Deadspin | Nicolas Roy’s OT tally gives Avalanche 2-0 advantage over Kings Apr 21, 2026; Denver, Colorado, USA; Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood (41) makes a save against Los Angeles Kings right wing Alex Laferriere (14) in the first period in game two of the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Ball Arena. Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Nicolas Roy scored at 7:44 of overtime to lift Colorado to a 2-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday in Denver, giving the Avalanche a 2-0 lead in a Western Conference first-round playoff series. Roy got to a loose puck in the slot and shot it through the legs of Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke and past goalie Anton Forsberg for the win. Game 3 will be played Thursday night in Los Angeles. Gabriel Landeskog scored the tying goal late in regulation and Scott Wedgewood made 24 saves for the Avalanche, who won the series opener 2-1 on Sunday. During the regular season, Wedgewood led the NHL in goals-against average (2.02) and save percentage (.921). Anton Forsberg made 34 saves for the Kings in his second career postseason start, both in the current series. He has allowed two goals or fewer in eight of his past nine starts. Neither team scored until the final seven minutes of the third period. The Kings were on a power play when Trevor Moore brought the puck along the goal line before making a backhand pass to Panarin just above the left hashmarks. Panarin had time to gather the puck before shooting it into the net for a 1-0 lead at 13:04. The Avalanche tied it with 3:35 left in regulation. Devon Toews made a diagonal pass from above the left point to Martin Necas on the opposite goal line. Necas passed the puck back through the top of the crease to Landeskog, who was cutting to the net, and he scored with a one-timer. Kings forward Quinton Byfield was hooked by Cale Makar on a short-handed breakaway at 3:12 of the second period, resulting in a penalty shot, but Wedgewood made a lunching glove save to keep the game scoreless. During the penalty, fans broke the glass behind the Los Angeles bench, causing shards to fall on Kings interim coach D.J. Smith. Play was halted for 19 minutes as the glass was cleaned up and replaced. The Avalanche briefly celebrated nine seconds into the third period after defenseman Sam Malinski took a one-timer from the left point that hit the net, but replays showed the puck had stuck in the net on the outside of the left post. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Nicolas #Roys #tally #Avalanche #advantage #Kings

For every attempt by India’s Sarvesh Kushare in the men’s high jump final of the Commonwealth Games at Scotstoun Stadium here on Monday, the modest gathering of spectators responded with warm applause and cheers. But when the Indian stepped up for his third and final attempt at 2.28m, expecting a gold medal – after Jamaica’s Romaine Beckford had also failed at the height in his final attempt – a sepulchral silence descended over the stadium. It was evident that the crowd wanted the 31-year-old Indian to win.

However, it wasn’t to be. Kushare had to settle for the silver medal on countback as Beckford had cleared 2.25m on his first attempt, while the Indian national record holder managed the same height only on his third.

“I am happy to win a medal in my second Commonwealth Games. The cold weather affected my warm-up and warm-down routine. I was a bit confused, but it was a good learning experience and a lot of fun. My competitor Tejaswin Shankar was also advising and encouraging me. I won’t relax now and will focus on the Asian Games,” said Kushare.

However, it turned out to be a disappointing and emotional day for Tejaswin, the bronze medallist at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Initially, there was confusion when the official Commonwealth Games website displayed a DNS (Did Not Start) against his name. When queried, officials said it was a “technical glitch”. A few minutes later, spectators saw Tejaswin on the stadium’s giant screen waving to the crowd.

But the 27-year-old failed in his opening attempt at 2.05m before retiring from the competition.

Speaking to mediapersons later, Tejaswin said he withdrew because of severe pain caused by tendonitis in his knee.

“I think I’ve always had tendonitis in my knee. There isn’t a high jumper in the world who hasn’t suffered tendonitis. It was just one of those days. I was confident of doing well and winning a medal. In fact, I was feeling good and was in great shape during my warm-up,” he said while trying to control his tears.

Tejaswin said he would now focus on recovering in time for his next event, the men’s decathlon on July 31.

“I’ll try to fix this injury. I’m not on vacation. There are two days before my next event, and I’ll get started on my recovery,” he said.

Meanwhile, Tejas Shirse finished eighth and last in the men’s 110m hurdles final with a timing of 15.39 seconds and was seen limping towards the end of the race.

“I felt pain in my left ankle during the warm-up before the race. I apologise to the nation for my performance,” Shirse said.
