Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings Live Online Streaming

Part of the reason Green Bay Packers felt comfortable with Favre’s initial retirement was the presence of Aaron Rodgers , and the second-year starter - who sat behind Favre for three years - has thrown four touchdowns without an interception. He’s only completed 56.7 percent of his passes, but Rodgers helped the Packers bounce back from a home loss to Cincinnati with a big effort Sunday in their road opener. He threw for 269 yards and two scores in Green Bay’s 36-17 rout of St. Louis.

The Minnesota Vikings are fourth in total defense, allowing 259.7 yards per game, and have eight sacks, with Jared Allen’s two leading the way. Allen also has two forced fumbles. That’s one more than Ben Leber has, but the eighth-year linebacker is eager for more from his defense against Rodgers and the Packers. Minnesota hasn’t won four in a row to begin a season since the 2003 club opened 6-0.

The Packers won four of their last five visits to the Metrodome with Favre, who threw 12 touchdown passes and had a quarterback rating of at least 100 in each game in that span.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs Vancouver Canucks Live Online Streaming

First of four meetings this season; Columbus won three of the four meetings between teams that made the playoffs last season, including a wild 6-5 shootout victory on Jan. 18. Blue Jackets captain Rick Nash and Kevin Bieksa of the Canucks led the series with three goals apiece. While the Jackets hit the road fresh off a season-opening win against Minnesota, the Canucks come home about as desperate to get two points as a team with 80 games remaining can be. They lost road games at Calgary and Colorado, with goaltender Roberto Luongo allowing a total of seven goals.

Columbus got a great deal accomplished on Saturday, much of it revolving around veteran defenseman Rostislav Klesla. The first-ever draft pick by the Jackets (No. 4 in 2000) signed a four-year contract extension prior to the game against the Wild, then went out and scored the game-winning goal in the third period. Steve Mason, the reigning Calder Trophy winner, stopped 32 shots in the 2-1 victory.

For a team that won the Northwest Division last season and has unfinished business after a second-round playoff ouster by Chicago, it's been rough going early on for Vancouver. The Canucks almost rallied from a 4-1 deficit before losing 5-3 to the Flames on opening night, but they never got anything going in a 3-0 defeat to the resurgent Avalanche on Saturday.
