Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid notched his 700th career assist during his team's 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
McDavid is the third-fastest player in NHL history to reach the milestone. Only Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux required fewer games.
The Buffalo Bills and wide receiver Khalil Shakir have agreed to a four-year extension, the team announced Tuesday.
The contract is worth up to $60.2 million and includes $32 million guaranteed at signing, his agency told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
The deal ties Shakir to Buffalo through the 2029 campaign. He was set to enter the last year of his rookie contract prior to the extension.
Now, that's what the Los Angeles Lakers had in mind when they pulled off their shocking trade for Luka Doncic earlier this month.
After going 1-2 and averaging 14.7 points in his first three games with LA following his departure from Dallas, the 25-year-old superstar had by far his best game in a Lakers uniform Saturday night in Denver.
Doncic scored 32 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished out seven assists and stole four passes while leading the Lakers to a 123-100 wipeout of the Nuggets, who had won nine consecutive games.
Authorities have made an arrest in the theft of three luxury cars from a home where Miami quarterback Carson Beck and basketball player Hanna Cavinder were staying.
Tykwon Anderson, 20, was arrested Thursday afternoon. He's one of four men accused of stealing the vehicles, including a Lamborghini, according to an arrest report.
Deputies with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded to the couple's home early Thursday morning. Beck and Cavinder told investigators that someone stole a silver Mercedes-Benz AMG, a red Lamborghini Urus and a white Range Rover while they were asleep.
He’s not Ohtani.
He’s not Soto.
He’s not that good.
Toronto Blue Jays failed to reach a contract extension with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. before his Monday deadline.
You can never say never, but it appears each side made its last, best offer. Guerrero will enter free agency at the end of the season, and he'll likely be the top player available at the age of 26.
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry took home the second All-Star Game MVP award of his career Sunday after leading Shaq's OGs to victoryover Chuck's Global Stars in the final of the event's new mini-tournament.
Curry recorded 12 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in the final game after producing eight points, six boards, one dime, and a steal in the semifinal against Candace's Rising Stars.
The four-time NBA Champion also splashed in four threes in the final, none more impressive than a half-court heave.
Seven more massage therapists have accused Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of sexually inappropriate conduct, the Baltimore Banner reported Sunday.
The news website says a total of 16 massage therapists from eight Baltimore-area spas have now shared accounts with the Banner. All said Tucker's actions occurred between 2012 and 2016.
The Banner first reported allegations against Tucker late last month, saying it had spoken with six massage therapists who recounted firsthand experiences with him. The number of accusers has more than doubled since.
Tiger Woods has withdrawn from this week's Genesis Invitational, he announced Monday.
"I planned to tee it up this week, but I'm just not ready," he wrote in a statement. "I did my best to prepare, knowing it's what my mom would have wanted, but I'm still processing her loss.
"Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my mom's passing."
Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby will play in Wednesday's 4 Nations Face-Off opener against Sweden, he told reporters Monday, including TSN's Chris Johnston.
Crosby's status was in question after he missed the Pittsburgh Penguins' last two games before the break with an upper-body injury. The decision to play in the tournament was left up to him.
Canada had until 2 p.m. ET on Monday to name a replacement or not. Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele was reportedly on standby.
The Philadelphia Eagles rode a dominant defensive performance, which featured six Patrick Mahomes sacks and a second-quarter pick-6, to a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday in New Orleans.
Kansas City entered the matchup trying to become the first team to win three consecutive titles, but it fell short in its fifth Super Bowl appearance of the Mahomes era.
Major League Baseball fired umpire Pat Hoberg for sharing betting accounts with a friend who wagered on games, the league announced Monday.
There's no evidence that Hoberg bet on baseball or influenced any games that he worked, MLB said. However, Hoberg did delete messages that were pertinent to its investigation.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell disagrees with the idea that league officials have favored the Kansas City Chiefs amid the team's quest for a three-peat with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"This reminds me of the script that I write for the entire season," Goodell ironically said Monday during a press conference in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIX, according to David Bearman of Pro Football Network. "A lot of those theories happen in social media and get a new life. No (one) wants it to be their theory, but it reflects the fans' passions."
Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman was suspended 10 games for roughing Ottawa Senators star Tim Stutzle during Saturday's game, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Monday.
Hartman was assessed a match penalty for attempting to injure Stutzle after driving the opposing forward's head into the ice at the end of the second frame.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 245 yards and a touchdown, ran through the Buffalo defense for two more scores, and relied on his defense at key moments to help the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Bills 32-29 on Sunday night and reach the Super Bowl for the third consecutive season.
Now, the AFC champions will try to do something no other NFL team has done: Win all three.
The Chiefs will get a familiar foe in the Eagles, whom they beat two years ago for the first title in this run. Philadelphia romped to a 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders earlier Sunday to earn a shot at the champs on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
Saquon Barkley dashed 60 yards for a touchdown on Philadelphia’s first play and finished with 118 yards and three scores, Jalen Hurts rushed for three TDs and the Eagles soared into the Super Bowl with a 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
Hurts and the Eagles are in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons, and this time Barkley is along for the ride. The Eagles will play either the Buffalo Bills or former Eagles coach Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs.
