Canadiens, Panthers End in Deadlock MONTREAL — Johan Garpenlov

MONTREAL — Johan Garpenlov’s wrist shot beat goaltender Jose Theodore with 3:30 left in regulation to lift the Florida Panthers into a 2-2 tie with the Montreal Canadiens Monday.
Garpenlov’s score, which was created by a fake shot and ensuing screen, was his eighth of the season and spoiled an otherwise terrific performance by Theodore. Theodore, a last-second replacement for flu-ridden Jocelyn Thibault, turned aside 39 shots.

“I was happy to see Theodore step in at the last minute,” Canadiens coach Mario Tremblay said. “He only found out at six o’clock that he was going to play. The Panthers had more than 40 shots, we have to find a way to cut down on the shots. We sat back in the third period and tried to win the game 2-1. We lost a key faceoff and they got the tying goal.”

“I would have liked more notice,” Theodore said. “I wish I would have found out sooner that I was starting tonight, but as an athlete, you have to be ready.”

Garpenlov admitted the goal was more good fortune than skill.

“I don’t know how I scored the goal, it was a desperate shot, maybe it hit (Rob) Niedermayer,” Garpenlov said. “With Ray Sheppard out of the lineup, you have to take more shots, I have to work harder and go get to the net.”

Martin Rucinsky and Vladimir Malakhov scored for the Canadiens while Scott Mellanby had the other tally for Florida. Neither team had a good chance in overtime but Montreal did register three shots.

The Canadiens, who are 1-0-2 in their last three, have allowed 30 shots or more in 13 consecutive games.

“Some people don’t think a tie is important,” Rucinsky said. “But in our last two games, we did get two ties. We played two top teams, New Jersey and Florida and just to tie them, that’s big for us.”

Florida goaltender Mark Fitzpatrick stopped 22 shots and saw his record move to 8-4-4.

“We had a lot of great opportunities, we had a lot of great chances, we battled hard,” Florida coach Doug MacLean said. “Both teams were desperate in the third but we got a big punch, we had a big jump in the third period. I was getting nervous, I thought we’d lose. It’s a tie that that gives us confidence.”

Montreal broke on top 8:31 into the game when Rucinsky capitalized on a power-play opportunity. Mark Recchi, playing in his 600th game, slipped a backhanded pass to Rucinsky at the right side of the net. Rucinsky then pushed the puck low along the ice just past Fitzpatrick’s glove side.

Florida knotted the score just over 5:30 later when Mellanby converted the rebound of a Rob Niedermayer pass and beat Theodore with a wrist shot low to the stick side.

Malakhov’s fourth goal of the season, and first since Nov. 23, snapped the tie six minutes into the second period. Rucinsky drew Fitzpatrick out of the net and slid a cross-ice pass to a streaking Malakhov who pushed it into an empty net.

Florida, which is 4-1-1 in its last six, was playing without Sheppard, the team’s second-leading scorer. Sheppard will be out four to six weeks after suffering a right knee injury in Saturday’s loss to Washington.

In other Panthers news Monday, right wing Ray Sheppard underwent an MRI and will be out four to six weeks with a sprained right medial collateral knee ligament suffered in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.

Sheppard, who has 20 goals and 22 assists in 48 games this season, collided knee-to-knee with Peter Bondra and has heavy swelling in the knee. The swelling must go down before the knee can be re-evaluated on Sunday or Monday, though general manager Bryan Murray feared that the injury might be season-ending.

Bondra was given a major penalty on the play and was suspended for at least one game pending a hearing.

In other NHL games Monday:

— In Ottawa, Shaun Van Allen scored twice during a three-goal first period and Alexei Yashin had a goal and two assists as the Ottawa Senators held off the Vancouver Canucks, 6-4.

Steve Duchesne had a goal and an assist and Janne Laukkanen and Randy Cunneyworth set up two goals apiece for Ottawa, which improved to 5-2-3 in its last 10 games. The Senators swept the season series from Vancouver and recorded double-digit wins at home for the first time in their five-year history.

Ottawa built a 5-1 lead and had a three-goal advantage entering the third period, but David Roberts scored on a wrist shot from the slot, his eighth goal, at 5:55 of the final period to pull Vancouver within 5-3.

Mike Ridley’s 15th goal with 8:24 remaining made it a one-goal game. Ridley deflected Alexander Mogilny’s backhand pass by goaltender Damian Rhodes, capping a 3-on-2 break.

The Canucks had heavy pressure in the Ottawa zone before Senators winger Denny Lambert made a perfect breakout pass to Alexandre Daigle, who converted the ensuing breakaway for his 20th goal with 78 seconds left, sealing the victory.

