In Columbus, the fallout from Ohio State's stunning collapse against Oregon is still echoing. The Buckeyes jumped out to a fourteen-point first quarter lead before the wheels came completely off. Ryan Day's squad got outcoached and outplayed from the second quarter forward, and now the program is left asking hard questions about where this season is headed.
Speaking of Oregon, give Dan Lanning his flowers. The Ducks came into two thousand twenty six navigating a quarterback crisis, fired their offensive coordinator midseason, and still walked into Columbus and shocked the Buckeyes. Whatever shortcomings Oregon faces down the stretch, this is the finest coaching performance of Lanning's tenure, and that is not a small statement.
Shifting to the ice, Edmonton got a major boost ahead of Saturday's showdown with Vancouver. The Oilers activated both forward Zach Hyman and goaltender Devon Levi off injured reserve, making both available for the Canucks matchup. Hyman's return adds bite to that top six, and having Levi back between the pipes gives Edmonton real depth in goal at exactly the right moment.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
