Philadelphia Flyers @ Edmonton Oilers 11/11/26 · 9:00 PM ET. Edmonton has won two straight and sits on 29 points through 19 games, 13 wins against 3 losses. Philadelphia has 15 points through 20 games, with a W1 streak after 10 losses. Edmonton's plus-22 goal differential sits against Philadelphia's minus-21. Availability cuts both ways. The Oilers have five on injured reserve, including goalie Frederik Andersen, so Devon Levi gets the net: 2.80 GAA, .894 save pct, 4 wins in his last 5 starts. Philadelphia is missing defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Grebenkin. Joseph Woll brings a 3.00 GAA and .887, with 2 wins in his last 5. Edmonton scores 4.1 a game and allows 2.9. Philadelphia scores 2.3 and allows 3.3. Both teams are on two days' rest. Trevor Zegras carries the Flyers' offense. Connor McDavid carries Edmonton's. Which way are you leaning? What is the model missing? The actual prediction is in the app.

I heard Tim Kurkjian, who’s normally realistic and optimistic, speak at an event last week. Tim said he’s deeply disturbed by what he’s hearing in the industry and believes the entire season could be lost.

Dave Winfield scored 1,669 runs and Johnny Damon 1,668, one run apart in eighth and ninth since 1970, on a list Rickey Henderson leads with 2,295. Damon is pictured in a Royals cap. Albert Pujols is only nine behind Derek Jeter, the closest gap in the top five.

Things were already unraveling in Chicago, but since losing Patrick Kane (UBI) last week, this team has really collapsed. #FantasyHockey #Blackhawks

Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial and Barry Bonds make the S tier of the greatest National Leaguers, which leaves Schmidt, Wagner and Hornsby in A. Pete Rose finished with 4,256 hits and sits in D next to Johnny Bench of the Reds, a tier below Clayton Kershaw.

Number 24 belongs to Willie Mays first, with 660 homers, 12 Gold Gloves and two MVPs, and Rickey Henderson is second. Early Wynn is the only pitcher, Tony Pérez closes it out for the Reds, and Barry Bonds is fifth after two NL MVPs in Pittsburgh.

Stan Musial hit .351 with a 1.034 OPS and a .422 on base percentage for the Cardinals in 1957, and the NL MVP went to Hank Aaron, who hit 44 home runs with 132 RBI for the Braves. Milwaukee won the pennant that year. Who gets your vote?
