Big news this afternoon.
Just a few minutes ago, Elliotte Friedman (Sportsnet) reported that there's an update on the Connor Hellebuyck situation. As a reminder, the goaltender is currently suspended by the Jets.
But according to Friedman, that suspension is set to end… very soon. In fact, it will end on Friday—in less than a week.
All of this means that by then, Hellebuyck will be back with the team.
And most importantly, he'll start getting paid again.https://t.co/bGye3CrDPk

Major League Baseball announced its Gold Glove finalists last Wednesday, naming six finalists at each position—three in the American League and three in the National League. The Toronto Blue Jays, in fact, have no fewer than five players who were nominated.
But once again, MLB has erred in selecting the year's best defensive players.
It's worth noting that these decisions are based on two key factors: 75% of the vote comes from the managers and coaches of each club, while the remaining 25%
We hear all sorts of things about the famous meritocracy, which, according to many, should govern every decision made by the good leaders of the Flanelle and the NHL. Thus, meritocracy is supposedly THE way to do things, the guiding principle, the only way to properly manage a team and an organization.
Yet meritocracy—much like the oft-debunked myth of “selecting the best player available” in the draft (when in reality, 80% of the time, executives choose the player who is the b
Now that the Dodgers have been eliminated, the baseball world's attention in Los Angeles is focused on Tarik Skubal.
Will the pitcher sign a long-term contract with the Dodgers? As a client of Scott Boras, he has declined to comment on the matter.
There are a few signs, however, that suggest the Dodgers are by no means the only team to take seriously in the race.
In fact, here are three reasons why the pitcher might very well sign with a team other than the Dodgers this winter.
1. The New York M
Alexander Zharovsky isn't having a great season in Russia. The Canadiens' prospect, who showed a lot of promise in 2025–26 (even though he eventually hit a wall), has been slow to regain last year's form.
Heading into today's game, he had two goals and six assists in 16 games—a far cry from his 42-point pace in 59 games last year.
And heading into today's game, Zharovsky was in the midst of a five-game point drought. So we were hoping to see him get back on track sooner rather than l
The Montreal Canadiens practiced this morning in preparation for their Saturday night game against the Buffalo Sabres at the Bell Centre.
This practice gave us some important insights into tonight's lineup.
Jacob Fowler will be the starting goaltender, while David Reinbacher and Oliver Kapanen will make their season debuts.
Fowler was the first goaltender to take the ice and the first to come off, and we later received confirmation that he would be in net tonight.Jacob Fowler starts tonight

Even though the Milwaukee Brewers, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Cleveland Guardians have, over the years, gotten us used to impressive runs in the playoffs, the 2026 postseason is treating us to something we've never seen before: all three teams are still in the running—and they're all in the championship series.
What's even more remarkable is seeing the authority with which the Brewers swept aside the two-time World Series champions in just four games. Without a doubt, the 2026 division se
The Montreal Canadiens are off to a rather disappointing start to the season with a 3-3-1 record, when, obviously, we expect more from this team than a .500 record.
It's clear that the Habs have been a bit unlucky in some games and deserved better results against the Nashville Predators and the Washington Capitals, but still, it's a disappointing record so far.
And it's not just the record that's disappointing and a bit concerning.
Some are starting to question Cole Caufield, who hasn't had a gr
The Laval Rocket is once again off to a very strong start to the season, as has been the case for several seasons now.
Daniel Jacob's team currently has four wins in five games, which is an excellent record—the second-best in the entire American Hockey League.
Last night, the Rocket secured its fourth win of the season with an impressive, unexpected five-goal comeback.
Laval was down 4–0 midway through the second period against the Belleville Senators but ultimately won 5–4 in

With the series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers now behind us, all eyes in the baseball world are now on the American League Championship Series, featuring the Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays.
Yesterday, the two teams were scheduled to face off at Progressive Field in Cleveland, with the home team leading the series two games to one. However, as is often the case during the postseason and in this part of the country, inclement weather reared its head and prev
It was a very quiet Friday night yesterday in the National Hockey League.
Only two games were on the schedule.
Here's what stood out from the night, though.
1. Frédéric Brunet's heartwarming story continues
Every year, we expect to see the Boston Bruins end up at the bottom of the standings, but every time, they manage to surprise us and prove us wrong.
Once again this season, they weren't necessarily expected to be among the top teams in the East, but for now—even if the sam
We’re all eager to see where Dylan Larkin ends up.
The situation has been dragging on since the end of last season, and there have been a lot of developments since then.
First, his (very) short list of destinations where he'd be willing to be traded has grown longer. We know he doesn't want to play in Canada to begin with.
The asking price has also changed since this summer. In August, the Wings wanted a first-line center in exchange for Larkin, but the teams on his list simply weren't wil
During last Saturday’s game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings, defenseman Mike Matheson was injured.
He hasn't played since and was listed as day-to-day.
Still, the worst was feared, as Matheson was seen staggering at the airport on Tuesday morning. The footage was far from reassuring.
However, Renaud Lavoie provided some encouraging news about him.
On the show “JiC,” he reassured Habs fans by saying that his status hasn't changed and that he's still cons
When will the Dylan Larkin saga finally end?
Ever since the Red Wings visited the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on October 10, the rumors have picked up steam again, fueled by chants of “Larkin” from the crowd.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that if you have to try to convince a guy to come play here—a guy who doesn't want to play in Canada to begin with—it's not worth paying top dollar to acquire him.
That said, if the Habs were to add Larkin as their second-line
The Boston Red Sox have been looking to trade Jarren Duran for years. It's one of baseball's worst-kept secrets.
I've said before that it's time for the team to put him out of his misery. I still believe that.
At some point, I don't think it's a coincidence that his 2026 season was disastrous by his standards. He must feel trapped in Boston.
And that's probably what causes him to act strangely at times. I'm not saying this to defend him, by the way, but…
When it comes time to think about
Before the trade that sent him to St. Louis, Mason McTavish was making headlines in Montreal.
There was a lot of talk about the possibility of the Habs picking him up from Anaheim because things weren't going well for him with the Ducks… and, above all, because he had an appealing profile for a team like the Canadiens.
But now…
But now, McTavish is no longer available. And that's a shame in a way… because the young center has been on fire since his debut with the Blues.

