Devils Beats Caps, Tie for First Place -EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J

Dave Andreychuk scored his 500th career goal and Doug Gilmour added a goal and an assist as the New Jersey Devils defeated the Washington Capitals 3-2 Saturday to move into a tie with Philadelphia for first-place in the Eastern Conference.
The Devils extended their club-record home unbeaten streak to 15 games (9-0-6) and tied Philadelphia with 88 points.

Fittingly, Andreychuk reached the 500 plateau on one of his patented power-play goals off a rebound. Washington goaltender Bill Ranford stopped a shot by Bill Guerin, but Andreychuk drove to the front of the net, fought off a check by defenseman Mark Tinordi and tapped in the rebound with 10:57 left in the first period to give the Devils a 2-0 lead.

“All the time I’ve been trying to get that goal, it figures that it just happened on one of those plays where I drove the net,” said Andreychuk. “After the goal I looked up at my parents. It’s a real big thrill for the whole family.”

“It must be a relief for him,” said Devils coach Jacques Lemaire. “Any time you are looking for a milestone, you are thinking about it. I’m sure on some shifts he was thinking about it, and you don’t get it naturally when that happens.

“It was a fitting type of goal. He must have scored maybe 400 like that.”

Andreychuk became the 26th player in NHL history — 11 of them now active players — to reach the 500-goal plateau. Joey Mullin became the first American to do it the night before.

Andreychuk, 33, has 24 goals in 69 games this season, his 15th in the NHL. He has 212 goals on the powerplay, and has 558 assists for 1,058 points in a career covering 1,070 games.

“I look at the list and it’s hard to believe I’m on it,” said Andreychuk. “There are some great players on the list. I guess it’s a credit to my consistency, and I’ve played with some great centers: Gilbert Perreault, Doug Gilmour, Pierre Turgeon and Bobby Holik. As a winger, you need someone to get you the puck.”

In Philadelphia, Brian Holzinger scored twice and the Buffalo Sabres chased Ron Hextall with four goals in the first 11 minutes and 34 seconds en route to a 7-5 victory over the Flyers in a battle of division leaders.

The Sabres completed a sweep of the home-and-home series. Buffalo, the Northeast Division leader, improved to 11-2-6 over its last 19 games.

In Boston, Anson Carter scored the goal-ahead goal four minutes into the second period and Jozef Stumpel added a goal and an assist as the Bruins defeated the New York Islanders 5-2 in a battle of two teams battling for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

The Islanders are six points behind eighth-place Montreal in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Islanders remained in 11th place, just one point ahead of Boston.

At Tampa Bay, Brian Noonan scored his first two goals as a Canuck and set up another as Vancouver snapped a seven-game winless streak by beating the Lightning 5-2.

Martin Gelinas added a goal and two assists for the Canucks, 0-5-2 in their previous seven games.

Corey Hirsch lost his shutout bid with just under six minutes to go in the third period, but finished with 37 saves for the Canucks, who moved within four points of Chicago for the final Western Conference playoff berth.

In Montreal, Bruce Gardiner scored with 11:26 left in the third period as the Ottawa Senators stayed unbeaten against the Canadiens this season with a 2-2 tie.

Ottawa improved to 2-0-2 against Montreal this season and 1-5-1 in its last seven games overall.

The Canadiens matched a team record with their 20th overtime game of the season, equaling the mark set first in 1937-38 and again in 1991-92.

In Hartford, Jason Arnott’s power-play goal with 5:30 left in the second period broke a tie and lifted the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-2 victory over the Whalers.

Mats Lindgren, Doug Weight and Rem Murray also scored for the Oilers, who finished a five-game road trip at 2-3 and won for the second time in their last 11 games (2-7-2).

In Florida, Larry Murphy’s power-play goal with 6:58 left in the third period lifted the Toronto Maple Leafs into their fourth tie in five games, 3-3 with the Panthers.

Fredrik Modin had a goal and an assist for Toronto, which is winless in its last five games but 2-1-4 in its last seven.

In San Jose, Sergei Fedorov had two goals and an assist and the Detroit Red Wings turned back a third-period rally to hand the Sharks their fourth straight loss, 7-4.

The Red Wings collected four power-play goals and a shorthanded tally, and are 7-1-5 in their last 13 games.

At Los Angeles, Theo Fleury scored twice and Robert Reichel added a goal and an assist as the Calgary Flames defeated the Kings 5-2.

Fleury and Glen Featherstone had empty-net tallies in the final minute for the Flames, who have split the first six games of their seven-game, 16-day road trip.

In other NHL news:

— The San Jose Sharks, the NHL’s worst team, lost their top center for the season when Bernie Nicholls underwent hernia surgery Saturday morning.

The procedure was done by Dr. William Brown at Stanford Hospital. The Sharks placed Nicholls on injured reserve, retroactive to March 11, when he played his last game.

The 35-year-old Nicholls, signed away from the Chicago Blackhawks as a free agent on July 30, is San Jose’s third-leading scorer with 12 goals and 33 assists in 65 games. He joins defenseman Al Iafrate as Sharks who have undergone season-ending surgery.

Nicholls collected 19 goals and 41 assists in 59 games with Chicago last season. He has 469 goals and 710 assists in 1,057 career games with Los Angeles, the New York Rangers, Edmonton, New Jersey, Chicago and San Jose.

The Sharks have a league-low 53 points and are 13 points out of the final Western Conference playoff spot with 14 games remaining.

— New York Rangers left wing Luc Robitaille suffered a broken foot getting off the team bus Friday night, an accident that likely assures him of staying with the team past the trading deadline on Tuesday.

Robitaille has expressed his desire to remain in New York and general manager Neil Smith will now find if difficult to move a player that will miss four to six weeks.

The 32-year-old Robitaille fell getting off the bus prior to Friday’s 4-3 win over the Senators in Ottawa.

“I’ve never missed games with an injury,” Robitaille said. “It’s devastating.”

But, the weather won’t be shining during the day’s play on June 18 and June 21 either. On the day, rain is expected to disrupt play.

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.
