Rangers 4 Lightning 3

The Rangers (4 goals) and Lightning (3 goals) scored a game's worth of goals in the first period.

Only 18 total shots on goal, too.

Tarik Skubal, unsurprisingly, won the American League Cy Young Award.

He's the first since 2018-19 Jacob deGrom to win the Cy Young Award in consecutive years and the 12th pitcher to do it all-time.

The OC Register's Jeff Fletcher reports that the Angels have hired Max Stassi as their catching coach.

With Kurt Suzuki managing, the Angels have their two primary catchers from 2021-22 on their '26 coaching staff.

Former MLB manager Joe Maddon explains why the Giants' historic Tony Vitello hire is 'insulting' Longtime MLB manager Joe Maddon weighed in on the San Francisco Giants' historic Tony Vitello hire.

This is a pretty bad take.

Also, Jacob Trouba hasn't been this good since ... his Winnipeg days?

Quite frankly, he's been unbelievable given the expectations and his level of play before this season.

Yep. Young team with an aggressive style of hockey leaves them a bit vulnerable at times.

For sure. The Avs are steamrolling teams so even playing a competitive game would be encouraging.

Disgusting. You engaged in political gamesmanship using them as pawns knowing they would get harmed and now you question *their* patriotism because some of them aren't wealthy like you and didn't want to work a high stress job for no pay?

How the Anaheim Ducks morphed into a high-scoring, fun-to-watch, surprise team The Ducks, 30th in the NHL in scoring last season, are No. 1 this season.

This is a great read from The Athletic's Eric Stephens on the start to the Ducks season.

There's an awful lot of praise from coaches around the league about Anaheim's short- and long-term outlook.

The Avalanche (.781 win%, best record) and Ducks (.767 win%, 2nd-best record) will face off in Colorado tonight.

It’s been a hot second since Anaheim had a regular-season game of this magnitude.
