Nhl releases the 2025-26 schedule, the last 82-game season before new cba increases it to 84
Alex Ovechkin begins his 21st season on Oct. 8 when he and the Washington Capitals host Boston. Ovechkin is at 897 career goals after breaking Wayne Gretzky's record and can add to his total at age 40. It's even plausible Ovechkin gets No. 900 in the same arena on Long Island in which he scored his 895th to pass Gretzky. The Capitals visit the New York Islanders in their second game on Oct. 11 before playing the Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 12.
After raising their second consecutive Stanley Cup banner on opening night Oct. 7 against Chicago, the back-to-back defending champion Florida Panthers continue their threepeat bid two days later when they host Philadelphia. Utah plays its first game as the Mammoth on Oct. 9 at Colorado. They were known as the Utah Hockey Club during the first year in Salt Lake City after relocating from Arizona.
For the first time in more than a decade, the league is pausing in the winter to send players to the Olympics. The Milan break runs from Feb. 6-24, with play resuming Feb. 25. The NHL's last participation in the Games was 2014 in Sochi, though the new CBA provides for players to also go in 2030 pending another deal with the International Olympic Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation.

Police: Home Of Diamondbacks Star Ketel Marte Burglarized During All-star Break
A home belonging to Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte was burglarized during the Major League Baseball All-Star break, according to police. Scottsdale, Arizona, police confirmed that the department is investigating a high-dollar residential burglary that is believed to have happened on Tuesday night, which is when Marte was playing for the National League in its All-Star game win in Atlanta. Numerous personal items and jewelry were stolen. No one was at home when the burglary occurred. Police said the home is reportedly owned by Marte. Maricopa County Assessor's Office records show Marte owns a home on the block near the investigation. Police say the investigation is ongoing. Marte hit a two-run double in the first inning of the NL's win, which was secured after a home run contest at the end of the game after the score was tied after nine innings. The burglary is the latest in a series of thefts from the homes of high-profile athletes across the country this year. Players have been targeted because of the high-end products believed to be in their homes, and sometimes the thefts occur when they are away with their teams for road games. The FBI has warned sports leagues about crime organizations targeting professional athletes. The NFL and NBA have issued security alerts to athletes. A Seattle man was charged last month in connection with a string of burglaries at the homes of prominent active and retired professional athletes in the area.

Sabbi Scores in 4th Minute, White Adds 1 Goal, 1 Assist as Whitecaps Beat Dynamo 3-0
Emmanuel Sabbi scored a goal in the fourth minute, Sebastian Berhalter added a goal, and the Vancouver Whitecaps beat the Houston Dynamo 3–0 on Wednesday night. Yohei Takaoka had two saves and his MLS-high 10th shutout this season for Vancouver. Mathias Laborda's header from the center of the area off a ball-in played by Édier Ocampo was parried by diving goalkeeper Jonathan Bond, but Sabbi blasted a half-volley into the net to open the scoring. Brian White on the right side of the area played a pass back to a charging Sebastian Berhalter for a first-touch finish from just outside the penalty box in the 42nd. White had a penalty kick blocked by Bond but tapped in his own rebound to cap the scoring in the 56th. The Whitecaps (12-5-5) had lost back-to-back games–by a combined score of 6–0–and four of their last five. Houston (7-11-5) had 56 percent possession, though the Dynamo were outshot 14-13, 7-2 on target.
