For the first time in two decades, the Canes are bringing the Stanley Cup to Raleigh after taking down the Vegas Golden Knights, 3-0, in Game 6 on Sunday night.
It took just over three minutes for the Hurricanes to drown out the rowdy Vegas crowd, as one-time Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall found the back of the net for the early lead.

Offense was slow for quite a while, but with just under seven minutes to go in the second, it was Jackson Blake who gave the Canes a 2-0 lead. Vegas did themselves hardly any favors in the second period, recording just three shots on goal.
This series had been no stranger to blown leads, but those were on the Golden Knights side. This Carolina team was not letting go of anything, and proved as such by killing a key Vegas power play midway through the third.
Vegas pulled Carter Hart with about three minutes to go, officially entering desperation mode, but nothing worked, and Nikolaj Ehlers scored an empty-netter to start the party. Rookie goaltender Brandon Bussi continued to stand on his head and preserved the shutout.

One of those blown leads was a 4-0 lead in Game 3 that Vegas absolved with a double-overtime goal. The other, though, may just be the difference in this series.

Bussi, who played in less than half the Canes’ games in the regular season, did not see the ice at all in the playoffs until taking Frederik Andersen’s spot in Game 3. In the biggest game of his life, he stepped up
In Game 2, the Golden Knights were up 2-0 with 10 minutes left in the third period, but Carolina scored three goals to take the lead. Vegas tied it to force overtime, but the extra period did not go their way.

Rod Brind-Amour became the 14th person to win a Stanley Cup as both a player and a head coach (not including player-coaches), and the first to do so since Larry Robinson in 2000 with the New Jersey Devils.
He also is just the seventh person to win the Cup coaching the team he won it with as a player. No one had done that since Toe Blake did it with the Montreal Canadiens 70 years ago.

It’s a long-awaited breakthrough for the Hurricanes, who made the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season after missing it in each of the previous nine. In this span, they had lost three conference finals and three semifinals, despite constantly being a common pick to win it all.

This time, though, they finally battled for Lord’s Stanley and did everything they could to snatch it.
The New York Yankees released the latest details of a fresh setback that delayed Giancarlo Stanton’s return to the lineup. The slugger underwent tests on Saturday following a strain to calf on the previous day while running bases.
According to manager Aaron Boone, on Tuesday, Stanton, who has been sidelined since April 24, “reinjured” himself. The Yankees will take a cautious approach to his rehab this week.

“Honestly if he ever comes back they should limit him to only jogging around the bases. He’ll get thrown out a lot, but maybe he will mash enough home runs to be worth it,” a fan opined.

Stanton, still signed to the 13-year, $325 million contract with the Miami Marlins, has managed just 764 games, amounting to 84.9 games per season for the Yankees in nine years. He has hit 189 home runs during that spell for the club but never truly unlocked his real potential that was on display in his early years with the Marlins.
Giancarlo Stanton’s return timeline in jeopardy after latest setback
According to Stanton himself, he had hoped to get back into the lineup for the Yankees 12-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. But that is likely to be postponed for a prolonged period. Another report by SNY said that the pain level for Stanton was bad as it was at the beginning of the injury.

Giancarlo Stanton said he was planning on returning to the lineup as soon as tomorrow before his latest setback. Now it’s unclear when he’ll be back in uniform.
Stanton was off to a decent start this season. In 24 games played, the 36-year-old had three home runs and 14 RBIs before his injury.
Fortunately for the Yankees, despite injuries to major figures like Stanton and Aaron Judge, the club is still in first place of the AL East with a 44-27 record.

The Minnesota Vikings hired a new general manager, Nolan Teasley, earlier this month, and it didn’t take long for Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s replacement to tweak the roster. Teasley onboarded a new tight and defensive tackle, with about six weeks to go before the start of training camp.
NBC Sports‘ Josh Alper wrote Tuesday, “The Vikings did some roster shuffling on Tuesday. They announced that they have signed tight end Marshall Lang and defensive lineman Jahvaree Ritzie.”
“The two players are joining the team at the end of the offseason program and will have more work to look forward to at this summer’s training camp. The Vikings waived offensive tackle Caleb Etienne and defensive lineman Monkell Goodwine in corresponding moves.”

