Mike Tauchman's RBI single
When the 12 nations that will take part in the Olympic tournament announced their first six players on Monday, a single Montreal Canadiens player was named: Juraj Slafkovsky with Team Slovakia. That's not to say Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Patrik Laine won't be representing their respective countries come February, but they haven't made the cut yet.

Liverpool to REPLACE Federico Chiesa with £30m winger
Liverpool have a replacement in mind for , even before the Italian departs. The forward line has already gone through some significant changes this summer and we're set for more if the rumoured moves come to fruition. Each of the absentees will need to be replaced. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! We've already seen Hugo Ekitike join to help replace Darwin Nunez when he moves on and Diogo Jota's passing has sadly meant that another striker could join - Alexander Isak is highly favoured. Luis Diaz's move to Bayern Munich might result in Malick Fofana at Lyon being approached, although Cody Gakpo will be given an even bigger role in his absence and Rio Ngumoha's extraordinary performances throughout pre-season have given the Englishman hopes of some senior minutes. Since it's likely that Chiesa will leave, someone has already been identified as his replacement. Liverpool already have Chiesa's replacement Playing as Mohamed Salah's understudy was always going to be a difficult job. At times, you feel there might be an opportunity to play a substantial role in the team, but if you have a season where the Egyptian delivers 57 goal contributions, then you might feel shut-out on the sidelines. Slot didn't really know what to do with Chiesa last season and regular minutes are going to be essential if he has plans of making Italy's World Cup squad next summer. A move is understandable. Now that Salah has signed a new two-year deal with the club, you would expect him to have another main role in the team this season, which would be a spanner in the Italian's plans. But if you have a developing young player as his understudy at right-wing, then things start to make more sense. The 33-year-old Egyptian will need to be replaced eventually as he starts to slow down towards the end of his career, and having his successor develop alongside him would be a beneficial move. As such, it seems logical for Ben Doak to be promoted to the first team after a number of loan moves. He spent last season on loan with Middlesbrough in the Championship and he played a particularly extensive role, making featuring for 1787 minutes and delivering three goals and seven assists. In addition, he was heavily reported to have put most of the defenders he faced on skids, dribbling past them with relative ease, even despite him being marked by three opposition players at times. At Anfield on Monday afternoon, when the Reds played Athletic Bilbao in a pre-season friendly, he scored from a tight angle and delivered a pin-point ball into Ngumoha to assist the second goal.

Red Wings Could Be Dark Horse in Mason McTavish Sweepstakes
The Detroit Red Wings present the most compelling offer for Anaheim RFA Mason McTavish: offering a larger role, a competitive salary, and a spot on a team built to contend. As we find ourselves in the middle portion of the summer where there isn't much going on, speculation grows around certain players and unresolved situations. One of the most prominent ones dominating the current news cycle is the Anaheim Ducks and restricted free agent Mason McTavish. At just 22 years old, he has been one of the few bright spots on a rising Ducks team. He's shown steady improvement, posting a career-best 0.68 points per game last season, finishing with 52 points in 76 games. His numbers were similar to big name centres like Ryan O'Reilly, Brock Boeser and 2025 Conn Smythe trophy winner Sam Bennett. However, with the Ducks shifting into contender mode, McTavish could face a reduced role. The recent addition of Chris Kreider may push him down the lineup, potentially taking over McTavish's spot. The former third overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft is already proving to be a difference making player and could grow when given the right oppurtunity like he would get with the Detroit Red Wings. Early reports suggest that the team would like to keep the team's second line of Patrick Kane, Marco Kasper and Alex DeBrincat together. This means the top line left wing spot is open for the taking with one lucky player getting the chance to play alongside a pair of superstars in Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. Detroit would love to make a big swing and add a big name in this spot with McTavish being a potential answer. He has seen time at both centre and left wing with the Red Wings having an elite pool of draft capital and prospects that would be able to get a deal done. The Ducks are reportedly only interested in adding NHL-ready talent but the Red Wings could likely present them an offer that they can't refuse. Divisional Focus: Red Wings Look to Ice the Bruins' Rebuild The Red Wings aim to win four crucial divisional games over the Boston Bruins next season Some have suggested a potential package leaving Detroit could feature a first- and second-round pick as well as regular NHLers in J.T. Compher and Jonatan Berggren to round out the group. The Red Wings in return could add a third-round pick alongside McTavish and in the process free up some spots for prospects to come up and find immediate roles while having the top six secured for the future. Detroit offers everything McTavish could be looking for: a contending team on the rise, a lineup that genuinely needs his skill set, and a larger role than what likely awaits him in Anaheim. On top of that, with over $12 million in cap space, the Red Wings have the flexibility to pay him like a true top-six forward. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites!