Arber Xhekaj isn’t a perfect defender.
He has his strengths… and he also has his weaknesses. But you know what?
The Sheriff hasn't been playing bad hockey since the start of the season. Again, it's not perfect… but it's far from disastrous either.
What's helping him?
Arber has a better understanding of the game and is able to control himself better on the ice. We saw it in Washington on Wednesday night: he got into a bit of a scuffle with Tom Wilson, but he stayed within the

Let’s check in with Damson Idris, who is in Paris filming Miles & Juliette, in which Idris stars as legendary jazz musician Miles Davis. That is a really great piece of casting. Idris is on set with Romanian-born French actress Anamaria Vartolomei, who stars as French actress and singer Juliette Gréco. The film is written by actress and writer Zora Howard and is directed by Bill Pohlad (who is also an actor and whose best-known film as a director is 2014’s Brian Wilson bio
You can’t say the Blue Jackets are off to a good start this season.
That would simply be untrue.
The Columbus team has a 2-3-0 record after five games, and that's not good enough in the eyes of head coach Rick Bowness. And he took the opportunity (again) today to say he's fed up with his team…
The Jackets have allowed 21 goals in just five games, which ranks them 30th in the NHL in goals allowed per game since the start of the season. And that's exactly what's not sitting well with
Jason Statham releases a steady diet of B-grade action flicks, but every once in a while, he stars in a movie that’s a cut above his usual fare (see also: Wrath of Man). A couple years ago, one such film emerged, The Beekeeper, which is just the right combination of bonkers premise and stellar action, becoming an instant fun-action movie fave. Now, a sequel is on its way, aptly titled The Beekeeper 2.The Stath is back as Clay, and honestly, I did not remember the character’s name. He
When Patrice Bergeron talks about Nick Suzuki, he clearly doesn't have much negative to say about the Montreal Canadiens' captain.
The former Boston Bruins player once again heaped praise on the Habs' No. 14… highlighting his defensive progress and the fact that he pays close attention to the little details, which can make all the difference in the NHL.
And this is certainly not the first time Bergeron has been so effusive in his praise of Suzuki…
This time, Bergeron—during a
The Milwaukee Brewers have a record of 22 wins and just four losses since September 7. And for the first time in 44 years, they're heading to the World Series after crushing and sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the American League Championship Series.
The Dodgers led in all four games—a total of six times in the series—but the Brewers came back from behind each time to win, with the most spectacular comeback coming last night (Thursday).
The Brewers pulled off this feat despite hi
Does Davis Alexander deserve the Canadian Football League (CFL) Most Valuable Player award?As the regular season draws to a close, the Montreal Alouettes' quarterback boasts impressive statistics that significantly bolster his case. His teammate Tyson Philpot, however, could shake things up with a historic season.

Céline Dion’s will perform the final two shows on this leg of her Paris residency tonight and tomorrow. Officially it’ll be 16 shows but unofficially it’s so much more than that. Because there’s been a daily pre-show when she leaves the hotel and the nightly post-show when she returns to the hotel, complete with posing, waving, more singing, sometimes dancing, and always emoting.

Marc-André “Mapper” Perreault now has his own daily show—Monday through Thursday—on 99.5 FM in Montreal and BLVD 102.1 in Quebec City. He's on the air from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. alongside Alex Laramée, a young talent from the Montreal area.
I have the privilege of appearing on Mapper's show on Thursday evenings around 7:00 p.m. If you're looking for a laid-back show that's unlike anything else on the air right now, Mapper will be right up your alley.

Imagine you walk into a mirrored room, and every mirror shows you a completely accurate reflection of yourself, so accurate that, in fact, you begin to doubt which one of you is the real you. Is it enough to feel your physical body in space or is every reflection just as much you as you, endless replica of a self lost to itself. This is the nature of You Can See Everything, the documentary about disgraced Theranos CEO and convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes made by filmmakers Lance Oppenheim an
