  • Kapanen’s 2nd goal of game with 1:54 remaining lifts Oilers over Ducks 4-3 in playoff opener

     

    EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) Kasperi Kapanen scored his second goal of the game with 1:54 left in the third period to give the Edmonton Oilers a 4-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks in the opener of their first-round playoff series Monday night.

    Jason Dickinson also scored twice for the Oilers, who trailed 3-2 entering the third after squandering a 2-0 lead.

    Oilers star Leon Draisaitl returned to the ice after missing the final 14 regular-season games with an injury. Draisaitl and Jake Walman each had two assists for Edmonton, while Connor McDavid was held without a point.

    McDavid and the Oilers are seeking their third consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final, having lost each of the last two seasons to the Florida Panthers, who missed the postseason this year.

    Troy Terry had two goals and an assist and Leo Carlsson also scored for the Ducks, who are in the playoffs for the first time since 2018.

    Connor Ingram made 25 saves, including a doozy in the waning seconds, to earn the win. Lukas Dostal stopped 30 shots for Anaheim.

    Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday in Edmonton.

    The Oilers started the scoring with 2:39 remaining in the first period as Walman made a long stretch pass to Dickinson, who undressed Dostal with a great move. Edmonton was 30-5-5 when scoring first this season.

    Edmonton scored again exactly a minute later as Kapanen took a feed from Draisaitl and then had two cracks at his own rebound to score his first of the playoffs.

    The Oilers outshot the Ducks 14-4 in the first period.

    Anaheim only needed 19 seconds into the middle frame to make it 2-1 as Terry scored on a huge rebound off Carlsson’s shot.

    The Ducks tied it 4:38 into the second period as Carlsson returned the favor by banging in a rebound of Terry’s shot.

    Anaheim had 26 comeback wins this season, tied for the NHL lead with Montreal. The Ducks won 17 games when trailing by a goal and nine when down by two.

    The Ducks took the lead on the power play with 5:31 left in the second as Terry, playing his first career playoff game, sent a shot through traffic for his second goal of the game.

    Edmonton tied it at 3 when Radko Gudas slipped and fell as a huge rebound on Mattias Ekholm’s shot came to Dickinson for his second goal of the game.

    The Oilers went ahead for good when Vasily Podkolzin made a great backhand pass from behind the net to set up Kapanen’s second of the game.

    WIN
    Now this series, I don’t think I’ll play any Under 6.5s. Two terrific offensive teams and not super-trustworthy goalies. It’s is the last one to open. Edmonton has certainly flipped a switch the past two postseasons in reaching back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals. And Leon Draisaitl is expected back from his injury, which is obviously huge. The Ducks are playoff newbies and I do think that matters, especially in a Game 1 away. Lukas Dostal (his playoff debut) had a 4.06 GAA in two regular-season meetings vs. Edmonton. Anaheim slumped big-time down the stretch. I’m simply incapable of playing -1.5 in the NHL postseason (if ever) so instead will up the wager.

    LOSS
    Anaheim ranked 29th in defense & 28th in high-danger chances against. Edmonton has the NHL’s top power play, is 8th in high-danger chances, and 6th in goals scored. Since the Ducks commit a lot of penalties, Edmonton should get frequent power plays against Anaheim’s 6th-worst PK unit. Edmonton also possesses a significant face-off advantage, scoring 4, 5, and 7 goals in their three meetings. On the road, Anaheim finished 19-20-2 with a -21 goal differential; 15 of those 20 regulation road losses were by 2 or more goals. The Oilers have averaged 3.9 goals per game at home over the past six seasons. The Ducks haven’t reached the postseason in eight years, and opening the playoffs in Edmonton seems like a tough spot.

  • Golden Knights rally past Mammoth 4-2 in Game 1 as Nic Dowd nets the winner

    LAS VEGAS (AP) Nic Dowd redirected Noah Hanifin shot from the point to put Vegas ahead at 7:20 of the third period and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Utah Mammoth 4-2 on Sunday night in Game 1 of their first-round series.

    “I didn’t do a lot, to be honest,” Dowd said. “It’s probably better if it gets on and off my stick that quick. … I just found a little bit of space. Everywhere across the league, there’s limited space out there. Guys are playing their best hockey defensively because everything matters that much more. It was a bang-bang play.”

    Game 2 is Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

    The Golden Knights, who twice trailed before scoring three third-period goals, have not lost in regulation since John Tortorella (8-0-1) took over as coach.

    The Mammoth lost in the franchise’s first playoff game since 2020. They are in their second season in Utah after leaving Arizona.

    “It was a hard-fought game,” Mammoth coach Andre Tourigny said. “It was physical. It was intense. Every inch was contested.”

    Colton Sissons had a goal and assist for the Golden Knights and Mark Stone and Ivan Barbashev also scored. Carter Hart stopped 32 shots. Hanifin had two assists.

