Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:36:10 GMT

Forwards Oskar Lindblom, Ryan Carpenter, and Jacob Peterson all cleared NHL waivers Saturday and will now report to the San Jose Barracuda, the Sharks’ AHL affiliate.Lindblom, Carpenter, and Peterson were all waived by the Sharks on Friday, giving other NHL teams an opportunity to put in a claim for one or more of them and potentially add them to their rosters. With the 31 other NHL teams now passing, the trio now joins a Barracuda team that opens its regular season next Friday at home against the Rockford IceHogs.The Barracuda also plays an exhibition game against the Bakersfield Condors tonight, but Lindblom, Carpenter, and Peterson will not play.If nothing else, by having all three remain in San Jose, the Sharks now enjoy some greater organizational depth up front should injuries begin to affect the NHL club.Of the three forwards, Peterson might have been the likeliest to get claimed because of his production last season and relatively inexpensive salary cap hit.Peterson, 24, was...

LONDON (AP) — A week after shocking Manchester United, Crystal Palace was held to a 0-0 draw at home to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday. In Palace manager Roy Hodgson’s 400th Premier League, his team could not mark the occasion with a win, while injuries to Jeffrey Schlupp and Jairo Riedewald were a concern.

Palace had won 1-0 at United the previous week, but could not add another three points against Forest.Forest should have taken the lead after 20 minutes when Gibbs-White’s side-foot volley beat Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and caught the inside of the post, but did not cross the line.Palace came close in the second half when Tyrick Mitchell found Odsonne Edouard, who picked out Mateta on the right edge of the area and his effort rolled just wide.Forest wa...

That was the best scoring start for a new Madrid player since Ronaldo also scored 10 in his first 10 games after his 2009 transfer from Manchester United.Not only has the 20-year-old Bellingham started filling the big boots of an aging Luka Modric, he is also helping Madrid to quickly move past the exit of Karim Benzema amid a still unsuccessful pursuit of Kylian Mbappé.“He puts on his Superman cape in nearly every game,” veteran defender Dani Carvajal, who set up Bellingham’s opener, said about his new teammate.Bellingham sent a message that he was oozing with confidence when he accepted the No. 5 of Zinedine Zidane at Madrid. But nobody expected him to score at this rate, not ...
