Because of the magnitude of an Olympics, it can sometimes feel like the rest of the sports world is put on pause. For a bunch of reasons, that probably wasn't as much the case for the recently closed Beijing Games.

Still, plenty of us returned to work today with our eyes glazed over from staying up late to watch curling, speed skating and much more over the past three weeks. For those of you who fall in that category, here's a quick non-Olympic sports catch-up to make sure you're still in the loop (and not just loopy):

NHL

What you missed: The Oilers and Canadiens both fired their coaches and responded with winning streaks. Last-place Montreal even beat up Toronto last night, though it still feels like the Leafs' season will be solely judged on the playoffs. The Flames are the hottest team in the league, having won 10 straight to take top spot in the Pacific. The Canucks settled somewhere in the middle between their awful start and their own post-coach firing bump. Senators fans are still banking on a bright future. The Jets are just OK.

What's next: The March 21 trade deadline is less than one month away. The Habs already dealt top forward Tyler Toffoli to the Flames, but they have more to sell off including defenceman Ben Chiarot. Calgary, meanwhile, should continue to be a buyer in a market in which former captain Mark Giordano could be available from the Kraken. Giordano may be a fit in Toronto, where Jake Muzzin struggled before going down with injury last night. The Oilers, as always, need a goalie. They could look to Marc-Andre Fleury from Chicago.
