ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Brayden Schenn and Kasperi Kapanen had two goals and an assist apiece in the St. Louis Blues’ 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night.Jakub Vrana and Sammy Blais also scored during a three-goal first period in St. Louis’ fourth win in five games. The sixth-place Blues are all but certain to miss the playoffs for only the second time since 2011, but they routed the Ducks while scoring at least five goals for the third time in their last six games.“The team played an outstanding game,” said Kapanen, who matched his career high with his fifth three-point game. “I think we’ve got a great core. It was a good example today, and hopefully it will look like that in the future.”Jordan Binnington made 22 saves in his first game action after a two-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct — namely, hitting Minnesota’s Ryan Hartman in the head with his blocker during a melee with the Wild on March 15. Binnington returned from his sus...

Gonzaga’s Drew Timme ends storied career in loss to UConn

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:29:25 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Gonzaga was down 10 points early in the second half Saturday night in the West Region final against UConn, but Julian Strawther had just secured a defensive rebound, and perhaps the Bulldogs had a run in them.But then came a whistle. Zags forward Drew Timme had picked up his fourth foul. Shortly thereafter, it became clear that Gonzaga’s NCAA Tournament run would end.Without him, the third-seeded Bulldogs weren’t a match for No. 4 seed UConn, which pulled away to win 82-54 and end Timme’s college career.Timme, who gained fame for his masterful inside moves and world-class mustache, put together perhaps the finest college career in recent memory. He was a throwback for his crafty low-post game and for spending four years at the same school.“I’m just so thankful that the program and the place took me for who I was,” Timme said. “They didn’t ask me to be anybody but myself. I’m forever in debt for Gonzaga, just the love I have for just everyone ...

Zags’ Strawther may jump to NBA after sad ending in Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two nights after Julian Strawther exuberantly stormed through the tunnel at T-Mobile Arena following his 3-pointer from the March Madness logo that lifted Gonzaga past UCLA, his walk to the locker room Saturday night was somber.Strawther and Drew Timme embraced one another, with towels draping their heads while tears welled their eyes, after the third-seeded Bulldogs were throttled by No. 4 seed Connecticut 82-54 in the West Region final.It wasn’t the ending the pair envisioned to their final game together with the Zags.“We love each other,” said Strawther, who finished with 11 points and six rebounds. “We had a lot of great moments on the court together and we were able to share this jersey. Being that it’s his last game in a Gonzaga jersey and that it’s the last time we share the court together, it was obviously a sour feeling.”Strawther didn’t discuss his own future, but there’s a chance the Las Vegas native’s college career also came to an end ...
