Sharks rookie goalie put in difficult spot in first NHL start

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 03:35:36 GMT

SAN JOSE — A little less than a year ago, goalie Magnus Chrona was starting his second game in as many days for the University of Denver. He went on to make 25 saves on Jan. 7, helping the Pioneers earn a 7-2 non-conference win over Alaska-Fairbanks.Thursday, Chrona found himself in a completely different world. He was making his first career NHL start, and within the first few seconds of the opening puck drop, saw Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid come barreling into the San Jose Sharks zone with a full head of steam.The Oilers scored on that opening shift — and continued to pour it on against the rookie goaltender and a reeling and fragile Sharks team.Chrona allowed four goals on 11 shots — not all his fault — before he was mercifully pulled, as Kaapo Kahkonen played the final two periods in what became a 5-0 loss to the Oilers before an announced sellout crowd of 17,435 at SAP Center.The Sharks put xx shots toward Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner but were...

Warriors drubbed by depleted Heat to begin home stand

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 03:35:36 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO —Steve Kerr and Erik Spoelstra grew close over the summer, traveling to the Philippines to coach the USA national team in the FIBA World Cup. They swapped stories, enjoyed bus rides and grabbed beers.It was clear which head coach had the upper hand on Thursday night in the Chase Center, and it wasn’t the one still searching for his best lineups.Spoelstra’s squad threw zones, full-court pressures and traps at Golden State. The Heat snatched the ball from the Warriors and took care of it. They bottled up Steph Curry, were first to 50/50 balls and forced the Warriors into 42% field goal shooting and 24.2% from deep. Golden State stepped on the baseline, lost dribbles, and threw errant passes en route to a pile of early turnovers.Despite playing a Heat team without star Jimmy Butler and rotation players Caleb Martin, Josh Richardson and Kyle Lowry, the Warriors led in the early minutes of the second quarter but never again.To start a seven-game home stand, the Warriors (15...

Prep roundup: St. Patrick-St. Vincent grounds high-flying Fremont-Oakland at Damian Lillard Classic

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 03:35:36 GMT

 St. Patrick-St. Vincent 74, Fremont Oakland 45Christian Trusclair had just splashed one 3-pointer to give St. Patrick-St. Vincent a double-digit lead when he found himself open on the next possession in the third quarter. The 6-foot-2 sniper didn’t hesitate on his second attempt either, letting it fly before watching the ball rip through the net. That pushed SPSV’s lead over Fremont-Oakland to 15, and the rout was on as the Bruins began to run away with the 74-45 victory in the Damian Lillard Classic at Oakland HS. “My teammates set me up to be in those positions,” said Trusclair, who ended the night with 23 points. “We came out there and got the job done.”Fremont only trailed 31-25 at halftime thanks to the individual brilliance and scoring arsenal of Jaylen Wheeler, the Salesian transfer who scored 17 of his game-high 28 in the first half. Wheeler was comfortable making pull-up triples, slashing into space for floaters and stopping on a dime for midrange shots at the elbow. “He w...

Rafael Nadal is trying to be realistic ahead of his 1st tournament in a year at Brisbane

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 03:35:36 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Rafael Nadal is not putting a lot of pressure on himself ahead of his first tournament in more than a year.The 37-year-old Spanish lefthander is set to return at the Brisbane International next week after almost a year out with a hip injury. The 22-time Grand Slam singles champion’s last match was a second-round loss at the Australian Open in January, and Nadal eventually decided to have surgery on his troublesome hip in June.Thousands queued for a glimpse of Nadal on Friday at a fan appearance in downtown Brisbane when Nadal was keen to play down the prospect of a title in the Queensland state capital — or a third Australian Open crown beginning Jan. 14 in Melbourne.“It’s impossible to think about winning tournaments today,” he said. “What’s really possible is to enjoy the comeback. I don’t expect much — one year without being on the court.”But he was quick to mention his Melbourne Park wins when prompted, two against-the-odds titles won in 2009 and...
