CHICAGO — Elias Lindholm reached two milestones and shrugged off the significance of each one. Just another night for the steady forward.

IRVINE, Calif. — The Canadian men's national team scored three first-half goals on their way to defeating Barbados 4-1 on Tuesday in an international friendly.

WASHINGTON — As Alex Ovechkin's sterling career continues, the records continue to accumulate. Ovechkin and T.J. Oshie each scored two goals in the Washington Capitals' 6-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.

DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings are the worst team in the NHL. They just happen to be very successful against the Montreal Canadiens.

TAMPA, Fla. — A matchup between the two hottest teams in the NHL turned into a mismatch in a hurry.

TORONTO — Tuesday's Raptors game was playing out like a good-news story about Toronto's emerging new bench mob — until Carmelo Anthony spoiled it. The 10-time NBA all-star scored with 4.

Clifford Starke is happy for Montreal's long-suffering football fans but feels the CFL didn't give him a real chance to purchase the Alouettes.
