Kevin Harvick May Lurk Around Top Ten Sunday

Kevin Harvick has a way of sticking around the top ten positions at Las Vegas. Over the past eight races, the Stewart-Haas driver has finished in the top twelve seven times.

Who is the No. 1 Overall Pick for 2023 Fantasy Football? Making The Case for Justin Jefferson

Going into the 2022 season, Cooper Kupp was the consensus WR1 following an amazing 2021 campaign. In many 2022 drafts, Justin Jefferson was the second wide receiver off of draft boards following Kupp. It turns out that Jefferson was the better pick as he is fresh off turning in a career year for the Minnesota […]

Who is the No. 1 Overall Pick for 2023 Fantasy Football? Making The Case for Christian McCaffrey

San Francisco 49ers superstar running back Christian McCaffrey was on the radar as a No. 1 overall pick candidate heading into 2022 despite back-to-back injury-riddled campaigns, and those who opted to take McCaffrey over Jonathan Taylor reaped the benefits. McCaffrey was traded from the Carolina Panthers to the San Francisco 49ers prior to Week 7 […]

Who is the No. 1 Overall Pick for 2023 Fantasy Football? Making The Case for Derrick Henry

Going into the 2022 season, fantasy managers were hesitant to select Derrick Henry with a top selection due to his return from a Lisfranc injury that knocked him out for the final 10 weeks of 2021 until the Titans’ playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.  Henry started the season slow to his standards with 34 […]

Who is the No. 1 Overall Pick for 2023 Fantasy Football? Making The Case for Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley was a nerve-wracking fantasy pick this past season. Barkley's 2020 season ended in Week 2 with a torn ACL and his 2021 season was putrid, finishing as the RB30. He was a homerun pick this year, going in the late second round of most drafts and finishing as the RB5. The most eager […]

Christopher Bell Starts Tenth On Sunday At Vegas

Christopher Bell was not the fastest Toyota on Saturday in qualifying. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver did inch into the top ten but some expected a result closer to the pole. Bell even turned in laps in practice only in 12th. That was three tenths of a second off the pole pace. Bell seemed a […]

Bubba Wallace Might Have Something To Show Sunday

Bubba Wallace qualified 13th for Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, in last year's Fall race, the 23XI Racing driver was in Kurt Busch's car and that mattered. Wallace won the first stage and led 29 laps before an accident ended his day. The No. 23 driver improved on the Vegas intermediate track […]

Patrice Bergeron Hits Game-Winner Against The Rangers

Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron scored in a second consecutive game and finished with the game-winning marker as the team continued its domination with a 4-2 victory over the Rangers Saturday.

Austin Cindric Steady In Qualifying For Las Vegas

Austin Cindric was right around the top-ten when it came to times in practice. His laps were in the low to mid 29's and his Team Penske car was gaining speed. As the track warmed up for qualifying, the No. 2 Ford managed to end up ninth at 29.401 seconds. That was a bit over […]

Anders Lee Nets Two Goals In Saturday's Win

New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee lit the lamp twice in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Detroit, reaching 24 markers for the campaign.

Adam Henrique Out With An MCL Sprain

Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique (knee) could be done for the season, with the veteran needing five-to-six weeks to recover from an MCL sprain suffered on Feb. 21. He's already been unavailable for five games and the Ducks have no reason to rush him back, as the team sits near the bottom of the Western […]

Matthew Murray Set To Return Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Matthew Murray (ankle) is expected to return to the crease for Saturday's encounter with Vancouver. He's been out with an ankle sprain since mid-January and Murray is set to log only his 20th start of the campaign. The 28-year-old has had a good time in Toronto, going 11-5-2 with a 2.73 […]

Martin Truex Jr. Starts Back In 15th For Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. begins Sunday 15th at Las Vegas on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver thought he may have a top-ten car in qualifying (25th in practice). However, some early issues with speed ended that notion quickly. The No. 19 Toyota is a top-ten merchant on the intermediate track with five top-ten results in […]

Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett Return Saturday

Florida Panthers centers Aleksander Barkov (hand) and Sam Bennett (lower body) will rejoin the lineup for Saturday's big clash with the Penguins.

Corey Lajoie Makes Most Of Spire Car Saturday

Corey Lajoie starts in the middle of the pack for Sunday's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Lajoie qualified 19th after finishing practice in 28th. The No. 7 Chevy seemed to gained speed for Spire Motorsports and his qualifying lap reflected that confidence. Lajoie is a veteran who knows NASCAR tracks well. He has […]

Tristan Jarry Not Feeling Well Enough To Start Saturday

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will dress only as the backup Saturday versus Florida because he woke up not feeling well. This is quite a blow for the playoff-chasing Penguins, who have gotten 19 wins from 32 starts from their No. 1 but only 11 wins in 27 starts from Casey DeSmith. DeSmith has allowed […]

Noah Gragson Starts 25th On Sunday At Las Vegas

Noah Gragson got to qualify in his own race car this weekend. The Legacy Motor Club driver had to hop into Alex Bowman's No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports car last October. That was because Bowman suffered a concussion. Gragson was able to pilot that car to an 11th-place result (started 17th). Gragson's No. 42 Chevy was […]

Justin Haley Struggles With Chevy On Saturday At Vegas

Justin Haley and his Kaulig Racing car struggled again at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday. He will begin Sunday 27th for the Pennzoil 400.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Trying To Recreate 2020 Vegas Magic

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. starts Sunday 16th for the Pennzoil 400 from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The JTG-Daugherty Racing driver lost some crucial tenths around Turn 3 and Turn 4. If not for that, Stenhouse Jr. might have started close to ninth like last March. His No. 47 Chevy looked rather fast initially but seemed to […]
