SAN JOSE, CA – The Anaheim Ducks beat the San Jose Sharks defense and Yaraslov Askarov three times in the second period to come away with another preseason win against the Sharks 5-2. San Jose was still testing certain pieces and line combinations Wednesday night as the preseason winds down. 

The Sharks took to the ice Wednesday night at SAP Center in their third-to-last preseason game. On the back end of a home-and-home with the Anaheim Ducks, some more Sharks rookies looked to put their skills on display. 

The Sharks lost their second game of the preseason Monday night in Anaheim by a score of 3-2. Pavol Regenda and Adam Gaudette scored Monday night for San Jose which was exciting to see, two new Sharks getting on the score sheet during the preseason. Regenda’s goal came on a deflection on the powerplay giving the Sharks momentum on the man advantage that they took to Wednesday’s tilt. 

Although team teal went just 1-5 on the powerplay, there were a lot of quality scoring opportunities on five tries. The powerplay goal came from William Eklund from Tyler Toffoli and Will Smith 50 seconds into the third period. 

That put the Sharks within two of the Ducks as they held a 3-0 lead going into the third period. The Ducks scored three goals on broken down defensive plays by San Jose leaving Yaraslov Askarov helpless in the net. 

Coach Ryan Warsofsky confirmed that Askarov was not the Sharks’ problem in the second. Tyler Toffoli added that there were too many turnovers leading to breakaways and eventually the goals against. 

The Sharks got one more in the third to get within one, off the stick of Jeff Skinner. Skinner golfed a one-time pass from Philipp Kurashev into the back of the net which ended up being the last goal the Sharks scored. Anaheim netted two empty netters late in the third and came away with their second straight preseason win against San Jose. 

The Sharks hit the road and take on Vegas and Utah on back-to-backs starting Friday night at T-Mobile Arena to wrap up the preseason. 

Puck drop at 7:00pm Friday night in Vegas.

Utah Hockey Club’s Mammoth Summer

Utah Hockey Club’s Mammoth Summer

SALT LAKE CITY–From a new name and logo to the fourth pick in the NHL Draft to roster moves to stadium renovation to a new practice facility, Utah has had an active offseason.

It has been nearly five months since the Utah Hockey Club celebrated its NHL Draft Lottery win which catapulted them to the fourth overall pick from the 14th slot. Two days later the team announced the results of fan voting for naming the franchise, with Mammoth the clear winner over the Outlaws or retaining the Utah Hockey Club moniker, the popular Yeti option having been eliminated due to a trademark conflict with the Yeti coolers company.

No sooner did the NHL and NBA regular seasons draw to a close, Smith Entertainment Group embarked upon a major Delta Center renovation to the lower bowl area of the arena in order to improve sight lines for hockey. More on that later.

Six Utah Mammoth players represented their nations in the 2025 IIHF World Championship tournament which took place in May, with captain Clayton Keller and forward Logan Cooley leading Team USA to its first gold medal in 92 years. Michael Kesselring and Josh Doan also represented the Americans while Barrett Hayton skated for Team Canada and Karel Vejmelka handled netminding duties for Czechia.

On June 25, Utah made a splash in the trade market, sending Kesselring and Doan to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for JJ Peterka. The 23-year-old German forward who had been a restricted free agent immediately signed a five year contract extension worth $7.7 million/year.

Peterka has already scored 30 goals twice in his NHL career and is expected to provide added punch to a young lineup which already features Keller, Cooley, and sniper Dylan Guenther.

On June 27, the Mammoth selected center Caleb Desnoyers of the QMJHL Moncton Wildcats with the fourth overall pick in the NHL draft. The Wildcats won the 2025 QMJHL championship with Desnoyers picking up the Guy Lafleur trophy as playoff MVP, having scored 30 points in the playoffs.

Anticipating which players might be selected in the top thre, Utah covertly brought Desnoyers to Salt Lake City as he was en route to Los Angeles for the draft, hosting a dinner for him at the home of General Manager Bill Armstrong together with the team’s scouting staff. In August, Desnoyers underwent an expected wrist surgery which should keep him out of action through December.

On September 10, the Mammoth unveiled its new world class practice facility in Sandy, Utah, located about 20 minutes drive south of Salt Lake City. Though construction is not 100% completed, the facility was sufficiently ready for rookie camp and will be the envy of the league.

