Connor McDavid scored three goals and added an assist as the Edmonton Oilers routed the visiting Seattle Kraken 9-4 on Thursday.

Leon Draisaitl had a goal and three assists and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evan Bouchard each had three helpers for the Oilers, who went 4-for-5 on the power play.

Edmonton’s Matt Savoie scored twice and Vasily Podkolzin, Zach Hyman and Mattias Janmark also tallied. Calvin Pickard made 28 saves as the Oilers improved to 3-2-1 in their past six games.

Eeli Tolvanen, Freddy Gaudreau, Jared McCann and Jani Nyman scored for Seattle, which lost its fourth game in a row (0-3-1). Kaapo Kakko registered two assists.

Kraken goalie Joey Daccord was pulled in the second period after allowing five goals on 14 shots. Philipp Grubauer didn’t fare much better in relief, giving up four goals on 18 attempts.

McDavid opened the scoring at 7:17 of the first period on a wrist shot from just outside the left faceoff dot.

Podkolzin made it 2-0 just 17 seconds later on a one-timer from low on the right wing that snuck between Daccord’s pads.

The Oilers struck on the power play at 11:27 of the first. McDavid made a pass through the top of the crease to Draisaitl on the right wing for a one-timer that gave Daccord no chance.

The Kraken got on the board at 16:07 of the opening period, less than a second after an Edmonton penalty expired. Brandon Montour’s broken-stick slap shot from the blue line went off Podkolzin’s skate, and Tolvanen blasted the rebound into the net from the right faceoff dot.

Seattle pulled within 3-2 at 19:33 of the first when Gaudreau stole the puck from Draisaitl in the Oilers’ end, skated in alone and beat Pickard with a backhander.

Savoie scored on a short-handed breakaway at 2:28 of the second to make it 4-2.

McDavid restored the three-goal lead with the man advantage at 6:14 of the second, catching Daccord flat-footed on a wrist shot from low on the left wing.

Hyman greeted Grubauer by scoring on a breakaway at 8:53 of the middle period.

McCann scored on a rebound of a Jordan Eberle shot at 9:30 of the second to make it 6-3.

Janmark converted his own rebound at 2:03 of the third. McDavid and Savoie scored on the power play, at 6:59 and 8:58, respectively, with Montour serving a double-minor for high-sticking.

Nyman capped the scoring with 4.5 seconds remaining.

Deadspin | Inter Miami rallies for tie vs. Revolution to extend unbeaten streak  Apr 25, 2026; Miami, Florida, USA; Inter Miami CF forward Lionel Messi (10) dribbles the ball against New England Revolution defender Will Sands (23) during the first half at Nu Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images   German Berterame scored his third goal of the season in the later stages and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami salvaged a 1-1 draw against the visiting New England Revolution on Saturday night.  Messi failed to score in consecutive games for the first time this season, and the Herons tied their third straight match at Nu Stadium since opening their new permanent facility earlier this month.  Miami (5-1-4, 19 points) also dropped its first points in three games under interim manager Guillermo Hoyos, but still extended its unbeaten run to 11 matches in all competitions, having lost only its season opener at Los Angeles FC 3-0 on Feb. 21.  Carles Gil scored his second goal of the season earlier in the second half for New England (5-3-1, 16 points), which had a four-match win streak snapped.  Matt Turner made nine saves for the Revolution as he continues to make his case for inclusion on the U.S. World Cup squad.  Berterame began life in Miami slowly after his offseason move from Mexico’s CF Monterrey for a reported  million transfer fee, but now has a goal or assist in five consecutive matches after pulling Miami level in the 76th minute.  On the equalizer, Rodrigo De Paul’s pass found substitute Luis Suarez near the right corner of the 6-yard box, and Suarez forced Turner into a sprawling save with his first-time effort.   Berterame was there for a simple rebound finish into an open net.  Tadeo Allende thought he’d given Miami the lead in the 52nd minute when he ran onto De Paul’s pass and finished past Matt Turner.  But Allende was ruled offside on the play, and while replays suggested he may have been even with the last defender when De Paul played the ball, the sequence was not reviewed.  Gil gave New England the lead four minutes later following a long throw-in from the right.  Dor Turgeman used his body to shield defender Maxi Falcon and take the throw-in down with his chest.  He then left it for Gil, who made a slicing run into the area to break through Miami’s defense and then lofted a clever chip over lunging goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair.   –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Inter #Miami #rallies #tie #Revolution #extend #unbeaten #streakApr 25, 2026; Miami, Florida, USA; Inter Miami CF forward Lionel Messi (10) dribbles the ball against New England Revolution defender Will Sands (23) during the first half at Nu Stadium.

Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe broke the two-hour mark for the first time in history on Sunday in winning the London Marathon.

The defending champion was locked in a tight battle with Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha in the closing stages but surged clear to cross the line in 1hr 59min 30sec.

Kejelcha also dipped under two hours, with a time of 1:59:41, with Uganda’s Jacob Kiplomo third (2:00:28).

All three finished under the previous men’s world record of 2:00:35 set in Chicago in 2023 by the late Kelvin Kiptum.

Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in October 2019, becoming the first person in recorded history to do a sub-two-hour marathon.

But the time was not ratified as a world record because he ran with specialised shoes, standard competition rules for pacing and fluids were not followed, and it was not an open event.

Sawe, wearing Adidas’ new Pro Evo 3 supershoe, which weighs less than 100 grams, suggested before Sunday’s race that a course record or even a world record was in his sights.

He led a group of six as they passed the half-way point in a time of 1:00:29.

Sawe and Kejelcha pulled clear of the rest of the pack and stayed together until the final stages before the Kenyan kicked for home.
