The second round of the 2025 NHL playoffs provided another night of entertaining hockey as the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights took another step toward the conference finals. The Hurricanes blanked the Washington Capitals in Game 3, and the Golden Knights needed last-second heroics from Reilly Smith.

In Raleigh, Frederik Andersen slammed the door shut on the Capitals’ offense for 60 minutes. Andersen stopped all 21 shots he faced for a 4-0 shutout win. He was excellent, and Carolina’s offense got contributions from up and down the lineup.

Andrei Svechnikov got the scoring started with a beautiful individual effort in the second period, and Jack Roslovic recorded two points in the win. On the Washington side, Logan Thompson struggled in net, allowing four goals on just 28 shots against. He’ll need a bounce back in Game 4 to even the series at two games apiece.

On the other side of the continent, in Edmonton, the Golden Knights and Oilers looked like they were destined for overtime when Connor McDavid tied the score at 3 with just over three minutes left. Smith had other ideas.

With the clock was winding down in regulation, Smith picked up a loose puck in the high slot and made a brilliant play. He pump-faked a pair of Oilers, patiently walked around Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner and banked home the winning goal off Leon Draisaitl’s stick with 0.4 seconds left.

Sunday’s slate of games has a tough act to follow, but the matchups are primed for more fireworks. First, the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars will play a pivotal Game 3, and then the Toronto Maple Leafs will try to push the Florida Panthers to the brink of elimination.

Há nove jogos sem vencer, Vasco passa longe do ‘Dinizismo’ em derrota para o Lanús; leia análise

Apesar da euforia natural pela estreia de um técnico com o quilate de Fernando Diniz, a derrota do Vasco por 1 a 0 para o Lanús, ontem, na Argentina, pela Sul-Americana, indicou que vai demorar até o time absorver as características do treinador. Com apenas uma sessão de treinamento sob o comando de Diniz antes da partida, o cruz-maltino não conseguiu apresentar praticamente nada do estilo de jogo do comandante, como a tradicional saída de bola desde o campo defensivo — salvo raras exceções no primeiro tempo — e a tentativa de ter superioridade numérica em um setor específico do campo. Com mais uma derrota, o Vasco aumentou o jejum, agora de nove jogos sem vencer. No Grupo F da Sul-Americana, o cruz-maltino, com cinco pontos, em terceiro, só tem chances de avançar como segundo colocado, o que garantiria ida […]

‘The passion is so strong’ – Ferrari under pressure for Hamilton’s home debut

After a hugely disappointing start to the 2025 Formula 1 season for Ferrari, Sky Sport Italia's Vicky Piria assesses the mood among the tifosi ahead of the team's return home for this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.Following a strong finish to 2024 and the off-season arrival of Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes, Ferrari were expected to mount challenges for both the drivers' and constructors' titles. Instead, reigning constructors' champions McLaren have been in a league of their own, with Red Bull and Mercedes putting up far more fight than Ferrari over the opening six rounds of the season.Concerningly for Ferrari, their worst display yet came last time out in Miami, with Hamilton finishing in eighth a minute behind winner Oscar Piastri, and his team-mate Charles Leclerc just three seconds better off in seventh.It is then, perhaps, not the most ideal timing, […]

Paige Bueckers won’t save the Wings? Experts predict a brutal season for Dallas

The Dallas Wings are entering the 2025 WNBA season with high hopes. With Paige Bueckers-the first pick in last year's draft-joining the team, fans were optimistic about a turnaround. However, experts remain skeptical, especially after her debut performance.If last Friday's preseason matchup against the Las Vegas Aces was any indication of what's to come, head coach Chris Koclanes has a challenging season ahead. While the Wings displayed energy, entertainment, and flashes of brilliance, they were ultimately routed, 112-78.Rookies JJ Quinerly and Aziaha James had their moments, and Bueckers showed glimpses of her signature skill, shooting 4-7 from the field. However, it wasn't enough to avoid defeat. Analyst Rachel Annamarie DeMita didn't sugarcoat her assessment, saying, "It seems like the theme this year is... this team is not going to be good."script asycn type=text/javascript" src="https://embed.sendtonews.com/player3/embedcode.js?fk=LOWn835A">A tough road ahead for Bueckers and […]
