The Portland Trail Blazers will close their 2025-26 regular season schedule on Sunday evening with a game against the Sacramento Kings. But it wouldn’t be a Blazers game without intrigue about the injury list and who will be healthy (or not) for the contest. The Blazers welcomed guard Shaedon Sharpe back after a 26-game absence […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Los Angeles Dodgers scored six runs. Even after turning a corner last season, Jack Leiter remains a work in progress. Or, perhaps a better way to say it is he’ll likely always be prone to having nights like this as long as command is never his strong […]
LOS ANGELES — Emmet Sheehan had his best start of the early season, backed by early home runs in the Dodgers’ 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers wore their city connect uniforms for the first time in 2026, and connected right away off Rangers starter Jack Leiter. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were the better team all day at T-Mobile Arena, but the final tally on the scoreboard goes to the Denver Pioneers as they scored two third-period goals to win the 2026 National Championship by a score of 2-1. The Badgers had their chances. After freshman Vasily Zelenov gave Wisconsin a first-period lead, […]
With the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings winning their respective games today, the Winnipeg Jets needed the same result in their game against the Philadelphia Flyers if they wanted any legitimate chance at making the playoffs. Mathematically, the Jets wouldn't be eliminated from the race, but the required wins and losses to get in are at their maximums after tonight's woeful, uninspired 7-1 hammering at the hands of the Flyers. For a team that needed to be at its best to make the...
Chicago lost yet again on Saturday at the United Center, falling 5-3 to the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis struck first midway through the opening period. The Blackhawks weren’t able to get the puck out and, after some cycling, Jimmy Snuggerud got to the net to tip in Tyler Tucker’s shot. Not sure there's a more perfect tip than that. #stlblues pic.twitter.com/dS3bAXIjGI — St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) April 11, 2026 The Blackhawks evened the score 1-1 about five minutes lat...
It was a scary-looking scene for Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk on Saturday. He left the game near the end of the second period after some sort of mysterious ailment robbed him of his balance. He stumbled off the ice and went to the locker room. Tkachuk in serious discomfort. Left the game. #GoSensGo pic.twitter.com/uCdFQ2urLN — Everyday Sens (@EverydaySens) April 11, 2026 Tkachuk actually tried to come back at the beginning of the third period, but lasted only 10 seconds on the ice bef...
Recap of the game.
The Philadelphia Flyers might be the hunted, but try telling them that!

First period The Blue Jackets need these points more, and they’re playing like it early. The Canadiens are getting caught off guard, and now trail 1-0 on a goal by Boone Jenner. After he gave the puck away to set up the offensive-zone time of Columbus, Mike Matheson then gets his hand on Kirill Marchenko’s hip to take a holding penalty. The power play is killed, but shots are 9-0 Columbus after four minutes of play. Montreal’s best shift is put together by the second line...
Jordan Staal notched his 20th goal of the season and the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Utah Mammoth, 4-1 on Saturday evening in Salt Lake City. It was Staal’s first 20 goal season in nine years. The Canes have now won three games in a row and they look like they are certainly peaking at the […]

If we weren’t going to make the playoffs, the next best thing is to ruin other team’s chances. Even better is when it’s one of my top 5 most hated teams in Detroit, so a nice little Saturday, all things considered. 1st Period However, it was an absolutely awful start to this game, as the […]
The Dodgers on Sunday afternoon finish off their series against the Texas Rangers, with Roki Sasaki making his third start of the season. Jacob deGrom takes the ball for Texas in the series finale.

The Edmonton Oilers had a chance to clinch a playoff berth on Saturday if they could grab at least a point in their matinee against the Los Angeles Kings. From L.A.’s side, they’re clinging to the second Wild Card spot, and with only a handful of games left, the margin for error is razor-thin. So,…

The San Jose Sharks are in the final stretch of the season and while the team is still mathematically in the hunt for a playoff spot, most fans know that the search for the playoffs is over. Which is why tonight’s showdown with the worst team in the league, the Vancouver Canucks has fans tied up in knots. On the one hand, the final home game of the season is a good way for the Sharks to say thank you by beating up on a division rival. However, a win could also doom the Sharks to pick in the te...
The Edmonton Oilers no longer control their fate to finish first in the Pacific Division. On Saturday afternoon, the Oilers played their final road game of the season, ending a three-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings. The low-scoring affair saw just one goal, as the Kings defeated the Oilers 1-0. Let’s take a…
The Colorado Avalanche, fresh off a Presidents Trophy-clinching performance on Thursday, play their final weekend game of the regular season tonight. After a three and a half month hiatus, they will wrap up the season series against the Vegas Golden Knights, who pay their only(?) visit to the Mile High City this spring. Colorado Avalanche […]
The Penguins went into full coast mode after clinching a playoff berth and their place as second seed in the division by resting several players. All of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang, Ben Kindel and Parker Witherspoon were held out with “day-to-day injuries” in the meaningless game. The skeleton crew […]
