NHL…<\/p>\n
TORONTO (AP) \u2014 William Nylander (NEE\u2019-lan-dur) broke a tie at 1:06 of the third period and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 Wednesday night in the opener for both teams.<\/p>\n
Toronto won in front of over 18,000 masked and fully vaccinated fans in Scotiabank Arena\u2019s first regular-season crowd since March 10, 2020. Jack Campbell made 31 saves for Toronto, allowing only Jonathan Drouin\u2019s first-period goal.<\/p>\n
Pierre Engvall ENG\u2019-vahl tied it on a power play midway through the second. Toronto star Auston Matthews, the NHL leader with 41 goals in 52 games last season, sat out because of a wrist injury that hasn\u2019t fully healed from surgery.<\/p>\n
In other ice action:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bowen Byram scored his first NHL goal and added an assist to lead the short-handed Colorado Avalanche to a 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Nazem Kadri and Gabriel Landeskog each had a goal and an assist for Colorado, which played without star center Nathan MacKinnon and head coach Jared Bednar. Both are in the COVID-19 protocol and away from the team.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Kyle Turris scored the shootout winner and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams. Jesse Puljujarvi and Zach Hyman scored in regulation for the Oilers, who squandered a late lead. Edmonton also got a pair of assists from Connor McDavid. Mike Smith finished with 36 saves. Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Quinn Hughes scored for the Canucks. Thatcher Demko made 32 saves.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mason McTavish became the youngest player in Anaheim history to score a goal as the Ducks opened the season with a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. The 18-year-old McTavish \u2014 the third overall pick in this year\u2019s NHL draft \u2014 put in a loose puck 13:20 into the first period to give Anaheim a 2-0 lead. Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck made a pad save on a shot by Isac Lundestrom, but McTavish gathered in the rebound. Adam Henrique, Kevin Shattenkirk and Rickard Rakell also scored for Anaheim.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Washington Capitals made a season-opening 5-1 victory against the division-rival New York Rangers memorable Wednesday night for Alex Ovechkin\u2019s 731st and 732nd goals and Hendrix Lapierre\u2019s first. Ovechkin scored twice to pass Marcel Dionne for sole possession of fifth place on the NHL goals list, putting him a couple of steps closer to Wayne Gretzky\u2019s record that had long seemed unbreakable. Ovechkin, one game into a new five-year contract to chase the mark, needs 163 goals to pass Gretzky.<\/p>\n

Predators sign Ekholm to 4-year, $25 million deal<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Nashville Predators have signed defenseman Mattias Ekholm to a four-year, $25 million extension, keeping him under contract through the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n
The team announced the contract Wednesday at a news conference. General manager David Poile says they couldn\u2019t be happier to get this deal done before the season opener Thursday night against Seattle.<\/p>\n
Ekholm was drafted by Nashville in 2009. He has played his entire career in Nashville.<\/p>\n
In other NHL news:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The New York Islanders will start the season with 13 straight road games. That\u2019s the second-longest road trip in NHL history and the longest to start a season. The NHL drew up the plan while construction of the team\u2019s new home at UBS Arena is completed. Playing a few more games at Nassau Coliseum was not an option, so instead the Islanders will crisscross the country. New York will play its first home game on Nov. 20 against Calgary, more than five weeks into the season.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Toronto Maple Leafs sported TikTok decals on their helmets for the season opener against the Montreal Canadiens. The social media platform\u2019s logo to appear on players\u2019 helmets throughout the season. The NHL added helmet advertisements last season and the board of governors has unanimously approved sponsor patches on jerseys beginning next season.<\/p>\n
NFL-NEWS<\/p>\n
Undefeated Cardinals down at least 2 starters vs. Browns<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Arizona Cardinals will be without two starters and probably a third as they try to stay unbeaten in a road game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n
Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury has confirmed that tight end Maxx Williams is out for the season because of a right knee injury he suffered last week in the team\u2019s 17-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. He also said three-time Pro Bowl center Rodney Hudson will miss the game in Cleveland with an injury to his ribs while linebacker Chandler Jones is doubtful after testing positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, NFL sacks leader Myles Garrett and star running back Nick Chubb are two of several key Browns players not practicing because of injuries. Garrett, who has seven sacks and been dominant all season, is dealing with knee and ankle issues. The 2020 All-Pro defensive end sat out two practices last week but played in Sunday\u2019s 47-42 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n
In other NFL news:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Kansas City Chiefs practiced without five key starters including wide receiver Tyreek Hill and pass rusher Chris Jones. Hill was out with a bruised quad that he sustained in Sunday night\u2019s loss to the Bills, when the Chiefs also lost running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to a sprained knee ligament. Jones continues to deal with a lingering wrist injury. Also out Wednesday were linebacker Anthony Hitchens, defensive back Charvarius Ward and guard Joe Thuney.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Daniel Jones has made some progress since suffering a concussion last weekend and there\u2019s a chance the Giants quarterback will play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Coach Joe Judge said Wednesday that Jones remains in the NFL\u2019s concussion protocol. It is unlikely he\u2019ll practice Thursday since the next step in the protocol would be either increased physical activity followed by a non-contact practice.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Panthers coach Matt Rhule said running back Christian McCaffrey is 50-50 for Carolina\u2019s game against the Minnesota Vikings. McCaffrey has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. Rhule thinks the decision will come right up until the game.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Indianapolis Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton was back on the practice field for Wednesday\u2019s light workout. If all goes well over the next few days, he might be playing Sunday against Houston. The four-time Pro Bowler has been designated for return from injured reserve after having neck surgery in August and coach Frank Reich is optimistic Hilton will be cleared to play this weekend.<\/p>\n
\u2014 It has not been a good start to the week for the Los Angeles Chargers offensive line. The Chargers found out on Monday that right guard Oday Aboushi would miss the rest of the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee during Sunday\u2019s 47-42 win over Cleveland. On Wednesday, the team announced that right tackle Bryan Bulaga will miss more time after having core muscle surgery. Michael Schofield stepped in after Aboushi was injured and will remain the starter. With Storm Norton filling in at right tackle, center Corey Linsley said that he expects everyone to continue to step up.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor won\u2019t come off injured reserve this week, and left tackle Laremy Tunsil will have thumb surgery and is expected to be out at least a month. Taylor injured his hamstring Sept. 19 against the Browns and was placed on injured reserve the following week. He is eligible to return this week, but coach David Culley said he still needs more time. Tunsil injured his left thumb in a loss to the Patriots on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Tennessee Titans have brought back linebacker Avery Williamson, signing the veteran off Denver\u2019s practice squad. Williamson was a fifth-round draft pick by the Titans in 2014 out of Kentucky. He spent his first four seasons with Tennessee before signing a three-year deal in 2018 with the New York Jets. Williamson missed the 2019 season with a torn ACL and was traded to Pittsburgh during last season. The Titans also announced that safety Amani Hooker has been cleared to return to practice even as he remains on injured reserve.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cornerback Tre Flowers has been released by the Seattle Seahawks as they struggle to find the right combination at the position. Flowers started the first three games but was benched in favor of Sidney Jones after Minnesota dissected Seattle\u2019s secondary in Week 3. Coach Pete Carroll raved about Flowers\u2019 performance in earning the starting job during training camp but didn\u2019t have many answers on why his standing changed so quickly. The entire cornerback situation remains unsettled five weeks into the regular season.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell says center Frank Ragnow feels guilty about having season-ending toe surgery. Campbell said that the surgery went well, and that Ragnow does not need to feel bad about doing the right thing for his long-term future. Ragnow was hurt earlier this month at Chicago and went on injured reserve last week.<\/p>\n
NBA-76ERS-SIMMONS<\/p>\n
Simmons drama drags on for 76ers<\/p>\n
