Published: October 15, 2026 at 1:19p.m. EDTThe Winnipeg Jets have updated defenceman Josh Morrissey’s status to week-to-week after he was previously labelled day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Jets head coach Scott Arniel said Thursday that Morrissey still will not require surgery on the injury. Morrissey was first hurt in last week’s 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche when he missed a bodycheck and went straight into the boards. He appeared to be holding his right hand as he left the ice. The 31-year-old has three assists in four games this season after recording 55 points in 77 games last season. The Jets are off to a 4-1-1 start to the season despite being without star netminder Connor Hellebuyck, who is suspended without pay for failure to report, and more recently Morrissey. Winnipeg will visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers due to a superficial blood clot in his calf, the team announced Thursday. Hurts was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice before the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a calf injury. He had no injury designation for Sunday's game in London. The Eagles released a statement detailing the process that led to the discovery of the blood clot. "On Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf," the team said. "He informed the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on October 4th. This was his first treatment session for the calf injury following the game, after having practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment, practiced in full, and was added to the practice report. "Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team's flight to London and walkthrough. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot.

Things are spiraling out of control for the Philadelphia Flyers, and when that happens, trade rumors start to spin up. The Flyers have yet to make any real impactful moves, instead opting to sign veteran free agent Michael Bunting and swapping depth forwards to call up Jack Studnicka for Carl Grundstrom. A trade could be in the cards, with Danny Briere reportedly receiving a lot of calls from general managers around the league, but that remains to be seen.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts won't play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers due to a superficial blood clot, the team announced Thursday. Hurts sought treatment for a calf injury last Thursday after being cleated in an Oct. 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams. He was diagnosed with a blood clot in his calf in London on Saturday after an ultrasound. The quarterback was cleared to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars and scheduled to undergo a follow-up ultrasound. Imaging performed Wednesday "revealed movement in the small blood clot. "The team is still determining the appropriate course of treatment and did not provide a return timeline. "It was a very unique experience, to say the least," Hurts told reporters Wednesday when asked about dealing with his calf injury in London, according to 94WIP. "I don't want to get into the details kind of leading up to the game and whatnot. But I got nicked up in the Rams game. "Tanner McKee is currently listed as the Eagles' backup quarterback. Fifth-round rookie Cole Payton is the other signal-caller on the roster after the team released Andy Dalton last week.

Buffalo Sabres @ Toronto Maple Leafs07:00 PM at Scotiabank ArenaWatch on: TSN4, MSG-BThe Leafs last game was away on October 13 against the Utah Mammoth, which Toronto lost by a score of 5-4 in regulation. The Leafs have a record of 3-3-1 for a 0.500 Points %. The Buffalo Sabres last played away on October 13 against the Montréal Canadiens. The Sabres lost by a score of 4-3 in a shootout, and their current league record is 3-3-1 for a 0.500 Points %. ThemI was a little surprised to see standings talk the other day because I think it's a titch early to be talking about winning or losing ground vs division opponents. But maybe the Sabres, with an identical record to the Leafs, might be wondering what happened to last year's win%. Shooting percentage isn't a repeatable skill, that's what. Oh, and they don't have the top team Save % in the league; they are near the bottom. That other thing you can't count on repeating hasn't been so far. At five-on-five, the team has been a little bit more than their very average selves of last year, so that's one bright spot for them.

The Los Angeles Kings are among the teams that have reached out to the Winnipeg Jets about goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, reports Sportsnet's Frank Seravalli. The Kings were reportedly told that Hellebuyck would accept a trade to Los Angeles. L. A. is 0-3-2 in part because of poor goaltending. Darcy Kuemper owns an .847 save percentage in four games, while Anton Forsberg has posted an .853 save percentage in two appearances. Kuemper and Forsberg are both pending unrestricted free agents. Hellebuyck went public with his trade request in August and was suspended by the Jets in September for failing to report to training camp. He remains absent from the team. The 33-year-old is signed through 2030-31 and his contract carries an $8.5-million average annual value. His deal features a full no-movement clause this season before becoming a 10-team trade list on July 1, 2027. Hellebuyck won the Hart Trophy and his third career Vezina Trophy in 2024-25 when he posted a 47-12-3 record, a .925 save percentage, a 2.00 goals-against average, and eight shutouts while leading Winnipeg to the Presidents' Trophy.

With UFC Fight Night scheduled for Saturday night at Rogers Place, the series will start in Edmonton on Thursday before sending the Oilers out for a one-game road trip to Utah for the rematch. Even without UFC, the trip’s logistics don’t make much sense. The Mammoth played at home to Toronto earlier this week, and the Oilers flew past Utah on the way home from Los Angeles. Nonetheless, the Oilers will probably get a couple of nights of sleep in their own beds after the first extended road trip of the season. The Oilers went 2-0-1 and outscored Utah 16-11 across their three regular season meetings last season. The Mammoth are off to a hot start this season, leading a stacked Central Division at the time of writing. Fans can look forward to some high-quality, exciting hockey to end their week and start their weekend. Who comes out of the lineup if Zach Hyman returns? Oilers fans got some promising news earlier this week, with Zach Hyman’s return seeming imminent. He wasn’t ready after morning skate in LA, but Oilers coach Mike Babcock said he’s day-to-day, which has fans hoping to see Hyman in the two games vs. Utah.

If this start to the Edmonton Oilers season were a Tom Cruise movie, it would be Top Gun. Sitting first in the NHL in points percentage and winning five in a row, the Oilers’ top guns have had the need — the need for speed. It’s fresh and doesn’t feel like a sequel, as a familiar cast has avoided their October Groundhog Day, the movie Oilers fans have watched this team play like déjà vu. One has to think the extended off-season break has helped the leaders in Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Evan Bouchard, and Mattias Ekholm begin so strongly, but their combined attention to detail defensively is noticeable to the naked eye. The known quantities pulling off the performances of a lifetime. Box office draws delivering. But the overall style in which Edmonton is winning these games, except for Vancouver, which I’m willing to chalk up as pre-season extended hockey, is decidedly uncinematic. Yes, the Oilers’ top line is dominating, but it’s not always pretty when they’re off the ice. The cast listed in minuscule font on the poster are trading standout performances and are giving Oilers fans some legitimate optimism.

Yesterday’s Champions League fixture against Real Madrid was a case study in the extremes of being a Roma fan. What started as a heartwarming reunion between José Mourinho and the Giallorossi faithful ended in absolute heartbreak for Roma supporters, who watched in horror as the club squandered a two-goal lead with seven minutes remaining, winding up on the wrong side of the scorer’s ledger. However, between the raucous applause for the Special One and the almost deafening silence that followed Antonio Rüdiger’s 90th-minute match-winner at the Olimpico, Roma fans the world over experienced a panoply of emotions. From the agony of Mario Hermoso’s near miss early in the match to Marten de Roon’s cracking 20th-minute goal, which was canceled out by an equally beautiful, albeit deflected, strike from Kylian Mbappe five minutes later, the first half alone was enough to give us collective agita. Still, despite those emotional swings, heading into the break level with Los Galacticos was a feather in Roma’s cap.
