The San Jose Sharks hope they’ve shored up one of their most problematic areas from last season as they signed goalie Mackenzie Blackwood to a two-year contract worth $2.35 million per year.Blackwood will make $2.2 million in salary this upcoming season and $2.5 million in 2024-25. He and the Sharks came to terms just minutes before Blackwood was set to become an unrestricted free agent at 9 a.m. (PDT).Blackwood was acquired by the Sharks from the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday for a sixth-round draft pick this year but was a pending restricted free agent in need of a new contract. Although Blackwood was not given a qualifying offer by the Sharks on Friday, the two sides continued to talk and were able to get a deal done.“Mackenzie is a big, athletic goaltender with a lot of potential and upside,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said in a statement. “He will be a good addition to our goaltender group.”Going into the first day of free agency on Saturday, the Sharks had only one...Drive sober or get pulled over: DC police push importance of sober driving during holiday weekend

LONDON (AP) — Former Barcelona and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas announced his retirement from soccer on Saturday at the age of 36 — nearly 20 years after making his debut for Arsenal as a 16-year-old.The 2010 World Cup winner made the announcement on Twitter, one year into a two-year contract he signed last summer with Italian second-division team Como. “It is with great sadness that the time has come for me to hang up my playing boots,” Fabregas said. After joining Arsenal from Barcelona’s youth academy, he became the London club’s youngest player when he made his debut in a League Cup game in October 2003 at the age of 16 years, 177 days. He went on to become Arsenal captain but left the club to return to Barcelona in 2011, a year after after helping Spain win the World Cup in South Africa. He was also a part of the Spain teams that won back-to-back European Championships in 2008 and 2012.At Barcelona he won the 2012-13 Spanish league title but left the club to retur...Australia rips out top order in England chase of 371 after injured Lyon bats at Lord’s

LONDON (AP) — A masterclass of pace bowling put Australia on course to go 2-0 up in the Ashes after an England team chasing 371 runs to win was reduced to 114-4 in the second test at Lord’s on Saturday.Australia thought it had a fifth wicket 13 minutes before stumps when Mitchell Starc caught Ben Duckett’s ramp on the fine leg boundary. Starc made the moving catch on his knees but scraped the ball along the ground to slow his skid. That lack of control made the third umpire decide it wasn’t a clean catch.Duckett was unbeaten on 50 after he also was almost caught in the first over, and captain Ben Stokes on 29. They rescued England from 45-4 to trail by 257 at stumps.“There’s always hope with Ben there, two Bens there, Jonny (Bairstow) coming in and the bowlers,” England batting coach Marcus Trescothick said. “If someone can get a big score, we can challenge them.”On an extraordinary fourth day, an injured Nathan Lyon batted in obvious pain for an Australia te...Knicks are trading former lottery pick and fan favorite Obi Toppin to Pacers, AP source says

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks are trading Obi Toppin to the Indiana Pacers, dealing away a former lottery pick who was loved by fans but never as much by coach Tom Thibodeau.The Knicks will get back two second-round picks, a person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the trade is not yet official.It was first reported by ESPN.Toppin was the No. 8 pick in the 2020 draft after winning national player of the year honors at Dayton. But when that season ended early and his first professional one was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Toppin lost out on vital time to expand his skills and earn Thibodeau’s confidence.He was also stuck playing behind All-Star Julius Randle, so playing time was hard to come by. Toppin made only 15 starts in his three seasons in New York.Fans desperately wanted more, often chanting his name at Madison Square Garden in hopes of seeing the acrobatic ...Latest news