Here’s what to know about those additions.
Vikings Add More Size to Both Sides of the Ball

Marshall Lang (TE)
Lang is a big tight end who will firmly fit on the roster bubble. He spent five seasons at Northwestern, gradually increasing his involvement after a quiet freshman year. From 2022 to 2024, he developed into a reliable receiving option, concluding his college career with 48 catches, 491 yards, and 4 touchdowns. While these statistics aren’t utterly spectacular, they were sufficient to attract NFL interest. He was also a teammate of new Vikings offensive tackle Caleb Tiernan at Northwestern.
His physical attributes are also a plus. Lang stands 6’4″, weighs approximately 250 pounds, and possesses solid athletic test results. His size is adequate for a backup tight end role. Following the 2025 NFL Draft, Seattle initially signed him, then cut him in August, re-signed him, and cut him again. New England also cycled him through their practice squad, eventually signing him to a futures deal before releasing him in April 2026.

His career path thus far has been typical for an undrafted tight end: bouncing between practice squads and aspiring to some long-term staying power, without securing a permanent NFL roster spot. The Vikings are likely evaluating him as a low-risk option, considering his size and blocking potential. That’s what June free-agent signings are for.
Lang has never taken an NFL snap in the regular season.
Jahvaree Ritzie (DT)
Ritzie, a developmental defensive lineman, brings enough collegiate production to add a bit of intrigue to the Vikings’ summer roster.

He played four seasons at North Carolina, appearing in 51 games and evolving from a rotational player into a significant contributor on the front seven. His senior season was particularly impressive: 40 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, an interception, 2 pass deflections, and 2 forced fumbles.

Undrafted in 2025, Ritzie initially signed with the Patriots, landed on their practice squad, and was released in early September. Pittsburgh later signed him to a futures contract in January but waived him in May.
Ritzie obviously isn’t a can’t-miss superstar. His journey reflects the typical NFL grind for players on the roster bubble: possessing good size and some college highlights, experiencing short tours with teams, and continuously searching for the right fit. For Minnesota, his appeal is apparent. Ritzie offers power and sufficient pass-rush production to warrant a closer look. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores can always utilize another big player capable of disrupting opposing offenses. Flores did the same thing in recent months by signing Isaiahh Loudermilk, Eric Johnson, Smith Vilbert.
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein noted on Ritize before the 2025 NFL Draft, “Ritzie put together solid production in his first season as a full-time starter. He plays with adequate early hands and good base width to take on blocks but sets shallow anchors against add-on blockers that prevent him from effectively defending his turf.”
“Ritzie isn’t quick enough or explosive enough for me to project disruption from him in either phase. He might be fighting for a back-end roster spot in camp.”

Like Lang, Ritzie does not have regular season experience.
The Updated TE Room
The Vikings have a full house at tight end, which is why Lang must stand off the page at training camp and in the preseason to have a shot at the active roster. Here’s the pecking order in mid-June:
T.J. Hockenson
Josh Oliver
Ben Yurosek
Gavin Bartholomew
Bryson Nesbit
Marshall Lang
Lang will basically have to outperform Yurosek or Bartholomew in the coming months, a task most wouldn’t consider insurmountable. Minnesota, too, could keep four tight ends on the 53-man roster, strengthening Lang’s case for the first regular season action of his young career.

The DTs

Minnesota has been on a heater in adding new interior defensive linemen since April. The club cut ties with Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave in March, but that was just the beginning. Here’s the group at the moment:
Jalen Redmond
Caleb Banks
Domonique Orange
Levi Drake Rodriguez
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Isaiahh Loudermilk
Eric Johnson
Smith Vilbert
Taki Taimani
Elijah Williams
Jahvaree Ritzie
Ritize faces an extremely long shot to make the active roster, mainly because Redmond, Banks, Orange, Rodriguez, and Ingram-Dawkins seem uncuttable. However, like Lang, a practice squad assignment is within reach.
Lang will turn 25 in October, and Ritzie celebrated his 23rd birthday in January.

