New England Patriots' Drake Maye only threw one passing touchdown through three weeks of the regular season. Is there a solution to Maye's scoring drought? FOX Sports' Terry Bradshaw offered one. Even coming off a regular season where Maye led New England all the way to a Super Bowl with MVP conversations along the way, the production has not been evident this season. For Bradshaw, the solution is simple: bench him. "Sometimes you get into such a rut that you lose your confidence, which is what’s happening. Sometimes, you have to bench 'em," Bradshaw said on FOX NFL Sunday.  If Maye were to be benched, backup quarterback Tommy DeVito would take his place. Through all three games against the Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Jacksonville Jaguars, Maye posted a 63% completion rate for 585 yards, one touchdown and six interceptions. Last week's loss against the Jaguars, though, was a particularly bad showing. He threw two interceptions, with one coming in the end zone, and lost a fumble when the ball slipped out of his hand as he attempted a pass. Bradshaw made it clear that benching Maye still means he's New England's No.

Pre-Scout: Oilers leaky PK needs bounceback against league-best Mammoth PP - Oilers Nation

The Edmonton Oilers have only surrendered nine goals in the last five games, which speaks to their quality goaltending, structured five-on-five play, and consistent forecheck. The issue with that number is that five of those nine goals are against the Oilers’ penalty kill, which was a point of emphasis for new associate coach DJ Smith after the whipping that PK took in the postseason. That category has been tough sledding overall for the team, which sits at 68.2 per cent for the season, fifth worst in the NHL. The opposition has scored on the power play in five of seven games, and the Utah Mammoth made it happen twice, punishing Josh Samanski’s double-minor for high-sticking and the team’s bench minor on Thursday. The Mammoth PP bumped up to first in the league at 37.5 per cent, and have scored multiple goals on the man advantage in a game a league-best five times. “I think we’re just attacking,” said Barrett Hayton on the power play’s success. He extended his point streak to five games. “Obviously that first unit’s been so good snapping around, they’re so dangerous, and I think they’ve done a great job kind of keeping that mindset.

Islanders vs Maple Leafs Prediction, Picks, Prop Bets For October 17, 2026 - NHL - Covers.com

How can I not go with Auston Matthews after he's cashed this play for us in two straight games? He's clearly on another level now that he's healthy, and his shooting percentage (40%) is among the league's best on the man advantage. When Matthews is shooting, he's hitting twine - he has four goals across his last three games as a result. Let's pot one more against this stingy Islanders defense. I'm loving William Nylander's shot volume right now, as the Leafs winger has registered at least three shots on goal in four consecutive games. He's averaging 6.5 shot attempts per contest, the 23rd-highest mark in the NHL, giving us plenty of reason to believe his hot streak can continue. With the Islanders playing an undisciplined brand of hockey, watch for Willy on the power play to drive us over the line.
