Avs beat Maple Leafs in shootout in Toronto after riveting test of defenses

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:14:36 GMT

TORONTO — A few of the newest relics in the Hockey Hall of Fame include a jersey worn by Nathan MacKinnon in the 2022 Stanley Cup-clinching game, a prestigious trophy with a spot reserved for Cale Makar’s engraved name and a burgundy-bejeweled ring.The reminders of Colorado’s accomplishment last season are resting behind glass two blocks away from Scotiabank Arena, where this season’s Avs encountered one of their last major tests of the 2022-23 regular season Wednesday. If they hope to repeat, there’s a chance they’ll have to go through Toronto again after a captivating 2-1 shootout win in which Alexandar Georgiev saved all three shots.Nathan MacKinnon scored the only shootout goal, going five-hole.Overtime, sometimes an overly timid stalemate in the 3-on-3 era, was riveting here. Both offenses remained aggressive. Both defenses were clutch. Valeri Nichushkin nearly scored a rebound winner. Michael Bunting hit a crossbar for the Leafs.With 16 game...

Rockies spring training report: German Marquez sharp vs. Cubs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:14:36 GMT

Like a realtor, Rockies right-hander German Marquez knows what’s important: location, location, location.Earlier in spring training, Marquez told The Post he was mislocating his fastball too often last season, and also noted that he needs “more rise on the four-seam fastball and more sink on the two-seam fastball.”So far this spring training, Marquez is meeting those goals. Tuesday night, he pitched four scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and no walks against the Cubs.“I’ve been working a lot on my delivery, staying behind the ball,” Marquez told MLB.com. “I feel like I had been dropping my fingers a little bit.”A slight hamstring tweak slowed Marquez at the beginning of spring training but in six innings across his two Cactus League starts, he has not allowed a run while fanning nine and walking just one.Position update: Ryan McMahon, who has moved from third base to second to fill the hole left by Brendan Rodgers’ shoulder injur...
