Norris Out Long-Term After Being Injured In Opener

One of the things that the Buffalo Sabres needed to make a legitimate run at the Stanley Cup Playoffs was a healthy Josh Norris playing on the top line as a #1 center, setting up sniper Tage Thompson.That hope lasted just one game, as Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff announced on Saturday that Norris will be out a “significant period of time” after being injured in the club’s  4-0 loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday.    

Norris left the game late in the third period after taking a faceoff. He fell to the ice, struggled to get back to the bench and did not return to the game. After practice on Friday before the club departed for Boston, Ruff said that Norris was upset about the injury after putting in a lot of work during the summer to get ready for the first full season with Buffalo. After the club’s morning skate at TD Garden on Saturday, the Sabres head coach provided an update.

Six Former Sabres Who Signed Elsewhere

“(Norris is) going to miss a significant amount of time, I don’t know what that amount is for sure. He is still being evaluated,” Ruff said. “It’s an upper-body (injury), it’s not related to anything he has had in the past.”

 The 26-year-old center was acquired by the Sabres in a deal that sent Dylan Cozens last March. Injuries have been a constant presence for Norris in his six-year NHL career. The former San Jose first rounder played the full 56-game COVID-shortened season in 2020-21, but since has missed 148 games with an assortment of injuries, including a serious shoulder injury. After the trade, Norris played just three games for Buffalo and was out the rest of  the season.. 

Ruff indicated that Jiri Kulich will take Norris’s place on the top line with Tage Thompson. The Sabres have recalled center Josh Dunne from AHL Rochester to fill Norris’s roster spot. Jason Zucker will play alongside Kulich and Thompson, since Zach Benson is not making the trip to Boston after having to be admitted to hospital after a puck hit his left cheek in practice on Wednesday.

Former Wild Forward Taking Advantage Of Opportunity In Pittsburgh

The Minnesota Wild made a big mov eon trade deadline day last season. They traded Marat Khustnutdinov, Jakub Lauko and a 2026 sixth round pick to the Boston Bruins for Justin Brazeau who had ten goal sand ten assists in 57 games with the Bruins.

Brazeau, 27, played in 19 games for the Wild following the trade and had just one goal and one assist. He finished the season with just one goal in 36 games.

The 6-foot-5 forward was acquired to add some bottom-six scoring considering he had ten goals in 57 games at the time. He was also used on the second power play unit in Boston so that was a possibility.

But in 19 regular season games with the Wild and six in the playoffs, Brazeau scored one goal. He was left unsigned and went to free agency. He ended up signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins as former Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Kyle Dubas, now the Penguins General Manager, signed him.

He was playing in the preseason on the second line with Evgeni Malkin as the center. That line was very good in the preseason and on opening night Brazeau scored two goals. He followed that up with a goal in his second game. The Penguins are 2-0-0 and Brazeau is taking advantage of his top-six minutes.

2 Days Until Opening Night At NWA: The History Of Jersey #2

The Columbus Blue Jackets have 2 days until opening night at Nationwide Arena. 

Let's take a look at who wore 2, and where they are now

Anders Eriksson - 2004-2007 - Drafted by Detroit in 1993. 

Eriksson played 145 games for Columbus and had 50 points after signing with Columbus in 2006. 

He retired in 2011 after returning home to play in Sweden. 

Kris Russell - 2008 - Drafted by Columbus in 2005.

Russell played 288 games in Columbus and had 79 points. He was traded to the St. Louis Blues on November 11, 2011, in exchange for Nikita Nikitin. 

He went on to play 912 NHL games and total 254 points. After playing 6 seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, Russell retired in 2022. 

Nate Guenin - 2011 - Drafted by the New York Rangers in 2002. 

Guenin played 3 games for the Jackets and had zero points. After his time in Columbus, he went on to play for Anaheim and Colorado. 

The former Ohio State Captain returned to the school and was an asst. coach for a season. 

"Guenin is a defensive defenseman with a good reach. Enjoys playing a physical game and has the size to wreck opponents. Owns alright skating ability and a decent outlet pass." - Elite Prospects

Radek Martínek - 2012 - Drafted by the New York Islanders in 1999. 

Martínek played 7 games for Columbus and had one goal. Martínek suffered a season-ending concussion against the Detroit Red Wings on October 21, 2011, and also lost teeth and broke his leg. He returned to the NHL in 2013 and played 26 more games before retiring. 

