Mikko Rantanen goal, four-point night helps Avalanche set NHL record, remain perfect to start season

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:18 GMT

ELMONT, NY – If the Avs are more concerned with the process than the results, there will be plenty for them to dislike from their effort Tuesday night.But in typical fashion to this point in the season, Colorado’s talent and ability to score in spurts was enough to overcome a deficit and set an NHL record with its 15th consecutive regular-season road win. The Avalanche also improved to 6-0 to start this season with a 7-4 victory against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena.This was Alexandar Georgiev’s worst game of the young season, but he made a couple of big saves in the third period to preserve the lead and won for the sixth time. Colorado’s penalty kill yielded a goal early in the second period, but then negated New York’s next four extra-man chances.Anders Lee beat Georgiev with a long wrist shot at 4:40 of the third period to even the score at 4-4, but the Avalanche reclaimed the lead for the third time in this contest at 7:47. Tomas Tatar blocked a shot near the point i...

Nikola Jokic’s triple-double brings playoff magic back to Denver in Nuggets’ opening-night win over Lakers

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:18 GMT

After the first, Nikola Jokic let out an emphatic cry directed toward the rafters and the fresh championship banner hanging there. Only one quarter and one 3-point attempt into Denver’s title defense, the stoic Joker’s emotions had reached an unexpected high.Yeah, this game mattered to the Nuggets.By the time Jokic made his third 3-pointer close to two hours later, the tension in Ball Arena felt not dissimilar to the atmosphere here during the Western Conference Finals in May. But Jokic’s reaction this time was more expressionless, more business-as-usual. He had come to save the Nuggets again, leading the way to a 119-107 opening-night win Tuesday over Los Angeles.Jokic finished with 29 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, dominating the first half as a post scorer then salvaging Denver’s ring night and his own drought with fourth-quarter heroics. That 3-pointer, for a 97-90 lead to force a Darvin Ham timeout with 8:15 remaining, was the turning point. When Jo...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:18 GMT

The Irvine Police Department is investigating a brawl that broke out between two soccer teams that brought spectators, parents and family members onto the field and into the melee over the weekend.  The Saturday night, Oct. 21, fight at Great Park in Irvine reportedly came at the end of the game between Club Garrafones from South Los Angeles and Irvine Zeta FC II, both of whom are a part of the professional development United Premier Soccer League.  Bryan Wallace, head coach of Irvine Zeta, believes his lower-ranked and younger team’s upset victory over the undefeated Club Garrafones is what sparked tempers and led to a dispute between two players that turned into an out-and-out fight that cleared the bleachers.  “One of their players came up and punched my player, and that started the entire thing. Their team and their parents and a bunch of guys on their bench just started attacking,” Wallace said in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. “One of their coaches att...
