Glendening failed to make the Tampa Bay Lightning roster out of training camp.
The New York Rangers face a puzzling dilemma with veteran forward Oliver Björkstrand. After signing a one‑year, $4.5 million deal, he began the season in the top six but was soon demoted to the fourth line, dropping his ice time to a career‑low 10:31 per game. Despite a strong 5‑on‑5 expected‑goal share of 56.12% (second on the team), Björkstrand has recorded just two points in 10 games and the Rangers’ fourth line is yet to score. Coach Mike Sullivan must decide whether to give Björkstrand more minutes without disrupting the effective Miller‑Kartye third line. Meanwhile, the Flyers’ injury list grows with Sean Couturier and Tyson Foerster listed as questionable for the upcoming game against Colorado.
Ten games into the 2026-27 campaign, the Rangers are stepping up to the challenges, winning games, and most importantly, doing it as a team.

The Atlantic Current’s Week 3 recap highlights the Lightning’s mixed results: a 4‑1 loss to the Rangers on Oct. 13, an overtime 4‑3 win over the Kraken on Oct. 15 powered by Victor Hedman, and a 4‑2 comeback victory against the Canucks on Oct. 17 thanks to two goals from Nikita Kucherov. Upcoming games: Lightning at Vegas on Oct. 20 (10:30 p.m. ET) and at Colorado on Oct. 23 (9 p.m. ET).
Mike Sullivan deflects blame for rookie defenseman Alberts Smits' limited ice time in the Rangers' 1‑0 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 19, 2026. Sullivan says assistant coach David Quinn set the defensive pairings, noting Smits logged just 14:46 minutes—his sixth‑most this season but the fewest among Rangers defensemen—and only five shifts after the second period. The fifth‑overall pick remains scoreless after 10 games and holds a minus‑one rating, while the Rangers sit 6‑3‑1.
