The Washington Capitals have brought back a familiar face, signing their former second-round draft pick Brett Leason to a one-year, two-way contract. Capitals announced they are bringing back forward Brett Leason, signed him to one-year, two-way contract: average annual value of $775,000 at the NHL level and $250,000 in the AHL. The Capitals place Leason on waivers for the purpose of loaning him to the Hershey (AHL). — Tom Gulitti (@TomGulittiNHL) October 27, 2025 It's a minimum AA...
The New York Rangers are likely going to trade Brennan Othmann this year. He is a 22-year-old former first-round pick by the Rangers with just 26 games of NHL experience. He also didn't make the team out of training camp and has only been alright in the AHL. But the Rangers just called him up and slotted him into the third line after one assist in four games for the Hartford Wolf Pack. That move seems like much more of a showcase rather than a deserving call-up, as interest has risen for the R...
The Wisconsin Badgers traveled to Eugene on Saturday to face a high-powered Oregon Ducks team, and while the final score—a 21 to 7 loss—wasn’t what Badger fans wanted, there were several key takeaways from the contest that will shape how the team approaches the rest of the season. Defensive Grit Amidst Adversity Wisconsin’s defense, while […]
The Carolina Hurricanes are in a very unique spot that teams are rarely in. They are a true Stanley Cup contender, but have a lot of cap space to work with and make at least one big addition this season. The team has made a run at a high-end player each of the past two seasons and acquired one: first Jake Guentzel and then Mikko Rantanen last season. In the offseason, the Hurricanes went after Nikolaj Ehlers and landed him, but they still have over $8 million in cap space to utilize this seaso...
After beating the Buffalo Sabres, the Maple Leafs improved to 4-4-1 to start the season… matching their record through nine games last season. They’ve posted some bad losses in this stretch, so this isn’t said to completely dismiss their play to date, but some perspective is important here. For all the focus on the Leafs’ […]

While the Las Vegas Raiders were on a bye during Week 8, they did get some help when it comes to their odds to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. With the New York Jets pulling off a comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals, there are no more winless teams in […]
The Jets won their first game of the 2025 season in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With the team out of the Playoff race, all eyes are on positioning for next year’s NFL Draft. The Jets began the day owning the top pick. They dropped in the order with the win but only to […]
What a wonderful time of the year to be a sports fan. The World Series has finally begun. Both the NHL and NBA have started their respective seasons, along with their various farm system leagues. If you have Spanish channels, you can binge-watch soccer games all day, every day. College football is at the midway […]
We’re three weeks in and it’s still early, but there are some storylines taking shape that look like they could have legs. Last week, we looked at five early surprises I wasn’t buying quite yet . This week, let’s flip the script and come at this from the other side: Five early stories that I didn’t expect, but that I’m starting to think might be the real deal.

The third full week of the season was another good one for the Orange and Black, as the team went 2-1-0 in three games this week. With two home wins over the Seattle Kraken and the New York Islanders, and a loss in Ottawa between them, the Flyers improved to 4-3-1 in their first eight games of the season.
In this week’s three stars, we have some familiar faces from last week’s stars, and a new entrant to the list!

The Philadelphia Flyers are looking for a top-four defenseman, and David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports general manager Danny Briere has the flexibility to act. After reinforcing the forward group, the front office is now surveying the market for a blue liner in his mid 20s who fits the core and can handle matchup minutes right away. With cap room available, Philadelphia is in a good spot to chase a multi-asset deal if the right name shakes free. The Fourth Period: The San Jose Sh...
While the Wisconsin Badgers football team couldn’t get the job done on Saturday, the women’s volleyball team came from behind to beat the Oregon Ducks on Sunday in a 3-1 victory to improve to 15-3 on the year. It was a thrilling match, with each set being decided by at most three points. Mimi Colyer […]
Ten games in, the Rangers are already testing everyone’s patience—inconsistent effort, patchwork lines, and a familiar lack of scoring leave more questions than answers.
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As always, I’ve got a brand new mailbag ready to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their take. This week, we’re discussing the Oilers’ scoring woes, Isaac Howard’s spot in the lineup, puck management, and more. If you’ve got…
The Minnesota Vikings are next up on the Detroit Lions’ schedule, and they are currently fighting through some adversity. They’ve lost three of their last four games, have a laundry list of injuries—particularly on their offensive line, where they’ve been missing both starting tackles and their starting center for much of the season. But there […]
You know the Green Bay Packers will be favored in their Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers. Green Bay is 5-1-1, coming off a huge, emotional victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and is playing at home. The Panthers just got drubbed 40-9 by the Buffalo Bills and may be starting Andy Dalton at quarterback […]

The Edmonton Oilers goalie trade candidates conversation is back on the front burner, and Matt Larkin of Daily Faceoff just mapped the market in tiers. With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in their prime and the window still open, Larkin argues Edmonton should explore upgrades even if Stuart Skinner steadies. His board ranges from low-risk veteran help to true franchise changers, giving general manager Stan Bowman multiple paths if he decides to act. Alex Lyon has been exceptional for ...
The first two weeks of the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins season have gone way better than anybody expected, and this past week was no exception. I looked at the three games they were facing a week ago and realistically expected three or maybe four points out of it. They ended up getting five. The games against […]
The Buffalo Bills (5-2) relied on a tremendous performance from running back James Cook and a dominant defensive effort to get back in the win column with a 40-9 trouncing of the Carolina Panthers (4-4) Sunday afternoon in Charlotte. The win snaps Buffalo’s two-game losing streak and helps the Bills keep pace with the New […]
The Calgary Flames have gotten off to an unfortunate start, but one that some likely predicted for them after being carried by Dustin Wolf in net last season. It's a team that has a tough time scoring and goaltending hasn't been as sharp this season. The Flames are in a spot where they will be a seller this season, and are going to get interest in their players. While there are many reports involving Nazem Kadri, the player we're focusing on here is Blake Coleman, who David Pagnotta said, "He'...
The Charlotte Checkers had a rough go off of it on home ice this weekend as they were swept by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at Bojangles Coliseum.
Charlotte got blanked 4-0 on Friday, with Sergei Murashov posting a 25-save shutout. Former NHLer Danton Heinen scored a goal and added two assists and Alex Alexeyev, Ville Koivunen and Joona Koppanen also lit the lamp for the Penguins. Cooper Black took the loss, finishing with 18 saves on 22 shots. Jack Devine, Ben Steeves, Nolan Foote ...
