Casey Mittelstadt Extends Point Streak With Two Assists

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt stretched his point streak to five games on Saturday, dishing out two assists in a 6-2 loss to Boston. He posted a short-handed assist on a Riley Sheahan goal and helped Arttu Ruotsalainen to score in an even-strength situation. Mittelstadt is enjoying a very productive second half of the season […]

Mike Conley Will Miss Third Straight Game Saturday

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest versus the Raptors as he continues to work through a tight right hamstring. Joe Ingles has served as the team's de facto PG in Conley's absence, a role that he figures to reprise so long as both Conley and Donovan Mitchell […]

Falcons Take Receiver Frank Darby

With the 187th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons have selected Arizona State wide receiver Frank Darby. Darby's path to snaps this year might depend on what happens with the Julio Jones trade rumors, as the Falcons with Jones don't seem like they'll have a lot of available snaps at receiver. Darby […]

Craig Smith Scores Second Career Hat Trick

Boston Bruins right wing Craig Smith recorded his second career hat trick in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo. David Krejci registered three assists. The Bruins joined Florida and Arizona as the third team with four different hat-trick scorers this season. Smith posted his second consecutive multi-point outing, after finishing Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Sabres […]

Darius Garland, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lamar Stevens Out Saturday

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be significantly short-handed for Saturday's game versus the Heat as point guard Darius Garland (ankle), center Isaiah Hartenstein (concussion) and small forward Lamar Stevens (concussion) have all been deemed unavailable. Garland's loss is the most significant for Cleveland, who is likely to shift Collin Sexton over to the starting PG spot, […]

Marcus Stroman May Make Next Scheduled Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (hamstring) is hopeful that he will be available for his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the Cardinals. The righty prematurely exited Friday night's matchup against Philadelphia after throwing only 64 pitches throughout five innings of work. The 30-year-old has had a respectable season up this point, posting […]

Kristaps Porzingis, J.J. Redick Will Miss Saturday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and shooting guard J.J. Redick (heel) have both been ruled out for Saturday's contest versus Washington. Porzingis will have played just once in Dallas' past five games, seeing only 21 minutes in that lone outing. The move could be somewhat precautionary with the Mavericks playing the first leg […]

Kansas City Chiefs Draft Cornell Powell

With the 181st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Clemson wide receiver Cornell Powell. The Chiefs saw Sammy Watkins depart this offseason and then didn't really fill that hole on their roster, so while Powell is a fifth-round pick, there's a reasonable chance that he ends up seeing the […]

Donovan Mitchell Will Miss At Least Five More Games

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) was evaluated by the team's medical staff Saturday and it was determined that the All-Star will remain sidelined for at least the next week, putting him on the sidelines for the next five contests. Jordan Clarkson stands to continue seeing an elevated offensive role, while Joe Ingles has […]

Cowboys Draft Simi Fehoko

With the 179th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys have selected Stanford wide receiver Simi Fehoko. The big-bodied receiver had 37 catches last year for 574 yards and three touchdowns. He set the school's single-game reception record with 16 catches against UCLA. The Cowboys have three strong receivers on their team, but […]

Vikings Select Tight End Zach Davidson

With 168th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected Central Missouri tight end Zach Davidson. Davidson — who also played punter in college — didn't play last season because the pandemic canceled his team's season, but in 2019 he had 40 catches for 894 yards and 15 touchdowns while being named […]

Chiefs Draft Tight End Noah Gray

With the 162nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected tight end Noah Gray. Obviously, Kansas City isn't a great landing spot for any tight end since they have the league's best one in Travis Kelce, but Gray will have a chance to play in two tight end sets if […]

Vikings Take Receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette

With the 157th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have drafted Iowa wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette. Smith-Marsette caught 25 passes for 345 yards last season. His best college season was in 2019, when he caught 44 passes for 722 yards and five touchdowns. Iowa isn't a program known for producing wide receivers, […]

