Jack Hughes‘ overtime goal led Team USA to a win against arch rival Canada in the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics men’s ice hockey gold medal game.

Hughes, 24, of the New Jersey Devils, scored 1:41 seconds into 3-on-3 sudden death overtime to give the Americans their first gold medal in Olympic play since the ‘Miracle on Ice’ team at the 1980 Lake Placid Games. Jack’s brother Quinn was responsible for Team USA’s game-winning overtime goal in the quarterfinals two games prior.

Team USA jumped out to an early lead with Matt Boldy scoring six minutes into the game with a goal assisted by Auston Matthews and Quinn Hughes. Canada’s Cale Makar answered with a second period goal assisted by Devon Toews, who was later stopped by Team USA goaltender Connor Hellebuyck on a would-be go ahead goal in the third period.

Hughes was called for a penalty with less than four minutes in regulation, with Team USA fending off the Canadian power play just before time expired. The Americans defeated Canada despite a 42-28 shots on goal disparity, with Hellebuyck recording 41 saves.

The All-Star break traditionally marks the proverbial halfway point of the season. That means it’s time to dish out midterm grades for the New York Knicks.

Jalen Brunson: A

50 GP, 34.6. MPG, 27.0 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 6.1 APG, 37.4 3P%

The captain is once again an All-Star, has upped his defense in recent games and New York is blessed to have him. He could do a better job at times, though, of steering the group towards more ball movement.

Mitchell Robinson: A-

39 GP, 19.6. MPG, 5.0 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 1.0 APG, 40.8 FT** %

The forever Knick has missed a few games due to his injury management program, but he’s a game changer when he’s on the court and is in the best shape we’ve seen since his early freak-of-nature days. 

Miles McBride: A-

35 GP, 38.0 MPG, 12.9 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.8 APG, 42.0 3P%

“Deuce” underwent surgery for a core muscle injury last week and will be out for six-to-eight weeks. He will possibly miss the rest of the season and it’s a big blow. The two-way guard has been great on both sides of the ball and is on the biggest bargain contract in the NBA. 

Josh Hart: B+

43 GP, 30.6. MPG, 12.2 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 5.2 APG, 40.7 3P%

Like a Swiss army knife, Hart does it all and continues to show why he’s been the heart and soul of this group since coming over from Portland three years ago. Despite having a heavily bandaged ring finger on his shooting hand, the 9-year pro is making teams pay for leaving him open. 

Landry Shamet: B+

30 GP, 21.9. MPG, 9.6 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 1.5 APG, 42.2 3P%

Despite missing 25 games with a flare up in his already damaged right shoulder, the sharpshooting guard hasn’t missed a beat and been a key cog off the bench.

OG Anunoby: B

41 GP, 33.0 MPG, 16.6 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 2.4 APG, 37.0 3P%

We’ve seen the six-foot-seven menace wreck games with his defensive ability. He does goes MIA on occasion and plays so hard on both ends that he’s sometimes visibly exhausted. When he’s at his best, the Knicks are at their best.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes revealed his personal list of the top 5 greatest quarterbacks of all-time during an exclusive interview with Complex.

Mahomes had mentioned seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady — whom he faced in Super Bowl LV and shared the MADDEN NFL 22 cover with — and confirmed that he was his top choice.

“Yeah, I mean, you got to say Tom’s 1, but if you talk about the legends of the game, Tom, Peyton Manning, obviously Aaron Rogers, Joe Montana, and then it gets down to Dan Marino or John Elway to round off your top five,” Mahomes.

Mahomes is already considered to be one of the league’s all-time greatest quarterbacks just six years into his NFL career. The 27-year-old is coming off his second Super Bowl victory, having led the Chiefs to three appearances in the past four years and his second NFL Most Valuable Player award, having won twice in five years.
