Devon Levi made 19 saves for his first NHL shutout and Evan Bouchard scored the only goal at 15:34 of the second period. Edmonton improved to 15-3-3 with its fourth straight win and is 10-2-2 in its past 14 games.

Anthony Stolarz stopped 22 shots for Toronto (8-12-2), which went winless on a six-game homestand, losing all six in regulation while being outscored 23-9. John Tavares had a tying goal disallowed one minute into the third period after a video review confirmed he deflected the puck with his stick above the crossbar. It was Oilers coach Mike Babcock's first game in Toronto since he was fired as Maple Leafs coach on Nov. 20, 2019.

UFC 334, the penultimate numbered UFC event of 2026, took place Saturday, Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. In the main event, Ciryl Gane defended the UFC heavyweight title with a unanimous 48-47 decision over Josh Hokit after a 25-minute fight.

In the co-main event, women's bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison defended her belt with a fourth-round rear-naked choke submission of Amanda Nunes. Nunes was the toughest test of Harrison's UFC career, but Harrison controlled most of the fight with her grappling before finishing it in the fourth round. She did not commit afterward to fighting again or retiring.

Kevin Holland and Uros Medic were scored a 28-28 majority draw in a decision that drew criticism. +700 underdog Luis Gurule beat -1100 favourite Bilal Hasan by unanimous decision. Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, 43, retired after knocking out Charles Radtke with a spinning back kick at 2:54 of the third round in the featured preliminary bout.

5. Bill Belichick's UNC and Louisville game ends in a brawl

A brawl broke out at the end of Saturday's game between Louisville and Bill Belichick's North Carolina. Louisville led 16-14 and, with UNC still holding a timeout it had not used on the final Louisville drive, took a knee as the clock reached 15 seconds.

North Carolina deployed a Schiano-style push to disrupt the victory formation, sparking a shoving match between the lines that grew into a full brawl. Time expired and the game ended; it remains to be seen whether the ACC or the schools hand out suspensions.

The loss dropped North Carolina to 5-5. In Belichick's second season, the Tar Heels need one win in their remaining games against Virginia and NC State to become bowl eligible.

The FAA's nationwide grounding of flights, ordered around 4 p.m. ET on Friday over safety concerns from a telecommunications outage, has forced several college football games this weekend to change start times. The stoppage was lifted about four hours later, but more than 15,000 flights were delayed or canceled and close to 3,000 flights scheduled for Saturday were expected to be affected.

Eight games have had start times impacted. Most notably, Mississippi-Oklahoma, scheduled for Saturday at 4:15 p.m. ET, will now be played Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The charter company Ole Miss has an agreement with could not accommodate a late-night departure on Friday, so the team did not leave for Norman until Saturday afternoon.

Utah also could not travel Friday and left for Tucson on Saturday morning, with its game still played Saturday three hours later than originally scheduled. Kansas-West Virginia moved up from 5:30 to 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2. Central Oklahoma athletic director Stan Wagnon said fans with a ticket to the Rebels-Sooners game can get free admission to the Bronchos' football game against Missouri Western and the men's basketball game against Oklahoma Christian.

Mark Scheifele had a goal and three assists, Kyle Connor scored in regulation and added the deciding shootout goal, and the Winnipeg Jets rallied from a four-goal deficit to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Saturday for their sixth straight win.

Scheifele's second-period goal with 3:55 left made him the Jets' all-time points leader with 933, after the original Jets records were consolidated before this season and the late Dale Hawerchuk had held the mark. He then set up Connor's 700th career point 1:56 later, Cole Perfetti scored on the power play early in the third, and Gabriel Vilardi tied it 4-4 with 1:13 remaining after goaltender Nico Daws was pulled for an extra attacker.

Scheifele also scored in the shootout and Daws stopped Roman Kantserov to secure the win. Daws made 12 saves in relief after Stuart Skinner was pulled following the first period, having allowed three goals on eight shots. It was Winnipeg's second four-goal comeback this season.

Olivia Chisholm's first professional goal in the 39th minute lifted AFC Toronto past the Montreal Roses 1-0 in the Northern Super League final on Saturday at TD Place in Ottawa, giving Toronto its first Diana B. Matheson Cup.

"It feels really special to score my first goal in this final," said Chisholm, who is 17. Lauren Rowe beat her defender in the box and sent a pass from near the endline to Chisholm, who side-footed a shot past goalkeeper Gabrielle Lambert.

Toronto finished first overall last season but lost the final to Vancouver. This year it finished third and advanced by beating Ottawa 8-2 on aggregate in the semifinals. Montreal had been unbeaten in 12 games since Maryse Bard-Martel took over as interim coach in August and won its first Supporters' Shield, but could not beat Toronto keeper Sabrina D'Angelo.

9. Canadiens forward Chris Kreider out six to eight weeks with lower-body injury

Source: Montreal Gazette

The Montreal Canadiens announced Saturday morning that forward Chris Kreider will be sidelined six to eight weeks with a lower-body injury. He appeared to hurt his left knee in the third period of Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins in Boston when Bruins forward Michael Eyssimont lost his balance near centre ice and fell into him; Kreider left the ice unable to put any weight on his left leg.

Kreider, who joined Montreal as a free agent, had three goals and six assists in 19 games. Florian Xhekaj will replace him. Coach Martin St. Louis said Kreider's loss is hard to measure on the ice and in the dressing room but called it an opportunity for someone else.

Before Saturday's game against Colorado, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Nathan MacKinnon will miss at least a month and Cale Makar about two weeks after both were hurt in Thursday's loss to the Senators. MacKinnon has 30 points (10 goals, 20 assists) in 20 games, fifth in the NHL; Makar has 23 points (five goals, 18 assists), third among defencemen.