"Martínek is a defenseman who plays a well-rounded game. Owns solid passing ability and a good slapper. However, he is very prone to injury." - Elite Prospects

Andrew Bodnarchuk - 2016 - Drafted by Boston in 2006. 

Bodnarchuk played 16 games as a Blue Jacket and totaled two points.

He left for Europe in 2018 and still plays there today. Bodnarchuk plays in Germany's second-tier league, DEL2, for EC Kassel Huskies.

"Bodnarchuk is known as a defenseman with a solid all-around game. Moves the puck well and has a hard shot. A hard worker and quality teammate, he plays bigger than his size would indicate. Also has fine skating ability and agility." - Elite Prospects

Andrew Peeke - 2020-2024 - Drafted by Columbus in 2016. 

Peeke played 218 games and totaled 42 points for Columbus before being traded to the Boston Bruins on March 8, 2024. Many CBJ fans were upset by this trade, seeing that former GM Jarmo Kekäläinen just signed him in September of 2022 to a three-year extension. He was traded during the first year of his new deal, and no one liked that. 

Peeke played 76 games for the Bruins last season and provided some stability to a team that was otherwise having a terrible season. 

Elite Prospects said of Peeke, "Big, mobile defenseman with great vision and hockey sense. Possesses a hard, accurate shot, but needs to use it more. Smooth skater but has room for improvement in his acceleration with the puck. Reads plays well in his own end and has a well-rounded understanding of the defensive game. Starting to play a gritty game, but that will take time to develop. Physical game is definitely ripening."

Jake Christiansen - 2025 - Undrafted out of West Vancouver, British Columbia.

Christiansen played in a career-high 68 games for Columbus last season and totaled 8 points. He has played 112 games over four years. Before last season, Christiansen spent most of his time playing for the Cleveland Monsters. He's currently the Monsters franchise leader for points by a defenseman.

Christiansen will most likely be the 6th/7th defenseman during the 25-26 season and is signed through 2027. So, he will be looking to have a couple of good years and earn a nice, big contract. 

Jake Christiansen is a left-handed defenseman known for his offensive capabilities, particularly his puck-moving skills and shot, but also for needing to improve his defensive play. He's earned a spot in the Columbus Blue Jackets' top six due to his hard work—Christiansen's journey to the NHL involved going undrafted and spending over 200 games in the AHL. Christiansen is the Cleveland Monsters' all-time leading points producer by a defenseman.

There are 2 days until the Columbus Blue Jackets take the ice against the New Jersey Devils in the home opener. Game one against Nashville went just about as every game does when playing at Bridgestone Arena - a loss. 

Now they take on the Minnesota Wild tonight at Grand Casino Arena, and will look to stop Kirill Kaprizov and the Wild, who shut out the Blues in their first game of the season.

Knicks, Raptors mutually agree to dismiss 2023 lawsuit

The New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors have mutually and voluntarily decided to dismiss a lawsuit filed in 2023, which most people around the league thought should never have been filed, a story broken by Baxter Holmes for ESPN. A spokesperson for the teams gave ESPN this statement:

"The Knicks and [Raptors owner] Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment withdrew their respective claims and the matter is resolved. The Parties are focused on the future."

The lawsuit was over something seen as commonplace in NBA circles (sources who had been in similar jobs told NBC Sports at the time that this was no big deal and the suit seemed "very James Dolan"). New York was seeking $10 million in damages from Toronto for the alleged "theft of trade secrets" when the Raptors hired away New York's director of video/analytics/and a player development assistant coach, Ikechukwu Azotam. In the suit, the Knicks alleged that the Raptors organization — at the behest of rookie head coach Darko Rajakovic — took more than 3,000 confidential, proprietary files, including video scouting files and play frequency numbers. Part of the Knicks' argument was that Rajakovic didn't have the depth of background to build a team structure, so he stole that from New York. That despite the fact that Rajakovic had been a legendary head coach in Serbia, was head coach of the Tulsa 66ers of the G-League, and was an assistant known for player development with the Thunder, Suns and Grizzlies.

