Updating a previous report, Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will start Wednesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes.

Winnipeg Jets right wing Patrik Laine (upper body) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators, according to head coach Paul Maurice.

Scottie Scheffler comes into the week as the second betting favorite at odds of 16/1, searching for his first victory on the PGA Tour.

Neil Magny Goes The Distance But Can't Pull Out The Victory

In what was by far the most important bout on the card as far as rankings are concerned, Neil Magny (24-8) was unable to pull out the win on Wednesday against Michael Chiesa, who was ranked one spot higher in the UFC's welterweight standings.

Michael Chiesa Scores Big Win In Dominant Showing

In a close-knit welterweight division, this main event will determine which man will get a catapult shot to a top-five standing. Michael Chiesa (17-4) obviously knew this stepping into Wednesday's main event with Neil Magny. Chiesa dominated the five rounds of action, taking the unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46.) Though Chiesa only netted 24 significant […]

Carey Price Back In Action Against Canucks

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will face off against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.

Price remains one of the NHL's elite netminders, despite playing in arguably the highest-scoring division in hockey. He […]

Emiliano Grillo Has Solid Value At The American Express

Emiliano Grillo has just one top-10 finish on the season but could have great value this week at The American Express. There are a lot of aspects to his game that should set up well on this course. He is a great ball-striker, ranking 11th in proximity to the hole and 22nd in strokes gained […]

Mounir Lazzez Unable To Capitalize Wednesday

Mounir Lazzez (10-2) got his first real taste of big-time UFC welterweight action on Wednesday, facing Brazilian veteran Warlley Alves.

Lanto Griffin Set To Make Second Appearance At PGA West

Lanto Griffin has just one career start at PGA West, missing the cut in 2018.

Robin Lehner Looking To Stay Undefeated Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner will be between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes.

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper will start Wednesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will guard the crease on Wednesday night against the Anaheim Ducks.

This suggests Talbot will get most of the playing time, but Kahkonen will be effective when he sees action because […]

Warlley Alves Impresses With Big TKO Victory

Warlley Alves (14-4) dominated with his kicks in Wednesday's co-main event. Just 2:35 into the first round is all Alves needed to rebound from his most recent defeat.

Ike Villanueva Lands The Knockout Of The Night

After losing his only two UFC bouts thus far, Ike Villanueva (17-11) landed the potential knockout of the night on Wednesday to show what got him into the UFC in the first place.
