The Dallas Stars entered Tuesday’s national TV game on a 14-game point streak against the Minnesota Wild (9-0-5). Dallas made it 15 after an 8:50 pm puck drop on ESPN. It’s unwise to make sweeping generalizations about early results. Still, it’s also wrong to dismiss them entirely. The Wi...
Are the Senators simply allergic to strong starts?
Lots of new faces.

No lineup changes expected.
As the Rangers battle injuries and scoring woes, former first-rounder Brennan Othmann finds himself on the outside looking in—and now in trade rumors, per Elliotte Friedman.
10 Jets players take part in this challenge.
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
Just as many expected. The Edmonton Oilers are winning early on this season on the strength of good defensive play and sound goaltending. Through the first week of the season, the Oilers lead the NHL with a 1.33 GAA (goals against average), while ranking 25th in goals per game at 2.67. The Oilers have three…
It’s a quick trip to middle America for the Colorado Avalanche for a showdown with the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are in search of their first victory on home ice during this 2025-26 campaign. The Avalanche, on the other hand, have gotten off to a blazing start this season, collecting at least a point in […]
On Wednesday, Anthony Edwards and longtime friend Nick Maddox hosted the first annual Believe That Awards. Maddox explained at the start of the show that this award show would not be a typical award show; instead, it would be presented in a barber shop or living room style. The show had a wide-ranging set of […]
Joel Eriksson Ek is back to full health and has resumed his role as a key player for the Minnesota Wild, especially on the power play. He’s averaging 19:55 time on ice per game (TOI/G) through the Wild’s 4 regular season games, has scored a power play goal, and has 3 assists. Although they los...
Let’s talk 2026 Texas Rangers payroll. We don’t know how much the Rangers payroll is going to be in 2026. It appears likely that it will be less than it was in 2025, since part of the reason given for Bruce Bochy’s decision not to return as manager in 2026 was the team’s “financial uncertainty” […]
The Carolina Panthers hit the road feeling their oats after back to back home wins and three wins in four contests. They’ve averaged 29 points per game in those three wins, and the offense has looked rather potent. However, all three of the wins have come at home. Road games have been an entirely different […]
Three games in to 2025-26 and there is a lot going right for the New Jersey Devils. They’re 2-1-0 and despite some imperfections in their games, there’s a good number of positives to highlight. Timo Meier has chipped in a couple early goals. Jesper Bratt has picked up roughly from where he left off last […]

Here’s hoping you had your caffeine ready for another late night. Tonight marks the second of five straight games that will start at 9 PM Eastern or later as the Hurricanes continue the annual State Fair road trip—although considering Billie Eilish will be in Lenovo Center tonight and tomorrow and Sabrina Carpenter played there during […]
In terms of on-ice results it is pretty fair to say that preseason expectations for the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins were as low as they have been in two decades. I do not know of anybody, nor did I see anybody, anticipating a playoff team or any sort of a contender. Everybody knows the deal here. […]
Morning, all! Jacob deGrom is a finalist for both the Comeback Player of the Year award and a Gold Glove, and Marcus Semien, Adolis Garcia, Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager are also Gold Glove finalists. The Rangers had a top five bullpen in 2025 and will have to do some work this offseason if they […]
Earlier this school year, we saw Notre Dame unveil the first alternate leprechaun logo (football) of a new collection of sport-specific logos for its athletic teams. Now they continue the series with hockey… and it’s just as good as the football logo. From the ND press release: SOUTH BEND, IN – The University of Notre Dame […]
Koblar has suited up for Leksands' pro league team much earlier than we had guessed, and with a much bigger role too. So let's talk about how he's looked.
Hello CSR! Welcome to your defensive preview, as the Panthers travel to face the New York Jets in what should be a very winnable game this week. The Jets will not have WR Garrett Wilson, which won’t help an offense that managed a negative 10 yards net passing in London last week. However, the Panthers, […]
On Wednesday, the New York Knicks announced that guard Malcolm Brogdon retired. This came soon after Shams Charania of ESPN reported the same. The news is a bit surprising because Brogdon only played nine NBA seasons. And he signed with New York after playing for the Washington Wizards in 2024-25 where he averaged 12.7 points […]
That's Wild No one truly expected Minnesota Wild rookie Zeev Buium to score a boatload of points in his first ever regular season games. Especially after he somewhat faltered during his debut in the playoffs last season, Buium was largely seen as someone who might need a few weeks to get the fe...
