The Canucks looked Saturday like the formidable team they’ve become this season and beat the Oilers 3-1 to put a chokehold on what would be Vancouver’s first division title since 2013.

The Canadiens should want much more, the Senators should be desperate for much more, and fans on both sides should demand it to see this rivalry heat up to scorching levels over the coming years.

Yariel Rodriguez's impressive performance in his MLB debut gave the Blue Jays several reasons to exhale. The Cuban certainly did his part, helping stabilize the pitching staff.

Don’t tell Nazem Kadri these are meaningless hockey games. There’s too much work to be done in Calgary for him to look at games that way. Especially when Friday's game was. No. 900 of his career.

The Edmonton Oilers are still in control of first place in the Pacific — if only barely — heading into Saturday's game No. 79. Hey, sometimes the last horse out of the gates beats everyone else to the wire.

Perhaps expecting Kevin Gausman to jump into the regular season at full speed after just one Grapefruit League start was unrealistic. The Blue Jays ace had his second ineffective start in a row on Friday.

According to several sources, Arizona Coyotes players and staff were informed before Friday’s game in Edmonton that the team is headed to Utah, and there will be attempts to help those affected visit Salt Lake City.
