NHL Morning Skate – Nov. 24, 2022

Hockey
NHL

November 24, 2022

* A busy 15-game night ahead of Thanksgiving in the U.S. was highlighted by an eight-goal outburst by the Kraken, who sailed into second place in the Pacific Division.

* The Sabres, Panthers and Maple Leafs all acted as streak stoppers Wednesday, halting the Devils’ 13-game run and handing both the Bruins and Blues their first loss in seven contests.

* Jason Robertson’s buzzworthy start to 2022-23 continued as he extended his point streak to 13 games, tied Connor McDavid and Bo Horvat for the NHL lead in goals and helped his club become the first team to earn a three-goal, third-period comeback win this season.

* There are no games scheduled for Thursday while the U.S. celebrates Thanksgiving. The NHL returns with a 14-game slate on Black Friday highlighted by a 2022 NHL Thanksgiving Showdown doubleheader on TNT, Sportsnet and TVA Sports that opens with the Penguins visiting the Flyers at 5:30 p.m. ET and concludes with the Lightning hosting the Blues at 8 p.m. ET.

SEATTLE CRACKS OPEN THE OFFENSE WITH EIGHT-GOAL OUTBURST
Matty Beniers (1-2—3) became the first rookie to record a three-point outing for Seattle en route to taking the League lead in rookie points as the Kraken (11-5-3, 25 points) scored a franchise-best eight goals while climbing past the idle Kings (11-9-2, 24 points) for second place in the Pacific Division.

* Seattle improved to 7-1-1 in November and established a franchise mark for the most wins in a calendar month. Meanwhile, the Kraken’s .833 point percentage in November trails only the Devils (.909) for the highest such total through the month.

THE STREAK STOPS AT THE MAPLE LEAFS, PANTHERS & SABRES
The Maple Leafs, Panthers and Sabres played the role of streak busters Wednesday as they took on the Devils, Bruins and Blues, respectively:

* Mitchell Marner (0-1—1) factored on one of his team’s two goals while Matt Murray made 34 saves as the Maple Leafs snapped the Devils’ 13-game win streak. Marner extended his point streak to a career-high 14 games dating to Oct. 27. Only five players in Maple Leafs history have posted a longer stretch: Eddie Olczyk (18 GP in 1989-90), Darryl Sittler (18 GP in 1977-78), Dave Andreychuk (16 GP in 1993-94), John Anderson (16 GP in 1983-84) and Babe Dye (16 GP in 1921-22).

* Aaron Ekblad (1-2—3)factored on three of Florida’s five goals, includingscoring the 100th of his career, to help the Panthers snap the Bruins’ seven-game win streak. Ekblad became the first defenseman and 12th skater to reach the 100-goal milestone with Florida – among active blue liners, only Erik Karlsson (477 GP) did so faster than Ekblad (563 GP).

* Jeff Skinner (2-0—2) put Buffalo up 1-0 just 18 seconds after the opening face-off and tallied again during the middle frame to help the Sabres snap the Blues’ seven-game winning streak, the longest in NHL history by a team immediately after they suffered losses in eight or more consecutive contests. Skinner, who had 2-3—5 against Montreal on Tuesday including an assist on Rasmus Dahlin’s goal at 0:35 of the first period, became the first Buffalo player with seven points over a two-day span since Pat LaFontaine from Jan. 30-31, 1996 (3-4—7 in 2 GP).

ROBERTSON EXTENDS POINT STREAK AS STARS RALLY TO STUN BLACKHAWKS
Jason Robertson (14-10—24 in 13 GP) opened the scoring to extend his career-high point streak to 13 games and recorded the last of Dallas’ five unanswered third-period goals as the Central Division-leading Stars (12-5-3, 27 points) overcame a 4-1 deficit to defeat the Blackhawks. Dallas won a game in regulation after overcoming a three-goal, third-period deficit for the second time in Stars/North Stars history, following Nov. 29, 1983 (6-4 W vs. PIT).

* Robertson matched the longest point streak in Stars team history (since 1993-94), a mark set by Dave Gagner from Nov. 21 to Dec. 19, 1993 (7-9—16 in 13 GP). Robertson (16-15—31 in 20 GP) reached 16 goals on the season and sits tied with Connor McDavid (16-19—35 in 20 GP) and Bo Horvat (16-6—22 in 20 GP) for the League lead.

