Bottom left: The Buffalo Sabres' newest acquisition participated in his first practice with his new team on Friday. The Sabres acquired goalie Malcolm Subban in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday. The move was made to shore up some depth at the position after Dustin Tokarski was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol and Craig Anderson now being considered month-to-month with an upper body injury.

The Utes, ranked 17th in this week's CFP rankings, went on to rout 10th-ranked Oregon by a 38-10 score to kick off college football's championship weekend. Photo by the University of Utah
