The Florida Panthers (21-15-3) and New York Rangers (19-18-5) will take it outdoors tonight at the 2026 Winter Classic at LoanDepot Park in Miami.

Matthews missed the Leafs last game against the New Jersey Devils after blocking a shot last weekend against the Detroit Red Wings.

The Leafs went on to win the game 4-0, thanks to Joseph Woll standing on...

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced his quarterback decision for Week 18 on Wednesday.
