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.

Yankees’ Aaron Judge has 4 hits in blowout win over A’s, pushes batting average back above .400
Aaron Judge’s dominant start to the season continued on Sunday afternoon.The New York Yankees star pushed his batting average above .400 again while leading the team to a massive 12-2 win over the Athletics in Sacramento. Judge had four hits in the win, which matched his career-high — though that's something he's done 13 times in his career now. It also raised his batting average to .409 on the season. That’s the highest in the league by far, well above teammate Paul Goldschmidt’s second-best .349 average.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJudge now has the fourth-best batting average with at least 14 home runs through the first 40 games of the season in MLB history. Only Manny Ramirez, Jimmie Foxx and Mickey Mantle are ahead of him on that list.Judge’s first hit of the afternoon came in the second, when he hit a two-RBI single to […]
Thunder vs. Nuggets: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proves clutch bonafides by stepping up late in Game 4
Getty Images The burden of proof for clutch performance is absurdly demanding in the NBA. Unless your body of work is totally unimpeachable like, say, a LeBron James or Stephen Curry, a few bad games can undo years of reputational progress. Think of the week Jayson Tatum has had. He's a reigning NBA champion with a 51-point Game 7 and a 46-point road elimination game against arguably the best player in the world at the time, but two collapses against the Knicks and suddenly the knives are back out.Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't yet built up such a postseason resume, and that made his own late-game shortcomings this week much more glaring. Across the fourth quarters of Games 1 and 3 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets, Gilgeous-Alexander shot 5 of 15 from the field and dished out only a […]

Rafael Devers tunes out position switch drama, continues hot-hitting May with 2-run HR vs. Royals
While controversy swirls around what position Rafael Devers might play for the Boston Red Sox in the weeks to come, he's been doing what a designated hitter ideally does best.Devers' two-run home run in the sixth inning off Seth Lugo was the difference in Boston's 3-1 win over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday. With a 2-for-3 day at the plate, Devers finished off a three-game series during which he batted 7-for-12 (.583) and drove in six runs.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Red Sox DH also batted 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI on May 8, shortly after he told reporters that he would not move to first base in light of Triston Casas' season-ending knee injury. He went on to criticize the team's front office for its decision-making and how he's been dealt with since being asked to […]
