On Tuesday, the league announced that NHL-licensed cloth face coverings are now available on NHLShop.com for all 31 teams. The NHL’s proceeds will support the Feeding America (U.S.) and Food Banks Canada COVID-19 Response Fund. “The health, well-being and safety of our fans and all communities across Canada, the United States and around the world, is our number one priority,” said Kim Davis, NHL EVP of social Impact, growth initiatives and legislative affairs in a news release....

Marchand, who notched a career-high 100 points during the regular season, tallied two goals and an assist in Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs, setting up a decisive Game 7 in Boston. “That’s just who he is. It’s how he’s become an elite player in the league," Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy said postgame. “He goes to another level, and most of the good ones do this time of year....

In the franchise’s best season to date, the Panthers earned the Presidents’ Trophy as the top team in the league. Right behind them was the Avalanche, who finished first in the Western Conference and consistently was one of the best teams all season long. Looking at the rest of the Eastern Conference, the Maple Leafs enjoyed a successful regular season on the back of Auston Matthews’ 60-goal season. The Lightning are eyeing a potential three-peat after winning in 2020 and ‘21 with their core group still intact....

Tuesday night, the Sharks scored a goal that should've beaten the Buffalo Sabres (considering that it was the Sabres, they should've scored a bunch more, but that's San Jose's fault). Your browser does not support iframes. That's a goal. Oh man, that's *really* a goal. But when is a goal not a goal? In the moments between a referee's visual observation and the act of forcing air into a whistle and creating a sound....

That's because it's true; Bishop has emerged as a legitimate starting goaltender and potential Vezina candidate for the Lightning; his .932 save percentage is third in the league, and he generally seems, at 27, to have matured into the guy Steve Yzerman thought he may have been last year. — NHL trade rumors: Ryan Kesler and the Penguins? Conacher, meanwhile, is free for the taking. That doesn't mean he isn't a useful player, though — just not the guy who had 24 points (9G, 15A) in the 34 games before Ottawa acquired him....

On February 20th, the Minnesota Wild traded right winger Charlie Coyle to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Ryan Donato and a conditional pick in this summer’s draft. The very next day, the Los Angeles Kings traded veteran forward and two-time Stanley Cup winner Carl Hagelin to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2019 draft and a conditional sixth-round pick in next year’s draft....

Toronto sent Clarkson, signed to the league’s worst contract ($5.25 million a season until 2020), to the Blue Jackets on Thursday for winger Nathan Horton. MORE: Jagr dealt to Panthers | Leafs deal Winnik Horton’s contract isn’t particularly good itself; he counts $5.3 million against the cap until 2019, and his career is in jeopardy because of a back injury. Still, the Leafs — with essentially limitless financial resources — can put Horton on long-term injured reserve and get his contract off the salary cap....

The NHL Players’ Association announced on Monday that it chose not to reopen the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the league after the 2019-20 season, meaning it will last through the 2021-22 campaign. MORE: NHL free agency 2019: Complete list of all RFA, UFA players This, of course, avoids a lockout for the 2019-20 campaign, as the NHL also elected not to reopen the CBA on Aug. 30. “While the players have concerns with the current CBA, we agree with the league that working together to address those concerns is the preferred course of action instead of terminating the agreement this season,” NHLPA executive director Don Fehr said in a statement regarding the decision....

Alongside a picture of his shredded form, Diaz wrote on Twitter- Nick Diaz is supposedly set to make a return to the octagon after a six-year hiatus. In his last UFC outing in January 2015, the Stockton native dropped a unanimous decision against Anderson Silva, a result which was later overturned to a no contest after ‘The Spider’ flunked a drug test. Nick Diaz hasn’t tasted victory in almost a decade....

According to ESPN, Diaz has agreed to fight Jorge Masvidal at UFC 235 in Las Vegas next March. If Diaz fights Masvidal in March, it’ll be his first fight in four years. His last bout came in 2015, when he lost to Anderson Silva at UFC 183. Initially the result was unanimous in Silva’s favor, but it was changed to no-contest after both parties failed their drug tests. That may have been his most recent fight, but he hasn’t actually won since his UFC 137 victory over BJ Penn back in 2011....

But neither loss will feel as significant as offensive lineman Nick Gates’ injury, who suffered a graphic leg break in the Week 2 loss to the Washington Football Team. Gates remains in the hospital after undergoing surgery last Friday and will require another operation to address the ailment. Giants OL Nick Gates’ career in the NFL may be over Things took a drastic turn after Giants head coach Joe Judge revealed the injury could force the 25-year-old into retirement....

The two haven’t always been the best of friends, with the Australian once referring to the 21-time Grand Slam champion as “a tool.” However, the dynamic of their relationship changed when Kyrgios became one of the few players to support Djokovic during his controversial deportation from Australia a year ago due to his COVID-19 vaccination status. During a post-match press conference at the 2023 Adelaide International 1, Djokovic thanked Kyrgios for backing him during his Australian Open ban, something he truly appreciates and respects....

In his first competitive match since the Australian Open in late January, the 26-year-old looked sharp as he wrapped up a free-flowing first set before breaking his Argentine opponent in the first game of what would be a one-way second set. Kyrgios was knocked out in the second round of the Aus Open in the men’s singles but teamed up with Thanasi Kokkinakis to claim a shock doubles title. Despite it being nearly six weeks since his last game, the world number 137 showed little rust in his first match at Indian Wells - a tournament he was handed a wildcard for....

This was a big signing for the New England Patriots because they took the star cornerback from their AFC East division rival Buffalo Bills. Since signing with the Patriots, Gilmore has been a centerpiece to the New England Patriots secondary. Stephon Gilmore has produced great numbers since joining the New England Patriots: 168 total tackles11 interceptions2 touchdowns51 pass deflections Some other notable stats that Gilmore has brought to the New England defense is one sack, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery....

When I make a wind forecast a few days before the event, I feel very confident that the forecast will verify. This is because wind impacts an area relatively uniformly. That is, the stadium will see the same general wind as the rest of the city. Because winds are such a reliable weather variable, I think it’s actionable to see a high wind game a few days out and tinker lineups accordingly (i....

The Giants rookie shined under center as he made his first career start, completing 23 of 36 passes for 336 yards and two touchdowns to snap the team’s two-game skid to start the season and give New York fans hope for the future. Jones helped the Giants come back from an 18-point deficit at halftime and sealed the victory with his go-ahead run into the end zone. It didn’t hurt that Buccaneers kicker Matt Gay missed the 44-yard attempt for the win as time expired, but Eli Manning had faith in his replacement from Jones’ first score of the game....

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has Newton listed on its props board for 40.5 rushing yards, and we’re taking the OVER. While the Seahawks’ Russell Wilson and 49ers’ Collin Kaepernick have their own differences and similarities to Newton, it’s worth noting that both of those quarterbacks rushed for over 40.5 yards in each of their matchups against the Cardinals this season. Newton did not run as frequently as he did in years past (partially due to injuries), but he’s averaged 61....

With two games on Saturday and another double-header on Sunday, there is plenty of action to look forward to.
