after his October 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Initially labeled a superficial clot, later examinations revealed deep‑vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, forcing Hurts onto injured reserve for the rest of the season.

Is Puka Nacua playing today for Rams vs Raiders in Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season?

The Los Angeles Rams face a Week 7 dilemma as wideout Puka Nacua remains questionable after a calf injury. Adam Schefter reports the Rams are optimistic—Nacua felt better Saturday and could suit up if no setbacks occur, though final confirmation will come during warm‑ups at Allegiant Stadium. With Davante Adams already out from a ruptured hamstring, the Rams' receiving depth is thin; if Nacua also misses, only backups like Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell will be available, pushing more load onto RBs Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, and TEs Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson. Nacua has logged 37 catches for 512 yards and one touchdown this season, as the Rams sit 2‑4 in the NFC West.

Puka Nacua active vs Raiders, offense needs to carry Rams to win

The Los Angeles Rams face a make-or-break showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, with a loss potentially dropping them to 2‑5 and out of playoff contention. Good news: receiver Puka Nacua is cleared to play after a calf injury, and the entire five‑starter offensive line remains healthy despite a depleted defense missing Myles Garrett, Kobie Turner and others. With Davante Adams sidelined, the offense will lean on Nacua, tight ends, and a heavy ground game from Blake Corum and Kyren Williams. The Rams must improve on their average offensive metrics—10th in EPA/play, 9th in success rate, 15th in explosive plays—to beat Kirk Cousins’ Raiders and keep Matthew Stafford’s job secure.
