Poll: How Many Goals Will Auston Matthews Score This Season?

After a summer full of changes, the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to look very different in the 2026-27 season. One person who could welcome some new personnel, and a fresh start, is Auston Matthews.  The 28-year-old finished with the lowest goal total of his career, potting just 27 in 60 games. With a new-look offensive core that includes No. 1 pick Gavin McKenna, and a new power-play quarterback in Darren Raddysh, how many goals will Matthews finish with this season?1w

Should David Pastrnak Or Charlie McAvoy Be The Bruins' Next Captain?

The Boston Bruins have been without a captain since Brad Marchand was traded to the Florida Panthers during the 2024-25 season. The Bruins have had a ton of legends wear the 'C' over the years, including Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, Joe Thornton, and Ray Bourque. With the season quickly approaching, it's unclear whether or not the Bruins will go without a captain for a second consecutive season, but there are two candidates that stand out as potential fits. David Pastrnak has been one of the NHL's most dominant players of his era, with only Alex Ovechkin, Leon Draisaitl and Auston Matthews scoring more goals than the 30-year-old since he entered the league in the 2014-15 season. Being the centerpiece of the Bruins' offense for nearly a decade, there's no question that Pastrnak has put together the resume worthy of the captaincy, and the appreciation from the franchise that would come with it. Charlie McAvoy has developed into one of the league's best defensemen, and has been the Bruins' No. 1 blueliner for nearly the entirety of his NHL career. Both players have compelling cases to become the team's next captain, but who would be the best fit?3w
