Colorado Avalanche forward Zachary L'Heureux is sidelined for an extended period after an upper-body injury sustained on Oct. 13 against the Dallas Stars. Initially listed day-to-day, his status has now been upgraded to week-to-week, and head coach Jared Bednar says the recovery is "long‑term" with no clear timeline.

Lastly, a Tourism Economics report inflates Jacksonville Jaguars’ $21.7 billion impact, a claim Jaguars owner Shahid Khan disputes, and a note links the Brewers’ World Series win to the Rays’ sea‑level park.

The stalemate fuels speculation about his future after 12 years in Detroit, as the team navigates the dispute amid the regular season.

Plano voters narrowly defeat a 53.9%–46.1% ballot measure that would have added rental‑car, hotel, parking and ticket surcharges to raise $700 million for a $1 billion Dallas Stars arena. Despite a $1 million spending advantage for opponents and Texas’s history of approving sports subsidies, residents balked at the public cost and traffic concerns. The city council meanwhile moved ahead with a 900‑acre tax‑increment reinvestment zone that would divert $250 million in property taxes for 41 years. Stars CEO Brad Alberts says the arena could still proceed via state‑level financing, but the path remains uncertain.
