Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk will be the face of NHL 26
Matthew Tkachuk has been the face of the Florida Panthers for the past three years. He is becoming one of the faces of USA hockey, too, leading into the Winter Olympics in February. And now, he's the face of the NHL's annual video game. Tkachuk, the Panthers' star winger, will be the cover athlete for NHL 26, EA Sports unveiled on Monday. The full cover design for the game will be announced Wednesday on the EA Sports NHL YouTube channel. Tkachuk, who joined the Panthers via a blockbuster trade with the Calgary Flames ahead of the 2022-23 season, has helped turn the Panthers into a juggernaut. Florida has reached the Stanley Cup Final in all three of his seasons with the team and won it all each of the past two years. In that time, Tkachuk has logged 254 points (88 goals, 166 assists) in 211 regular-season games with the Panthers while adding another 69 points (25 goals, 44 assists) in 67 Stanley Cup playoffs games. He was tied for the team lead with 23 points during the team's run to a second consecutive Stanley Cup. Tkachuk also helped the United States win silver in the 4 Nations Face-Off in February and has already been named one of six players to be on Team USA for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. Tkachuk is the second Panthers player to grace the cover of the video game's main cover. Goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck was on the cover of NHL 97. Meanwhile, Olli Jokinen was on the cover of the European version of NHL 2005. It's the second time in the past three years a South Florida athlete has been the main cover athlete for a league's video game. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was on the cover of 2023 edition of MLB The Show when he was with the Miami Marlins.

Maple Leafs trade pitch sends recently signed youngster to Wild
Maple Leafs trade pitch sends recently signed youngster to Wild originally appeared on The Sporting News If the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to win a Stanley Cup next season, there's still a chance that they could go out and try to make a blockbuster move. However, for them to do that, there are a few different things they have to consider. After losing Mitch Marner and possibly having to move on from others in the near future, the Maple Leafs could view next season as a year where they're going to struggle and try to figure things out. However, given some of the other veterans on the roster, the Maple Leafs are still in a somewhat decent position to compete, at the very least. Despite the uncertainties of what the Maple Leafs want to do, Heavy Sports' Cole Shelton recently proposed a trade idea to send them a veteran player in Mats Zuccarello of the Minnesota Wild. The downside in this trade would be sending a second-round pick to the Wild. MORE: Maple Leafs acquire: Mats Zuccarello Wild acquire: Nick Robertson, 2027 second-round pick 'The proposed deal would be an intriguing one as Toronto would acquire Zuccarello from the Wild to fill a top-six role. The Wild, meanwhile, get a draft pick and a young NHL forward who could use a change of scenery. 'The Maple Leafs would add Zuccarello, who's entering the final year of his two-year, $8.25 million deal. Zuccarello can be Toronto's second-line left winger, which is a major need for the team. He's coming off a season where he recorded 19 goals and 35 assists for 54 points in 69 games. His career high is 79 points and 26 goals,' he wrote. Moving on from a second-round pick in the position the Maple Leafs are currently in would be interesting, but it isn't like it'll be the end-all be-all. Ultimately, the Maple Leafs probably need younger players, and Zuccarello wouldn't be that, but it's still an intriguing thought and something they could consider depending on how the remainder of the offseason goes.