    Logan Cooley and Kevin Stenlund scored for the Mammoth. Karel Vejmelka, playing in his first playoff game after five years in the Utah/Arizona organization, made 27 saves. Captain Clayton Keller, who closed the regular season with 16 assists over a 10-game streak, failed to record one in this game.

    The Golden Knights took the fight to the Mammoth from the beginning and finished with 52 hits to 29 for Utah. Vegas’ high in the regular season was 36 against Los Angeles in the Oct. 8 opener.

    Both teams breaking into several fights including one after the final buzzer.

    “We played physical,” Tortorella said. “We have some things to work on, but it was good to see us bang around a little bit. It’s a long series. You just keep on trying to do the things you think you need to grind away.”

    Former Golden Knight Nate Schmidt delivered a tremendous cross-ice pass to Cooley, whose one-timer from the right circle put the Mammoth on the scoreboard first with just 11 seconds left in the first period.

    Sissons scored the equalizer at 3:44 of the second period, jamming in the puck after a backhand pass from Cole Smith. Utah retook the lead not even two minutes later when Hart found himself out of position and Vegas defenseman Kaeden Korczak knocked the puck into his own net, though it was officially credited to Kevin Stenlund.

    “We didn’t really pay attantion to it,” Barbashev said. “Our guys did a really good job to get one back on the power play.”

    That happened when the Golden Knights again tied the game when Stone put a rebound into the open net for a power-play goal 5:33 of the third period. They then soon had the lead when Utah defenseman MacKenzie Weegar turned over the puck in his zone, and Dowd knocked in Hanifin’s shot.

    Barbashev closed the scoring with an empty-netter.

    Again, there might be a few NHL playoff games I will not play Under 6.5, but all I can say to you is play them frequently if offered. We shall lose a couple on 3-3 regulation, I’m sure, (why my CBS Sports parlays always punched to 7.5), but 2-0 Saturday Unders and they weren’t even close. You will come out ahead and the sportsbooks will stop offering U6.5s. Certainly can’t promise anything here but I’m surprised not 6. Books don’t like pushes, either, but you get my point. The Knights’ Carter Hart has a 1.66 GAA in April.

  • Wedgewood sharp in net, O’Connor scores 1st goal in a year as Avs beat Kings 2-1 in Game 1

    DENVER (AP) Logan O’Connor scored for the first time in a year, Scott Wedgewood stopped 24 shots in his first Stanley Cup playoffs start and the top-seeded Colorado Avalanche beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 in Game 1 on Sunday.

    O’Connor’s third-period tally was his first since Game 4 of a playoff series against Dallas on April 26. He missed most of this season with a hip injury. Artturi Lehkonen had a second-period goal for the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Avalanche.

    “Super happy to get it out of the way,” said O’Connor, who underwent hip surgery in early June. “For us, our game translates well to the playoffs. It’s a lot of simplicity and muck it up and just wear teams down. It was nice to get that one out of the way and finish the job off.”

    Wedgewood got the nod in net over Mackenzie Blackwood after leading the league in goals-against average and save percentage. Wedgewood made four career playoff appearances in relief before Sunday’s start.

    At 33 years, 248 days old, Wedgewood became the third-oldest goaltender in league history to pick up a win in his first career playoff start, according to NHL stats.

    “Obviously, a long career to get to this point,” Wedgwood cracked.

    Game 2 is Tuesday night in Denver.

    Artemi Panarin scored a power-play goal with 2:22 left to make it 2-1. Shortly after, forward Joel Armia was called for high-sticking and the Kings were unable to tie it up.

    “We were kind of coming there late and couldn’t get enough,” forward Scott Laughton said.

    Anton Forsberg stopped 28 shots in his NHL postseason debut.

    “We’re comfortable in low-scoring games,” Kings defenseman Mikey Anderson said. “We’ve got to try and keep it tight.”

    Nathan MacKinnon had an assist on Lehkonen’s goal to give him 32 career points in Game 1s. He trails only Joe Sakic (42) for the most Game-1 points in franchise history.

    The game got chippy in the third period, with Cale Makar taking a shove to the back by Adrian Kempe. Captain Gabriel Landeskog later stood up for Makar and got into it with Kempe. Both drew roughing calls.

    There were a combined 84 hits.

    “We know teams are going to want to push us out of games,” said O’Connor, whose team was 0 for 4 on the power play. “We feel as though we can push back just as hard. That’s one great thing about our group: the versatility within our locker room. You want to go a 1-0 game? We like to think we can beat you at that. Track meet, if it happens? We’ve got that. Physicality, we have guys who are willing to step up.”

    Colorado nearly scored earlier in the second when O’Connor sent a shot past Forsberg. But as the goal horn sounded, the officials signaled no goal. It was ruled Jack Drury made contact with Forsberg following a collision with Drew Doughty. The Avalanche challenged but the call stood.

