Like the rest of his teammates, the winger has found his stride since the holiday break, and it's come just in time for his return to Utah. Prior to joining the Maple Leafs, Maccelli spent the first four seasons of his NHL career with the Arizona Coyotes now turned Utah Mammoth organization. Suffice it is to say, he should have plenty in the tank for his first game back at Delta Center.
"For me, it is puck management," Berube said during his post-game media availability. "I thought our puck management was really good tonight. We made really good decisions with it. We moved it well. We kept our shifts short. We talked about how it is important to keep your shifts short here, and the guys did a really good job of it."
"You guys know Auston, I don't know how long he's been here [in Toronto] now, but [it feels like] he's been here literally the whole time with me," Lowry said prior to Sunday's game. "I respect the hell out of Auston, and we have a mutual relationship." "You know I had to pay the tribute to my city," Lowry said. "I'm a Maple Leafs guy, and Auston, that's a great jersey. I appreciate him and I wanted to show support for the city."
The Lake Placid event presented unique circumstances, as it consisted of three races in a single week rather than the standard two. Four of our athletes entered in the event are young and relatively new to the sport. All experienced a particularly challenging week on the track,
It was so long ago, but Fluharty had a terrific start to his big league career. Over his first 18.1 innings pitched, the lefty had a 1.96 ERA and 2.97 FIP, with a 26.2 K% and 7.7 BB%. After a few outings in June, Fluharty began to struggle on Jun. 8. From that date until Jun. 30, the final game he pitched in before he was optioned, Fluharty gave up 12 earned runs in 7.1 innings pitched.
A woman in her 80s has died after being struck by a tree branch in Mississauga, said police. Officers responded around 2:30 p.m. on Friday near High Street E. and Lakeshore Road E. for a medical assist call, said Peel police in an emailed statement. They located a woman who had been hit by a tree branch that had fallen due to high winds. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital, said police.
On Jun. 7, the Blue Jays designated Cavan Biggio for assignment, but were able to trade him to the Dodgers for Fisher. After the trade, Fisher posted a 2.76 ERA and 2.83 FIP in 16.1 innings pitched in Double-A, but struggled in Triple-A, posting an ERA above 6, just like he did for the Dodgers' Triple-A team. Fisher had a strong showing in Spring Training, striking out Aaron Judge in his final game.
The outfielder/designated hitter was the first player the Blue Jays ever signed to a nine-figure contract. Although he was productive in both 2021 and 2022, he spent large parts of the season on the shelf, including playing just 78 games in 2021. By 2023, it looked as if Springer was declining. That season, he slashed .258/.327/.405 with 21 home runs in 683 plate appearances, giving him a 103 wRC+ and 1.9 fWAR, both were the worst of his career.
Without the motorized assistive device, an electronic wheel that attaches to the back of her chair, Berg says she has trouble maneuvering up hills or on uneven terrain, meaning the 55-year-old has been virtually housebound for months. "I'm ecstatic to get it back, but I also feel kind of battle-weary," Berg told CBC Toronto. "Why did it have to be like this? I'm exhausted by this three-month process."
In just over a month, millions of Canadians will be gathering to watch ice hockey at the Milano-Cortina Winter Games. Hockey enthusiasts may know Italy is among 12 nations on the men's side that'll be vying for gold, while the host country's women's team is among eight in competition. But what fans may not know is Italy's hockey program has deep and historic ties to Canada, particularly northern Ontario.
So much for the Toronto Raptors' interest in trading for Anthony Davis, as ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Friday that the big man "sustained ligament damage in his left hand." Davis is still waiting to learn if he'll need surgery, meaning he could be out for several months. He suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the Mavericks' loss to the Jazz on Thursday. ESPN reported that if he doesn't need surgery, Davis is "expected" to miss at least six weeks.
Although Hepburn has only appeared in two NBA games for the franchise, he's been a mainstay for the 905 this season. In 18 games (all starts), he's averaged 12.4 points, 8.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals. His strong play on both ends of the floor - third in the G League for assists and steals per game - helped the Raptors 905 get off to a historic 19-0 start as part of earning the No. 1 seed in the Tip-off Tournament
Let's remember where the Blue Jays were when Lauer made his first start on May 17. They were two game under .500. Max Scherzer had only thrown three innings and wasn't set to rejoin the rotation for at least another month. And Bowden Francis was floundering as the number five starter. But at Rogers Centre, in that game against the Detroit Tigers, Lauer pitched three innings of three hit ball and allowed one run in an eventual 2-1 walk-off win for the Blue Jays.

They said the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the site and the driver remained on scene. Residents are being asked to consider alternate routes due to closures at Islington Avenue and Dixon Road.

York police are investigating after a home in Richmond Hill was the target of a shooting for the second time in three months. Just before 5 a.m. Wednesday, officers responded to reports of gunshots on Bryson Drive, in the area of Carville Road and Bathurst Street, York police said in a news release.

Ramin Azizi was at Aerosports Trampoline Park in Scarborough attempting to cross the zipline on an obstacle course. His harness failed, his father said, and the child fell roughly six metres, hitting the ground on his back. Ramin said that while he was lying there, waiting for paramedics to arrive, he was scared he was going to die. I was feeling very traumatized, he told CBC Toronto in an interview on Tuesday.
Nick Robertson is having a great two weeks, which means they need to trade him ASAP before his stock drops. Robertson sits sixth on the Leafs in goals scored this year but nine goals and 20 points halfway through the season doesn't get me excited about the future of this left-winger. The 24-year-old played his first game with Toronto in August, 2020, so we should have seen a much bigger improvement by now.
