He faces a slightly struggling Kraken squad who are just 14-15-4 at home, giving him a strong chance at notching a win with solid ancillary numbers..
Karel Vejmelka, UTAH vs. ANA (39% rostered)Vejmelka has taken over as Utah's top netminder and is in line for additional playing time with Connor Ingram out indefinitely. He has started seven games in a row for the Hockey Club, going 4-1-2 with a 2.11 goals-against average (GAA) and a .914 save percentage over that stretch. Vejmelka is one win away from tying his career-high of 18, set in 2022-23, while his GAA and save percentage would be new highs.

CFP Committee Placing More Emphasis on Teams' Strength of Schedule This Year
College Football CFP Committee Placing More Emphasis on Teams' Strength of Schedule This Year Published Aug. 20, 2025 2:54 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link The College Football Playoff selection committee announced Wednesday it will place more emphasis on strength of schedule this year when determining which teams make the 12-team field. The committee said in a statement that the schedule strength metric has been adjusted to apply greater weight to games against strong opponents. An additional metric, record strength, has been added to go beyond a team's schedule strength to assess how a team performed against that schedule. "This metric rewards teams defeating high-quality opponents while minimizing the penalty for losing to such a team," the committee said. "Conversely, these changes will provide minimal reward for defeating a lower-quality opponent while imposing a greater penalty for losing to such a team." The adjustment to the evaluation process comes after some in the SEC complained about last season's inclusion of — at the time of selections — an 11-2 SMU of the ACC over a 9-3 Alabama or even a 9-3 South Carolina or 9-3 Ole Miss. ADVERTISEMENT SMU's losses were to an unranked BYU and a ranked Clemson in the ACC Championship Game. Alabama had bad losses against Vanderbilt and Oklahoma, both .500 at the time, but also had wins over second-ranked Georgia, No. 21 Missouri and No. 14 LSU. Prompted by concerns about how teams that don't play in conference championship games are judged, the committee reviewed the movement of idle teams from the second-to-last ranking to the final ranking. The selection committee reaffirmed that movement in the final week should be evidence-based and did not recommend creating a formal policy prohibiting such movement. The committee also updated its policy on recusal of selection committee members. A member will be fully recused from the evaluation of a team if he or she receives direct compensation from the school in question or has an immediate family member who is a football player, football staff member or senior administrator at the school. A fully recused member is not allowed to participate in any deliberations or vote concerning that school. A member will be partially recused if he or she has a secondary relationship with the school in question, such as an immediate family member employed by the institution but outside the football program or senior administration. A partially recused member may remain present and participate in discussions related to the team in question but is not allowed to participate in votes involving the team. The selection committee will release its five weekly Top 25 rankings on Nov. 4. The final rankings and playoff field will be announced Dec. 7. Reporting by The Associated Press.

Colorado Avalanche sign winger Victor Olofsson to one-year contract
The Colorado Avalanche added some offensive punch to their lineup Wednesday by signing free-agent winger Victor Olofsson to a one-year contract. PuckPedia reports it is worth $1.575 million. Olofsson, 30, spent last season with the Vegas Golden Knights and contributed 15 goals and 29 points in 56 games while playing on a one-year deal worth $1.075 million. He played in nine of the Golden Knights' 11 playoff games and scored twice while assisting on two goals. Advertisement While not known for a strong all-around game, Olofsson is a goal scorer, as evident by a career total of 105 in 370 NHL games. A seventh-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres in 2014, Olofsson spent his first six years there and had three 20-goal seasons topped by a career-high 28 in 2022-23. In Olofsson the Avalanche add a solid depth winger with a good shot who can contribute on the power play. Last season in Vegas, Olofsson played mostly on the left wing, and showed he has the hockey sense to play with strong offensive players. He also contributed six goals on the power play despite only playing in a limited role. Olofsson served as a fill-in for Golden Knights leading scorer Pavel Dorofeyev on the right side of the top power play unit, and showed good finishing ability from there. He could surprise offensively in Colorado depending on who he ends up playing with. Olofsson could slot in on the Avs' third line and get some time on their power play. While he may not be a first-unit option, Olofsson has long possessed an excellent one-time shot and has 41 of his 105 goals on the man advantage. Olofsson's signing helps fill holes Colorado had by losing Jonathan Drouin to free agency and trading Miles Wood, though the return of captain Gabriel Landeskog fills one of those. Landeskog made a stirring return to the Avs' lineup for the 2025 playoffs and scored in a 4-0 Game 4 win over Dallas after missing two full seasons and most of 2024-25 due to a serious knee injury. While Olofsson was a solid fit last season for the Golden Knights on a 50-win, 110-point Pacific Division champion team, they entered this offseason with a clear objective to upgrade on the wing. They did that in a big way by signing Mitch Marner to an eight-year, $96 million contract. Vegas also chose to bring back depth wingers Reilly Smith and Brandon Saad on cheap, one-year deals, so Olofsson was the odd man out. Spot the pattern.
