On this week's episode of The Senstennial Podcast, we're joined by The Hockey News' Graeme Nichols! We recap the entirety of Steve Staios' spring and summer as Ottawa's general manager, starting with the hiring of Travis Green as Senators head coach and what his impact will be on the culture of the Sens. We also discuss Staios' slew of trades, including the additions of Linus Ullmark and Nick Jensen, and the subtractions in Joonas Korpisalo, Mathieu Joseph, and Mark Kastelic.

Stanley Cup Champion and returning Ottawa Senator Michael Amadio joins the show. A versatile player, Amadio brings plenty of intangibles to Ottawa's lineup this season.Plus we are rolling out our new contest so be sure to tune in!

Welcome to the latest episode of the Sens Nation Podcast! In our latest edition, we dive into the Senators' latest trades and signings. First, we discuss Shane Pinto's re-signing to a modest two-year contract and the dumping of Mathieu Joseph to clear space for the Pinto signing. We get into the big deal that sent defenceman Jakob Chychrun to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Nick Jensen and a third-round pick in 2026. What does this mean for both teams and the players involved? Then, we analyze the Ottawa Senators' recent moves, including the signing of free-agent winger David Perron and the acquisitions of Michael Amadio and Noah Gregor to strengthen their bottom six. Additionally, we cover the Senators' decisions not to qualify Erik Brannstrom and Parker Kelly, who subsequently became unrestricted free agents. Join us as we break down these moves and more in this episode of the Sens Nation Podcast, brought to you by Jim Keay Ford!

VGK plays in its biggest game of the postseason so far, as the Golden Knights will attempt to break a 2-2 series tie with a win in Dallas tonight.  Each team has won on the road in this series and the Golden Knights are hoping to continue that trend and go up 3-2 in the series.  According to Bruce Cassidy, VGK has to clean up a lot of self-inflicted mistakes, mostly penalties and turnovers.  VGK needs to get some scoring punch, especially from its middle six. Monday, Cassidy inserted Michael Amadio into the lineup for the first time and he scored a goal and played well vs Dallas in the loss. We could see Pavel Dorofeyev draw into the lineup after Cassidy aluded to making a lineup change yesterday.  We talked about VGK losing in the faceoff area also.  And we have our locks and predictions for pivitol Game 5. 

The away team has won every game so far in the opening round series between Dallas and Las Vegas. The Stars were two 0-2 in the series before winning both games at the Fortress. Dallas was the best road team in the NHL this season and they played like it over the past six periods. Jack Eichel scored his third goal of the series and Michael Amadio, who drew in for an ineffective Anthony Mantha scored his first postseason goal. Each VGK goals coming on rebounds. The Stars scored on the power play as Wyatt Johnston scored his third goal of the series. Two odd angle shots really did in VGK. The Stars scored twice on shots from the goal line. We feel Dallas has been the better team so far in the series. Chris pointed out that Dallas has had a 68-36 advantage in high danger shots the past two games. We also discuss how VGK can regain momentum in the series.

Topping our list of unsung heroes this season for the Golden Knights, is defenseman Brayden McNabb. Not only has he played in every game, he already has a career high of 24 points. He's plus-18 on the season and plus-116 for his career. Michael Amadio is also on our list. We talk about the impact of trade deadline acquisitions Noah Hanifin and Anthony Mantha. They have combined for 14 points in the 13 games since they hit the ice for VGK. We also discuss the Pacific Division race as it comes down to the wire.

Jonathan Marchessault potted his 40th goal of the season on an empty netter in overtime Saturday, as VGK defeated the Minnesota Wild 2-1. The win wrapped up a successful road trip in which the Golden Knights took home seven of eight points. For a second time in three weeks, the Wild pulled its goalie in overtime to add an extra attacker. The first time, on March 10, it worked against Nashville. On Saturday, the tactic failed and pretty much knocked the Wild out of playoff contention, because they didn't even get a point out of the OT loss. Jack Eichel received a game misconduct for spearing the Wild's Kirill Kaprizov in retaliation to a trip that wasn't called. Michael Amadio of VGK knotted the score at 1-1 with over 6-minutes remaining to force OT. We also talk about the current goaltending situation as Adin Hill could return to the lineup this week. And Tomas Hertl could see his first action in a Golden Knights uniform as well over the next 2-3 games. Plus, we talk about Bruce Cassidy making all the right moves.

Following Thursday's 4-1 on the road at Winnipeg, VGK head coach Bruce said the two teams have started to develop "mutual hatred" between each other. Some of that hatred might have spilled over when Keegan Kolesar took exception to hit on Michael Amadio by Logan Stanley, and those two had a fight just three minutes into the contest. The turning point of the game, however, was when a Nic Hague game misconduct was reduced from a major to a minor penalty on a hit on Vladislov Namestikov. It pretty much took the wind out of the sails of the Winnipeg Jets. VGK then scored three straight goals. They swept the season series vs the Jets for a second season in a row. We preview Saturday's VGK-Wild game and we have our WTF segment - What the Friday..

Even with the addition of Noah Hanifan and Anthony Mantha, we saw the same VGK result as the previous three games, a Golden Knights loss. Although it was the debut of the two players, VGK still got off to a slow start in falling to the Canucks 3-1 at T-Mobile Arena. The Golden Knights trailed 2-0 in the early stages of the game and never recovered. It was a night i which the Golden Knights could barely get through the neutral zone. Michael Amadio scored the only VGK goal. The Detroit Red Wings come into town on Saturday. VGK hoeps to also break a five-game losing skid against the Wings. Detroit is playing minus its leading scorer Dylan Larkin. And we have our WTF comments for the week.

