Not even two weeks into the season, the Blue Jays are in significant duress, forced into roster improvisation due to injury, flu and usage churn, compounded by uncharacteristically sloppy play.

Despite a punchless performance against the Devils, it was still a good day for the Canadiens as they had their playoff ticket punched. And with that goal accomplished, a new one was set: top spot in the Atlantic Division.

The Celtics haven't needed Jayson Tatum against the Raptors this season. And he was merely a 'nice-to-have' as Boston coasted past Toronto on Sunday, writes Michael Grange.