Toronto's first counterargument was that this had to be decided by the NBA league office and commissioner Adam Silver, not the courts. Toronto reached out to the NBA's general council and pointed out that the NBA's constitution (Article 24, bylaw "D") states: "The Commissioner shall have exclusive, full, complete, and final jurisdiction of any dispute involving two (2) or more Members of the Association." Dolan, who has had a long-running feud with Silver, did not feel the commissioner would be an unbiased arbiter of the situation.

In the end, both sides just decided to drop the issue and move on.

Mike Dunleavy lauds Brandin Podziemski's goal to become Warriors cornerstone

Mike Dunleavy lauds Brandin Podziemski's goal to become Warriors cornerstone originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Steph Curry has been the face of the Warriors for the better part of two decades, but who’s next in line to carry that burden once the two-time NBA MVP decides to hang it up?

Brandin Podziemski recently stated his desire to earn that prestigious role, displaying a level of ambition that is appreciated by general manager Mike Dunleavy.

Dunleavy wouldn’t make a hard commitment to handing the keys of the franchise over to Podziemski, opting to see how the cards unfold when the time comes, as he explained further during an interview on 95.7 The Game’s “Steiny & Guru” Friday.

“I think we like his ambition overall. That’s part of the reason that makes him good,” Dunleavy told Matt Steinmentz and Daryl Johnson. “He believes in himself, he goes out there and shows it every night. So, on the whole, I like to see that. As far as the future goes, it’s so hard to predict. I think from his standpoint or any of our young players’ standpoint, who knows how good these guys are going to be … we’ll see where the chips fall.

“We love having BP. He has been an integral part of our team the last couple years, as has some of the young guys we drafted in the first round, second round, picked up, undrafted, whatever it may be. We feel good about our young group. But who knows five years from now what any of this is going to look like. So, we just want to focus on this year, putting together the best team we can do and we’ll kind of cross the bridge of everything else as it goes.”

Podziemski voiced his lofty goal during an exclusive interview with The Athletic’s Nick Friedell, detailing how warning that trust goes beyond just his skill on the court.

“When they leave this thing, they got to leave it with somebody,” Podziemski told Friedell. “How can I have their trust? And they can go to [owner] Joe [Lacob] and [general manager] Mike [Dunleavy] and be like, “Hey, we want to leave it with him. He’s going to continue what we’re leaving.

“So, I think about that all time, and I set myself up in that position to have that. And there’s a lot of other things than just skill that you need to be in that position.”

Podziemski is entering his third NBA season after being selected No. 19 overall in the 2023 draft, earning All-Rookie honors after a standout campaign in his first year as a professional.

The 22-year-old guard followed that up with another solid performance in his sophomore season, posting 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in 64 appearances.

While Podziemski certainly has displayed the desired traits you’d seek in a leader, his long-term role will be sorted out when the time comes. For now, his, and every member of Golden State’s focus remains putting the Warriors in the best position possible to pursue a championship this season.

Why Easton Cowan Will Not Play For Maple Leafs Against Red Wings, Lineups And Where To Watch

DETROIT — Easton Cowan’s NHL debut will have to wait a little bit longer.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will stick with the same lineup they used in their season opener as they visit the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesar's Arena. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube confirmed there would be no changes, explaining that the recent win was a factor in his decision.

“Yeah, I think the win, and I just didn't feel there was any need to make a change tonight in the lineup,” Berube said.

Cowan, along with Sammy Blais and defenseman Philippe Myers, were on the ice late doing extra work.

Toronto’s first-round draft pick (28th overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft. Cowan has been part of the club’s 23-man roster since the second day of the NHL season, but there doesn't appear to be a set timeline for when the forward prospect will make his NHL debut.

'We'll See What Happens': Could Easton Cowan Make His NHL Debut Against Red Wings?'We'll See What Happens': Could Easton Cowan Make His NHL Debut Against Red Wings?Easton Cowan is staying patient for his NHL debut.

Cowan is eligible to be sent up and down at will to the Toronto Marlies, who played their season-opening game against the Rochester Americans on Friday. Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving indicated earlier in the week that he “wants him playing” if he's going to be with the team.

“He's close. He's got a great attitude, he works hard, he had a good practice today,” Berube said of Cowan before the team arrived in Detroit.

Why Easton Cowan Won't Be In The Maple Leafs' Home-Opening Lineup Vs. CanadiensWhy Easton Cowan Won't Be In The Maple Leafs' Home-Opening Lineup Vs. CanadiensDespite Easton Cowan being on the ice for the Toronto Maple Leafs' optional morning skate on Wednesday morning, he will not be in the lineup for the home opener against the Montreal Canadiens.

