No sleep, bus, game, another game

The GIST: All eight teams are in action during tomorrow’s four-game regular-season finale — and there’s a lot at stake ahead of puck drop. No time to waste — let’s skate to it.

💪 Toronto Sceptres and Ottawa Charge will battle for final playoff spot: The fourth and final postseason spot remains unclaimed, coming down to the Sceptres and Charge, who just so happen to be playing each other tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET. Toronto needs a regulation win (worth 3 points) to advance, while Ottawa simply needs to not lose in regulation thanks to their three-point cushion.

• The odds, and momentum, are in favor of the Charge: Ottawa tendy Gwyneth Philips is on fire and had a 42-save outing the last time these squads faced off. Toronto, meanwhile, has dropped three of their last four games. It all comes down to this.

1️⃣ The No. 1 seed is still up for grabs: The league-leading Montréal Victoire have a one-point edge over the Boston Fleet, the only other team that can clinch the top playoff spot. And earning the No. 1 spot offers a major advantage: that squad gets to choose their semis opponent. That said, the No. 1 seed notably has lost to their chosen opponent the last two PWHL postseasons. The drama.

The GIST: Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of NBA and NHL Playoff action? Same. With multiple high-stakes showdowns happening seemingly at all times, knowing what to tune into can be tricky. Let’s dig into the series that have us sat.

🏀 A must-watch NBA matchup: Denver Nuggets icon Nikola Jokić is always appointment viewing, especially when he’s lining up against Minnesota Timberwolf Rudy Gobert, a four-time Defensive Player of the Year. Gobert got the better of Jokić in last night’s 113–96 W, but that usually means a Joker masterclass is on the way as the Nuggets try to level the series at two tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. ET.

🏒 Two feisty NHL series that could go the distance: Playoff hockey is notoriously spicy, but this year has been extra hot with six fighting majors already handed out, two more than the 2025 total. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens (tied 1-1) have exchanged literal and metaphorical blows across their two tilts — expect more of the same in Game 3 tonight at 7 p.m. ET.

• The Dallas Stars (up 2-1) and Minnesota Wild series is similarly intriguing after the Stars’ 4–3 double overtime win on Wednesday. These forever foes boast equally explosive offenses, and they’ll be on full display in Game 4 from Minnesota tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. ET.

🧹 One more thing: On the flip side, some squads are already preparing the brooms. An icy weekend sweep could be in the cards for three NHL teams: The Carolina Hurricanes (up 3-0 on the Ottawa Senators), the upstart Philadelphia Flyers (up 3-0 on the Pittsburgh Penguins), and the Colorado Avalanche (up 3-0 on the LA Kings). Spring cleaning on ice.

🏃‍♀️ In the words of Elle Woods, “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.” And who knows exercise better than FP Movement and Barry’s? These two fitness icons teamed up for an expertly designed activewear collab.

• Think performance-driven pieces that are also lay-out-the-night-before cute. The new line features tops, bottoms, and accessories to complete an all-over fit designed for fun and function. Need is an understatement.

🎾 Madrid Open: World No. 3 Coco Gauff vs. Leolia Jeanjean — Today at 9 a.m. ET — Tennis Channel

• While injured men’s world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz won’t be competing in the clay court tune up ahead of the upcoming French Open, expect to see defending Roland Garros champ Gauff getting comfortable with the messy surface — even if her relationship with clay is hilariously complicated.

⛳ LPGA: The Chevron Championship — Ongoing — Golf Channel

• It’s no Birkin, but there is a hefty $9M purse (part of an LPGA–record $132M season-long prize pool) on the line at the Chevron Championship, the first major of the year. World No. 2 Nelly Korda looks poised to continue her hot streak, opening up a two-shot lead heading into the weekend.

⚽ NWSL: Portland Thorns vs. Angel City FC — Sunday at 6 p.m. ET — ESPN2

• The gals are back from the international break and diving straight into a top-of-the-table showdown. Angel City is undefeated at home, but haven’t beaten the Thorns in the regular season since 2023. With both fresh off USWNT duty, can ACFC defender Gisele Thompson shut down Thorns forward Sophia Wilson?

🏈 Speed, stamina, and power? No, we’re not talking about yesterday’s top picks, we’re talking about the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid. Intuitively designed and ready for anything, this SUV is dripping with first-round aura.