The Golden Knights dropped their fourth straight home game Thursday night, falling to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 7-3. Toronto raced out to a 4-0 first period lead and chased starting VGK goalie Adin Hill. Bruce Cassidy said afterward that the team was soft on pucks and made several mistakes leading to Maple Leafs goals. Cassidy expects veterans and younger players to step up in the absence of Mark Stone, who suffered a spleen injury against nashville this week. William Karlsson, Jonathan Marchessault and Michael Amadio scored goals for the Golden Knights. VGK starts a 5-game road swing at Ottawa Saturday night. Cassidy is concerned teams are figuring out the VGK system. And, he feels the team is losing its identity.

Logan Thompson returned to net Monday after a 3 week period of inactivity. He posted a shutout over the hapless San Jose Sharks 4-0. Thompson missed at least one start during that period due to illness, but he came back sharp. VGK had an early Michael Amadio goal and coasted to victory to break a two-game losing streak. The Golden Knights also didn't give up any third period goals for the first time in three games. The Golden Knights also saw Mason Morelli score a goal in his first NHL game. VGK returns to home ice this evening against the Nashville Predators who are just two points out of a wild card spot. There are a lot of trade rumors and head coach Andrew Burnette has been critical of the team's effort at times. We also have locks and predictions.FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

The Golden Knights hurt themselves by not protecting the puck in last night's 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild. VGK let up two goals in a span of 1:01 to Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy in the third period, which put Minnesota up for good. VGK got out to a quick start when Jonathan Marchessault scored just :22 into the game on a fluky goal. The Golden Knights allowed Minnesota to go ahead in the first period, before Michael Amadio knotted the game at 2-2. Adin Hill was not at his best as he allowed four goals and two were not good goals. Alex Pietrangelo played his 1,000th career game. We debate whether he should be in the Hall of Fame. And, we discuss Bruce Cassidy ripping VGK for the poor performance.FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states. First online real money wager only.

Ivan Barbeshev scored twice for the Golden Knights in Thursday's 5-1 victory over the visiting New York Rangers. VGK got out to a quick start on goals by Jonathan Marchessault and Barbeshev in the first period. Logan Thompson stopped 29 shots in the win. VGK played the game minus another starter as Michael Amadio missed the game with an upper body injury. We also preview the Golden Knights-Penguins game Saturday. Former Golden Misfit Reilly Smith is on the injured list, but hopefully he is still traveling with his new team so he can receive a standing ovation from the partisan crowd. Smith was injured against Vancouver last week. The Penguins have been inconsistent this season. VGK shoots for its third straight win. It's also WTF - What The Friday with comments from fans.

Ivan Barbeshev scored twice for the Golden Knights in Thursday's 5-1 victory over the visiting New York Rangers. VGK got out to a quick start on goals by Jonathan Marchessault and Barbeshev in the first period. Logan Thompson stopped 29 shots in the win. VGK played the game minus another starter as Michael Amadio missed the game with an upper body injury. We also preview the Golden Knights-Penguins game Saturday. Former Golden Misfit Reilly Smith is on the injured list, but hopefully he is still traveling with his new team so he can receive a standing ovation from the partisan crowd. Smith was injured against Vancouver last week. The Penguins have been inconsistent this season. VGK shoots for its third straight win. It's also WTF - What The Friday with comments from fans.FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states. First online real money wager only.

The Golden Knights were shutout for the fifth time this season, losing 3-0 in Boston Wednesday night. VGK was expected to start Adin Hill in net after Logan Thompson became ill. But Hill suffered some sort of setback and was unable to be the starting goaltender. So Jiri Patera was called on to start and Isaiah Saville was called up from Henderson to serve as backup. To make matters worse, Michael Amadio had to be scratched due to illness so VGK went with the 11-7 structure in the game. The Avs scored twice on the power play, as special teams continue to be a weak spot with the club. Tonight, Bruce Cassidy faces his former team, the Boston Bruins, who also have injury concerns. Linus Ullman, the Vezina Trophy winner, was injured in Boston's OT loss in Phoenix two nights ago. They have also had numerous injuries and have used 17 line combinations this season. The Bruins lost to Colorado in a shootout and in Arizona in O.T. on this current road swing. We have our Locks and Predictions and much more. FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

The Golden Knights trailed 3-1 to the Blues in St. Louis Wednesday night before going on a four goal scoring spree started by Jack Eichel's "fadeaway jumper." That opened the floodgates. Then Marchessault, Kolesar and Michael Amadio finished it off. The Golden Knights are now 8-0-1 on Dad's Trips, as their fathers are on the road with them. Eichel has now scored a goal in four straight games. We also ask "Is Bruce Cassidy losing faith in Logan Thompson?" And VGK set a record in Wednesday's game with eight power play opportunities. It set a record for the most power plays for VGK. They had 18 shots on net during those opportunities and cashed in twice in the 6-3 romp over the Blues.FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

VGK lost in Colorado Monday night 3-2 in a physical preseason game. The Golden Knights started Logan Thompson for the first time in six months. L.T. gave up two goals on 12 shots. One was a turnaround wrister by Ryan Johansen on the power play. The other goal scored by Oskar Olausson off a Michael Amadio turnover. Thompson was replaced by Jiri Patera midway through the game. Patera gave up one goal off another turnover, this one by Nic Hague, who gave up the puck to Curtis McDermott of the Avalanche. We talk about highs and lows in last night's game for VGK. And, Zach Whitecloud was injured in the game. He will have an MRI today for an upper body injury. Whitecloud was on the shelf twice last season. He missed 21 games after his first injury, a lower body injury. FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states. First online real money wager only.

