NHL Playoffs

As the Dallas Stars aimed to even the score in their Western Conference playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights, they suffered a potential setback with the injury to winger Mason Marchment. The undisclosed issue forced Marchment to exit Game 2 early in the third period, leaving his status for the remainder of the series uncertain. Marchment, a key contributor to the Stars’ offensive depth, had been skating on the second line alongside the likes of Jamie Benn and Joe Pavelski.

In the heat of the NHL playoffs race, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby continues to cement his legacy as a hockey icon. His recent performances have drawn high praise from former NHL defenseman P.K. Subban, who lauded Crosby as the embodiment of the league’s past, present, and future. Crosby, the Cole Harbor native, has been instrumental in guiding the Penguins through a grueling battle for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
