Just one game into the season, the Carolina Hurricanes have a comeback, a late goal yielded and success in a shootout all as part of their early experiences. Now that the opening-night festivities and, perhaps, jitters are out of the way, they will hope to avoid the second-game fate endured by the Columbus Blue Jackets. […]

Which other running backs should we keep an eye on for Days 1 and 2 of the draft?
Kiper: He’s going to have an elite grade from me, right up there with Ezekiel Elliott and Todd Gurley (and Trent Richardson, who was a bust twice over). Barkley can do it all. I think he’ll run under a 4.4 40-yard dash. He’s also a great team guy from everything I’ve heard. He plays hard, […]
Habs seek offense in home opener vs. Blackhawks
Two teams going in opposite directions when it comes to offense meet Tuesday as the Montreal Canadiens host the Chicago Blackhawks in the home opener at the Bell Centre.

Allen, who had a career-best 33 wins last season, has won all three of his starts this season.
The Islanders have lost two of their first three though coach Doug Weight still saw reasons for optimism despite the loss to the Blues. “They play a face-paced game and Allen played really well,” he said. “We had some good looks. I gave Jake credit and we’ll take the point.” Following the game, the Islanders […]
Hitchcock, who is two games into his second stint coaching the Stars, isn’t worried.

Safety Brandon Snyder added an 89-yard interception return for a score in his first game back from a knee injury for the Hawkeyes (4-2, 1-2 Big Ten), who outscored Illinois (2-3, 0-2) 35-3 […]
Ben Roethlisberger says Browns are ‘going to surprise a lot of people’
When the Steelers are at their best on offense they are incredibly tough to stop. They were at full strength in their season opener against the Browns, but Cleveland held Pittsburgh to two touchdowns and nearly pulled off the upset in a 21-18 loss. As the two of them laid out on the field together, […]

Ben McAdoo could give up play calling as part of ‘drastic’ changes
After sputtering through the first two weeks of the season, Giants coach Ben McAdoo said Tuesday he is looking to make some “drastic” changes to the team’s offense. The Giants have scored just 13 points with only 97 rushing yards in two games. McAdoo called out quarterback Eli Manning for “sloppy quarterback play” following Monday’s […]
