First period
A nice start from Phillip Danualt’s line with Josh Anderson and Alexandre Texier sees the Canadiens play the first shift of the game in the offensive zone.
Ivan Demidov creates a zone entry and Juraj Slafkovský gets a shot from the slot. Looks like there isn’t a great deal of rust to shake off for Montreal.
That line turns some play in the defensive zone into another shot on Johan Johansson. They have looked great recently.
Anderson goes six feet offside unne...
The New England Patriots took care of business against the New York Jets in Week 17, dominating their division rivals in a 42-10 blowout.

Crossbar. Bar. Bar. Post. That and some disengaged second-period play cost the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night against their arch-rival Calgary Flames in a 3-2 loss. And wouldn’t you know it — for the seventh time this regular season, the Oilers failed to win a third consecutive game. It’s not hard to see why. If…
The Seattle Seahawks have not lost a regular season road game to the Carolina Panthers since 2007, and that trend holds true for another season. As we’ve seen in a few other Seahawks wins, a slow first half gave way to a monster second half and a very comfortable win in the end. Any nerves […]

The New England Patriots entered Week 17 as massive favorites over the New York Jets, and they lived up to the pre-game expectation. Celebrating their eighth win in eight road games this year, they left their division rivals no chance and cruised to an easy 42-10 win that could have been even more lopsided had […]
As the NHL's Holiday Roster Freeze was lifted as of Sunday morning, several teams around the league have made some moves. The Edmonton Oilers have placed Noah Philp on waivers for the purpose of an assignment to AHL Bakersfield. However, with a face-off win percentage of 56.9%, and the dearth of available centers around the league, there's a chance that he could be claimed by another team, saving him a trip back to the minors. Philp is a defensive-minded, fourth-line center ...

Tonight, they get to add another name to the list – Maxim Groshev.

A sluggish start, but a strong finish for the Seattle Seahawks (13-3), who are now on the doorstep of the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed. What was a 3-3 score at the half with the Carolina Panthers (8-8) turned into a 27-10 rout. Bryce Young was just 14/24 for 54 yards and […]
The Philadelphia Eagles would’ve preferred a Carolina Panthers win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday but the silver lining from a Panthers loss is that the Birds have officially clinched no worse than the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoff picture.
