Mandatory Credit: Alan Poizner-Imagn Images Steven Stamkos had a goal and an assist for the Nashville Predators in a 2-1 win against the visiting Minnesota Wild on Saturday afternoon. Matthew Wood also scored and Justus Annunen made 21 saves for Nashville (38-32-10, 86 points), which stayed within a point of the Los Angeles Kings for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

The Predators took a 1-0 lead at 15:01 of the first. Stamkos pulled the puck out of a corner in the Minnesota zone, then passed it from below the goal line to Luke Evangelista. He passed it back to Stamkos, who scored on a wraparound for his 40th goal of the season. It’s the eighth time Stamkos has reached the 40-goal mark in his 18 NHL seasons. Nashville stretched the lead to 2-0 at 6:34 of the second. Wallstedt saved a shot from the right face-off circle by Nick Perbix and the rebound fell at the feet of Stamkos, who made a short backhand feed to Wood that set him up for a score from the inside edge of the right circle. McCarron scored on a rebound off Jonas Brodin’s shot to cut it to 2-1 at 6:54 of the third period. With the Wild nearly locked into their playoff spot, they rested forwards Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello and defenseman Jared Spurgeon. Nashville captain Roman Josi returned to the Preds’ blue line after he was a late scratch in Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the Utah Mammoth because of an upper-body injury. Annunen was coming off a 5-0 win against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, the first shutout of the season for Nashville. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Preds #stay #point #Kings #tight #win #Wild

Sawan Barwal breaks oldest National Record, betters Shivnath Singh’s 48-year-old mark by two seconds in his debut marathon <div id="content-body-70853851" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Growing up in the village of Radabhanker, situated in the rolling hills of Himachal’s Mandi district, Sawan Barwal didn’t have very lofty ambitions when he started running. It’s not rare to find scores of runners pounding the mountain trails early in the morning in this part of the country. It’s something most young men do in this region in preparation for Army recruitment.</p><p>Sawan though wasn’t even thinking of that. “A lot of children from my area run because they want to prepare for Army <i>bharti</i> (recruitment). But when I started running in school, it was just because I enjoyed running. At first, I was just happy to run. Then slowly, as I improved, my goals got bigger. I wanted to win a school medal, then a district medal, then state medal and national medal, then become an international athlete. Every time I won a medal, I kept thinking what I could accomplish next,” Sawan tells <i>Sportstar</i>.</p><p>On Sunday morning in Rotterdam, the 28-year-old got his biggest accomplishment yet. Competing in the Rotterdam marathon, Sawan crossed the finish line in a time of 2:11:58. In doing so, he had broken the longest standing record in Indian track and field — Shivnath Singh’s men’s marathon record of 2:12:00 set in 1978.</p><p>Sawan’s achievement is all the more remarkable considering he was making his marathon debut, having only switched to the event five months ago. It’s easily the highest mark in the career of Sawan, whose previous biggest claim to fame was a bronze medal in the Asian half marathon championships in 2023.</p><p><b>READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/athletics/lokesh-sathyanathan-story-career-ncaa-long-jump-title-journey-coach-bengaluru/article70802992.ece" target="_blank">The Lokesh Sathyanathan story: How the long jumper from Bengaluru leapt into history with his maiden NCAA title</a></b></p><p>While it’s a mark that’s eluded many generations of Indian long-distance runners, Sawan had been confident about setting a new national record in his first race. “Before coming to Rotterdam, I had done some research. I knew the course is very flat. I knew I had a good chance to get the record,” he says.</p><p>Growing up though, Sawan wouldn’t have thought he was going to be the one to script history. “I first started running seriously when I was in class 8th in school. I was introduced by my coach. I wasn’t thinking so much of the future. I ran because it focuses your mind and gives you a goal to chase,” he says.</p><p>It soon became obvious that Sawan had talent. He started as an 800m runner and soon progressed from the school to the state and eventually, the national level. In 2015, he finished fourth in the men’s 3,000m at the U-18 national championships. Although he hadn’t medalled, he continued running.</p><p>Although it hadn’t been the reason he started running in the first case, Sawan was eventually recruited by the Army the following year – he’s currently a <i>havaldar</i> with the Engineering Corps. The shift didn’t immediately transform his fortunes. He’d have to wait another five years to win his first medal – a silver in the 10,000m at the National Open Athletics Championships in 2022.</p><p>The following year, he won his first international medal – bronze at the Asian half marathon championships.</p><p>While it was clear he had potential to compete at the longest distance in Olympic track and field, Sawan held off the decision. “The first time I thought about running in the marathon was in 2023. But because we had the Asian Games that year and because I had already done well in the 5,000m, I thought I should stick to that distance,” he says.</p><p>Sawan continued to do well in the 5,000m and 10,000m, winning gold in the latter with a personal best time at last year’s National Games and then, later at the Federation Cup. But coaches continued to nudge him towards the marathon. “Last year, Scott Simmons (who had previously coached Commonwealth Games medallist Avinash Sable) suggested I try the marathon as well. I thought it might be a good chance to qualify for the Asian Games so I decided to make the move,” he says.</p><p>The shift didn’t go smoothly at first. Two months into marathon preparation, Sawan fell in the middle of a run. “I was supposed to make my marathon debut last year but because of the fall, I had to give up that plan,” he says.</p><p>This season though, the plan was to take on the Rotterdam marathon. The goal heading in was to break the national record. Sevaral senior runners said that plan was too ambitious but Sawan says he was always confident. “Because the record has stood for so long, a lot of runners think we can’t even train to run that fast. A lot of old runners told me this. But I didn’t think this time was that hard,” he says.</p><p>Indeed, in recent years, a number of runners have come close to the record. Sawan’s army teammate Gopi Thonackal ran a time of 2:12:12 at the Valencia marathon last year while Kartik Karkera ran 2:13:10 at the New Delhi marathon earlier this year. While those two had come close, at Rotterdam, Sawan would shatter the mark.</p><p>Even with the record, it’s unlikely Sawan would be satisfied. Before the race, Sawan had told <i>Sportstar</i> what his goals were. “I don’t think it’s enough to break the record. I would like to be able to run a sub 2:09:00 race. I also want to win a medal at the Asian Games,” he said.</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 12, 2026</p></div> #Sawan #Barwal #breaks #oldest #National #Record #betters #Shivnath #Singhs #48yearold #mark #seconds #debut #marathon

