Nazem Kadri’s injury opened a spot in the lineup, and Burakovsky was tabbed to return to the ice. He did not disappoint on Wednesday. Burakovksy scored the biggest goal of the playoffs so far for Colorado, slamming home an overtime winner in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Lightning. The forward had played the fewest minutes among the players on the top three lines, but he came through to give the Avs a 4-3 win and a 1-0 series lead....

Since Chip Kelly became one-and-done and dragged Trent Baalke out the door with him, the 49ers already have showed signs they struck gold with their new coach-GM combination. San Francisco’s mission was to mine as much talent as possible with three years down the line in mind. Although the offensive-minded Shanahan may need to wait to develop his ideal attack, the defensive-driven Lynch has stockpiled well for an equally massive transition on the other side of the ball....

The 54-year-old will step down at the end of October, following a decade at Emirates Stadium, and begin work with Milan on December 1. Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham will head up football operations at Arsenal, taking up the head of football and managing director roles respectively. Sanllehi, a former director of football at Barcelona, joined the Gunners as head of football relations in February, while Venkatesham is currently the club’s chief commercial officer....

Hughes, who was appointed in March, was dismissed on Monday despite Saints claiming a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the weekend. Hasenhuttl replaces him having impressed in his last managerial job in Germany with RB Leipzig, as he led them to second place in the Bundesliga in his first season in charge, and the club’s debut campaign in the top flight. The Austrian departed in May having guided Leipzig to another respectable final position of sixth, and he arrives at Southampton with a strong reputation....

Lehmann initially signalled an intention to continue in his role after Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were sent home from South Africa in disgrace for their roles in a pre-meditated plan that saw the latter attempt to alter the condition of the ball during the third Test in Cape Town.

There has been no race action in the F1 season as of yet due to the coronavirus pandemic, but with many drivers’ contracts coming to an end in 2021, teams are beginning to shuffle their packs ahead of next year. Ferrari confirmed on Tuesday that former world champion Sebastian Vettel would be leaving the team upon the expiration of his contract. Sainz has been widely tipped to be Vettel’s replacement and that switch appears to be edging closer, after McLaren announced the Spaniard would be bringing an end to his two-year stay at the team, with Ricciardo drafted in to race alongside Lando Norris from 2021....

The Brazil forward was withdrawn in the 12th minute of the Selecao’s 1-1 friendly draw with Nigeria on Sunday.

The ex-Barcelona forward did not make his first appearance until September, having attempted to force a move away from the club he joined for a world-record €222million fee in 2017....

The Finn is in his second spell with Ferrari, having won the 2007 world title with the Italian team during his initial stint. Raikkonen rejoined in 2014 to partner Fernando Alonso and has worked alongside Sebastian Vettel for the past three years, though the 38-year-old’s departure does not signal the end of his F1 career. Sauber followed up Ferrari’s update by confirming they have signed Raikkonen - who sits third in this year’s championship standings - on a two-year deal....

Unfortunately, I can’t comment on Ms. Faludi’s theory–I’m too busy. Indeed, the only thing draped over my body these days is a Snuggli, the occupant of which is my 11-month-old daughter, Audrey. And she’s got me running. No, this is not another of those stay-at-home-dad diaries, a charming collection of self-effacing observations about how wacky it is to wear the culottes in the family. To be honest, I’m not in a very charming mood these days....

Below, find the full list of players who can be included in deals starting Jan....

Bradley started and played a full 90 minutes, but AS Roma saw its perfect record tarnished in a 1-1 draw against Torino. With Francesco Totti sidelined, Roma manager Rudi Garcia gave Bradley his first start in two months, a period of time Bradley spent mostly on the sidelines due to the serious ankle sprain he suffered while on U.S. national team duty. In the Netherlands, Aron Johannsson failed to find the net for a second straight league match for AZ, but he isn’t likely to mind too much....

Australia captain Michael Clarke Thursday said he didn’t think of Don Bradman and Mark Taylor‘s record when he made a surprise declaration and all that he thought was to give his bowlers enough time to dismiss India for a second time and win the second Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Clarke was unbeaten on 329 and Australia were 659 for four when he decided to make India bat in the second innings....

The November election returns weren’t even in when the presidential contenders came calling. Michigan is a key battleground state, and having a Democratic governor could make the difference in 2004. Michigan voters like independent, no-nonsense candidates, attributes that Granholm displayed as attorney general before making her bid for governor. A compelling mix of tough-minded prosecutor and down-to-earth mom, she cracked down on gas gougers after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, staged a sting on retailers who sold adult-rated video-games to minors and pressured Abercrombie & Fitch to stop selling its sexually explicit catalog to minors in Michigan....

The man who broke England’s hearts by clubbing four successive sixes off Ben Stokes in the last over of the 2016 World T20 final was at it again in Manchester, but the terminal shot in his 101 will haunt Brathwaite like his own name will always give Stokes nightmares. With one wicket to spare, West Indies needed six runs from seven deliveries for an improbable victory on Saturday, and Brathwaite - who had creamed 25 off the bowling of Matt Henry in the previous over - caught hold of a short delivery from James Neesham that was begging to be hit....
