He brought the puck from behind the Rangers net, spun around one Montreal player, skated up the left side, cut in toward the front of the Canadiens net and put it past goalie Carey Price while falling to the ice with 2:44 left....

Pique was reportedly set to miss up to a month of action due to a knee injury sustained during Sunday’s La Liga draw with Catalan rivals Espanyol, when he headed the equaliser in a fiery encounter. The 31-year-old was criticised for putting his finger to his lips while celebrating in front of opposition fans, having previously drawn their ire for referring to the club as “Espanyol de Cornella”. Pique came through training on Wednesday and was subsequently named in the Barca squad to face Valencia at Mestalla....

This is the difference between a low-payroll team and a high-payroll team. When Pittsburgh made the decision to part ways with Davis, general manager Neal Huntington told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “we’ve essentially committed to Pedro (at first base),” after Alvarez led the National League in errors at third base for three consecutive seasons. Josh Harrison, who hit .315/.347/.490 and finished ninth in the MVP vote, is moving to the hot corner full time after playing a variety of positions and basically ousting Alvarez from the spot....

The Barclays Center has hosted the conference’s tournament in the past, but recently brokered a deal with both the A-10 and the ACC to be the site of the latter’s conference tournament in 2017 and 2018.

Former Real Madrid and Barcelona midfielder Robert Prosinecki secured a win in his first competitive game in charge, who had just 32 per cent of possession and five shots compared to the hosts’ 26. Haris Duljevic and Elvis Saric punished some slack Northern Ireland defending by scoring either side of half-time, yet Pjanic conceded Prosinecki’s side got out of jail by taking all three points. “We were a little bit lucky; they played a very good game,” the Juventus midfielder told Omnisport....

In front of a capacity crowd at the NSCI in Worli, Naveen Kumar (10 points), Meraj Sheykh (9 points) and Chandran Ranjit (8 points) emerged as the heroes for the Delhi side. Joginder Narwal (5 points) was the top-defender for Delhi. However, it was initially a close contest as Jaipur led 5-3 after the first seven minutes, with some superb defence and tackling. It soon became 8-3 as their raider Deepak Hooda (15 points) continued his successful raids....

Nitin Tomar was the lead raider for the Pune side (Super 10 with 11 raid points), but the defence more than lived up to its billing with Surjeet Singh and Balasaheb Jadhav picking up High 5s in a total domination Puneri Paltan had a storming start to the match, dominating the entire first half, as they produced an all-round performance to thwart all the advances from the Fortune Giants. Nitin Tomar, returning from a knee injury, started the proceedings for the Pune side, while in defence, Girish Ernak, who had been given a rare start after a dip in form, proved he is back to his mean best, pulling off two strong tackles in the early minutes....

Both former champions went into the match after a patchy run of form with more losses than wins in their previous seven matches of season seven but U Mumba’s clever strategy finally paid dividends as they edged past a mistake-prone Patna in a thriller. The first half started brightly for the Pirates with Pardeep Narwal picking up a point in his very first raid and sending Mumbai’s key defender Surinder Singh to the dugout....

Haryana Steelers’ Sunil set the ball rolling for the team with a tackle point in the first minute of the match.

However, the Jaipur Pink Panthers attained a two-point lead early on in the match and they managed to build on it throughout the first half of the game. Sunil pulled off a fantastic tackle in the eleventh minute and ensured that Jaipur don’t run away with the match....

If that is indeed the case, then famed Platinum Games director Hideki Kamiya has publicly stated that he’d be interested in working on the Star Fox franchise. When Kamiya was asked by a follower on Twitter which Nintendo-owned series he would like to work on, he provided the curious gamer with two answers. His first choice, much to the delight of fans everywhere, would be Star Fox. This isn’t the first time Kamiya has expressed interest in working on a Star Fox title either, but now seems as likely a time as ever for Kamiya to get his wish — especially with the current ongoing publishing deal between the two companies....

Babylon’s Fall appears to be a dark fantasy action RPG, judging from the hints in the trailer. The historical records shown tell of the discovery of a power called the “Oversoul.” 500 years of empires rising and falling, gods being birthed into the world and casting their wrath on humanity, plagues, invention, and more follow the Oversoul’s coming. It’s clear that Babylon’s Fall has been provided with a rich and dramatic lore....

This game was a collaboration between Nintendo and PlatinumGames, and while it was initially met with a lot of excitement, Star Fox Zero was critically panned by critics and fans alike after release. Many of the problems stemmed from the game’s incredibly awkward and very difficult control scheme, as it utilized every single aspect of the Wii U. The game was also a commercial failure and was unable to garner interest as a reboot, as the game was retelling Star Fox 64’s story for a second time....

AEK midfielder Giorgos Katidis was handed a relatively light penalty by the Greek football federation on Friday for his controversial Nazi salute after scoring a goal in a league match last month. The federation’s disiplinary committee decided on a five-match ban and a 1,000-euro fine for the 20-year-old player, the lightest possible sanction open to them. The team was cleared of any responsibility and escaped punishment. Katidis gave the Nazi salute to fans after scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 Super League win over Veria on March 16, but has since publicly regretted his action....

Instead, he put on bright yellow — a shirt that matched the color hat his buddy Jarrod Lyle liked to wear when he played. The Aussie golfer died Wednesday night after a long bout with leukemia. Tributes to him were everywhere at Bellerive Country Club, mainly in the form of yellow ribbons that many players pinned to their hats. Fellow Aussie Jason Day lived across the street from Lyle in Orlando during their early playing days....

The issues started with PUBG’s launch, with Greene describing how the game’s server tech was built for a million concurrent users, only to have 3.2 million. “We had to do so much to catch up,” Greene described, noting that, “We were a team of 30, 35 people.” PUBG’s developers were overwhelmed and doing their best. But despite the game’s Early Access status, some players were demanding impossible changes and improvements and blamed the development team for not meeting their expectations....