Mandatory Credit: D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images Jake Burger hit two homers and drove four runs and Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven shutout innings to help the Texas Rangers record an 8-1 victory over the Athletics on Monday night at West Sacramento, Calif. Josh Smith and Josh Jung each drove in two runs in the eighth inning as the Rangers broke the game open while winning the opener of a four-game series. Joc Pederson had three of Texas’ 11 hits. Eovaldi (2-2) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out seven as the Rangers earned their second straight win and fifth in the past seven. The 36-year-old threw just 84 pitches and lowered his ERA from 7.98 to 5.40. Lawrence Butler homered in the eighth for the A’s, who had a five-game winning streak snapped. Luis Severino (0-2) allowed four runs and six hits — including both of Burger’s homers — over six innings to continue his struggles at Sutter Health Park. He struck out seven and walked three. Severino, who ripped the home ballpark last June, is now 2-10 with a 6.01 ERA in 16 starts at the facility. Severino issued one-out walks in the first inning to Evan Carter and Corey Seager before Burger came up and ripped a 1-1 sinker over the fence in left-center to give Texas a quick 3-0 lead. His next time up, leading off the third, Burger went the opposite way with a 1-1 sinker and deposited the ball over the fence in right. It was Burger’s fourth career homer off Severino and the eighth two-homer game of his career. Seager nearly had a homer in the fifth inning, but his drive to right-center was caught above the short wall by Butler. The Rangers were helped by some good fortune during their four-run eighth inning that blew the game open. Seager led off with a ground-rule double, and one out later, Pederson hit a bouncer up the middle that Athletics shortstop Jack Wilson was in position to field. However, second base umpire Edwin Jimenez was hit by the ball, giving Pederson an infield hit with Seager moving to third. After Kyle Higashioka walked to load the bases against Jack Perkins, Smith delivered a two-run single to make it 6-0 and Jung followed with a two-run double for an eight-run bulge. Butler’s one-out homer to right in the bottom of the eighth came off Luis Curvelo. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Jake #Burger #Nathan #Eovaldi #steer #Rangers #routApr 13, 2026; West Sacramento, California, USA; Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger (right) gets a congratulatory handshake from designated hitter Joc Pederson (3) after hitting a solo home run against the Athletics during the third inning at Sutter Health Park.

Seager led off with a ground-rule double, and one out later, Pederson hit a bouncer up the middle that Athletics shortstop Jack Wilson was in position to field. However, second base umpire Edwin Jimenez was hit by the ball, giving Pederson an infield hit with Seager moving to third.

After Kyle Higashioka walked to load the bases against Jack Perkins, Smith delivered a two-run single to make it 6-0 and Jung followed with a two-run double for an eight-run bulge.

Butler’s one-out homer to right in the bottom of the eighth came off Luis Curvelo.

Mandatory Credit: D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images Jake Burger hit two homers and drove four runs and Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven shutout innings to help the Texas Rangers record an 8-1 victory over the Athletics on Monday night at West Sacramento, Calif. Josh Smith and Josh Jung each drove in two runs in the eighth inning as the Rangers broke the game open while winning the opener of a four-game series. Joc Pederson had three of Texas’ 11 hits. Eovaldi (2-2) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out seven as the Rangers earned their second straight win and fifth in the past seven. The 36-year-old threw just 84 pitches and lowered his ERA from 7.98 to 5.40. Lawrence Butler homered in the eighth for the A’s, who had a five-game winning streak snapped. Luis Severino (0-2) allowed four runs and six hits — including both of Burger’s homers — over six innings to continue his struggles at Sutter Health Park. He struck out seven and walked three. Severino, who ripped the home ballpark last June, is now 2-10 with a 6.01 ERA in 16 starts at the facility. Severino issued one-out walks in the first inning to Evan Carter and Corey Seager before Burger came up and ripped a 1-1 sinker over the fence in left-center to give Texas a quick 3-0 lead. His next time up, leading off the third, Burger went the opposite way with a 1-1 sinker and deposited the ball over the fence in right. It was Burger’s fourth career homer off Severino and the eighth two-homer game of his career.