Amid the departure of Reilly Smith and Jonathan Marchessault moving to the top line, this will be the first time in seven seasons that William Karlsson will not be opening a campaign with his Misfit friends by his side. That could prompt VGK and Bruce Cassidy to move Karlsson to a newly formed third line with Paul Cotter and Michael Amadio for starters or other players could move onto that line. It appears that the Stephenson-Stone-Howden line could be line two heading into the season. But there is definitely concern about the third line and how it will look this upcoming season. We also talked about the new Vegas 34 TV channel and we continue to follow the Stanley Cup.FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states. First online real money wager only.

Nola fanned 10 and had faced the minimum through six as he tried to pitch the Phillies’ first no-hitter since 2015. Nola allowed a two-out home run to Nick Maton in the seventh inning. There have been no no-hitters in the majors this season, the first since Major League Baseball introduced a pitch clock. There were a record nine in 2021 and four last year. Padres 5, Cubs 0 – Sánchez’s homer, Snell’s strong effort carry Padres to 5-0 win over Cubs Gary Sánchez hit a two-run home run and Blake Snell and three relievers combined on a four-hitter for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Chicago Cubs 5-0 to salvage a split of a four-game series. Manny Machado had three hits, scored twice and made a sensational play at third base in his fourth game back from a stint on the injured list with a fractured left hand.

When facing a deficit of at least 12 points this postseason, the Heat are 7-6. The rest of the NBA is 6-59. Combined. The latest comeback came in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night against Denver when the Heat won 111-108 to even the title series. Miami rallied from 15 points down. NBA – NBA says it won’t mind if Wembanyama’s debut comes in Sacramento, not Las Vegas Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set. He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs almost certainly will make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22. And if that means the French teenager’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. NFL – Colts confirm NFL investigating player for possible gambling The Indianapolis Colts say they are aware the NFL has opened a gambling investigation into one of the team’s players. A team spokesman also says the team will have no additional comment. The player has not been publicly identified. The confirmation comes after reports first leaked Monday and less than two months after the NFL suspended five players — including four from the Detroit Lions — for gambling policy violations. The Colts are holding workouts this week at the team facility. NFL – Colts add Perriman in hopes of strengthening receiving group The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent Breshad Perriman in hopes he can strengthen their team’s receiving contingent. Perriman was a first-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015, No. 26 overall, but did not play as a rookie. He became a free agent in 2019 and has been with three teams over the past five seasons, including two stints with Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old Perriman has 145 receptions, 2,343 yards and 16 touchdown receptions in 80 games. Last season with Tampa Bay, he caught nine passes for 110 yards and one TD. NFL – Biden says Chiefs ‘building a dynasty’ as he hosts Super Bowl champs at White House President Joe Biden says the Kansas City Chiefs are “building a dynasty” as he hosts the team at the White House to mark their Super Bowl victory in February. Speaking on the South Lawn, Biden praised the team for playing with “the real joy of the game and love for each other and the great city you represent.” He also praised the team for their charitable work off the field, saying, “as these guys know about football, they know about life and how to use their platform to make a difference.” NCAAFB – Coroner rules natural causes in heart-ailment death of UNLV football player Authorities in Las Vegas say the death of a 20-year-old UNLV football player who was found unresponsive in his studio apartment in February was caused by a heart ailment. The Clark County coroner said Monday that an autopsy found Ryan Keeler had a disease that causes thickening of the heart muscle. He died Feb. 20 of a fatal irregular heartbeat, and the coroner ruled his death natural. Las Vegas police say their inquiry in the case was closed. UNLV head coach Barry Odom had called Keeler a standout student and athlete. He was from Chicago and arrived at UNLV by transfer from Rutgers University. IndyCar – Detroit Grand Prix to make track improvements for 2nd year downtown The Detroit Grand Prix’s short, narrow and bumpy track took some shots a day before the race returned to streets downtown. Race chairman said any potential damage was recovered by an exciting race on Sunday. Alex Palou won the race with a dominant performance, a day after saying the 1.7-mile circuit was too tight and too short for IndyCar. While the Spaniard did say the race went smoother than expected, he did suggest it can be improved for 2024. Denker agreed, but added the track can’t be made longer as Palou suggested. Soccer – Players demand change for rampant online racist abuse, turn to AI for help Online racist abuse of soccer players is prolific on social media platforms. It’s the latest form of racism blighting the world’s most popular sport. It’s technology-fueled, visual, permanently intrusive, 24/7 and a haunting reminder of the 1980s-style monkey chants and banana throwing. Players and teams targeted by abuse are coming up with ways to raise awareness and reduce their exposure to offensive users. It includes using companies who configure AI software to act as a filter to stop discriminatory comments from being seen. Some are choosing alternative platforms to promote not just themselves but more ethical behavior online. There’s also legislation in the works in the European Union and Britain to force big tech companies to act tougher on racism. Tennis – French Open – Coco Gauff vs. Iga Swiatek; it’ll happen in the quarterfinals Coco Gauff put aside a skinned knee and a bad stretch in the first set to reach the French Open quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. The 19-year-old American was a 7-5, 6-2 winner over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova on Monday at Court Philippe Chatrier. Next for Gauff will be a rematch against No. 1 Iga Swiatek, who beat her in last year’s final at Roland Garros. Swiatek advanced when her fourth-round opponent, Lesia Tsurenko, stopped playing because of trouble breathing in the first set. Also advancing to the quarterfinals were Ons Jabeur, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Casper Ruud, Holger Rune, Alexander Zverev and Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

When facing a deficit of at least 12 points this postseason, the Heat are 7-6. The rest of the NBA is 6-59. Combined. The latest comeback came in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night against Denver when the Heat won 111-108 to even the title series. Miami rallied from 15 points down. NBA – NBA says it won’t mind if Wembanyama’s debut comes in Sacramento, not Las Vegas Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set. He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs almost certainly will make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22. And if that means the French teenager’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs.