The Leafs will visit a Red Wings team that fell 5-1 to the Montreal Canadiens in their season opener. Detroit activated former Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk to their roster, but he will not be in the lineup. Cam Talbot will start in goal for the Red Wings after John Gibson opened the season in goal.

Leafs projected lineup

The Leafs will go with the same forward and defense group from the previous game

In addition to Detroit changing up their goaltender, Jacob Bernard-Docker will replace Travis Hamonic and Jacob Ner

Mike Dunleavy acknowledges uncertainty of Steve Kerr's Warriors coaching future

Mike Dunleavy acknowledges uncertainty of Steve Kerr's Warriors coaching future originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The Warriors are focused on the present, but general manager Mike Dunleavy can’t ignore the uncertainty looming with Steve Kerr’s future as coach.

Dunleavy joined 95.7 The Game’s “Steiny & Guru” on Friday and discussed where things stand with Kerr as he enters the final year of a two-year contract he signed in February 2024.

“Yeah, I mean, I guess technically there is [uncertainty],” Dunleavy said. “This isn’t really a regular situation with a head coach where he’s in the last year of his deal. We know what it is with Steve. He’s been here a long time. He’s been an amazing part of this franchise, and as far as I’m concerned, can stay as long as he wants.

“We’re going to give him the grace of the season to go through it, or at least some of it, to see and feel where he’s at mentally and physically.”

With two years left on Steph Curry’s contract, two left on Draymond Green’s with a player option in the final year and Jimmy Butler also signed through the 2026-27 NBA season, it only feels right that Kerr would end his Warriors tenure with the guys he started it with.

When asked about it last week, Kerr told reporters he didn’t want to address it at that point because he wants to see how he feels in six months, adding that he’s “very comfortable” just going into the season with one year left on his deal.

“I get how maybe it doesn’t line up,” Dunleavy said, “but it’s hard to see Steve moving on, or to see Steph finish his career without Steve on the sidelines. I think it’ll all work out, but we’re not going to jump into anything. We’re going to go on Steve’s terms.

“And right now, he just wants to take it and see how the season goes. And no problem on our end.”

Steve Kerr throws support behind Erik Spoelstra as Team USA coach, 'Spo is a perfect choice'

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra is expected to be named head coach of USA Basketball’s men’s team for the next cycle, including the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

He has the backing of the last guy to have the job, Warriors coach Steve Kerr.

"I mean, Spo is incredible. He's a phenomenal coach," Kerr said after a Warriors practice Friday. "And, just watching him the last two summers and getting to know him up close, rather than just from afar, where I've admired him for so long, I got a first-hand glimpse at what a great coach he is."

Spoelstra was one of the assistant coaches on Kerr's staff for the Paris Olympics, where Team USA won its fifth consecutive gold medal. That staff was also together for the World Cup in the Philippines the year before. Kerr said being an assistant coach for Team USA matters before moving over to the big chair.

"I think the assistant coaching is almost a prerequisite for coaching USA," Kerr said. "It's really a different job, and now he has that experience, just like I did with [Gregg Popovich], in the World Cup in '19 and the Olympics in '21.

"Spo is a perfect choice. He's gonna be great."

Spoelstra is the longest-tenured coach in the NBA, entering his 18th season, and has led the Heat to six NBA Finals appearances, winning two (2012 and 2013). In a sign of how respected he is around the league, a poll of NBA GMs voted him the "best coach in the NBA" as well as the best manager and motivator of players.

Spoelstra's contract with USA Basketball is not finalized and has to be approved by the organization's board of directors, but that is all expected to be wrapped up before the end of the month.

Game Day: Senators Face A Banged-Up But Still Excellent Florida Panther Team

As the Ottawa Senators finish the second part of their season-opening two-game visit to the Sunshine State, they'll need to show up on time. The Sens fell behind 2-0 and 3-1 in Tampa Bay on Thursday night, then battled back for a 5-4 victory. They won't get away with that very often, particularly against the NHL's top teams.

On Saturday night in Sunrise, Florida, they'll get the very best.