New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom will miss four-to-six weeks due to an MCL sprain sustained Wednesday against the Boston Bruins, the team announced.
Markstrom will miss all of New Jersey's games leading up to February's 4 Nations Face-Off and is likely to be replaced on Sweden's roster.
Sweden's other netminders are Linus Ullmark of the Ottawa Senators, who is also dealing with injury concerns, and Filip Gustavsson of the Minnesota Wild.
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers were both suspended three games for their cross-checks during Saturday's contest, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Monday.

McDavid and Myers were handed match penalties, which are automatically reviewed by the league.
The Toronto Blue Jays and outfielder Anthony Santander are in agreement on a five-year contract worth $92.5 million, his agency announced Monday.
Josh Allen rushed for two touchdowns, Buffalo’s defense forced three turnovers and the Bills advanced to the AFC championship game with a 27-25 win over the Baltimore Ravens in a divisional playoff game on Sunday night.
The Bills hung on when a wide-open Mark Andrews dropped a 2-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson, allowing the ball to bounce off his chest with 1:33 left. Jackson connected with a sliding Isaiah Likely for a 24-yard touchdown to give the Ravens a chance to tie.
The Bills advanced to the AFC championship game next Sunday against the conference’s top seed, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Buffalo snapped a three-year run of being eliminated in the divisional round.
Sepp Straka won The American Express by two shots over Justin Thomas on Sunday, finishing his third career PGA Tour victory at 25-under 263 with a final-round 70.
Straka, the first Austrian to win on the tour three years ago, comfortably marched to victory after taking a four-shot lead into the final round at the venerable Coachella Valley tournament. He didn't have a bogey in the four-day event until making two in the final three holes, but his competitors couldn't mount a charge to make it uncomfortable.
The 31-year-old Straka looked cool and collected on PGA West's Stadium Course— but he wasn't.
Roki Sasaki has made his decision.
The star Japanese right-hander announced Friday that he's signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Bob Uecker, the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers who after a short playing career earned the moniker "Mr. Baseball" and honors from the Hall of Fame, has died. He was 90.

Sun Day Red, Tiger Woods’s new apparel line through TaylorMade, is facing its second trademark dispute in four months—this one coming from Puma.
In a court filing last week, the German apparel company alleged the Sun Day Red logo is too similar to the primary “Leaping Cat” logo Puma has used since 1969. The filing was submitted through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Virginia, with a goal of preventing Sun Day Red from using its logo, which is a tiger with 15 lines to honor Woods’s 15 major championships. The name Sun Day Red is a nod to Woods wearing red on Sundays in golf tournaments.
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin's home was burglarized last Saturday, the team announced.
Malkin's missing the three Stanley Cup rings won with Pittsburgh in 2009, 2016, and 2017, he confirmed to The Athletic's Rob Rossi and Alex Andrejev.
"We are working closely with local authorities and team security," the Penguins said in a statement. "Malkin has requested that his privacy be respected during this time and we will have no further comment on the matter."
Nick Taylor beat Nico Echavarria in a playoff Sunday to win the Sony Open and seal his fifth career PGA TOUR victory.
Taylor earned the victory with a birdie on the second playoff hole. He made a four on the par-5 18th despite launching his tee shot into the bunker. Echavarria opened the door for Taylor to win with a three-putt par.
Taylor was 1-over par through seven holes Sunday, then reeled off four consecutive birdies to put himself into contention. He grabbed the clubhouse lead with a chip-in eagle on his 72nd hole of the tournament.
Puma is pouncing on Tiger Woods' Sun Day Red logos.
The German footwear and sports apparel company filed a notice of opposition against the legendary golfer's new brand, stating that the logos are too similar.
"Due to the confusing similarity of the marks and the identical, legally identical, or closely related nature of the goods and services of the parties, consumer confusion is likely between the Challenged Marks and the Leaping Cat logo," Puma said in the filing.
The Las Vegas Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce, the team announced Tuesday.
The Raiders will keep general manager Tom Telesco, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Pierce posted a 4-13 record over his lone full season as head coach. His Raiders also suffered a 10-game losing streak and went winless against AFC West opponents for the first time since 2006, per Schefter.
Pierce went 5-4 as the interim coach in 2023 following the firing of Josh McDaniels. He was named Las Vegas' 23rd head coach in January 2024.
The Athletics and slugger Brent Rooker agreed to a five-year extension worth $60 million, a source told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
Rooker's deal reportedly contains a vesting option that can take the contract to $90 million over six years.
The move halts trade speculation that followed the 30-year-old into the offseason. Rooker bashed 69 home runs over the past two seasons, making him a premier power threat and an intriguing trade chip for the typically frugal Athletics.
Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews is returning to the lineup Saturday against the Boston Bruins.
Matthews confirmed it to reporters, including TSN's Chris Johnston, on Saturday morning. The Maple Leafs then activated the American superstar off injured reserve in the late afternoon.
He missed Toronto's last six games after aggravating an upper-body injury Dec. 20. He sat out nine contests earlier in the campaign with the ailment.
The Dallas Cowboys cut running back Ezekiel Elliott after he asked to be released, the team announced Tuesday.