IT’S THE CLIMB: OVECHKIN SCORES IN OVERTIME FOR GOAL NO. 790
Alex Ovechkin continued his climb up the NHL’s all-time goals list with his 790th all-time, 25th in overtime and first-ever against Flyers rookie Felix Sandstrom. Philadelphia became the 14th franchise the Capitals captain has recorded an overtime goal against (regular season & playoffs combined); only two players in NHL history have scored against more clubs: Brad Marchand (16) and Jaromir Jagr (15).

AROUND THE RINKS: THE NHL’S SECOND 15-GAME DAY IN LESS THAN A WEEK

* Filip Hronek had 1-1—2 and Ville Husso turned aside all 26 shots faced as the Red Wings improved to 3-0-0 in their last three games. Hronek (5-3—8 in 5 GP) became the first Detroit defenseman with five goals in a five-game span since Nicklas Lidstrom from Dec. 15-23, 2010 (5-1—6 in 5 GP).

* Evgeni Malkin was honored in a pre-game ceremony to celebrate his 1,000-game milestone and later scored the shootout-deciding goal to earn his 500th regular-season win alongside teammate Sidney Crosby. While they are the first set of Penguins teammates to combine for the feat, four other active teammates have won 500 together: Alex Ovechkin–Nicklas Backstrom (603), Jonathan Toews–Patrick Kane (529), Anze Kopitar–Drew Doughty (508) and Ovechkin-John Carlson (506).

* Ilya Sorokin made 49 saves for his 12th career shutout and Jean-Gabriel Pageau became the seventh Islanders player to score a shorthanded and power-play goal in a five-minute span as New York blanked Edmonton for the third time in the regular season in franchise history. Sorokin’s 49-save performance is the third most in a shutout by an Islanders goaltender behind Glenn Healy (51 on Jan. 16, 1990) and Jaroslav Halak (50 on Feb. 15, 2018).

* Artemi Panarin (192-400—592 in 529 GP) became the only active undrafted player to hit the 400-assist milestone and required the fifth-fewest games in NHL history to do so among undrafted skaters, behind Wayne Gretzky (290 GP), Peter Stastny (411 GP), Bobby Orr (437 GP) and Adam Oates (471 GP).

QUICK CLICKS

* Thursday’s edition of #NHLStats: Live Updates
* Hurricanes sign goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov to four-year deal

* Wild acquire Ryan Reaves in trade with Rangers

SERVING UP A THANKSGIVING SHOWDOWN
After a one-day hiatus, NHL action will resume Friday for the 2022 Thanksgiving Showdown when 28 teams will be in action, starting with a 1 p.m. ET matinee between the Hurricanes and Bruins when Boston will put its 11-game home winning streak on the line.

World Cup Preview: Brazil at Serbia

World Cup #1 Favorite Does Have Some Weaknesses
Brazil is the no.1 favorite to win the 2022 World Cup, which is no surprise as this team is undefeated since summer 2021. This team’s strongest weapon is its attack, which is packed with superstars – Neymar, Vinicius Junior, Anthony, Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and others.

With these players on the roster, Brazil looks capable of scoring (and perhaps, outscoring) every single team on the planet. The problem is that other parts of Brazil’s national team aren’t as strong as its offensive unit.

For instance, coach Tite decided to bring only six proper midfielders with him to Qatar. Excluding Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes (and Man United’s Casemiro to some extent), those guys haven’t been playing at an elite level since the start of the 2022-23 season.

It’s a similar story when it comes to Brazil’s full-backs – Danilo, Alex Sandro, Dani Alves, and Alex Telles. They simply aren’t great. Brazil’s center-backs, on the other hand, are really good, although they do have their own weaknesses.

For instance, Thiago Silva and Marquinhos – the two center-backs who are expected to start against Serbia – are both shorter than 6 feet. The reason why this is important is that Serbia’s team has the highest average height in the 2022 World Cup – 6’1.

Serbia Expected to Attack on Thursday
One would think that the best way to play against Brazil is to “park the bus” in front of the goal. However, we think Serbia will do just the opposite. Dragan Stojkovic’s team is expected to play an attacking-minded 3-4-3 formation. Why do we think that? Because they did it in each of their previous 10 matches.

What’s interesting is that rather than putting some defense-conscious players in the midfield four, Stojkovic tends to put a couple of attacking midfielders there.

If he goes with the same strategy on Thursday, we expect to see Lazio playmaker Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the midfield, along with Juventus’ winger Filip Kostic, and PAOK’s right forward Andrija Zivkovic there. The only defensive midfielder who’ll probably start for Serbia is Sevilla’s Nemanja Gudelj.

