OTTAWA — With their season on the line, the Ottawa Senators found a way to dig a little deeper Tuesday, rebounding from a humiliating outing two days earlier to earn a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that kept them from being eliminated. Mike Hoffman scored the winner 1 minute, 34 seconds into the third period, Bobby Ryan picked up his sixth goal of the playoffs, and Craig Anderson made 45 saves. Evgeni Malkin gave Pittsburgh, the defending Stanley Cup champion, the lead early in the second period, and Matt Murray finished with 28 saves. Notable in a scoreless opening period were two effective penalty kills, one of which saw Viktor Stalberg get the best opportunity shorthanded. The 35-year-old struggled through Games 4 and 5 — allowing seven goals — but it was evident early that he had his game back in this one. The playoff scoring leading (24 points) bounced off a check from Zack Smith behind the goal and after being stopped on his drive to the net, followed up with a nifty backhand rebound to beat Anderson. The Ottawa power play, which had gone 0-for-29 in the previous 10 games, came through with Ryan ultimately wiring a one-timer short-side to tie the score.

  • Bolder Boulder: Conner Mantz surges to second consecutive victory in pro race
    Denver Post, Monday - 05/27/2024 - 04:47 PM

    Conner Mantz sure knows how to put on a show at Folsom Field. A year after a dramatic finish to win the Bolder Boulder, he did it again on Monday. Mantz surged past Yemane Haileselassie of Eritrea in the final 250 meters to claim the title in the International Pro Team Challenge for the second year in a row. Mantz, running for the USA Red team, finished the 10K race in 29 minutes, 12.51 seconds to outlast Haileselassie by just 1.8 seconds. “I think it’s a big deal for me just because this is such a prestigious race and getting the body to dig that deep is something I’m really trying to work on,” said Mantz, who had a strong final kick to win by only four seconds in 2023.

  • Rockies’ Austin Gomber scratched from start; Justin Lawrence goes on IL
    Denver Post, Monday - 05/27/2024 - 02:56 PM

    A sore arm has detoured a career run for Austin Gomber. The Rockies’ left-hander was scratched from his Monday afternoon start against Cleveland at Coors Field. Right-hander Anthony Molina, a Rule-5 draft pickup, was called on to fill in for Gomber. The preliminary plan calls for Gomber to skip Monday’s start and pitch this weekend against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. “I felt really good after my last start in Oakland, but then we flew back here and there was a little bit of swelling and inflammation near the back of my triceps where it meets the elbow,” said Gomber, adding that his arm was at about 85%.

  • Bolder Boulder: Molly Grabill repeats as women’s citizen’s race winner at 44th Bolder Boulder
    Denver Post, Monday - 05/27/2024 - 02:12 PM

    Molly Grabill wasn’t too thrilled with how she’s been running lately. Monday was a different story. At the 44th Bolder Boulder, the Superior resident and San Diego native won the women’s citizen’s race for the second consecutive year. A former six-time All-American at Oregon, Grabill, 31, is the first repeat champion — men or women — since Lilly Guerra won the women’s races in 2002-03. Grabill said she came in with the intent to win, but added, “I mean, there was Laura (Thweatt) and Gwen (Jorgensen) in the race and I’ve just kind of been in a little bit of a slump since the (U.
