2026 NFL Draft Grades: Analyzing All 32 Teams' Classes - FOX Sports

Matthew Knies came out of the blocks flying in his Blue Jackets debut, but has cooled significantly since. What's up with that? Adam Vingan takes a look.

Auston Matthews is tied for fifth in NHL scoring, was last week's first star, and has 12 point sin his past five games. What's behind this production? Adam Vingan takes a look at the numbers to see how Matthews has performed.

Entering his 12th year in the National Hockey League, Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid is off and running to the best statistical start to a season in his Hall of Fame career. The Oilers captain recorded his second five-point outing on the year in a 6-2 win over the Utah Mammoth on Saturday night, bringing his season total to six goals and 19 assists for a league-leading 23 points, the best mark since Mario Lemiuex’s all-time best of 27 through eight games in 1995. The Richmond Hill, Ont., native is now on pace for 241 points over the NHL’s new 84-game regular season schedule, a mark that would shatter his career best of 153 and would place him alongside another Oilers great in Wayne Gretzky as the only players in league history to eclipse the 200-point mark. It is no coincidence that McDavid’s red-hot start has come after new head coach Mike Babcock placed fellow Hart Trophy winner Leon Draisaitl on his wing in a re-worked Oilers top line. “I think Leo and I, when we did play together it was just a one-off or a situation where we needed to find one and we knew it wasn’t necessarily a long-term thing,” McDavid said.
