Eklund, who is tied for second on the Sharks with 11 points, did not travel with the Sharks to Seattle on Tuesday afternoon as he continues to deal with a lower-body injury that also caused him to miss Sunday's home game against the Detroit Red Wings, a 3-2 shootout loss. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Eklund, who has had the injury for over a week, is considered day-to-day, but it is trending in the right direction.

The Big Ten title might have gone through the Week 10 meeting between the Penn State Nittany Lions' visit to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Instead, Penn State's season collapsed and it has fired James Franklin and the Lions lost their starting QB, Drew Allar, for the season. The Buckeyes have been unstoppable and largely unchallenged this season. QB Julian Sayin has been remarkably efficient, completing 80% of his passes with a 19-to-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

He left during the third period of Friday's game against the Sabres after getting hit by Buffalo's Jason Zucker.

It's hard to him to know until game time, until warmup," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said Tuesday morning.
The Toronto Blue Jays evened the series with a Game 4 win, powered by Shane Bieber's strong pitching and a productive offense. They thrived without a key contributor. George Springer left Game 3 in the seventh inning after wincing during a swing. His MRI showed no significant damage, but he missed Game 4 due to right-sided discomfort. Springer has been crucial to the Blue Jays' offense all season, particularly in the postseason.
"O's been solid," Carbery said. "I don't think the production's been there thus far. He's got the two goals coming off of faceoff plays. But they just haven't been falling for him early in the year, much like a lot of our group. So it's a little bit different than last year. Felt like everything went in for him last year. His shooting percentage was through the roof, best of his career, and now it feels like it's flipped a little bit through 10 games."

The first-line center got tripped by Senators defenseman Artem Zub and was fallen on top of by Jakob Chychrun as they both collided into the boards.

Rielly was already considered questionable for Friday's game, dealing with an injury he had suffered on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. No details have been given on what Rielly is dealing with, nor its severity. That being said, considering he played the full game Tuesday, skated Friday, and is still a possibility for Saturday, there's good reason to believe it's nothing too serious and the Leafs are just being cautious.