— In Calgary, Stephane Fiset made 39 saves, including 15 in the third period, and Ed Olczyk and Kai Nurminen scored second-period power-play goals, leading the Los Angeles Kings to a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames.

Yanic Perreault tallied a shorthanded goal in the second period for the Kings, who improved to 2-5-1 in their last eight games. Los Angeles had scored just one goal in going 0-2-1 in its first three meetings with Calgary this season.

Theo Fleury’s 22nd goal of the season 7:54 into the third peiod pulled Calgary within 3-2, but the Flames would not beat Fiset again. Fiset made glove saves on German Titov and Yves Racine in the final five minutes to preserve the win.

The Flames pulled goaltender Trevor Kidd for an extra attacker with 90 seconds remaining, but couldn’t get a shot on goal.

Steve Chiasson also tallied for Calgary, which is 2-2-1 in its last five.

— In San Jose, Ulf Dahlen’s third goal in as many games snapped a first-period tie, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-2 victory over his former team, the San Jose Sharks.

Tony Amonte took a shot that San Jose goaltender Kelly Hrudey saved, but Dahlen poked the rebound over the goal line from behind the net for his 11th goal and a 2-1 lead with 77 seconds left in the first period.

Chicago’s three-game winning streak is its longest since a four-game streak from Oct. 15-24. Chris Terreri made 38 saves and improved to 7-10-3. Terreri, Dahlen and Michal Sykora were traded to Chicago for goaltender Ed Belfour on Jan. 25.

Hrudey made 34 saves and fell to 12-15-2 as the Sharks failed to win three straight games for the first time this season.

But he still has not captained the side to an ICC championship title since taking over from MS Dhoni in every format year ago.

The top-ranked sides have gathered enough points to make the rights to struggle for the inaugural ICC World Test Championship trophy, with the finale in the Rose Bowl beginning June 18. (More Cricket News)The finalists have termed their respective 15-member squads for the five-day showdown, which is predicted to be an edge of the seat thriller. Both sides have some of the best operators in the game, let alone the arrangement. Thus, it’s only fitting to provide a lowdown on some probable match-ups. Here are top-five clashes that will settle the problem:

He’s 7490 runs in the conventional format of this game, at a mean of 52.37 (in 153 innings) with 27 centuries. But the last time the 32-year-old struck a Test ton was in 2019, against Bangladesh in Kolkata. He’s played seven Tests, including two against New Zealand wherein four unique bowlers had dismissed him, with the maximum score of 74 against Australia in Adelaide.Virat Kohli and Tim SoutheeSo, a lot to work for the modern day legend.

He sure will be up against a powerful pace attack in Southampton, with a particular Tim Southee in the middle. The Kiwi fast has dismissed Kohi less than 10 times, including three in Evaluation, same as by Trent Boult. If the top-three failed to fire, India will need Kohli at his best and the skipper will have to tackle Kiwi pacers, particularly the expert Southee. The 32-year-old has 309 wickets from 78 matches in an average of 28.31. He’s almost unplayable under overcast conditions.

Within this WTC campaign, he’s taken 51 wickets in 20.66, and he enjoys bowling against India.Kane Williamson (NZ) vs Jasprit Bumrah (IND)Well, the opposing captain is having some run even though Steve Smith just dislodged him as the top-ranked Test batsman. Kane Williamson, the affable and definitely among the nicest men in world cricket, is searching for an English redemption after New Zealand’s heart-breaking ODI World Cup final defeat. However, for Williamson, the Evaluation mace might well be the greatest trophy in cricket. And he’s coming to the finale with a great deal of runs — 251 vs West Indies, 129+21 vs Pakistan and another double ton (238) against Pakistan. But he is raring to go.

The date of June 18 will be a historical day for the cricket calendar because the first-ever World Test Championship final will pit two of the world’s greatest Test sides, India and New Zealand, in the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. While New Zealand are coming out of a new 1-0 win against hosts England at a two-Test series, the Indian team have been prepping through regular training and an intra-squad match in the match venue. Both teams have immense depth in their squads overall, comprising some high-profile professional batters and bowlers.While India boasts the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah in their group,

New Zealand have an equally skilled squad composed of skipper Kane Williamson, Neil Wagner, Tim Southee and Tom Latham.Here’s a look at the top 3 players from both teams to see at the WTC Final:IndiaVirat Kohli: The Indian captain’s previous record and tours of England defines the way the right-wing maestro learnt from each of his previous excursions in the nation. With the incentive of leading the country to its maiden WTC triumph, Kohli can be expected to dictate terms when he gets a steady start at the beginning and his eye in.The India captain had a torrid time with the bat when he toured England but redeemed himself when he travelled to England in 2018 by outscoring everyone.