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) \u2014 Ben Simmons has reported to the Philadelphia 76ers but the disgruntled All-Star guard still may not play for the franchise.<\/p>\n
Coach Doc Rivers says he doesn\u2019t know if Simmons has backed off his trade demand. Rivers said Simmons was scheduled to return to the practice facility late Wednesday for an individual workout and that he won\u2019t practice with the team until he clears NBA health and safety protocols.<\/p>\n
Rivers said he hasn\u2019t ruled out Simmons traveling with the team to Detroit for their last preseason game Friday.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere around the NBA:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The New Orleans Pelicans exercised options on four former first-round draft choices including star forward Zion Williamson and also added undrafted rookie guard John Petty Jr. to their roster. The Pelicans picked up fourth-year options on 2019 first-round draft choices Williamson, center Jaxson Hayes and guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker, keeping them under contract through next season. New Orleans also exercised a third-year option on 2020 top draft choice Kira Lewis Jr., keeping him under contract through the 2022-23 season as well. The signing of Petty gives the Pelicans three ex-Alabama players including Lewis and 2021 second-round pick Herbert Jones.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Western Conference has the best regular season team from last year in Utah. The West champion Phoenix Suns are primed for another run. But the team to catch might be the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James and Anthony Davis now have tons of proven players alongside them like Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook. James says he knows a popular narrative is that the Lakers are too old to win. He says he\u2019s looking forward to disproving that.<\/p>\n

INDIA N WELLS, Calif.(AP) \u2014 Grigor Dimitrov beat top-seeded Daniil Medvedev 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open, extending the parade of upsets that has knocked out several top players. Medvedev\u2019s defeat left the combined ATP and WTA tournament without its top two men\u2019s and women\u2019s seeds.<\/p>\n
Karolina Pliskova lost in the third round as did No. 2 Iga Swiatek.<\/p>\n

WNBA FINALS<\/p>\n
Mercury even WNBA Finals with 91-86 overtime win over Sky<\/p>\n
PHOENIX (AP) \u2014 Brittney Griner dunked while scoring 29 points, Diana Taurasi had eight of her 20 points in overtime and Phoenix Mercury evened the WNBA Finals with a 91-86 win over the Chicago Sky.<\/p>\n
Griner kept the Mercury within reach of Chicago during a sluggish start and brought the Phoenix Suns players sitting courtside to their feet with her second career playoff dunk in the first quarter. She scored on a turnaround jump to help give Phoenix a late four-point lead in regulation, but just missed blocking Courtney Vandersloot\u2019s tying layup with 4.4 seconds left.<\/p>\n
Taurasi opened overtime with a four-point play and added a 3-pointer that put Phoenix up 89-86 with 1:24 left. Skylar Diggins-Smith, who had 13 points and 12 assists, sealed it on a layup with 12.8 seconds left.<\/p>\n

Golf Australia cancels men\u2019s and women\u2019s Opens amid pandemic<\/p>\n
SYDNEY (AP) \u2014 The men\u2019s Australian Open golf tournament and Australian Women\u2019s Open scheduled for next year have been canceled because of COVID-19-related travel and quarantine restrictions. Golf Australia chief executive James Sutherland says \u201cwe believe it to be the right outcome under the current circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s Australian Open was originally scheduled for next month at The Australian Golf Club in Sydney but had already been re-scheduled for a date in early 2022.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 ESPN has signed a five-year agreement with the NFL to broadcast the Monday night game during the first weekend of the playoffs, beginning this season. The announcement was made by ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro at the CAA World Congress of Sport.<\/p>\n
The NFL announced last month that it was moving the Saturday early afternoon game on wild-card weekend to Monday night.<\/p>\n
OBIT-RAY FOSSE<\/p>\n
Ray Fosse, barreled by Rose at \u201970 All-Star Game, dies at 74<\/p>\n
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Ray Fosse, the strong-armed catcher whose career was upended when he was bowled over by Pete Rose at the 1970 All-Star Game, has died. He was 74. Carol Fosse, his wife of 51 years, said in a statement online that Fosse died Wednesday after a 16-year bout with cancer.<\/p>\n
Fosse was a budding talent for Cleveland when he made his first All-Star team as a 23-year-old in 1970, the same year he hit .307 with a career-high 18 homers and won the first of two Gold Gloves.<\/p>\n
Rose barreled over him to score the winning run in the 12th inning of the exhibition at Cincinnati\u2019s Riverfront Stadium.<\/p>\n
