Colorado returns home on Saturday looking to extend its unbeaten start against a Bruins team trying to reset after two straight losses. The Avalanche have earned points in all five games and are getting contributions beyond the top line after a strong showing from their second unit in Columbus. Boston started 3-0 but has slipped defensively, allowing 11 goals across its last two outings. This is a one-game stop at Ball Arena before Colorado heads back on the road, and the matchup doubles as the first half of a home-and-home that finishes next week in Boston. The Avalanche have not beaten the Bruins in regulation since early 2024 and have dropped three straight in the series. Mackenzie Blackwood has been

The Wild continue their five-game road trip on Saturday trying to tighten up defensively after giving up 20 goals across their last four games. Minnesota opened the season with a shutout, but puck possession and defensive support have collapsed since.

The Sharks have shown flashes in stretches but cannot put together a full game. They are coming off a 6-3 loss in Utah where slow starts and turnovers buried them early. Macklin Celebrini and Jeff Skinner continue to provide offense, but the structure

The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win away from returning to the World Series, and they’ll hand the ball to Shohei Ohtani in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. Ohtani will try to pitch the Dodgers to a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles leads the best-of-seven series 3-0 after a 3-1 victory in Game 3. Tyler Glasnow struck out eight over 5 ⅔ innings, following Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s complete-game gem in Game 2 and Blake Snell’s dominant eight-inning performance in Game 1. The Dodgers have allowed only three total runs in the series, relying more on elite pitching than offensive fireworks. Ohtani will pitch on 12 days of rest. His lone
