Tyron Smith Missing Week 11 Due To Injury

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) is not expected to suit up on Sunday afternoon, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Lamar Jackson's Week 11 Status Up In The Air

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) is far from a lock to play on Sunday.

It was the second goal that might have been […]

Washington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov posted his second shutout in as many games on Saturday night. In San Jose, the Russian goalie stopped all 22 shots faced.

He had just two shots […]

Kevin Lankinen Allows Five Goals in Chicago Defeat

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen gave up five goals to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. Unfortunately, he was hung out to dry by his team's defense or lack thereof.