In January it will open to the public and be used for community hockey and other ice sports. Brogan Houston of the Deseret News described it as “basically a private rec center.” Houston wrote, “It’s got two ice sheets, an 8,000-square-foot gym, a pool, hot tub, cold tub, sauna, steam room and a top-of-the-line recovery/therapy room.”

The assembled local sports media experienced conflicting emotions while covering the new rink and rookie camp as reports of the shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University just 24 miles away began to spread like wildfire.

On a personal note, I take the University Parkway onramp to northbound Interstate 15 when driving to the Mammoth practice facility and Delta Center, and that morning observed a very large police presence at UVU as I entered the freeway.

At the time I assumed it was just crowd control for the Turning Point USA event which was hosted at the university. Tragically it was something far worse as we came to learn while covering rookie camp. The next day local residents placed 92 American flags all along both sides of the University Parkway overpass in a touching display of community.

On Tuesday this week, local media were invited to a sneak preview of Mammoth and Jazz gear for the new NHL and NBA seasons, and to taste a sampling of the 38 new food items which will make their debut on Thursday as fans attend the first pre-season game at the renovated Delta Center versus the Los Angeles Kings.

The Mammoth pretzel with cheese sauce is amazing! The San Diablo Churro Banana Split is divine! Unfortunately the Thor’s Hammer hickory smoked beef shank was for display only but looked tantalizing. The media toured the ongoing construction inside the arena where the floor has been raised two feet and new modular seating has been constructed in the lower bowl which will be configured differently for hockey and basketball. Somehow or another we were assured that everything will be ready to drop the puck on Thursday night. Continuing modifications to Delta Center will take place next offseason.

Summer has come and gone. The Mammoth are ready to stampede into the 2025-2026 NHL season.

Stanford Cardinal podcast Michael Roberson:

#1 How significant is the “Bill Walsh Legacy” branding for this game in terms of recruiting, alumni engagement, and the rivalry’s narrative between the two programs at SJSU and Stanford?

#2 What happened to SJSU’s defense it didn’t stop or disrupt Stanford’s offense, given Stanford’s struggles in yardage and scoring so far this season?

#3 Which quarterback — Walker Eget for the Spartans or Ben Gulbranson for the Cardinal — had the edge in this matchup, especially in clutch moments (third downs, red zone, late drives)?

#4 How did both teams handle special teams and kicking — did Stanford or SJSU gain an edge via field goals, punts, or kickoff returns?

#5 What adjustments will the coaching staff make as the Cardinal take on the SMU Mustangs (2-2) in Dallas this Sat Oct 11 for a 9:00AM PT kick off. The Mustangs lost to the TCU Frog Horns (3-0) in their last game 35-24 on Sat Sep 20 dropping their record to 2-2. How do you see Stanford matching up with SMU this Saturday?

#1 Which prospects or fringe players for the San Jose Sharks did they use in Saturday’s preseason game to make a strong case for a roster spot, and how might the coaches deploy them in key moments?

#2 How much were the Sharks’ defensive pairings (especially younger defensemen were tested by Anaheim’s speed and transition game, and which matchups proved decisive?

#3 Sharks goaltender Jakub Sharek saved 13 out of 16 shots and allowed three goals. The Sharks Gabriel Carriere was perfect stopping all 14 shots he faced.

#4 Did special teams (power play / penalty kill) play a focal point for either side, and did one team gain an advantage during man‑advantage situations?

#5 Since this was a preseason contest, how did the strategies differ from regular season — more experimentation, looser play, quicker line changes — and which team adapts better to that style?

SF Giants press conference: Buster Posey mum on managerial search and changes

SAN FRANCISCO–Giants President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey kept things close to his chest at the Giants’ end-of-the-year press conference, following the firing of Manager Bob Melvin.

Posey, who just completed his first season in charge of the Giants’ Baseball Operations Department, was accompanied by General Manager Zack Minasian. Posey took questions relating to all matters, from the search for a new manager, to Giants’ players hitting the free agent market, as well as prospects.

Posey confirmed that he plans to talk to potential managerial candidates this week, but did not go into details on the backgrounds of the candidates. Posey seemed to rule out former manager Bruce Bochy returning to the helm in San Francisco after the latter left his post managing the Texas Rangers, where he led them to a world championship in 2023.

