The Los Angeles Kings lost Game 6 on home ice to the Edmonton Oilers, which ended their 2022-23 season.This was another back-and-forth affair like we've seen many times in this series, and ultimately the Kings came up short.A first round exit against the Oilers was how their season ended last year as well, but there is a lot we have learned over this year.

So, I'm not here to tell everybody it's panic time.It's probably a bit too early in the season for that.However, the injuries are overwhelming right now.First there was the pitching staff, and in the last few weeks one hitter goes down, then the next, and then the next.Unfortunately, it has hit where it hurts the most.

GOODYEAR, Ariz.- An upbeat Andrew Vaughn said his back felt "normal" Saturday, a bright piece of news for the White Sox as they near Opening Day hoping to be at full strength.A day after batting three times and dashing at full speed from second base to home as the designated hitter in a minor league game, Vaughn played first base in another minor league game, going 1-for-4, Saturday afternoon.

John Carlson (74) had a goal and an assist in his first game since getting hit in the head by a slap shot Dec. 23.(Patrick Smith/Getty Images)John Carlson only knows one way to play hockey, so when he skated across the spot Thursday where he suffered a fractured skull and severed temporal artery three months ago on the Capital One Arena ice, he didn't look back.

It has been quite a while since Chris Sale was available to the Boston Red Sox to start a season.Sale made Opening Day starts for Boston in 2018 and 2019 but has been sidelined with injuries as the Red Sox opened each season since.In 2020 and 2021, it was Tommy John surgery that kept him from being able to contribute from the jump.

With the World Baseball Classic wrapping up, spring training games are the only thing that stand between us and the long-awaited regular season.As everyone makes some final tweaks to prepare for real games, the Yankees send a split-squad to Sarasota to take on the division rival Orioles, who are at or near full strength.

FRISCO, Texas -- Running back Tony Pollard underwent surgery Tuesday to repair ligaments from a high ankle sprain he suffered in the Dallas Cowboys' divisional round playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, according to a source.

According to CBS Sports' Brad Botkin, the Boston Celtics wouldn't have been Eastern Conference champions in 2022 had it not been for the absence of the Bucks' 3x All-Star forward Khris Middleton."A potential Boston-Milwaukee conference finals would be a war, and though I've favored Boston in most of my analysis throughout the season, I am leaning Milwaukee now," Botkin prefaced before saying, "They've just been so great over the last six weeks, and I can't ignore that Milwaukee likely wins last season with a healthy Middleton."

BOSTON -- Several weeks ago, Ja Morant made headlines when he told ESPN's Malika Andrews that the Memphis Grizzlies are " fine in the West."What drew a little less attention was that Morant said there was one team he was, in fact, concerned about: the Boston Celtics.And, after Memphis lost 119-109 Sunday to a Celtics team that is missing three of its top eight players -- including Boston's starting backcourt of reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart and All-Star Jaylen Brown -- Morant explained his concern about the Eastern Conference foe.

Celtics "I said what I said, and I mean that."Ja Morant knew the questions about his "fine in the West comments" were coming after a shorthanded Celtics team handled the Grizzlies with relative ease during a 119-109 Boston win at TD Garden.What makes the Celtics the team to watch out for more than any team in the Western Conference?

The Eastern Conference is a warzone in the NHL this season.Not that it hasn't been in recent years, but the New York Rangers certainly have their work cut out for them as the calendar turns to March.As one of the top teams that made a massive trade to improve the roster, New York was already seen as a team that "won" the deadline period.

Tomas Nosek has been out a month with a non-displaced foot fracture, but there appears to be optimism the forward can return to the Bruins lineup soon.Boston is preparing for its matchup against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday, and while the Black and Gold will be riding high on a four-game winning streak, they are not at full strength just yet.

The New York Rangers are expected to be relatively quiet during today's trade deadline.Given they've made two huge splashes with Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane, there wasn't much else for them to do.However the Tyler Motte injury suffered last night may change things, depending on its severity.

The Kansas City Chiefs flu game?Ahead of Super Bowl 57, Chris Jones and Co. are dealing with an airborne virus, rather than an injury.Chris Jones and several Kansas City Chiefs players have come down with a virus of some sort.While it's not expected to keep them out for the Super Bowl by any means, it has limited their practice time and media availability in the most important week of their football lives.

The divisional round of the 2022 NFL playoffs continues with a game between the #1 seed in the NFC and the their division rival.The Philadelphia Eagles are hosting the New York Giants tonight, and Washington fans are going to be heavily invested in this one.This will be the third time these two teams play this season, and the Eagles won both of the previous matchups.
