SAN JOSE — Elias Lindholm had just tallied twice in the same shift, padding his lead atop the team scoring charts. Advertisement 2.

The previous mark was set back in the Atlanta days, with Ivan Boldirev depositing a double in a span of 1:05. It’s an honour to be living your dream, and we’re lucky that we get to do what we always wanted to do as kids. I just wanted to kind of refresh my mindset, get thinking positive again and be a positive influence for the team.” His current role is more about laying licks on the forecheck than tickling twine. “Whether you dislike or disagree with decisions that the coaches make, you have to respect them and learn from them,” Lucic said, reflecting on his stint with the popcorn-munchers on press-row. So I was like, ‘Oh c’mon, you’re not taking another one away from me, like in Tampa.’ If you were tuned to Sunday’s broadcast on Sportsnet, you likely noticed the referee initially pointed to Trevor Lewis, indicating he might deserve credit for a deflection. “Then score a goal and get a hit in the first period. He had logged north of 11 hours of ice time between buries. “Obviously it’s tough, but he’s always tried to be positive, a good teammate, working hard.

THE TRUE WARRIOR (NHL.com)

Seven-year-old James Lipowy is currently fighting cancer, but a small gesture from Chris Tanev and the Flames is helping in his battle.

That's the thing that he notices and that's the thing that he follows through on the most." "He got out for a few practices and then the first weekend with a game, he scored his first goal. "I think we're all very welcoming and very willing to try to do what it takes to make someone happy for a second, or an hour or a day or whatever it is to sort of take their mind off whatever they may be going through," Tanev said. James even declared he was ready to make a return to the ice this fall and resume playing the game he loves so much. A GoFundMe has been set up to assist the family in their fight: "That was immense and something he (James) talked about for days and weeks after." "He said 'Dad I want to play hockey again,'" Ryan said. Chris and James hit it off at the Calgary Flames Celebrity Charity Golf Classic this fall, prior to the season. On the ice, Tanev is known by teammates and those around the league for being a warrior. We made it that evening and for the hour-and-a-half that we were there, you could just tell how much it meant to him," said his father, Ryan Lipowy. Through it all, James continues to show incredible strength and resilience, including that special night he shared with his local hockey heroes. The procedure removes the entire femur and cancerous section, but also allows for the greatest mobility possible as they continue grow.

Derrick Rose with a deep take on the possibility of making the Hall of Fame. It was also Gore Jr.'s final run of the night, a cherry on top of a remarkable performance. Heinicke lost a pair of fumbles and gifted the New York Giants with a defensive touchdown in Sunday's 20-12 loss that dropped Washington to 7-6-1 on the season: The 29-year-old completed 17-of-29 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown versus Big Blue and has served as Washington's QB1 since Carson Wentz went down with a fractured right ring finger against the Chicago Bears on Oct. According to ESPN stats, Heinicke is 23rd among qualified quarterbacks with an 87.7 passer rating, 27th with a 41.4 total QBR and 28th with a 61.4% completion percentage on the campaign. "Just so we don’t look at you any different," Smith said of the signal-caller he referred to as "the G.O.A.T." Smith offered his take after the Buccaneers blew a 17-point lead against Cincinnati and after Brady completed 30-of-44 passes for 312 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Ahead of the start of the 2022-23 NBA season, the Chicago Bulls were seen as one of the contenders to compete for the NBA Championship this season. As Friedman details, the schedule would consist of four games against each of the other teams within the division, three games each against each team in the opposing division, and two against each team in the opposite conference. The winger struggled to get off the ice with the assistance of his teammates, but surprisingly was able to come back and join them in the final moments of the game. Everybody’s playing for the same colors, for the same team, for the same city. But at the end of the day, the Bulls may really have to blow up their current team, as the rumors have suggested. As shared by Brandon Contes of Awful Announcing, Smith explained during Monday's edition of "First Take" why he believes "it's time" for Brady to ride off into the sunset of retirement following Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tomas Hertl has a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety today for high-sticking Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm.

The last games Hertl missed came midway through the 2020-2021 season when he tested positive for COVID-19. The Sharks earlier Monday re-assigned defenseman Nick Cicek and forward C.J. Nico Sturm, used mainly as the Sharks’ third-line center, could move up to replace Couture on the second line, perhaps with Alexander Barabanov and Matt Nieto. Steven Lorentz, recently used as the Sharks’ fourth-line center, could also be asked to play a bigger role. Three times to the shoulder, I just tried to slash him on the stick,” Hertl said Sunday night of the play. In its explanatory video, the NHL noted that Hertl’s action was “not a reckless or careless use of the stick.
