Alex Ovechkin Scores Juggling Goal From Impressive Angle
Alex Ovechkin returned yesterday after missing two games due to injury and scored his 36th goal of the season with excellent precision. Ovechkin was perpendicular to the goal opening, yet reeled in the puck before flicking it in off of Canadiens goalie Carey Price's back for a 1-0 lead....

Erik Karlsson And Mike Green Hug Amid The On-Ice Chaos
This was from Tuesday, but it's still as cute as it was two days ago. While Mikhail Grabovski and Zack Smith tried to rip each other's faces off during the Senators-Capitals game, Ottawa's Erik Karlsson and Washington's Mike Green shared a lovely moment. (Wait for the last replay.)...

How Creighton Created The Craziest, Deadliest Offense In The Country
The box score from last night's Creighton-Villanova game—a game that ended with Creighton upsetting the No. 4 team in the country behind 21 made three-pointers—looks like a fluke.
