🏒 2:00: Florida Panthers – Vancouver Canucks, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will Bobrovsky take another step towards a historic achievement?
Sergei Bobrovsky, who led Florida to its first Stanley Cup in the summer, has long been the leader in NHL regular season wins among Russian goaltenders and will soon set another historic achievement. Now he has 398 victories and in the match against Vancouver he can take the penultimate step towards the important 400 mark.
In the United States, Bobrovsky is already considered a strong candidate for the Hockey Hall of Fame:

🏒 2:00: Tampa Bay Lightning – Vegas Golden Knights, NHL regular season
Intrigue: will Kucherov continue scoring goals?
Tampa is perfect at the start of the season and remains the only team in the league that has not yet lost. It’s true that they only played two games, but we can already say that Nikita Kucherov is on fire. The hat trick against Carolina was followed by another goal against Vancouver. We expect new scoring achievements from the Russian in the match against Vegas.
Rivals have a new term in honor of Kucherov:
“We’re screwed.” Carolina coach Brindamour talks about loss to Tampa
🏒 2:30: Detroit Red Wings – New York Rangers, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will Panarin extend his point streak since the start of the season?
Artemiy Panarin, who hardly played in the preseason while recovering from his injuries, began to perform as usual with the start of the regular season. A hat-trick assist in the first game, a double in the second and two more assists in the third. A year ago, his point streak from the start of the season lasted an incredible 15 games, but what result will he show this year?
Artemy is one of the best players in the league right now:

Panarin and Malkin are destroying the NHL! Russian superstars are the best scorers of the season so far
🏀 2:30: Dallas Mavericks – Milwaukee Bucks, NBA preseason games
Intrigue: Will the “bums” win at least one game in the preseason?
The 2024 finalist Dallas Mavericks are entering the season, to put it mildly, not well. The team, in the absence of leader Luka Doncic, lost three games in a row during the NBA preseason. Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson still can’t play well together, and the former Golden State player went 0 for nine from the field in the last game and ultimately failed to score a single point. “Milwaukee” did not get very far in terms of results – one victory in three matches. However, all the leaders are in the party’s lineup: Lillard, Antetokounmpo and López. Can the Texans defeat their formidable opponent?
Has the NBA player completely lost his shame?
Why are NBA players paid millions? One of the best basketball players has become completely insolent.
🏀 3:00: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets, NBA preseason games
Intrigue: are “pips” so terrible?
The Minnesota Timberwolves reached the West finals for the first time in a long time last season, beating the Denver Nuggets along the way. Anthony Edwards, who is already being compared to Michael Jordan, has revealed himself in a new way on the Wolves field. Minnesota has a 2-2 record in the preseason, but the “Nuggets” have yet to win a single game in the four they played. Furthermore, in the last one they lost hard against Oklahoma (94:124). Will NBA MVP Nikola Jokic turn things around?
The newcomer took revenge for the exchange:
“Thank you for sharing.” NBA player scolds his former club for transfer
🏀 5:00: Phoenix Suns – Los Angeles Lakers, NBA preseason games
Intrigue: Durant or LeBron: who will win?
The LeBron James vs. Kevin Durant matchup isn’t as good as the King vs. Stephen Curry, but it’s still incredibly worthy. They played in the 2012 finals when LeBron won the championship with Miami. They then met again twice in the deciding series, when Durant played for Golden State. This time the trophy was in the hands of the “warriors” and Kevin on two occasions. But this is already a thing of the past. The present: They play for the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers, who will face each other before the start of the NBA regular season.
Why don’t they still believe in Durant?
Is Durant great? Kevin is one step away from a historic achievement in the NBA, but they don’t believe in him
🏒 5:00: Seattle Kraken – Philadelphia Flyers, NHL regular season
Intrigue: what will Michkov show after his first double in the NHL?
Now the era of Matvey Michkov has truly begun! Philadelphia’s star rookie scored his first two NHL goals in the previous game against Edmonton. And, although John Tortorella, even before the start of the season, asked not to see the Russian as the savior of the club, since he is still very young, this moment, it seems, is not far away.
This is how this important game for Philadelphia went:

🎾 10:30*: Mirra Andreeva (Russia) – Barbora Krejcikova (Czech Republic, 4), Ningbo, 1/4 final
💬 Match with text broadcast
*The match schedule may change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: Will Mirra reach the Russian derby in the Ningbo semifinals with Kalinskaya?
Mirra Andreeva, 17, moves quickly through the 500 grid in Ningbo. Her opponent in the quarterfinals will be TBS champion Barbora Krejcikova. The girls had already met three times before. The first two matches were in Mirra’s hands: at Wimbledon 2023 and Beijing 2023, but at the Australian Open 2024 Barbora was already stronger. The winner of the new match will compete in the Ningbo semifinals with the pair Anna Kalinskaya and Karolina Muchova.
Young Russian rocks in Asia:
Mirra won the second consecutive match with the shuttlecock! Andreeva broke into the Ningbo quarterfinals
⚽️ 14:35: Shanghai Shenhua – Henan, China – Super League, matchday 28
Intrigue: Will Slutsky’s team extend its winning streak?
Leonid Slutsky’s team is doing everything possible to ensure that the intrigue for the championship in China continues until the last match. With three rounds left in the championship, Shanghai Shenhua is just two points away from the port of Shanghai. Slutsky’s team has the most reliable defense in the league (16 goals conceded), but this is still not enough to dislodge its neighbors from the first place in the table. Henan is currently ranked seventh in the Super League. He also lost three times in the last four rounds. Can the locals extend their winning streak?
Slutsky spoke on a resonant topic:
“No one invites us anywhere!” Slutsky responded to a question about Russia’s possible transition to Asia
🏒 17:00: “Traktor” – “Salavat Yulaev”, KHL regular championship
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Traktor crack the Ufa nut?
“Traktor” is the best team in the Eastern Conference at the moment, and everyone can’t get enough of praising their coach Benoit Groux and falling under his charm. But “Salavat Yulaev” remains a tough nut to crack, which the residents of Chelyabinsk have not yet been able to solve. Of the four matches scheduled in the regular season, two have already been held in a month and a half of the season, and on both occasions the Ufa team won. Can Traktor achieve victory on the third try?
Let’s analyze the game of the Eastern leader:

🎾 17:00*: Karen Khachanov (Russia, 3) – Beibit Zhukaev (Kazakhstan, World Cup), Almaty, 1/4 final
*The match schedule may change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: Will Khachanov reach the quarterfinals of the Almaty tournament?
Karen Khachanov had a successful start at the Almaty tournament and will now compete with Kazakh tennis hope Beibit Zhukaev in the quarter-finals. The tennis players already faced each other last year in Shanghai, and then the Russian turned out to be stronger. The winner of the new fight will then face one of the Frances Tiafoe – Aleksandar Vukic couples.
Karen successfully finishes the Asian tournament series:
Khachanov defeated Serundolo for the seventh time. And Rublev and Kalinskaya did not finish the match in Beijing due to the rain
⚽️ 18:00: Akron – Zenit, RPL, 12th round
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: how will Dzyuba play against his former team?
Artyom Dzyuba against Zenit is very attractive, isn’t it? Surely the veteran will take the field with an incredible attitude, but will he be able to break through the most reliable defense in the championship (four goals conceded)? The arrival of Dzyuba encouraged Akron, but the team lost without a chance at home against Krasnodar (2-5). The next match will answer the question of whether Zaur Tedeev’s team is capable of facing such high-level opponents. Or is another defeat awaiting us?
Ranking that includes Dzyuba:

⚽️ 20:15: “Akhmat” – “Fakel”, RPL, 12th round
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: who will win in a battle between two outsiders?
The most important match between two teams that are at the bottom of the table. “Akhmat” and “Fakel” won only one victory between them in the RPL. Additionally, both have attacking problems. “Fakel” scored only five goals, “Akhmat” – seven. By the way, the Voronezh club is not inferior to its rival for three matches in the RPL (two wins, one draw). Last season, Fakel beat his opponents twice. What will it be like this time?
Akhmat looks forward to the match with a positive attitude:
Sports director of “Akhmat”: the situation is difficult, but in the match with “Fakel” we are waiting for the first victory
⚽️ 21:00: Al-Shabab – Al-Nasr, Saudi Arabia – Pro League, seventh round
Intrigue: will Ronaldo score again?
Al-Nasr is in third place in the Saudi League standings, Al-Shabab is in fourth. The guests look very good in the last matches of the championship: three victories with a total score of 8:0. But Al Shabab lost to Damak (0-1) in the last round and interrupted a four-win streak. Cristiano Ronaldo scores in four consecutive Al-Nasr games (we are talking about all the tournaments). The Portuguese dreams of reaching 1,000 goals. Will he get closer to her after the next match?
When will Ronaldo reach a thousand goals?
The main question is about Ronaldo. How much time does Cristiano need for a thousand goals?
⚽️ 21:45: Monaco – Lille, Ligue 1, matchday 8
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: can Golovin’s team face the Champions League player?
Monaco approaches the eighth round of Ligue 1 as the leader of the tournament. Even PSG is still two points behind the Monegasques. A very complicated match awaits us. Lille occupies fifth place in the table and at the end of last season it jumped into the Champions League zone. Last season the rivals exchanged victories at home. Alexander Golovin’s team beat Lille (1-0), but lost in the first round (0-2). In the last five games played at the Monaco stadium, the team did not achieve a single victory.
Do you agree with the opinion of Golovin’s colleagues?
