Less than two years ago, the Toronto Maple Leafs fired Sheldon Keefe and replaced him with Craig Berube. The New Jersey Devils then immediately hired Keefe. Both coaches led their respective teams to the playoffs in year one. Both teams entered this season with genuine Stanley Cup aspirations. And now both are sitting near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, both are widely expected to miss the playoffs, and both coaches are looking at significant uncertainty about th...

Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… I dubbed Monday’s Pens Points headline as “A season-defining back-to-back.” Forty-eight hours after that was published, the Penguins came out the other side of that B2B with two dominant regulation wins, beating the Islanders on Monday and the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday by a combined […]

The Yankees got exactly the response they needed Tuesday night, bouncing back from their first loss of the season with a 5-0 win over the Mariners in Seattle.

This was the matchup in the series the Mariners had the lowest percentage of winning (even while still being favored, apparently no one told the oddsmakers at FanGraphs the Mariners are suffering a bit of a limp offensively), but it was still pretty rough to watch. Max Fried outdueled Logan Gilbert, holding the Mariners scoreless […]
It seemed like the only thing holding up the decision by the New York Islanders to move the Bridgeport Islanders to Hamilton, Ontario was the AHL Board of Governors. It was rumoured for a while before the announcement finally came that this would be the reality for 2026-27, but it still needed the rubber stamp from the league's membership. That vote took place today, and AHL President and CEO Scott Howson made it official by announcing that the Islanders would move into the renovated TD Colise...
Knicks (48*-28) came into this evening having lost two straight on the road. They hold the tiebreaker with Cleveland, but another loss would put the Cavs within a half-game of third place in the East. Tonight’s opponent, the Rockets (46-29), had split the last ten games on their schedule, but they’re a tall, lanky team […]
After yesterday’s 8-3 loss, the Islanders really needed this game to go well.

But then the Sabres reclaimed the lead late, taking advantage of bad defensive play by the Islanders, […]
Tonight was the third and final meeting between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers.

Andre Pallante pitched 5 strong innings and received offensive support from Ivan Herrera, JJ Wetherholt and Ramón Urías as the St. Louis Cardinals shutout the New York Mets 3-0 at Busch Stadium Tuesday night.
