The games […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 5-4 (10) and L, 3-7 (7) at Buffalo Bisons — the seven-inning doubleheader rules in the minors didn’t stop Scranton and Buffalo from playing 10 in their doubleheader opener yesterday following Saturday’s postponement, and Max Schuemann’s double scored Oswaldo Cabrera in the top of the 10th before Danny Watson slammed the door […]
Editor’s note: We had some overnight internet issues, so we’re doing the shorter weekend format today. Thanks for understanding! Major League Baseball’s Opening Day weekend series have all come to an end, and the Yankees were one of just five teams to kick off the season with a sweep, joining the Blue Jays (sure), Dodgers […]
The Islanders close out their five-game homestand tonight, with all the stakes on the line. It’s part of a critical back-to-back — they’re all “critical” right now — that finishes tomorrow in Buffalo. But tonight they can inflict direct damage on a fellow playoff spot contender and potential first-round opponent. The Pittsburgh Penguins arrive having […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… With the regular season nearing its end, the Eastern Conference playoff race remains tightly contested, with about 10 teams battling for eight spots as momentum swings nightly. For the Pittsburgh Penguins, a crucial upcoming stretch—starting Monday night with a back-to-back set against the New York Islanders […]
The Florida Panthers left the Big Apple with no points, losing 3-1 to the New York Rangers at Madison Sqaure Garden. With Igor Shesterkin and Sergei Bobrovsky pitching shutouts into the third, Adam Sykora finally opened the scoring when he tipped Adam Fox’s shot from just above the right circle past Florida’s keeper at 5:38 with the secondary assist going to Noah Laba. Conor Sheary provided insurance at the 11:14 mark, cashing in a shorthanded breakaway after J.T. Miller picked off V...
After a terrible loss to the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday evening, which really decimated the New Jersey Devils’ longshot playoff hopes, I was looking for one thing above all in the team tonight: whether or not the Devils would play the game for a full 60 minutes and give their best effort. And to be honest, […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: ($) How about a few early takeaways from series one? After chasing fewer pitches outside of the zone than any other team last season, the Yankees’ early success with ABS looks a sustainable advantage. After largely learning the position on the fly last year, Ben Rice looks more comfortable at […]
The Chicago Blackhawks closed out their road trip with a 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Sunday, blowing the lead three times in the process. The Blackhawks opened the scoring 4:19 into the game. Jake Allen was slow playing the puck behind the net, so Anton Frondell swept in to steal it and set up Ilya Mikheyev out front for an open-net goal, making it 1-0. from 0 to 95 in no time 🏁 pic.twitter.com/cgOKYp7XU3 — Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) March 29, 2026 The De...
Thunder (59-16) came into tonight with the league’s best record and ranked first in the league for both points-per-game and defensive rating. The visiting Knicks (48*-27) were ready, though. On Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier’s 81st birthday, they played well enough through three quarters to make the G.K.O.A.T. proud. Then the Thunder turned on the gas and […]
The New York Jets own the number two overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. At this point it doesn’t seem likely the selection will be a quarterback. So the team will be turning to other positions. You could make a strong case that the most important non-quarterback position in the NFL is edge rusher. […]
The Brooklyn Nets just couldn’t hold back any longer. After 10 straight losses, some being utter blowouts and others gut-wrenching fumbles at the goal line, the Nets returned home from their road trip heads hanging. Few fans want them winning games right now, and even fewer expect them to, but for the guys on the […]
The Knicks (48*-26) visit the Thunder (58-16). Oklahoma City squeaked out a three-point victory in New York earlier this month and are favored again tonight. Rebounding will be a key to victory, and the Knicks simply must haul in more than the 24 boards they managed against the Hornets on Thursday. Tip-off is 7:30 PM […]
The Mets and Pirates went to extra innings in a low-scoring affair for the second day in a row, but this time there were no walk-off fireworks by the home team, as the Mets fell to Pittsburgh 4-3 in ten innings. Things got off to a nervy start immediately for Nolan McLean, who had trouble […]
There’s a certain comedy in the agony for Nets fans right now, and frankly, all fans of tanking teams. There has to be. Otherwise it would really be a brutal watch… assuming you’re still watching. Typing out this sentence feels wrong, but it’s the reality: the Brooklyn Nets need to lose tonight. And not just […]
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored three runs. The two most notable offseason acquisitions for the Rangers this winter were Brandon Nimmo when he was acquired from the New York Mets for Marcus Semien back in November, and MacKenzie Gore when the Rangers unloaded the farm on the Washington Nationals […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! At long last, the regular season has begun, and so far, it has gotten off to a fantastic start, with the Yankees securing their first two wins of the season without allowing a run to cross the […]
Adam Sykora scored in back-to-back games and Conor Sheary added a shorthanded goal while Shesterkin nearly blanked Florida.
With the regular season winding down and fewer than 10 games in most teams’ schedules, here’s the latest and second-to-last entry of the Standing Watch series. All playoff teams are already locked in, mind you, but there’s still some seed-shuffling left to play out during the final games of play, starting with Sunday’s matchup between […]

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their road trip with a stop in New Jersey to face the Devils, looking to salvage something, anything , from a stretch that’s quickly gone off the rails. It’s been a while since the Blackhawks last saw the Devils — all the way back in mid-November — and the version of this team now feels pretty different from the one that was still hovering around the playoff picture at the time. The Devils spent the first couple of months flirting with relevance in the Easte...
We got ourselves a Sunday treat as there is an NBA Finals preview on tap. Knicks vs. Thunder for the second time this regular season as the warm-up game for New York’s future sweep of OKC come June. Here’s the latest before this evening’s showdown. Mike Brown On the close loss to Oklahoma City earlier […]
The first half of the 1920s were a transformative time for the Yankees, the still relatively new franchise transitioning from an also-ran into a true behemoth. With the arrival of Babe Ruth coinciding with the beginning of the live-ball era and the assemblage of Murderers’ Row, the building of the sport’s greatest empire was just […]