MANILA, Philippines—Kang Sohwi and South Korea are determined to continue rebuilding their winning culture after losing their spot in the Volleyball Nations League.
Kang led the South Korean’s perfect title run in the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Women’s Cup in Candon City over the weekend.

The Korean captain emerged as the tournament Most Valuable Player and Best Outside Hitter, dropping 14 points to sweep Chinese Taipei, 25-19, 25-19, 25-22, on Sunday night.
Kang said one of the team’s biggest motivations was losing its place in the VNL last year.
“While we were in the VNL, we were losing very many games. Our confidence were really low that I felt that the value and the value of the wins in the AVC every time we won, we tried our best to take the ranking points and I’m really happy that we were able to achieve this goal in this competition,” said Kang through an interpreter.
“There were very hard moments, but with all the national team members here, I’m really happy that we were able to have this very meaningful and valuable result today,” she added.

After a perfect campaign, the Koreans hope to continue earning ranking points and building chemistry ahead of the Asian Games in September.
“Every time we won in each game, our teammates had this fire in their eyes that we’re able to do it. And I was able to catch their expression showing confidence. I hope we’ll bring this good energy into the Asian Games; probably, we’ll have a good result then,” said Kang.
Kang also expressed her gratitude to the Filipino fans in Candon, who supported South Korea throughout the tournament.

The co-hosts’ star player shone in the first-half of USA’s 4-1 win against Paraguay in Los Angeles but was withdrawn by Mauricio Pochettino at half-time due to a calf problem. However, the knock is not thought to be too serious.

“He received a kick in his calf and he felt tight at the end of the first half,” Pochettino said. “We didn’t want to take any risks. It was difficult for him to walk, but we hope that it is not a big issue and he can be ready for the next one.”

Pulisic later told reporters: “I just got a bit of a kick in the first half, so I’m really hoping that it’s nothing. Taking a little bit of precaution today, but I’m hoping I’ll be fine the next few days.”
The United States next face Australia in San Francisco on Friday, with Pulisic currently in individual training. A team spokesman described Pulisic as “day to day” after his second straight day on his own.

Cal Raleigh, making his return from his first career stint on the injured list, hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Tuesday night.
Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (5-4) allowed one run on two hits over seven innings with one walk and a season-high 10 strikeouts to get the victory.
Seattle closer Andres Munoz allowed a one-out, infield single by Adley Rutschman in the ninth before striking out Pete Alonso and getting Samuel Basallo to ground out to short. It was Munoz’s 11th save of the season.
Orioles starter Brandon Young (5-2) lost for the first time in eight starts since April 30. The right-hander was charged with three runs on four hits in six-plus innings, with four walks and two strikeouts.
The Orioles’ Taylor Ward hit the game’s first pitch high off the wall in left field for a double. Ward moved to third on a groundout by Rutschman and, after a walk to Alonso, scored on Basallo’s two-out single to right.

Gilbert retired the next 16 batters he faced before hitting Alonso with a pitch leading off the seventh. After Basallo fouled out to third, Gilbert struck out Leody Taveras and Colton Cowser to get out of the inning.
The Mariners tied it in the third as Miles Mastrobuoni and J.P. Crawford drew one-out walks. After Raleigh lined out to third, Julio Rodriguez singled to left to make it 1-1.
Young allowed only one other hit — a two-out single by Crawford in the fifth — until Victor Robles led off the seventh with an infield single on a hard-hit ball that deflected off third baseman Blaze Alexander. Rookie Colt Emerson then lined a single to left, ending Young’s night.

The Orioles brought in lefty Grant Wolfram and Mastrobuoni put down a sacrifice bunt to advance both runners. Crawford walked to load the bases for Raleigh, who lined an 0-1 pitch into left-center field to score a pair and make it 3-1. Raleigh was activated before the game after being on the 10-day IL since May 14 with a strained right oblique.
The Mariners were without left fielder Randy Arozarena, who was placed on the IL (left hamstring strain) shortly before the game, along with first baseman Josh Naylor (right wrist discomfort) and outfielder Luke Raley (lower back tightness).