    “I’d like to see it count,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “They saw it different – not losing any sleep over it.”

  • Gilgeous-Alexander scores 25 as reigning champion Thunder open playoffs with 119-84 win over Suns

    OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 25 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder began their title defense with a 119-84 rout of the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series on Sunday.

    The reigning league MVP made just 5 of 18 field goals but went 15 of 17 at the foul line before sitting out the fourth quarter.

    Jalen Williams scored 22 points and Chet Holmgren added 16 for the top-seeded Thunder, who will host Game 2 on Wednesday.

    Devin Booker scored 23 points and Dillon Brooks scored 18 on 6-of-22 shooting for the Suns, who shot 34.9% from the field. Jalen Green, who scored 35 and 36 points in Phoenix’s two play-in games, had 17 on 6-for-16 shooting.

    It was the third straight year that the Thunder earned the top seed and had to wait through the play-in tournament to learn their first-round opponent. Two seasons ago, Oklahoma City beat New Orleans 94-92 in Game 1. Last year, the Thunder routed Memphis 131-80 in Game 1 on their way to the title.

    Phoenix claimed the No. 8 seed by defeating the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. The Suns took an early 5-0 lead Sunday as the Thunder started cold following a week off.

    The Thunder heated up quickly. Brooks was called for a flagrant-one foul in the first quarter for hitting Holmgren in the face. The Thunder went on a 12-2 surge after that to take a 24-14 lead.

    In the closing seconds of the quarter, Oklahoma City’s Jaylin Williams threw a pass about three-quarters of the length of the court. Holmgren caught it with his back to the basket, took one dribble to his right, then turned and drained a 3-pointer as time expired to put Oklahoma City up 35-20.

    Oklahoma City extended the advantage to 65-44 at halftime. Holmgren had 16 points and Gilgeous-Alexander had 15 at the break.

    Gilgeous-Alexander converted a three-point play to push Oklahoma City’s lead to 90-63 late in the third quarter, and the Thunder took a 97-66 edge into the fourth.

    Nine Oklahoma City players saw at least 13 minutes of action.

    WIN
    Caesar’s. As great as Devin Booker is, he’s about to get a healthy dose of Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, and the lethal Thunder perimeter defense. Booker struggled to get in a rhythm against the lesser defenses of Portland and Golden State, and this line reads as too high against a rested, fully healthy Thunder playoff defense. Play it down to under 28.5.

    LOSS
    The Suns and the Thunder split their four games this season, but the Suns’ last win was on the last day of the regular season, when Oklahoma City didn’t play anybody. The Suns have made a massive transition in the postseason where there’s an apparent directive to have Jalen Green take the most shots while leading scorer Devin Booker has been pushed aside, as well as Dillon Brooks, who had the best year of his career. I’m sure they’re not happy about the transition and lack of shots, which leads me to believe that this team might be hungry for the first game at OKC. That’s a lot of points. Game 1 is where they can surprise them and contend for the win. Suns cover.

  • Blue Jays ride an 8-run first inning to a 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks, snapping 4-game skid

    PHOENIX (AP) Kazuma Okamoto hit a solo homer and had three RBIs, Nathan Lukes added a three-run double and the Toronto Blue Jays used an eight-run first inning to cruise past the Arizona Diamondbacks for a 10-4 victory Sunday that prevented a three-game sweep.

    Toronto snapped a four-game losing streak and ended Arizona’s four-game winning streak.

    Ryne Nelson (1-2) was rocked for eight runs and got just one out. His season ERA jumped from 3.54 to 6.97.

    The first eight Blue Jays batters reached base on five singles, two doubles and a walk. Nelson finally struck out Brandon Valenzuela, but Lukes following with a bases-clearing double for an 8-0 lead, ending Nelson’s day after only 30 pitches.

    Toronto starter Kevin Gausman (1-1) gave up two runs over six solid innings. He permitted seven hits and a walk while striking out four. Lukes – who entered the game batting .162 – finished with three hits.

    Okamoto hit his third homer in the third, smacking Andrew Hoffmann’s slider 406 feet over the left-center wall.

    Arizona’s Ildemaro Vargas has hit safety in his first 15 games this season, which extends a franchise record. He has an 18-game hitting streak dating to last season, which is the longest active run in the big leagues.

    Diamondbacks All-Star outfielder Corbin Carroll left before the fifth inning because of low back tightness. Jorge Barrosa replaced him and hit a two-run homer in the seventh.

    The D-backs are off Monday before continuing their homestand Tuesday. RHP Merrill Kelly (1-0, 3.38 ERA) faces White Sox RHP Sean Burke (0-2, 4.43).

    The Blue Jays continue their road trip Monday. RHP Dylan Cease (0-0, 1.74 ERA) opposes Angels LHP Reid Detmers (1-1, 3.57).