The Colts are holding workouts this week at the team facility.

Soccer – Players demand change for rampant online racist abuse, turn to AI for help Online racist abuse of soccer players is prolific on social media platforms. It’s the latest form of racism blighting the world’s most popular sport. It’s technology-fueled, visual, permanently intrusive, 24/7 and a haunting reminder of the 1980s-style monkey chants and banana throwing. Players and teams targeted by abuse are coming up with ways to raise awareness and reduce their exposure to offensive users. It includes using companies who configure AI software to act as a filter to stop discriminatory comments from being seen. Some are choosing alternative platforms to promote not just themselves but more ethical behavior online. There’s also legislation in the works in the European Union and Britain to force big tech companies to act tougher on racism.

Nola fanned 10 and had faced the minimum through six as he tried to pitch the Phillies’ first no-hitter since 2015. Nola allowed a two-out home run to Nick Maton in the seventh inning. There have been no no-hitters in the majors this season, the first since Major League Baseball introduced a pitch clock. There were a record nine in 2021 and four last year. Padres 5, Cubs 0 – Sánchez’s homer, Snell’s strong effort carry Padres to 5-0 win over Cubs Gary Sánchez hit a two-run home run and Blake Snell and three relievers combined on a four-hitter for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Chicago Cubs 5-0 to salvage a split of a four-game series. Manny Machado had three hits, scored twice and made a sensational play at third base in his fourth game back from a stint on the injured list with a fractured left hand. Sánchez hit his third homer in seven games with the Padres when he lined a 2-2 pitch from Kyle Hendricks into the left field seats with one out in the second. Machado was aboard on a leadoff single.

Thursday Vegas Golden Knights at Florida Panthers, 8:00 p.m.                          (VGK leads 2-0) NBA – 2023 NBA Finals – (best of seven) Tonight Denver Nuggets at Miami Heat, 8:00 p.m.                                           (Series tied 1-1) NBA – Miami Heat are on a comeback run like few others in this year’s NBA playoffs The easiest way to explain what the Miami Heat are doing in the comeback department during these playoffs is simply to put up their numbers against the rest of the league. When facing a deficit of at least 12 points this postseason, the Heat are 7-6. The rest of the NBA is 6-59. Combined. The latest comeback came in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night against Denver when the Heat won 111-108 to even the title series. Miami rallied from 15 points down. NBA – NBA says it won’t mind if Wembanyama’s debut comes in Sacramento, not Las Vegas Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set. He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs almost certainly will make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22. And if that means the French teenager’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. NFL – Colts confirm NFL investigating player for possible gambling The Indianapolis Colts say they are aware the NFL has opened a gambling investigation into one of the team’s players. A team spokesman also says the team will have no additional comment. The player has not been publicly identified. The confirmation comes after reports first leaked Monday and less than two months after the NFL suspended five players — including four from the Detroit Lions — for gambling policy violations. The Colts are holding workouts this week at the team facility. NFL – Colts add Perriman in hopes of strengthening receiving group The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent Breshad Perriman in hopes he can strengthen their team’s receiving contingent. Perriman was a first-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015, No. 26 overall, but did not play as a rookie. He became a free agent in 2019 and has been with three teams over the past five seasons, including two stints with Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old Perriman has 145 receptions, 2,343 yards and 16 touchdown receptions in 80 games. Last season with Tampa Bay, he caught nine passes for 110 yards and one TD. NFL – Biden says Chiefs ‘building a dynasty’ as he hosts Super Bowl champs at White House President Joe Biden says the Kansas City Chiefs are “building a dynasty” as he hosts the team at the White House to mark their Super Bowl victory in February. Speaking on the South Lawn, Biden praised the team for playing with “the real joy of the game and love for each other and the great city you represent.” He also praised the team for their charitable work off the field, saying, “as these guys know about football, they know about life and how to use their platform to make a difference.” NCAAFB – Coroner rules natural causes in heart-ailment death of UNLV football player Authorities in Las Vegas say the death of a 20-year-old UNLV football player who was found unresponsive in his studio apartment in February was caused by a heart ailment. The Clark County coroner said Monday that an autopsy found Ryan Keeler had a disease that causes thickening of the heart muscle. He died Feb. 20 of a fatal irregular heartbeat, and the coroner ruled his death natural. Las Vegas police say their inquiry in the case was closed. UNLV head coach Barry Odom had called Keeler a standout student and athlete. He was from Chicago and arrived at UNLV by transfer from Rutgers University. IndyCar – Detroit Grand Prix to make track improvements for 2nd year downtown The Detroit Grand Prix’s short, narrow and bumpy track took some shots a day before the race returned to streets downtown. Race chairman said any potential damage was recovered by an exciting race on Sunday. Alex Palou won the race with a dominant performance, a day after saying the 1.7-mile circuit was too tight and too short for IndyCar. While the Spaniard did say the race went smoother than expected, he did suggest it can be improved for 2024. Denker agreed, but added the track can’t be made longer as Palou suggested. Soccer – Players demand change for rampant online racist abuse, turn to AI for help Online racist abuse of soccer players is prolific on social media platforms. It’s the latest form of racism blighting the world’s most popular sport. It’s technology-fueled, visual, permanently intrusive, 24/7 and a haunting reminder of the 1980s-style monkey chants and banana throwing. Players and teams targeted by abuse are coming up with ways to raise awareness and reduce their exposure to offensive users. It includes using companies who configure AI software to act as a filter to stop discriminatory comments from being seen. Some are choosing alternative platforms to promote not just themselves but more ethical behavior online. There’s also legislation in the works in the European Union and Britain to force big tech companies to act tougher on racism. Tennis – French Open – Coco Gauff vs. Iga Swiatek; it’ll happen in the quarterfinals Coco Gauff put aside a skinned knee and a bad stretch in the first set to reach the French Open quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. The 19-year-old American was a 7-5, 6-2 winner over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova on Monday at Court Philippe Chatrier. Next for Gauff will be a rematch against No. 1 Iga Swiatek, who beat her in last year’s final at Roland Garros. Swiatek advanced when her fourth-round opponent, Lesia Tsurenko, stopped playing because of trouble breathing in the first set. Also advancing to the quarterfinals were Ons Jabeur, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Casper Ruud, Holger Rune, Alexander Zverev and Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

