Growing up, Sam Bennett’s dad encouraged him to play like rugged Toronto Maple Leafs scorer Doug Gilmour. Bennett saw his developing game more like another physical producer, Mike Richards, of the Philadelphia Flyers and the Los Angeles Kings Boston sees him closer to someone else: Satan on skates. Feels good, doesn’t it, to have a South Florida team so good and a player so on the edge that another city boos him every time he touches the puck?

By JIMMY GOLEN (AP Sports Writer) BOSTON (AP) — One game after Sam Bennett punched Brad Marchand out of the playoffs, the Panthers forward sent the rest of the Bruins to the brink of elimination with an equally controversial shove to Charlie Coyle’s back. Already drawing boos in the Garden because of a hit on Marchand that the Bruins are calling a sucker punch, Bennett scored the game-tying goal in Game 4 on Sunday night after sending Coyle tumbling into Boston goalie Jeremy Swayman. The goal was upheld by the NHL replay center in Toronto, and Aleksander Barkov scored the game-winner four minutes later to lead Florida to a 3-2 victory and a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series. “I’m putting that puck in before Swayman’s going to be able to get over there, whether Coyle was on him or not.

UCF softball earned its fourth consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament, with the Knights set to square off against Auburn in the Tallahassee Regional on Friday (2 p.m., ESPNU). It’s the first time in program history that the Knights (30-23, 12-15 Big 12) have appeared in four straight tournaments. The team wrapped up its first season in the Big 12 and was among the last four teams to make the tournament. “It was honestly, really nerve-wracking,” said outfielder Chloe Evans.

Rich Wallace wondered how his UCF baseball team would struggle to bounce back following an emotional 5-4 win over No. 18 Texas Saturday night. UCF jumped to a 4-0 lead before hanging on for the win. In the top of the 9th inning, the Knights needed a pair of strikeouts to secure the victory. On Sunday, the Knights were listless for the first four innings, failing to register a hit as the Longhorns jumped out to what seemed an insurmountable 5-run edge. But Wallace’s well-timed ejection — his first of the season — fired up his team and the fans as UCF rallied to tie the game at 5 before eventually falling 10-7. “I don’t know how much I had to do with it,” Wallace said after the game.
