Blaine already reported that the Los Angeles Rams will play the San Francisco 49ers in Australia for the 2026 season, and I wanted to own that I shared last year that L.A. would be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026 in another continent.

The San Jose Sharks arrived in Denver for their final game before the Olympic break looking to set the recent past aside. After three losses in a row, each of which felt like a lost opportunity to keep pace in the playoff race, the team was in search of something positive to take into the pause.