Eovaldi allowed four hits and a season-high three walks in five innings with four strikeouts. He is 6-0 with a 1.38 ERA in his last eight starts. Brock Burke, Jonathan Hernández and José Leclerc finished a five-hitter, the Rangers’ fifth shutout this year. Matthew Boyd gave up five runs on five hits and four walks in six-plus innings. Detroit had been trying to reach .500 for the first time since a 4-4 start in 2022. Angels 6, White Sox 4 – Drury, Angels spoil Hendriks’ return with 6-4 victory over White Sox Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss homered during a fast start for the Los Angeles Angels, who spoiled Liam Hendriks’ return for the Chicago White Sox with a 6-4 victory. Drury hit a three-run shot and Thaiss followed with another drive during a four-run first inning against a shaky Michael Kopech. Hendriks pitched the eighth in his first big league appearance since he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The crowd of 23,599 roared when he walked out to the bullpen after the fourth, and then saluted the All-Star closer with a standing ovation when he entered the game. Cubs 1, Rays 0 – Stroman pitches 1-hitter as Cubs beat major league-leading Rays 1-0 Marcus Stroman pitched a one-hitter, and the Chicago Cubs beat the major league-leading Tampa Bay Rays 1-0. Stroman simply dazzled, delivering his fourth complete game and second shutout in nine seasons. His only other one was against the Cubs during his 2014 rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays. He set a season high with 105 pitches and matched one with eight strikeouts. The right-hander walked one in winning his third straight start and helping the Cubs bounce back from a weekend sweep by the Cincinnati Reds. The only hit Stroman allowed was when Wander Franco delivered a clean single to left leading off the seventh. He then walked Brandon Lowe, but got out of that jam by getting Randy Arozarena to fly out and Josh Lowe to ground into a double play.

NBA – 76ers hire former Raptors coach Nick Nurse, AP source says A person with knowledge of the decision says the Philadelphia 76ers have hired coach Nick Nurse weeks after he was fired by the Toronto Raptors. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the move. Nurse led the Raptors to the 2019 NBA championship after they beat the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

NASCAR – Blaney wins Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte to end winless drought Ryan Blaney pulled away late to win the rescheduled Coca-Cola 600 on Monday at Charlotte Speedway, giving team owner Roger Penske a sweep of the Memorial Day weekend’s top races in the United States. Josef Newgarden won a record-extending 19th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday for Team Penske. It marked the first time Team Penske has earned a sweep of the two races in the same year. Like Newgarden, Blaney went into the crowd to celebrate with fans. Blaney took the lead from William Byron on a restart and led the final 26 laps to win his first Cup Series race since the 2021 Daytona’s Coke Zero Sugar 400. Blaney’s victory snapped a 59-race drought. Indy 500 – Column: Indy 500’s ending creates controversy and conspiracies It’s called “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” because the Indianapolis 500 is supposed to be one of the most dramatic and difficult races in the world. Sure, it’s an automobile race. But it’s also very much entertainment, even if Marcus Ericsson vehemently disagrees. The controversial ending to the 107th running of the Indy 500 gave Josef Newgarden the win. Newgarden drives for Roger Penske, who owns the race and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So when IndyCar went to an unprecedented one-lap shootout that allowed Newgarden to win the race, well, Ericsson was furious and conspiracy theorists went wild. Indy 500 – IndyCar sure to investigate wheel that flew over stands from Indy 500 wreck IndyCar owner Roger Penske says he is sure series officials will investigate what led to a wheel coming loose during a crash in the Indianapolis 500. The wheel from Kyle Kirkwood’s damaged car ended up sailing over the catch fence and grandstands before landing on a parked automobile. Nobody was hurt. The wheels are supposed to have tethers that keep them attached in the event of a crash, but it appeared that the tether came loose or was ripped apart. Penske said “we were very fortunate we didn’t have a bad accident.” Kirkwood and fellow driver Felix Rosenqvist were uninjured in the crash.   The car that was hit by the tire had to be towed and the driver was given a ride home after the race. NCAAMLAC – Notre Dame wins first men’s lacrosse national title in program history Liam Entenmann made a season-high 18 saves and Brian Tevlin scored a go-ahead goal with 27 seconds left in the third quarter to help Notre Dame claim its first men’s lacrosse national title with a 13-9 victory over Duke. Third-seeded Notre Dame (14-2) had lost in its previous two championship game appearances in 2010 and 2014 — both to Duke. The top-seeded Blue Devils (16-3) were playing in their seventh national championship game in program history. Entenmann made eight saves on nine shots in the first half as Notre Dame cruised to a 6-1 lead after scoring six unanswered goals — from six different players.

WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Chicago Sky at Atlanta Dream, 7:00 p.m. Indiana Fever at Connecticut Sun, 7:00 p.m. Tennis – Alcaraz, Djokovic wins French Open debuts Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic both picked up straight-set victories in the first round of the French Open against opponents ranked outside the Top 100 and making their Grand Slam debuts. Alcaraz is seeded No. 1, Djokovic is No. 3 and most everyone expects them to face each other in the semifinals. Alcaraz beat Flavio Cobolli on Monday. Djokovic defeated Aleksandar Kovacevic. With 14-time champion Rafael Nadal sidelined by injury and missing the clay-court major tournament, Alcaraz and Djokovic are popular picks to emerge as the men’s champion. NASCAR – Blaney wins Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte to end winless drought Ryan Blaney pulled away late to win the rescheduled Coca-Cola 600 on Monday at Charlotte Speedway, giving team owner Roger Penske a sweep of the Memorial Day weekend’s top races in the United States. Josef Newgarden won a record-extending 19th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday for Team Penske. It marked the first time Team Penske has earned a sweep of the two races in the same year. Like Newgarden, Blaney went into the crowd to celebrate with fans. Blaney took the lead from William Byron on a restart and led the final 26 laps to win his first Cup Series race since the 2021 Daytona’s Coke Zero Sugar 400. Blaney’s victory snapped a 59-race drought. Indy 500 – Column: Indy 500’s ending creates controversy and conspiracies It’s called “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” because the Indianapolis 500 is supposed to be one of the most dramatic and difficult races in the world. Sure, it’s an automobile race. But it’s also very much entertainment, even if Marcus Ericsson vehemently disagrees. The controversial ending to the 107th running of the Indy 500 gave Josef Newgarden the win. Newgarden drives for Roger Penske, who owns the race and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So when IndyCar went to an unprecedented one-lap shootout that allowed Newgarden to win the race, well, Ericsson was furious and conspiracy theorists went wild. Indy 500 – IndyCar sure to investigate wheel that flew over stands from Indy 500 wreck IndyCar owner Roger Penske says he is sure series officials will investigate what led to a wheel coming loose during a crash in the Indianapolis 500. The wheel from Kyle Kirkwood’s damaged car ended up sailing over the catch fence and grandstands before landing on a parked automobile. Nobody was hurt. The wheels are supposed to have tethers that keep them attached in the event of a crash, but it appeared that the tether came loose or was ripped apart. Penske said “we were very fortunate we didn’t have a bad accident.” Kirkwood and fellow driver Felix Rosenqvist were uninjured in the crash.   The car that was hit by the tire had to be towed and the driver was given a ride home after the race. NCAAMLAC – Notre Dame wins first men’s lacrosse national title in program history Liam Entenmann made a season-high 18 saves and Brian Tevlin scored a go-ahead goal with 27 seconds left in the third quarter to help Notre Dame claim its first men’s lacrosse national title with a 13-9 victory over Duke. Third-seeded Notre Dame (14-2) had lost in its previous two championship game appearances in 2010 and 2014 — both to Duke. The top-seeded Blue Devils (16-3) were playing in their seventh national championship game in program history. Entenmann made eight saves on nine shots in the first half as Notre Dame cruised to a 6-1 lead after scoring six unanswered goals — from six different players. Notre Dame scored two goals in the final 30 seconds of the third for a 9-7 lead and Quinn McCahon capped a 6-1 scoring run.

Eovaldi allowed four hits and a season-high three walks in five innings with four strikeouts. He is 6-0 with a 1.38 ERA in his last eight starts. Brock Burke, Jonathan Hernández and José Leclerc finished a five-hitter, the Rangers’ fifth shutout this year. Matthew Boyd gave up five runs on five hits and four walks in six-plus innings.

