The Washington Capitals are ready to get back to game action after another three-day break between matchups. They’ll host the Philadelphia Flyers at Capital One Arena on Wednesday night, the first half of a back-to-back. After a disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Kings last week, the Capitals put together one of their better overall
The Los Angeles Rams are eyeing a trade for former defensive tackle A Shawn Robinson, who helped the team win Super Bowl LVI. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler rates Robinson a good fit, noting his 22 tackles and a sack in the 2021 playoffs and his veteran versatility at 6‑3, 320 lb. Robinson, now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has posted 20 tackles and a sack this season and boasts two interceptions, but the Bucs aren’t likely to move him unless they suffer more losses. With Aaron Donald anchoring the line and injuries to Kobie Turner and Poona Ford, the Rams could benefit from Robinson’s run‑stopping ability as they chase a roster upgrade before the trade deadline.

After a 9-3 loss to the Dodgers, Mets broadcasters Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen faced speculation when Darling hinted he might reassess his SNY contract year‑by‑year. Despite a two‑year deal, Darling later told SNY’s The Mets Pod that he’s “lucky” to be on the booth and will stay as long as the trio and the network want him, emphasizing his desire to see a championship. He also expressed envy of TBS partner Brian Anderson’s World Series viewing. With Hernandez on a three‑year contract, Cohen unsettled, and MLB’s CBA still pending, the trio appears set to remain together for at least the next two seasons.

The Vancouver Canucks snapped a 10‑game skid with a 6‑5 OT win over the Anaheim Ducks, and advanced metrics show the comeback was more than a fluke. Their five‑on‑five expected‑goals control jumped from 26.75% vs. Minnesota to 59.24% in Anaheim, generating 12 high‑danger chances while limiting the Ducks to seven. Liam Öhgren posted a team‑leading 73.33% Corsi and 98.07% xGF, while Marco Rossi (93.35% xGF) and Linus Karlsson (93.02% xGF) also excelled. Goalie Leevi Meriläinen made 18 saves on 23 shots (‑2.84 GSAx), but the underlying possession and shot‑quality numbers suggest a genuine turnaround.

Rookie Cameron Carr is taking a major step toward returning to the Los Angeles Lakers after a right oblique strain sidelined him since Oct. 6. Coach JJ Redick confirmed Carr completed a full practice with the Coachella Valley Lakers on Tuesday, a key checkpoint for his rehab and ability to absorb contact. Carr posted 19 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in his preseason debut versus the Sacramento Kings, followed by a modest five‑point effort against the Warriors. The Lakers hope his G League stint with Coachella Valley, which starts Nov. 6 against the Salt Lake City Stars, will keep him ready for a big‑league role.
Former Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis impressed the Kansas City Chiefs in a recent workout, but the team ultimately chose veteran Justin Tucker for the place‑kicker role due to Tucker's experience. Mevis, who posted a 92% field‑goal rate in 2025 but struggled at 50% in 2026 before being released after a blocked overtime kick vs. Buffalo, remains a free agent. The Chiefs are looking to replace under‑performing Harrison Butker, who will try to keep his job against the Denver Broncos Sunday, while Tucker hopes to revive his career after off‑field issues.
The Rams enter Sunday’s clash with the Chargers as the league’s top‑scoring offense (399.1 yards per game, 1st) despite a 3‑4 record. Quarterback Matthew Stafford has thrown for 1,989 yards and 14 TDs, while Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald bolster a defense that ranks near the middle of the league. The Chargers, meanwhile, struggle at 287.2 total yards (26th) and 15 points per game (30th), with Justin Herbert posting 1,141 passing yards and five touchdowns. Key defensive players include Khalil Mack and Cam Hart. The preview weighs the Rams’ offensive firepower against the Chargers’ low‑output game plan ahead of the October 28 matchup.
The Vancouver Canucks rallied from a 4‑1 deficit to beat the Anaheim Ducks 6‑5 in overtime on Tuesday at the Honda Center. Jonathan Lekkerimaki sparked the comeback with two third‑period goals and an assist, while Filip Hronek capped the win 4:49 into OT on a slap shot from Boeser and Lekkerimaki.

The Milwaukee Bucks clinch a narrow win over the Indiana Pacers and keep forward Pete Nance on the roster after he rejected two‑way offers from the Lakers and 76ers. Insider Marc Stein reports the Bucks persuaded the 26‑year‑old, who went undrafted in 2023 and has shuffled between teams, to stay with Milwaukee on another two‑way deal. Nance appeared in 47 games last season, starting six, providing size and athleticism at power forward. The Bucks, now in a rebuilding phase, host the Houston Rockets Wednesday night.
With a 3-1 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays, the Milwaukee Brewers are one win away from clinching the 2026 World Series. Former MLB player Trevor Plouffe says the club is building a “dynasty,” citing long‑term contracts for William Contreras (through 2027), star pitcher Brandon Woodruff and other core pieces. He notes the team’s control of key roster spots and its ability to stay competitive despite not matching the Dodgers’ payroll. As the Brewers gear up for Game 5, the discussion turns to whether this run marks the start of sustained championship contention.

The Blackhawks snap a three‑game skid with a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 28, 2026, thanks to a surge from their revamped third line. Oliver Moore, Frank Nazar and veteran Patrick Kane dominate the middle, outshooting the Kings 17‑6 in 5‑on‑5 play and generating the majority of high‑danger chances. Kane notches his 899th career assist, moving toward the 900‑assist milestone, while Wyatt Kaiser scores the game‑winner in the third period. Chicago outshots L.A. 27‑18 after a shaky start and limits the Kings to just four high‑danger chances the last two periods, showcasing improved defense and forecheck pressure.
The Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 victory over Los Angeles marks their eighth game of the season with two or fewer goals. They could target some forwards to help.
In addition to the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks have raised the stakes in the NFC West trade race, leaving the Los Angeles Rams under pressure to respond before the deadline.

The New York Giants place running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve after a hamstring injury in the overtime win over the Houston Texans on Oct. 25, sidelining him for at least four games. Tracy, who scored three touchdowns in his last two outings, is replaced by undrafted rookie Gregory Desrosiers from the Chargers’ practice squad, while Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary see increased carries. GM Joe Schoen says the move won’t end Tracy’s season but adds depth testing ahead of a long stretch post‑bye, especially after the recent release of Najee Harris.
The New York Giants respond to rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s four‑week hamstring IR stint by signing Memphis rookie Greg Desrosiers from the Chargers' practice squad, not by chasing a blockbuster trade for Indianapolis star Jonathan Taylor.

Rookie lineman Charles Grant contributed on special teams, and WR Dont’e Thornton is set for his debut after IR activation. Meanwhile, fourth‑rounder Tonka Hemingway returned from concussion with a sack, and late‑round picks JJ Pegues and Cody Lindenberg earn occasional defensive and special‑teams snaps. The preview also hints at what to watch in the upcoming Jets matchup.
