SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim breathed a sigh of relief. Five days after his Orange's biggest win of the season, there was no letdown.
Tyus Battle scored 22 points, Boeheim's son Buddy had a season-high 13 points, and Syracuse beat Pittsburgh 74-63 on Saturday, the Orange's zone defense thwarting the youthful Panthers from exerting their strong point, converting tough drives to the basket.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Tomas Hertl needed just three games to get his first NHL hat trick. It was more than a five-year wait for the second one, which came while he’s playing perhaps the best hockey of his career.
Hertl knocked down Evgeni Malkin with his backside to score his first goal, got the second off a rebound and capped a big night with an empty-net goal that gave him 100 for his career and sealed the seventh straight win for the San Jose Sharks, 5-2 over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.
Trey McGowens and Xavier Johnson combined for 48 points, while the Panthers defense held the Seminoles to just 23.5% shooting the second half, propelling Pitt to a stunning 75-62 win over No. 11 Florida State at Petersen Events Center Monday night.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jonathan Quick got another memento to add to the plastic tub in his attic filled with pucks commemorating important achievements.

RALEIGH, N.C. — No. 15 North Carolina State lost both a starting big man and its point guard. Good thing for the Wolfpack their depth is the envy of most teams.

Freshmen duo Xavier Johnson and Trey McGowens combined for 54 points, while Louisville was held to 3-of-11 shooting in overtime, as Pitt topped the Cardinals 89-86, taking their first ACC victory in 23 tries at Petersen Events Center Tuesday night.
Matt Murray finished with 36 saves, while Bryan Rust paved the way with two goals, both leading the Penguins to a dominating 5-1 win over Florida at PPG Paints Arena Tuesday night.
Chicago erased a two-score deficit, while corralling the final three goals of the game, clipping the Penguins win streak at eight games with a decisive 5-3 victory at PPG Paints Arena Sunday night.
There are things in this world that almost seem absolute.
Pitt entered its ACC opener on Saturday at the Petersen Events center winless in conference games since 2016. The streak continued as the Panthers were no match against no.15 North Carolina. Between inexperience, nerves, and being out-manned at every position on the court, the final score of 85-60 could have been worse.