Angels 6, White Sox 4 – Drury, Angels spoil Hendriks’ return with 6-4 victory over White Sox Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss homered during a fast start for the Los Angeles Angels, who spoiled Liam Hendriks’ return for the Chicago White Sox with a 6-4 victory. Drury hit a three-run shot and Thaiss followed with another drive during a four-run first inning against a shaky Michael Kopech. Hendriks pitched the eighth in his first big league appearance since he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The crowd of 23,599 roared when he walked out to the bullpen after the fourth, and then saluted the All-Star closer with a standing ovation when he entered the game. Cubs 1, Rays 0 – Stroman pitches 1-hitter as Cubs beat major league-leading Rays 1-0 Marcus Stroman pitched a one-hitter, and the Chicago Cubs beat the major league-leading Tampa Bay Rays 1-0. Stroman simply dazzled, delivering his fourth complete game and second shutout in nine seasons. His only other one was against the Cubs during his 2014 rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays. He set a season high with 105 pitches and matched one with eight strikeouts. The right-hander walked one in winning his third straight start and helping the Cubs bounce back from a weekend sweep by the Cincinnati Reds. The only hit Stroman allowed was when Wander Franco delivered a clean single to left leading off the seventh. He then walked Brandon Lowe, but got out of that jam by getting Randy Arozarena to fly out and Josh Lowe to ground into a double play.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Texas Rangers 5, Detroit Tigers 0 Los Angeles Angels 6, Chicago White Sox 4 Chicago Cubs 1, Tampa Bay Rays 0 Rangers 5, Tigers 0 – Eovaldi wins 6th straight decision, Seager has 4 RBIs, Rangers beat Tigers 5-0 Nathan Eovaldi won his sixth straight decision, Corey Seager hit a three-run homer with four RBIs and the Texas Rangers defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-0. Eovaldi allowed four hits and a season-high three walks in five innings with four strikeouts. He is 6-0 with a 1.38 ERA in his last eight starts. Brock Burke, Jonathan Hernández and José Leclerc finished a five-hitter, the Rangers’ fifth shutout this year. Matthew Boyd gave up five runs on five hits and four walks in six-plus innings. Detroit had been trying to reach .500 for the first time since a 4-4 start in 2022. Angels 6, White Sox 4 – Drury, Angels spoil Hendriks’ return with 6-4 victory over White Sox Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss homered during a fast start for the Los Angeles Angels, who spoiled Liam Hendriks’ return for the Chicago White Sox with a 6-4 victory. Drury hit a three-run shot and Thaiss followed with another drive during a four-run first inning against a shaky Michael Kopech. Hendriks pitched the eighth in his first big league appearance since he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The crowd of 23,599 roared when he walked out to the bullpen after the fourth, and then saluted the All-Star closer with a standing ovation when he entered the game. Cubs 1, Rays 0 – Stroman pitches 1-hitter as Cubs beat major league-leading Rays 1-0 Marcus Stroman pitched a one-hitter, and the Chicago Cubs beat the major league-leading Tampa Bay Rays 1-0. Stroman simply dazzled, delivering his fourth complete game and second shutout in nine seasons. His only other one was against the Cubs during his 2014 rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays. He set a season high with 105 pitches and matched one with eight strikeouts. The right-hander walked one in winning his third straight start and helping the Cubs bounce back from a weekend sweep by the Cincinnati Reds. The only hit Stroman allowed was when Wander Franco delivered a clean single to left leading off the seventh. He then walked Brandon Lowe, but got out of that jam by getting Randy Arozarena to fly out and Josh Lowe to ground into a double play.

NBA – 76ers hire former Raptors coach Nick Nurse, AP source says A person with knowledge of the decision says the Philadelphia 76ers have hired coach Nick Nurse weeks after he was fired by the Toronto Raptors. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the move. Nurse led the Raptors to the 2019 NBA championship after they beat the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Nurse will replace Doc Rivers, who was fired after he led the 76ers to their second straight 50-win season behind NBA MVP Joel Embiid but again failed to lead them to the Eastern Conference finals.

