The New York Rangers recently broke an NHL record — but it’s probably not the one they were hoping for. In their first three home games of the season, the Rangers scored exactly zero goals, surpassing the 2001-02 Florida Panthers for the most consecutive minutes gone without a goal on home ice to start the season.
New England Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel returned to his old stomping grounds where he defeated the Tennessee Titans 31-13 on Sunday. It was the Patriots' fourth consecutive victory and fifth overall on the season, surpassing their number of wins from each of the last two seasons.

A question arises. What constitutes value?
MVP awards are voted on...
The Boston Bruins came into the season with high hopes. They’ve made the last eight consecutive Stanley Cup Playoffs and 15 of the last 17. Just two seasons ago, they broke the NHL record for most points in a single season.
The Nashville Predators were supposed to be fun. After making some of the biggest signings in the offseason and making the 2024 playoffs, the Preds are 30th in the NHL standings and competing for the 2025 first overall pick.
The Vancouver Canucks have been plagued with issues throughout the entire season. On paper, they’re not a worse team than that which forced Game 7 in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.
Utah Hockey Club is finally getting a name. Smith Entertainment Group, owners of the Utah Jazz, acquired majority ownership rights to the NHL team back in April 2024.