They'll face the Florida Panthers, who have their eye on a third straight NHL title this season and a sweep of their season-opening homestand. A pair of non-playoff teams from last year gave the Panthers all they could handle this week. Florida beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in their first game and then the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, 2-1.

Most of the early-season news and previews on the Panthers are quick to mention the injuries to superstar forwards Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk. After a collision in the Flyers' game, defenseman Dmitry Kulikov was also placed on IR on Friday, which means Uvis Balinskis will likely see his first action of the season on Saturday. But he's no rookie. The guy played 76 games last season.

That kind of depth is part of the reason the Panthers have won two Cups. Their so-called lower-end players have already stepped up in their first two wins, with names like Greer, Samoskevich, and Rodrigues leading the team in scoring.

According to THN Florida's David Dwork, here are the Panthers' projected lines and pairings for Saturday’s showdown with the Sens. While the loss of some key players hurts the group, it's still pretty impressive, and loaded to thrive in any style of game you'd like to play. 

Forwards:
Carter Verhaeghe – Sam Bennett – Brad Marchand
Eetu Luostarinen – Anton Lundell – Sam Reinhart
Mackie Samoskevich – Evan Rodrigues – Jesper Boqvist
A.J. Greer – Luke Kunin – Jonah Gadjovich

Defense:
Gus Forsling – Aaron Ekblad
Niko Mikkola – Seth Jones
Uvis Balinskis – Jeff Petry

Sergei Bobrovsky has started the first two games for the Panthers, so they could have opted to give the net to his new backup, Daniil Tarasov, the former Columbus Blue Jacket. But head coach Paul Maurice announced this morning that Bobrovsky will start for the third straight game.

Four Players Who Impressed In Their Debut With Their New Team

The 2025-26 season is underway, and each team has played at least once. The new faces of each team have made their debuts for the club, and some deserve to be highlighted as they stand out from the bunch.

Here are four players who had notable performances in their debut for their team.

Arturs Silovs, G, Pittsburgh Penguins

Arturs Silovs was acquired by the Pittsburgh Penguins from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Chase Stillman and a 2027 fourth-round pick. So far, after Silovs’ debut for the Penguins, it seems like GM Kyle Dubas won that trade.

Silovs could not have had a better start to his Pittsburgh career as he posted a shutout in the season opener against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Despite the 24-year-old goaltender playing less than 20 games heading into this season, he played a perfect game in his Penguins debut.

K’Andre Miller, D, Carolina Hurricanes

K’Andre Miller made his debut for the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday and really put his imprint on that game. In a 6-3 win over the New Jersey Devils, Miller scored two goals from the back end, including a power-play marker.

Miller joined the Hurricanes in the off-season when he was acquired for defenseman Scott Morrow, a 2026 second-round pick and a conditional 1st-round pick in 2026 or 2027. After one game with the Canes, Miller seems to be in a great spot to surpass his career-high nine goals in a season.

Miller Time: K'Andre Miller Dazzles In Carolina Hurricanes DebutMiller Time: K'Andre Miller Dazzles In Carolina Hurricanes DebutThe Carolina Hurricanes knew they had to make a bold move if they wanted to improve their blueline this past offseason after back-to-back years of top-four departures.

Justin Brazeau, RW, Pittsburgh Penguins

Justin Brazeau is another new member of the Penguins who has had a great start to the season. In his debut for Pittsburgh, he scored two goals in their 3-0 victory over the Rangers. 

Brazeau scored the game-winning goal and an empty-net goal in that contest. Furthermore, he scored another game-winning tally in the following game against the New York Islanders.

His three goals in two games come after a short stint with the Minnesota Wild. The undrafted right winger was acquired by the Wild ahead of the trade deadline, and he scored one goal in 19 appearances.

The Penguins' coaching staff and front office must be pleased with the early success that Brazeau has had.

Mitch Marner, RW, Vegas Golden Knights

Everyone knows how Mitch Marner ended up on the Vegas Golden Knights, but he’s made an immediate impact since arriving.

The Golden Knights took on the Los Angeles Kings in their regular-season and home opener. Marner finished the game with 22:48 of ice time, and of course, was on the score sheet.

Marner’s chemistry with Jack Eichel this season is evident, like it was in pre-season. The former Toronto Maple Leaf provided a primary assist for Eichel’s first goal of the season. Not long after that goal, Marner and Eichel combined to set up Ivan Barbashev to make it 5-3 for Vegas.