Fosse fractured and separated his left shoulder, and he told The Associated Press in 2015 his body still ached 45 years later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In world and national news….<\/p>\n
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) \u2014 United Airlines employees who are suing the airline over its vaccine mandate will get more time to make their case. A federal judge in Texas ordered United not to place unvaccinated employees on unpaid leave if they are seeking a medical or religious exemption from mandatory vaccination against COVID-19. The judge said he was acting because United promise not to act against the unvaccinated employees will expire before he can issue a ruling in the case.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Global shares are mostly higher, with European benchmarks tracking gains in Asia. Stocks rose Thursday in Paris, London and Tokyo, while Shanghai shares were little changed after the release of data showing producer price inflation at a record high 10.7% in September, mainly due to surging coal prices. Singapore’s Monetary Authority tightened its policy, citing price pressures. Concerns about inflation and how price pressures might affect central bank policy, consumer spending and corporate profits remain a key focus for investors. Economists have been trimming economic growth estimates in response. Oil prices resumed their upward push, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury was steady at 1.54%.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) \u2014 Taiwanese authorities say that a building fire in southern Taiwan that blazed out of control for hours overnight has killed at least 46 people. Officials said Thursday that at least 41 people were also injured in the fire that engulfed the 13-story building in the major southern city of Kaohsiung. A fire department statement described the fire, which started about 3 a.m., as \u201cextremely fierce\u201d and said several floors had been destroyed. The death toll rose steadily during the day as rescue workers searched the combined commercial and residential building. The building\u2019s age and piles of debris complicated search and rescue efforts, local media said quoting officials.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
MANILA, Philippines (AP) \u2014 Disaster response officials in the Philippines say that a tropical storm has left at least 19 people dead. Authorities say they are still investigating a further 11 deaths that may have been caused by the tropical storm Kompasu, which triggered landslides and flash floods as it barreled over the northern tip of the Asia-Pacific islands on Monday. Another 14 people have been reported missing in the Philippines. Kompasu also left one person dead in Hong Kong as it reached typhoon strength while crossing open sea south of the Chinese city on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BANGKOK (AP) \u2014 After sending a record number of military aircraft to harass Taiwan over China\u2019s National Day holiday, Beijing has toned down the saber rattling but tensions remain high, with the rhetoric and reasoning behind the exercises unchanged. Experts agree a direct conflict is unlikely at the moment, but also that the future of self-ruled Taiwan is increasingly becoming a powder keg where a mishap or miscalculation could lead to confrontation while Chinese and American ambitions are at odds. China seeks to return the strategically and symbolically important island and the U.S. sees Taiwan in the context of broader challenges from China. Leader Xi Jinping on the weekend again emphasized reunification of the nation must and will be realized.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has dissolved the lower house of parliament for Japan\u2019s first elections of the pandemic. At stake Oct. 31 will be how Japan faces a potential coronavirus resurgence and revives its battered economy, and if or how Kishida\u2019s government can leave the shadow of nearly nine years of Abe-Suga rule. Campaigning begins Tuesday. Kishida said he is seeking a mandate after being elected by parliament only 10 days ago. The ruling coalition won about two-thirds of the chamber in the last election, but his party’s support has been battered by a perceived high-handed approach to the pandemic. Japanese opposition parties see the election as a way to change politics.<\/p>\n

KONGSBERG, Norway (AP) \u2014 Police say a Danish man suspected of a bow-and-arrow attack on a small Norwegian town that killed five people and wounded two others is a Muslim convert who was previously flagged as having been radicalized. Police chief Ole B. Saeverud told a news conference that the motive for the attack has not yet been determined, however. The man is suspected of having shot at people in a number of locations in the town of Kongsberg on Wednesday evening. The dead were four women and one man. The community of some 26,000 inhabitants, is about 66 kilometers (41 miles) southwest of Oslo.<\/p>\n