Over in the offense, we expect to see Serbia’s captain Dusan Tadic (Ajax), together with Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus and Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Brazil vs Serbia Prediction
We think it’s gonna be raining goals at Lusail Iconic Stadium on Thursday. Brazil vs Serbia will likely see three or more goals, with each team putting at least one or two in the net. That said, we do think Brazil will score more than Serbia in the end.

World Cup Preview: England vs USMNT

Agate Editor

November 23, 2022

England vs United States is the final game of the day and the only one that’s scheduled for the afternoon (Eastern Time) on Friday, November 25. We think the game is really worth a watch, even if you’re not a fan of either of these selections.

The reason why we think this is going to be a real barnburner is that England players started their World Cup campaign in top gear. They destroyed Iran 6-2 in Round 1 and are determined to do something similar in the second round. The USMNT, however, mustn’t let that happen.

After failing to beat Wales, Team US’s chance of making the playoffs has reduced. Winning point(s) against favored England, however, would put them in a great situation. So, can they pull it off?

England vs United States Odds

Is It Really Coming Home This Time?
After witnessing their boys demolish Iran 6-2, England fans started singing “football’s coming home.” But is it too early for celebrations? Even though the runners-up of the 2021 Euros aren’t seen as the no.1 favorites to win the trophy in Qatar, there are several things going in their favor.

First of all, Gareth Southgate’s tactics seem to work. That’s no brainer, knowing that the Three Lions have an exceptional roster in 2022. They got at least one elite player for every role on the field.

Another reason why we think they’re gonna go far is that the 2022 World Cup bracket goes in their favor. If they win Group B, they’re gonna play against the second-placed team from Group A, which is almost certainly going to be either Ecuador or Senegal.

They’re stronger than both of those teams. If they beat Ecuador/Senegal in the Round of 16, their most likely opponent in the quarterfinal is going to be France. Given the fact that the reigning world champions are missing a number of key players – Karim Benzema, N’golo Kante, Paul Pogba, etc. – England would stand a chance against them.

Then, in the semifinal, they’re likely to play against one of the following three teams – Belgium, Portugal, or Germany. At this point, we think that England are better than each of those.

That said, England have an open road to the final, albeit only if they win Group B. So far, they’re on the good road to achieving that. In fact, beating the USMNT on Friday would get them very close to securing the no.1 spot.

USMNT Needs a Good Result
Even if they lose to England on Friday, the USMNT would still have a chance to qualify for the knockout stage. It’s because Wales too are likely to lose to England. The Welsh, however, are expected to beat Iran.

The US plays Iran in the final round and we assume the Americans will win as well. That said, a very likely scenario is that at the end of the group phase, the USMNT and Wales will have the same number of points. So, which team will finish in the no.2 spot in Group B, thus getting the ticket to the knockouts?

The answer is: the team with the better score differential. What this means is that the USMNT need to do all in their power not to get blown out by England on November 25. Can they do it?

England vs USMNT Prediction
We really doubt the USMNT can keep England’s offense from scoring on Friday. In fact, we’re sure the Three Lions will put away at least a couple of goals. America’s chance of getting a good result lies in fighting back.

With players like Christian Pulisic and Timothy Weah, Team US does have the quality to score against England. Further, England’s Achille’s heel might be the defense, as evident from the fact that they conceded twice against Iran last Monday.

NFL Editor

November 23, 2022

HOME AWAY FROM HOME: The BUFFALO BILLS (7-3) visit Ford Field and the DETROIT LIONS (4-6), who have won three consecutive games, on Thanksgiving (12:30 PM ET, CBS). The Bills are playing their second-consecutive game in Detroit after their Week 11 contest against Cleveland, originally scheduled to be played at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, was moved to Ford Field due to a weather emergency in western New York last week.

Since 2000, there have been four instances of a team winning consecutive games in a stadium that was not its home stadium:

TEAM	SEASON	STADIUM	WEEKS
San Francisco	2020	MetLife Stadium	2-3
Buffalo	2019	MetLife Stadium	1-2
Chicago	2006	Giants Stadium	10-11
Dallas	2003	Giants Stadium	3, 5

PACE SETTERS: The KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (8-2) have won each of their past four games and enter their Week 12 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams (4:25 PM ET, FOX) with the league’s top scoring offense (30 points per game).

Quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES leads all quarterbacks in passing yards (3,265) and touchdown passes (28) this season. Currently in his sixth NFL season, he has recorded 37 career games with at least 300 passing yards, including at least 325 passing yards in each of his past five starts. On Sunday, Mahomes can tie RICH GANNON (six consecutive games in 2002) for the most consecutive games with at least 325 passing yards in NFL history.
With at least 300 passing yards against the Rams, Mahomes would surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer DAN MARINO (37 games) for the most such games by a player in his first seven seasons in NFL history.

The players with the most games with at least 300 passing yards in their first seven seasons in NFL history:

PLAYER	TEAM	GAMES

Tight end TRAVIS KELCE has 69 receptions for 855 yards with a league-high 11 touchdown catches this season. Currently in his 10th season, he has recorded 9,861 receiving yards and against the Rams, he can surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer TONY GONZALEZ (9,882) for the most receiving yards by a tight end in his first 11 career seasons in NFL history.

Against Houston on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS), Tagovailoa can become the third quarterback in NFL history to record a passer rating of 135-or-higher in four consecutive games, joining JOHN HADL (four consecutive games in 1973) and RUSSELL WILSON (four consecutive games in 2015).

CHIEFS TE TRAVIS KELCE, BILLS LB MATT MILANO & PATRIOTS DB MARCUS JONES NAMED AFC PLAYERS OF WEEK 11

Tight end TRAVIS KELCE of the Kansas City Chiefs, linebacker MATT MILANO of the Buffalo Bills and defensive back MARCUS JONES of the New England Patriots are the AFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played in Week 11 (November 17, 20-21).

OFFENSE: TE TRAVIS KELCE, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Kelce recorded six receptions for 115 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning 17-yard touchdown reception with 31 seconds remaining in the Chiefs’ Week 11 victory. He is the third tight end in the Super Bowl era with two games of three-or-more touchdown receptions in a single season, joining Todd Christensen (1983) and Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow Sr. (1982).
Kelce has 33 career games with at least 100 receiving yards and surpassed Rob Gronkowski (32 games) for the most such games by a tight end in NFL history.
This is the second-career Offensive Player of the Week award for Kelce (Week 15, 2021) and first this season.
He is the fifth tight end to win the award multiple times, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe (three), Alge Crumpler (two), Jimmy Graham (two) and Rob Gronkowski (two).

DEFENSE: LB MATT MILANO, BUFFALO BILLS

Milano recorded 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack and one fumble recovery in Buffalo’s 31-23 victory over Cleveland in Detroit. He is the first player with at least 10 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack and a fumble recovery in a single game since Ryan Shazier (Week 2, 2015).
This is the second-career Defensive Player of the Week award for Milano (Week 3, 2018) and first this season.
Milano is the fourth former Boston College player to win Defensive Player of the Week multiple times, joining Luke Kuechly (five times), Mathias Kiwanuka (twice) and Mike Mamula (twice).

SPECIAL TEAMS: DB MARCUS JONES, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Jones recorded an 84-yard punt-return touchdown with five seconds remaining in the Patriots’ 10-3 win over the New York Jets. It marked the first punt-return touchdown in the NFL this season.
Jones became the sixth player to record a game-winning punt-return touchdown in the final two minutes of regulation or in overtime since 1970 and it was second-latest game-winning punt-return touchdown in regulation since 1970, trailing only DeSean Jackson (no time remaining on December 19, 2010).
This is Jones’ first-career Special Teams Player of the Week award and he becomes the fourth Patriots rookie to earn the honor since 2000, joining Jake Bailey (Weeks 3 and 11, 2019), Bethel Johnson (Week 13, 2003) and Laurence Maroney (Week 7, 2006).
Jones is the first player from Houston to win Special Teams Player of the Week.

Red Sox agree to One-Year contract with Left-handed pitcher Joely Rodriguez

BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today signed left-handed pitcher Joely Rodríguez to a one-year contract for the 2023 season, with a club option for 2024.

The Red Sox’ 40-man roster is now at 39.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Rodríguez, 31, pitched for the New York Mets this past season, recording career highs in appearances (55) and innings (50.1) while posting a 4.47 ERA (25 ER/50.1 IP) with a .226 opponent batting average, 1.35 WHIP, 57 strikeouts, and 26 walks. The left-hander ranked in Major League Baseball’s 94th percentile in chase rate (34.7%) and 96th percentile in average exit velocity (85.3 MPH), both the best marks of his career. He held both left-handed hitters (.646) and right-handed hitters (.625) to an OPS below .650 and allowed only three home runs on the year.