Rishabh Pant: The volatile Indian wicketkeeper-batsman has been among the most highly-rated participant in world cricket for the past of couple of years. Pant’s unorthodox batsmanship and his temperament of taking the game to the opposition, irrespective of the circumstance, can surely be the X-factor that India need against a strong New Zealand attack.The youthful wicketkeeper-batsman declared himself in Test cricket by beating Adil Rashid for a six over long-on in his debut match.

His greatest score came in the Oval when he smashed 114 runs.Jasprit Bumrah: A bowling attack between Jasprit Bumrah gives an excess tooth to the Indian group. And alongside the likes of Mohammed Shami, Bumrah can wreak havoc against any batting order on earth. His peculiar action and the ability to make the ball slide off the surface makes it hard to get a batsman to cope with.Bumrah has been India’s go-to bowler no matter the conditions. Williamson has been in tremendous form at the longest format of the match with two double centuries in the summer of 2020-21 (251 and 238 from the West Indies and Pakistan respectively).

Despite scoring a hundred at Lord’s, Williamson, in five Tests in the united kingdom, has only 261 runs beneath his belt.Ross Taylor: One of the most experienced members of the New Zealand squad, Taylor creates the backbone of the batting middle-order. His ability to change gears against twist in addition to speed makes him a key figure against the caliber Indian twist of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.The veteran batsman averages over 40 in England in Test cricket.

Man United vs Everton

Manchester United twice gave up the lead as Dominic Calvert-Lewin netted deep in second-half stoppage time to earn Everton a 3-3 draw at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Everton looked the more dangerous side in the opening minutes, but it was Manchester United that scored first when Edinson Cavani connected with a lovely Marcus Rashford cross at the back post to head home for the lead on 24 minutes.

Premier League Results and Points Table: The match Manchester United vs Everton ended in a 3-3 draw. Everton scored in the 90+5′ minute to equalize.

Manchester United had hoped to go to the top of the table and believed that they would right up until the injury time of the match.

Manchester United gain a 2-goals lead

The first goal came in the 24th minute for the Red Devils. Edinson Cavani scored as Rashford drifted out to the right-hand side. He had enough time to get his head up and spot his man.

Cavani was alert to the chance and headed it past Olsen to gain the lead for the hosts.

The second goal came right before the half-time whistle. Bruno Fernandes puts Ole’s men two goals ahead. He dummied a pass to Aaron Wan-Bissaka and then received possession to curl a right-footed effort over Olsen into the top-left corner.

On the other hand, Everton are going through a rough patch as they have won only two games out of their last five. They are currently at the 7th spot in Premier League. Ole talked about Pogba’s future: “We’ve got a good open dialogue with Paul, so what we talk about and how we see that situation remains between us of course. I’m just happy he’s focused, he’s playing really well and he’s happy in himself and that’s important. You can see Paul now enjoying playing football with a red shirt on.”

Manchester United vs Everton: Confirmed line-ups

Man United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford, Cavani

Subs: Henderson, Telles, Williams, Matic, Van De Beek, Martial, Fred, James, Tuanzebe

Everton: Olsen, Holgate, Godfrey, Keane, Digne, Doucoure, Gomes, Davies, Richarlison, James, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Virginia, Nkounkou, Coleman, Delph, Bernard, Iwobi, Mina, Sigurdsson, King

The 26-year-old has been at United for just over a year but he’s already scored 21 league goals. What makes that number even more insane is that he’s also recorded 19 assists in that time-frame.

Fernandes is now in solo second in the race for the Golden Boot, just two goals behind Mohamed Salah.

One man who was impressed with Fernandes’ goal was former United hero, Robin Van Persie.

He wrote on Twitter: “Bruno Fernandes ladies & gentleman. What a joy to watch him play! Just wondering… how many goals for RvP with him in midfield.”

We will never know the answer to that question but it’s a lot.

United were 2-0 up at half-time after goals from Edison Cavani and Bruno Fernandes but the scores were level less than 10 minutes after the interval after Abdoulaye Doucoure capitalised on some sloppy goalkeeping from David de Gea before James Rodriguez rifled in an equaliser.

United restored their advantage when Scott McTominay’s looping header from Luke Shaw’s free-kick crept in at the far post, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin stabbed home deep into injury-time to deny United a huge win. Old Gunnar Solskjaer will be pleased with the way his side attacked but De Gea’s latest mistake might have posed a new dilemma and there is concern over Paul Pogba’s fitness after he limped off with a muscular problem in the first half.
