Avalanche keeps rolling with workmanlike 3-1 win against Flames

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:35:21 GMT

It felt like a “take care of business and move on” kind of Saturday night for the Colorado Avalanche, but who scored was as significant as how and when.One key player broke a scoring drought. Another continued to cement his place on the top power-play unit. And another collected a goal for a recently-formed line that the club needs more production from.The end result was a 3-1 victory against the Calgary Flames, and that scoreline was flattering for the visiting team. Ivan Prosvetov made 30 saves to win for the second time in three starts with the Avalanche. He wasn’t tested with many quality chances until later in this contest, but he certainly outplayed his adversary at the other end of the ice.Colorado won its first six games of the season, but the Avalanche is currently in the midst of its best stretch of hockey during this campaign. The Avs are one bad minute in Nashville from seven consecutive victories, but more importantly they have found a more consistentl...

Memorable third period leads Sharks to feisty win over Vancouver Canucks

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:35:21 GMT

SAN JOSE – Maybe up until recently, the San Jose Sharks played more like a collection of NHL players than a team.That might have changed on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks.Mikael Granlund and Mike Hoffman both scored third-period goals and goalie Kaapo Kahkonen finished with 32 saves as the Sharks earned a feisty 4-3 win over the Canucks to snap a three-game losing streak.Granlund’s goal might have been the prettiest of the season for the Sharks as he went end to end before beating Vancouver goalie Casey DeSmith at the 22-second mark of the third period to give San Jose a 3-2 lead. Just 1:26 later, with the Sharks on a 4-on-3 man advantage, Hoffman scored off a pass from Granlund for a 4-2 San Jose lead.Brock Boeser scored his second goal of the game with 3:11 left in regulation time to cut San Jose’s lead to 4-3, but the Sharks held on from there to earn their fourth win of the season.The Sharks had already lost twice to Vancouver this season, 10-1 on Nov. 2, and 3-1 o...

Barnes’ TD, Weitz three field goals lift Clemson to 16-7 victory over rival South Carolina

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:35:21 GMT

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney always believed his team would show its championship heart in a difficult and frustrating season. The Tigers stepped up to show their coach’s faith in them was not misplaced. Clemson finished off a four-game November sweep with a satisfying 16-7 win over rival South Carolina on Saturday night, rallying after a 4-4 start that spoiled the preseason ACC favorites plans to add another title this season. “Really proud of my players,” Swinney said. “Great, great response by all these guys.” On Saturday night, it was freshman defensive back Khalil Barnes who scored the team’s only touchdown, kicker Jonathan Weitz who made the three longest field goals of his career, and a defense that held Gamecocks quarterback Spencer Rattler to a season-low 112 yards passing. “Our defense is as good as there is out there,” Swinney said. Especially against the Gamecocks who punted eight straight times after their lone touchdown in the first quar...

Coach Billy Napier’s team had two players ejected, suffered more gaffes on specia...
