Zucker gave Buffalo a 3-2 lead 7:38 into the second period when he tipped Byram’s shot from the right point at about waist level. Quinn added an empty-net goal with 1:54 left for Buffalo, which has four games remaining while Tampa Bay has five.
Kings 3, Predators 2 (SO)
Joel Armia and Scott Laughton scored in regulation and Adrian Kempe had the lone goal in the shootout to lift host Los Angeles past Nashville.
Anton Forsberg made 29 saves and did not surrender a goal in the shootout for the Kings (32-26-19, 83 points), who stretched their point streak to four games (3-0-1) and moved a point ahead of the Predators for the second Western Conference wild-card spot.

Gabriel Vilardi and Jonathan Toews each had a goal and an assist for Winnipeg while Connor Hellebuyck stopped 22 of 24 shots.
The Jets went 3-for-3 on the power play, winning the battle of struggling special-teams units.

As the IPL enters its second week, last year’s finalists, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings, have made a definite statement that this year too, they will be tough to stop. The defending champions Bengaluru started with a bang, making easy meat of Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the Punjab boys have played as if they were never away. Rajasthan Royals too seem to have found new wings under young Riyan Parag. Delhi Capitals, as always, will be in the mix. So too Mumbai Indians, who, as usual, will stumble at the start and then come back strong in the second half of the season.
The teams that have lost both their games so far are the former champions Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders. The teams will have to get their attack right, as early-season pitches are usually good for batting, with the ball coming on nicely. So, while the batters are making merry, it’s also been seen that when there’s a bit of spice in the pitch, like in Guwahati, the batters are all at sea. They are so used to getting on the front foot even before the ball is bowled that, when it rises at them, they struggle to make contact. The spinners haven’t found much joy yet and may have to wait until next month, when the pitches lose their freshness and, with increasing heat, become drier, helping the ball grip and turn.
The Kolkata and Hyderabad teams have struggled a bit with their bowling, and there’s been understandable criticism of their star players not being available to bowl. It’s been a long season for most countries, and the bowlers have borne the load, carrying injuries of some kind. That’s part of sport. However, knowing when the IPL starts and the recovery time needed, it is only fair that a player not fit from day one should withdraw and give the franchise the chance to pick someone else who will be available from the first match itself.
To suggest that the franchise was ‘informed before’ is not a great excuse. And ‘informed before’ is how much before the opening day of the tournament? Playing for the country is paramount and comes before franchise cricket, but don’t the franchises, who open not just their wallets but also their hearts to players and often their families, deserve full commitment? It is also worth remembering that a bowler can bowl only four overs in a match, and if they have bowled a similar number of deliveries in practice without issue, what is stopping them from doing so in the game? As a bowler, you are expected to bowl 56 overs across 14 league games over two months, and, if your team reaches the final, perhaps another two or three games and 12 more overs. C’mon, for a generation that keeps talking about how fit they are, that’s no load at all. Four overs in a match, that too not in one stretch, and that is too much for the body? Man, if the body is that fragile, then best to give it two more months’ rest, isn’t it?
The IPL has been a cash cow not just for the overseas players but for their Boards too. Does the average Indian fan know that Cricket Boards get 10% of the fee a player from their country is bought for? It is not clear whether the BCCI or the franchise pays this commission for issuing the No Objection Certificate.
So, to put this in perspective, over the last couple of seasons, there have been 16 players from Australia bought by the different franchises for a total of Rs. 121.65 crore. There are 12 England players bought at Rs. 68 crore, and from New Zealand, another 12 players for over Rs. 33 crore; from South Africa, 17 players taking home around Rs. 71 crore. There are eight players from West Indies taking around Rs. 59 crore. Do the calculations, and each cricket Board is making a tidy sum just to issue an email saying they have no objection to their player playing in the IPL.
No other T20 league in the world, which has overseas players, pays a single dime to the Boards of the overseas players in their leagues. Not even the Hundred, which had an auction for the first time, since four out of the six teams had Indian owners, so why not milk the cash cow?
We in India love cricket and love the cricketers even more. And yes, there will be insurance for the players, so perhaps the franchise won’t go out of pocket if a player does not play all the games. But surely the time has come for the franchises to get tough and demand some bang for the buck they are giving the player.
Maybe the BCCI needs to step in and, as they have done by banning overseas players for two years for pulling out after being bought at the auction, introduce something similar for players who are not available from the first game of the tournament unless they are on national duty. This will send a strong message to those who think they can take Indian cricket for granted.

