The Boston Bruins (10‑4‑1) close a two‑game home stretch on Nov. 2 by hosting the Vegas Golden Knights (9‑5‑1) at TD Garden, 7:00 PM. Boston leads the Atlantic Division with 21 points and ranks in the league’s top‑10 for goals for (3.67) and against (2.40), while Vegas sits second in the Pacific, posting 3.47 GF and 2.93 GA per game.

The Patriots sit at last season’s loss total but still vie for an AFC playoff spot, hampered by early‑season injuries. With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, New England may pursue a roster overhaul, adding targets like A.J. Brown, Jaylen Reed, Corey Kiner or Walter Rouse, or offloading players as in 2025. Recent rumors include Colts interest in WR Josh Downs, a former teammate of QB Drake Maye, while All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson heads to Seattle for a 2027 third‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick. The tracker will update as deals develop.
Trailing 13-3 at halftime in Miami, the Patriots turn the tide thanks to safety Kevin Byard’s first interception as a New England player.

Coach Mike Vrabel credits the defensive momentum shift, while Byard, a three‑time First‑Team All‑Pro who led the league with seven takeaways in 2025, finally breaks his turnover drought. The comeback highlights New England’s revived defense and clutch offense on a rainy road trip.

Garza logged a season‑high 21 minutes, 12 points and a key three‑pointer. The Celtics, despite shooting just 27.3% from three versus Magic’s 35.9%, relied on depth and defensive intensity to snap a five‑game winning streak early in the season.

Malik Willis lashes out at teammate Ollie Gordon after a costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty costs the Miami Dolphins a chance to hold a 13-10 lead over the New England Patriots on Nov. 2, 2026.
