- He’s back and he’s added NHLPA Player of the Week honors to his week of accolades. [NHLPA]

- Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, now holds a 20% stake in Monumental Sports… so what does that mean? [WashTimes]
- The Hershey Bears are off to a bit of a rough start in their 2017-18 campaign. [Caps Outsider]