Ryan Christenson and Matt Williams, Bob Melvin’s bench coach and third base coach respectively, will also not return next season. Posey did not give an update on the statuses of Bench Coach Pat Burrell and Pitching Coach J.P. Martinez.

Posey did say that the next manager will have agency over their coaching staff. However, Posey did say that he will want to have some input on the matter.

Bryce Eldridge, the Giants’ top prospect who was up with the big club for the final two weeks of the season, will have surgery on his left wrist. His recovery timeline is expected to be roughly eight weeks. Minasian said the Giants will remain open minded to Eldridge and his place on the team next season.

Other prospects, such as catcher Jesus Rodriguez and starting pitcher Blade Tidwell, both acquired at the Trade Deadline this season, will also get a look in Spring Training next year. Posey mentioned that Rodriguez “[did] not have a ton of experience behind the plate, but [was] a hard worker.”

Posey did not give a timetable on when a new manager will be announced. As for player moves, free agency does not start until after the conclusion of the World Series.

Aces Head Into WNBA Finals With Hard Fought Win Over Fever In Overtime 107-98

LAS VEGAS–The Las Vegas Aces (3-2) beat the Indiana Fever (2-3) in overtime 107-98 Tuesday night to punch their ticket to the WNBA Finals which will begin on Friday October 3rd. The Aces will be looking for their third title in four years.

Both teams fought tooth and nail in this gritty game by both teams. This had to be one of the toughest games Las Vegas has played all season and they won it together. The best news of all, the Aces will have home court advantage with the number one seeded Lynx losing their series.

Game recap: At the end of the first quarter this game was tied at 23. There were six ties in the opening quarter as this game see-sawed back and forth with the two teams trading leads.

The second quarter was also remarkable with more of the same, a hotly contested game. The Aces won the second quarter by the slimmest of points 24-22 taking a 47-45 lead into the locker room at the half.

The Aces were protecting the ball well with only five turnovers in the first half while the Fever was struggling with ten. Both A’Ja Wilson and Jackie Young were having outstanding games. The Aces biggest lead of the game in the first half was 5 points.

They would start the third quarter on a bit of a sour note however when Chelsea Gray suffered an injury that sent her off to the locker room for evaluation and treatment. It appeared that she had injured her foot and the team was waiting for more word.

As the third quarter wore on the Aces had taken their largest lead of the game 59-52 with 6:20 left on the clock. With just under six minutes left in the quarter Wilson and Young had each scored 18 points. Chelsea Gray had made her way back out to the bench and checked back into the game in obvious pain but determined to get back out on the floor.

With five minutes left in the third quarter the Fever suffered more woes. Aliyah Boston committed her fifth foul and Kelsey Mitchell went down with what seemed to be cramps. Mitchell’s knee had appeared to be giving her trouble in the later minutes of the quarter.

A gurney was actually rolled out on the court. Mitchell was finally able to get to her feet after what seemed like an eternity. She needed a lot of help getting back to the locker room and it was just another horrible blow for the Fever who had fought injury all season long.

She was unable to put weight on her left quad but was also having pain in her right knee, possible cramping. Despite the setbacks the Fever fought back pulling to within four points with a minute left in the quarter. After three quarters, the Aces had a 71-63 lead. It would all come down to the fourth quarter.

The Fever pulled to within five points of Las Vegas in the fourth quarter 73-68 but the Aces pushed their lead back out to 77-68 with 7:00 left in the game. With three minutes left in the game the Fever had fought to within two points 82-80.

When it looked like the Aces had this game in hand, the Fever came roaring back. With 52 seconds left in the game this matchup was tied at 84 and the Aces season was on the line. Both teams fought to the bitter end of regulation and with the score tied at 86 this game went into overtime.

Fever head coach Stephanie White got her team going right after the Mitchell injury. During a time-out she inspired her players to play for each other, and they sure answered the call. They played incredible final minutes of the fourth quarter and they were outstanding not only offensively but defensively.

The Aces scored the first points of the overtime taking a 92-89 lead. With under two minutes left in the game Las Vegas had a 97-93 lead. The Aces continued to push the lead taking a 99-93 lead with 1:09 left on the clock.

The Fever had refused to back off but they were running out of time; the Aces clearly showing their playoff experience and with the lead they could taste the win. Chelsea Gray and Jewell Loyd had scored the first 13 points in overtime.