Eagles Draft Kenneth Gainwell

With the 150th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles have selected Memphis running back Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell joins a backfield that's headed by Miles Sanders but that has room for someone else to get some additional looks as Sanders' primary backup. Gainwell is one of the most interesting prospects in this class […]

Bengals Take Kicker Evan McPherson

With the 149th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected Florida kicker Evan McPherson. The top kicker in this class, McPherson converted 85 percent of his field goals and 99.3 percent of his extra points over his three years in Gainesville. Considering Bengals kicker Randy Bullock had his second-worst season in […]

Texans Draft Brevin Jordan

With the 147th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans have selected Miami tight end Brevin Jordan. Arguably one of the three best tight end prospects in this draft class, the Texans got a potential steal here in the fifth round. Jordan had 38 catches for 576 yards and seven touchdowns last season, […]

Jaguars Select Luke Farrell

With the 145th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Ohio State tight end Luke Farrell. Farrell wasn't among the top tight end prospects in this draft class, making the selection a little puzzling. He had just five catches this past season for the Buckeyes and four touchdowns over his four […]

Rams Draft Jacob Harris

With the 141st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have drafted UCF wide receiver/tight end Jacob Harris. Regardless of what position Harris sticks at in the NFL, the Rams are a tough spot for him to find minutes, as they already took Louisville receiver Tutu Atwell in the second, plus have […]

Saints Take Quarterback Ian Book

With the 133rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Saints have finally addressed their quarterback position, grabbing Notre Dame passer Ian Book. With all-time great quarterback Drew Brees retiring, there are lots of questions about what the post-Brees era looks like. The expectation is Jameis Winston starts in 2021, but there's no guarantee that […]

Ravens Draft Tylan Wallace

With the 131st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens have selected Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace. Wallace is the second receiver the team has taken in this year's draft after they grabbed Rashod Bateman in the first. With Marquise Brown also on the roster and this team focusing a lot on […]

Buccaneers Grab Jaelon Darden At 129

With the 129th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected North Texas wide receiver Jaelon Darden. One of the most intriguing players in this draft, Darden was a monster for the Mean Green, catching 74 passes last year for 1,190 yards and 19 touchdowns, setting a school record for receiving […]

C.J. Cron Drives In A Run In Friday's Loss

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a strikeout in a 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday. Cron knocked in Trevor Story with a single in the top of the first inning to open up the scoring for Colorado. D-Backs starter Madison Bumgarner would settle down after that and […]

Colts Select Tight End Kylen Granson

With the 127th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts have selected SMU tight end Kylen Granson. A surprising pick this early, Granson led SMU in receiving touchdowns last season and was a productive receiver in college, though he played at the Group of Five level. He's a little undersized for an NFL […]

Panthers Draft Chuba Hubbard

With the 126th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard. Considered a top running back prospect at one point, Hubbard saw a huge drop in yards per carry last year from 6.4 down to 4.7. That hurt his draft stock, and he fell to the […]

Jon Gray Hit Around By The Diamondbacks On Friday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray allowed five runs (four earned) on nine hits with a walk and three strikeouts in a 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday. Arizona hit Gray around on Friday, tagging him for five runs on nine hits. Gray surrendered four consecutive hits in the bottom of the third inning to […]

Anze Kopitar Collects Another Point For Los Angeles

Los Angeles Kings centerman Anze Kopitar continues to be a bright spot for his team. Kopitar netted the game-winning goal with just 56 seconds left in regulation to defeat Anaheim 2-1 on Friday. The veteran forward has registered 12 goals and 35 helpers in 48 games. Los Angeles has lost three of five matches, with […]

Washington Takes Tight End John Bates

With the 124th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football Team has drafted Boise State tight end John Bates. Bates had 12 catches for 117 yards in five games last season. He was a strong blocker for Boise State but never showed much consistency as a pass-catcher, never catching more than 22 passes […]

Patriots Draft Running Back Rhamondre Stevenson

With the 120th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots have selected Oklahoma running back Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson had 665 rushing yards last year but missed the first five games of the season due to suspension. He's agile despite being a bigger back and has some appeal as a pass-catching back as […]
