Marshall backed out of the game because so many players entered the transfer portal after coach Charles Huff's departure. Despite being decades removed from their last Super Bowl victory, the Dallas Cowboys remain the top dog when it comes to value, ratings and branding.

The metrics under the hood tell a curious story centered on one basic fact: Kakko and his linemates are on a shooting hot streak while Lafreniere and his linemates are in a shooting slump.

Amid a brutal stretch of play, the New York Rangers shook up their roster in December with a pair of major trades. The Rangers dealt their captain, defenseman Jacob Trouba, to the Anaheim Ducks on Dec. 6 for defenseman Urho Vaakanainen and a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