With 22.6 left in the game, it was a one possession game with the Aces leading 101-98. This was still anyone’s game. The Aces put the finishing touches on this game taking a 105-98 lead with 12 seconds left on the clock.

A lot of credit goes to both of these teams putting on an electric show that went right down to the wire. Wilson finished with 35 points followed by Young who shot for 32. Despite her injury Gray had 17 points and the bench had a combined 18 points. It was an absolute team effort.

The Fever had six players in double digits. The high for Indiana was Odyssey Sims who finished with 27 points. Boston had a double double with 11 points and 16 rebounds. Indiana fought hard from start to finish coming up nine points short.

Game notes: It all came down to the winner who goes to the WNBA final and the loser goes home and the Aces will be making that trip to the WNBA Finals with their win over the Phoenix Mercury.

Tuesday night the second-seeded Aces defeated the Fever and will make the trip to the WNBA finals. Wilson had an amazing game in their loss in game four finishing with 31 points and nine rebounds.

She got even more in game five leading with 35 points and the entire team really stepped up against a determined, skilled Indiana Fever on Tuesday night.

Game four was a close contest throughout the game with the Aces coming out on top 90-83 to tie up the series 2-2 last Sunday in Indianapolis.

The Las Vegas bench featuring Jewell Lloyd and Dana Evans contributed big with Lloyd scoring eight points and Evans with five. Everything was on the line Tuesday night and the Aces pulled it off and advance now to the WNBA Finals..

Friday night Oct 3 the WNBA finals will get underway with the Las Vegas Aces taking on the Phoenix Mercury. The Mercury had won their semi-final series beating the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx last Sunday 3-1.

With the Lynx losing the series, the second-seeded Aces will start this series in game 1 at their home court Michelob ULTRA Arena. Tipoff for this game is scheduled at 5:00 PM.

Kings Emphasize Conditioning as Christie Sets Tone for Camp

By Jeremiah Salmonson

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Kings held their annual media day on Monday and their first practice on Tuesday as they prepare for the 2025-2026 NBA season.

The Kings come into training camp with renewed expectations amid uncertain times for the team. All offseason, the Kings have been mired in trade discussions surrounding Devin Carter, Malik Monk, and Jonathan Kuminga. On media day, much speculation remained as Kuminga was not in attendance at the Warriors’ media day, and his future was uncertain.

However, on Tuesday, news came down that Kuminga had inked a new two-year deal with the Warriors. Scott Perry spoke with us on Monday about how he is set with the team he has in camp already.

“As we sit here today, this is our team and I’m excited about what we have going into this year. And again, my job each and every day is to listen, see what’s happening out there, can we get better? But I’m pleased going into training camp…”

Well, after Tuesday’s decision from Kuminga, the Kings will need to be happy with what they have in camp.

One area the Kings feel they significantly upgraded after the end of last season is the point guard spot. After trading De’Aaron Fox last season, the Kings were without a main point guard until they signed Dennis Schröder this offseason to a three-year deal. Schröder is expected to be the Kings’ starting point guard come opening night.

The Kings have a number of unanswered questions going into the season with a roster that hasn’t shown they can mesh as a cohesive product on the court. Last season, the Kings’ lack of defense and unpredictable, stale offense led to concerns surrounding the fabric of the roster and whether it needed to be torn down and rebuilt. The Kings have been clear they see no need to enter into a full rebuild. The line from GM Scott Perry since his hiring is that they expect to be “opportunistic and prudent” in their pursuit of players.

During media day and Monday’s practice, the Kings made it clear they think guys like Dennis Schröder fit the pillars they are preaching and want the players to put into action in order to compete.

“From myself and Scott, we are going to be the best-conditioned team in the NBA, one of the top ones for sure,” Head Coach Doug Christie said after practice to the media on Tuesday afternoon. “So trying to figure that out and them buying into that has been a message that they received since I took over and Scott was the general manager.”

The message is clear from the Kings: play with pace, but not just on the offensive end—on the defensive side of the ball too. When the media walked into practice, the Kings were running drills on fast-break sprints. It was a demonstration of what the team had talked about when wanting to be one of the best-conditioned teams in the league, and they were showing it for all to see.

Time will tell if the players buy into the messages from the coaching staff and front office. As we have seen before recently in Sacramento, the players must lead the accountability. Having a voice drill a mindset into you only goes so far; the players must hold each other accountable.
