GM Brad Treliving signed Stolarz to a four-year extension worth $3.75M AAV one year in advance, which in hindsight was probably a bad move. In 13 games before getting injured, the goaltender posted a terrible .884 SV% and 3.51 GAA. He looked lost in net, especially compared to his previous season where he led the NHL with a .926 SV%.
The trial for two women accused of murdering a boy and assaulting his younger brother, both of whom they were planning to adopt, resumes around 10 a.m. ET. Becky Hamber will be back in the witness box in Ontario Superior Court in Milton.

A member of the public reported the discovery of an antlered white-tailed deer's body to police on Jan. 1 in Park Lawn Cemetery. Officers located a dead deer with an arrow coming out of its body, said Toronto police in an emailed statement, adding there is no suspect description at this time. Ministry conservation officers were notified of the incident and have taken over the investigation.
"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.

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.