इंटरनेट डेस्क। बॉलीवुड के स्टार अभिनेता अक्षय कुमार का अब फिल्म भूत बंगला में अभिनय देखने को मिलेगा। इस फिल्म का मजेदार और खौफ से भरा ट्रेलर रिलीज हो चुका है। फिल्म में अक्षय कुमार के साथ वामिका गब्बी, परेश रावल, तब्बू और राजपाल यादव अपने अभिनय का जलवा दिखाते नजर आएंगे।
फिल्म में 25 साल के बाद अक्षय कुमार और तब्बू एक साथ नजर आएंगे। दोनों ने फिल्म 'हेरा फेरी'' के बाद साथ में काम नहीं किया। एकता कपूर और अक्षय कुमार द्वारा प्रोड्यूस की जा रही इस फिल्म के ट्रेलर लॉन्च पर अक्षय कुमार ने तब्बू को छेड़ते हुए बताया कि क्यों दोनों ने फिल्म 'हेरा फेरी'' के बाद साथ में काम नहीं किया।
इस पर तब्बू ने कहा कि अक्षय मेरी जिंदगी से भूत की तरह गायब हो गए। इसी कारण हम साथ में काम नहीं कर पाए। इस पर अक्षय कुमार ने टोकते हुए कहा कि मैं गायब हो गया, मतलब कुछ भी, भूत नहीं हूं मैं। अक्षय कुमार ने कहा कि हेरा फेरी के बाद ऐसी ही कोई फिल्म नहीं लगी, जिसमें हम दोनों साथ में काम कर सकें।
मेरे लिए अक्षय थोड़े बदल गए हैं: तब्बू
बॉलीवुड की स्टार अभिनेत्री तब्बू ने कहा कि मेरे लिए अक्षय थोड़े बदल गए हैं, क्योंकि अब वे कम शरारती हो गए हैं। हालांकि उन्होंने अक्षर कुमार की फिटनेस की तारीफ की है। उन्होंने कहा कि फिटनेस के मामले में आज भी बिल्कुल वैसे हैं। अक्षय ने तब्बू को लेकर कहा कि फिल्मों में आने से पहले वह उन्हें जानते थे और दोनों साथ में स्ट्रगल के दिनों में डांस सीखने के लिए जाया करते थे दर्शकों को फिल्म भूत बंगला का बेसब्री से इंतजार है।

Apr 6, 2026; San Antonio, Texas, USA; San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) grabs his left shoulder during the first half against the Philadelphia 76ers at Frost Bank Center. Mandatory Credit: Scott Wachter-Imagn Images San Antonio star center Victor Wembanyama missed the second half of the Spurs’ Monday game against the Philadelphia 76ers after sustaining a left rib contusion during a second-quarter collision with the 76ers’ Paul George.
The status of the two-time All-Star moving forward was uncertain.
Wembanyama went to the Spurs’ locker room twice in the second period after the collision but finished the half on the court.
Following San Antonio’s 115-102 victory, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said, “At halftime, I was told he wasn’t coming back. I haven’t heard anything else up to this point. I think it would be a positive that he felt like he could come back, and he played the last four or five minutes of the half. So, that’s a positive from my perspective.”
Wembanyama scored 17 points, grabbed five rebounds and blocked three shots in officially 16 minutes of court time, which counts as an official game for the purpose of postseason award consideration.
Wembanyama, 22, is in the mix for Most Valuable Player in his third year in the NBA. He is now averaging 24.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and a league-high 3.1 blocks per game.
Monday was Wembanyama’s 64th game of the season, including the NBA Cup final, which otherwise doesn’t count toward players’ stats. Players must appear in 65 games to qualify for postseason awards. The Spurs have three games remaining after Monday.

Apr 22, 2022; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas (right) talks with general manager Marc Eversley (left) before game three of the first round for the 2022 NBA playoffs against the Milwaukee Bucks at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images With one winning season and one playoff appearance during their six seasons running the Chicago Bulls’ front office, executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley were fired Monday.
Hired at the start of the 2020-21 campaign along with head coach Billy Donovan, Karnisovas and Eversley finished 224-254. The 2021-22 season was the lone bright spot. The Bulls finished 46-36 and made the postseason, only to be bounced in the first round by the Milwaukee Bucks in five games.
Chicago (29-49) started 5-0 and won six of its first seven games, but will miss the playoffs for a fourth straight season. Chicago entered Monday 12th in the Eastern Conference
After the hot start in 2025-26, injuries and losses piled up rapidly as the Bulls experienced four losing streaks of a minimum of five games.
To “get out of the middle,” as Karnisovas termed it, the Bulls moved seven players at the trade deadline, including fan favorites Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White, but have little to show for it. Per ESPN, the deals did not bring any future pieces or drastically improve the team’s odds in the draft lottery. Jaden Ivey, acquired at the deadline in a three-team deal, was waived last week due to concerns about his off-court behavior and anti-LGBTQ statements.
“These decisions are never easy, especially when they involve people we respect both personally and professionally,” Chicago Bulls owner Michael Reinsdorf said in a statement. “We are grateful for their dedication and the work they’ve put in over the past six years. At the same time, we have not had the success our fans deserve, and it’s my responsibility to go in a new direction.
“This move is about positioning our team for sustained success moving ahead. I want our fans to know that I hear you and understand your frustration. I feel it as well. I know this will take time, and I am fully committed to getting this right. At the Chicago Bulls, our focus remains on building a team that can compete at the highest level and ultimately contend for championships. We are committed to taking the necessary steps to move the Bulls forward in a way that makes our fans proud.”
The Bulls last won a playoff series in 2015 following the 2014-15 season, taking down the Cavaliers, 4-2, in a best-of-seven to open the postseason. They lost to the Celtics in the second round, 4-2.
