Alex Ovechkin Is On Pace For Yet Another 50-Goal Season
Alexander Ovechkin took over the NHL lead in goals with a late pair, the first tying a sloppy, high-scoring game, and the second giving Washington the 5-4 OT win in Carolina. “It’s almost like whenever he decides to end it,” said his linemate Devante Smith-Pelly,” he can just go do it.”...

The Saints’ Alvin Kamara—the most fun surprise of the NFL season—appeared to have some second thoughts about taking out his first touch of the game on the Bucs’ kickoff.
