It was a quick fall from grace for Nick Foligno, from Columbus captain to the big acquisition by his hometown team, to playing on the first line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, to back injury, to signing with the Bruins, to depth player, to healthy scratch, to going on waivers and being unclaimed. Foligno did stay up with the Bruins and is now working to carve out a role on the team. It’s hard to see him earning the $3.8 million salary cap hit he holds, but that doesn’t mean he can’t add value. So far, his modest production is matching that with three goals (shooting over 37 percent!) and four points in his first seven games. Perhaps more importantly, he’s rediscovering the form that made him such an endearing player. This goal in a game against the Minnesota Wild on Oct. 22 shows a number of things he does well when he’s on his game. It starts with him as a net-front presence on the second power-play unit. When the play continues, he runs a subtle pick on Calen Addison, giving his teammate an extra second and a little extra space, before slipping into a soft scoring area and ripping a goal home. He’s playing a little over 12 minutes per game, getting second power-play time and chipping in a little over half a minute shorthanded per contest. A little bit of everything, to go along with playing high-leverage situations and chipping in the odd goal. A potential redemption season is underway.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
