Avalanche makes final camp cuts, but there could still be changes before opening night

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:13:52 GMT

The deadline for the Colorado Avalanche to set their initial roster is Monday, and there were a couple of surprises in the past two days.Every NHL team is allowed a maximum of 23 players on the active roster from Monday through the trade deadline in March. There were no surprises among the players still on the Avs roster after practice Sunday, but the club made more cuts than expected.Forward Ben Meyers and defenseman Sam Malinski were assigned to the Colorado Eagles, while forward Riley Tufte was placed on waivers. The Avs put defensemen Brad Hunt and Jack Achan on waivers Saturday, and both cleared so they’re eligible to join the Eagles.If everyone who is not participating in training camp because of injury goes on injured reserve as expected, the Avalanche will have 21 players on the active roster, not the maximum 23.One player who did earn a spot is Fredrik Olofsson. He won the competition for the fourth-line center role, and Bednar confirmed he’s made the club. He skated betwee...

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Luke List won when he least expected it, getting into a five-way playoff Sunday in the Sanderson Farms Championship and ending it quickly with a birdie putt from just inside 45 feet for his second career PGA Tour victory.The playoff would not have been possible if not for Ben Griffin struggling down the stretch at the Country Club of Jackson. Griffin missed an 8-foot par putt on the final hole.That gave a chance to List, Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg, Henrik Norlander and Scott Stallings, all of whom returned to the par-4 18th hole alongside Griffin. None looked to have a reasonable birdie chance until List poured in his putt and slammed his fist in celebration.List closed with a 2-under 70 and missed a birdie chance from just inside 10 feet on the final hole, giving away his cap to a fan because he figured that would be the last hole he played.He played the 18th again and made an even longer putt for his first win since Torrey Pines in early 2022.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals made what appeared to be a crucial stop just before halftime, stuffing Cincinnati on consecutive plays at the 1-yard line.Two plays later, Josh Dobbs threw his first interception of the season and Cam Taylor-Britt returned it 11 yards for a touchdown, giving the Bengals a three-point lead instead of a deficit.For all the Cardinals did right, mistakes at critical junctures led to another what-could-have-been loss, 34-20 to the Bengals on Sunday. “When you lose the takeaway game 3-1, it’s a hard way to go,” Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said. “We’ve got to do a better job of protecting the football and that’s all 11.”The Cardinals (1-4) left San Francisco last week with a bit of optimism despite losing by 19.Arizona also had some good moments against the Bengals (2-3). The Cardinals rallied from an early 10-point hole, matched a Cincinnati touchdown early in the third quarter and were in scoring position on another secon...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:13:52 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes in the third quarter, one to Travis Kelce after the All-Pro tight end briefly left the game with an ankle injury, and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Minnesota Vikings 27-20 on Sunday.Mahomes went 31 for 41 for 281 yards and no turnovers in his most efficient performance of the season for the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs (4-1), who once again won while not at their best.Kirk Cousins threw for scores to Jordan Addison and Alexander Mattison for the Vikings (1-4).

He grabbed the back of his right leg and limped slowly to the sideline.Mahomes hit Justin Watson ...