With 14-time champion Rafael Nadal sidelined by injury and missing the clay-court major tournament, Alcaraz and Djokovic are popular picks to emerge as the men’s champion. NASCAR – Blaney wins Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte to end winless drought Ryan Blaney pulled away late to win the rescheduled Coca-Cola 600 on Monday at Charlotte Speedway, giving team owner Roger Penske a sweep of the Memorial Day weekend’s top races in the United States. Josef Newgarden won a record-extending 19th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday for Team Penske. It marked the first time Team Penske has earned a sweep of the two races in the same year. Like Newgarden, Blaney went into the crowd to celebrate with fans. Blaney took the lead from William Byron on a restart and led the final 26 laps to win his first Cup Series race since the 2021 Daytona’s Coke Zero Sugar 400. Blaney’s victory snapped a 59-race drought. Indy 500 – Column: Indy 500’s ending creates controversy and conspiracies It’s called “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” because the Indianapolis 500 is supposed to be one of the most dramatic and difficult races in the world. Sure, it’s an automobile race. But it’s also very much entertainment, even if Marcus Ericsson vehemently disagrees. The controversial ending to the 107th running of the Indy 500 gave Josef Newgarden the win. Newgarden drives for Roger Penske, who owns the race and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So when IndyCar went to an unprecedented one-lap shootout that allowed Newgarden to win the race, well, Ericsson was furious and conspiracy theorists went wild. Indy 500 – IndyCar sure to investigate wheel that flew over stands from Indy 500 wreck IndyCar owner Roger Penske says he is sure series officials will investigate what led to a wheel coming loose during a crash in the Indianapolis 500. The wheel from Kyle Kirkwood’s damaged car ended up sailing over the catch fence and grandstands before landing on a parked automobile. Nobody was hurt. The wheels are supposed to have tethers that keep them attached in the event of a crash, but it appeared that the tether came loose or was ripped apart. Penske said “we were very fortunate we didn’t have a bad accident.” Kirkwood and fellow driver Felix Rosenqvist were uninjured in the crash.   The car that was hit by the tire had to be towed and the driver was given a ride home after the race. NCAAMLAC – Notre Dame wins first men’s lacrosse national title in program history Liam Entenmann made a season-high 18 saves and Brian Tevlin scored a go-ahead goal with 27 seconds left in the third quarter to help Notre Dame claim its first men’s lacrosse national title with a 13-9 victory over Duke. Third-seeded Notre Dame (14-2) had lost in its previous two championship game appearances in 2010 and 2014 — both to Duke. The top-seeded Blue Devils (16-3) were playing in their seventh national championship game in program history. Entenmann made eight saves on nine shots in the first half as Notre Dame cruised to a 6-1 lead after scoring six unanswered goals — from six different players.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 6, New York Mets 5 – Game 1 Detroit Tigers 8, New York Mets 1 – Game 2 Washington Nationals 2, Chicago Cubs 1 Chicago White Sox 6, Minnesota Twins 4 Tigers 6, Mets 5 / Tigers 8, Mets 1 – Haase 2 HRs in twinbill, knocks in 6 as Tigers sweep Mets Eric Haase homered in both games of a doubleheader, driving in six runs, and the Detroit Tigers tagged Max Scherzer in his return from a suspension to sweep the New York Mets with an 8-1 victory. Haase had five RBIs in the first game, including a go-ahead single in the eighth inning of a 6-5 comeback win, and then added one of Detroit’s two homers off Scherzer in the nightcap. The slumping Mets have lost eight of 10. They were playing their second consecutive doubleheader in three days after getting rained out three times since Saturday. New York had gone 25 doubleheaders without getting swept, since Washington took both games from the visiting Mets on Sept. 26, 2020. That was the second-longest such streak of the expansion era. Nationals 2, Cubs 1 – Abrams, Nats squeeze past Cubs for 2nd straight night, 2-1 CJ Abrams had a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning for the second consecutive game, and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on a damp and unseasonably chilly Wednesday night. After Marcus Stroman pitched six crisp innings for the Cubs, the Nationals went ahead on four pitches by Adbert Alzolay. Lane Thomas tripled down the left-field line, the first extra-base hit of the game, and Abrams lined the next pitch to center. Jake Irvin held the Cubs to two hits over 4 1/3 innings in his major league debut, and five Nationals pitchers limited Chicago to six singles. White Sox 6, Twins 4 – Keynan Middleton, Eloy Jiménez help White Sox beat Twins 6-4 Eloy Jiménez hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4 for their third straight victory. Luis Robert Jr. homered as Chicago secured its first series win of the season. Tim Anderson and Yasmani Grandal each had three hits and Keynan Middleton worked the ninth for his first save of the season. The White Sox will try for a three-game series sweep on Thursday afternoon. They dropped 10 in a row before their win streak. Carlos Correa had two RBIs for Minnesota, and Nick Gordon homered for the second straight day. Today Chicago Cubs (Taillon 0-2) at Washington (Corbin 1-4), 1:05 p.m. N.Y.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Brady Skeji and Jesper Fast added scores for the Hurricanes. Carolina allowed just one shot on goal in the opening period. Frederik Andersen finished with 18 saves for Carolina. Nathan Bastian scored the Devils’ lone goal. Devils netminder Akira Schmid lasted just a few minutes into the second period after giving up three goals for New Jersey.

In addition to Barbashev, the Knights also received goals from Chandler Stephenson, Michael Amadio, Mark Stone and Jack Eichel. Eichel and Stone also each had an assist. Zach Whitecloud had two assists. Evan Bouchard, Mattias Ekholm, Zach Lyman and Connor McDavid each had two assists for the Oilers.

Malcolm Brogdon added 23 points, connecting on six of Boston’s 20 3-pointers. Derrick White and Marcus Smart added 15 points apiece. Jayson Tatum played most of the game in foul trouble and was held to seven points.

Tonight Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors, 9:00 p.m.            (LAL leads 1-0) NFL – Rodgers bonding with Jets teammates in Big Apple spotlight Aaron Rodgers was sitting alone in the dark two months ago and pondering his future while many speculated about his next move. Now, the New York Jets quarterback is the toast of his new town, bonding with the Big Apple and his excited teammates. The four-time NFL MVP has been participating in voluntary practices this week. Rodgers has also been to Madison Square Garden three times since joining the Jets while taking in a Rangers playoff game and two Knicks games. The four-time NFL MVP was formally introduced by New York last Wednesday after acquiring him from Green Bay. NFL – Patrick Mahomes’ brother Jackson charged with sexual battery Jackson Mahomes, the brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was briefly jailed on aggravated sexual battery charges over an alleged altercation at a restaurant in late February. Online court records show that 22-year-old Jackson Mahomes was charged Tuesday with three counts of aggravated sexual battery and one count of battery. He was released on Wednesday after posting $100,000 bond. During a brief virtual court appearance, a judge set another court date for May 11. His lawyer said in a statement that the court prohibited him and his client from commenting. The investigation stems from accusations against Jackson Mahomes regarding an alleged Feb. 25 incident at a restaurant in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas. WNBA – Griner back to work on and off court after whirlwind trips Brittney Griner balanced the start of the Phoenix Mercury’s training camp with consecutive trips to the East Coast. The WNBA star attended the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, returned to the Arizona desert for basketball practice, then went to New York for the Met Gala. The added exposure Griner has gotten since being detained for nearly 10 months in Russia has given her a larger platform for activism. Griner will continue to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and has teamed with an organization to help bring home Americans still being detained abroad. Horse Racing – Churchill Downs investigates 4 horse deaths ahead of Derby The death of four horses at Churchill Downs has overshadowed preparations for the Kentucky Derby. Two horses trained by Saffie Joseph Jr. collapsed on the track and died over the past week. Two others also died as either a result of racing or training, including Derby entrant Wild On Ice. Joseph is set to saddle Lord Miles in the first jewel of the Triple Crown on Saturday. But he has said he’s unsure of plans after the two deaths from his barn. Churchill Downs, in a statement, expressed concern over the deaths and said officials would press for answers.
