Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:32:16 GMT

The Bruins have long maintained the position that the record for regular season wins doesn’t matter at all to them.But now? They might as well go for it, especially if they can keep winning while resting their vets.The B’s recorded win No. 60 on Sunday, in the most uncharacteristic and unconventional way. The B’s now need to win three of their final five games to set the record.The B’s blew a 3-0 lead, then had what they thought was an overtime game-winner taken off the board. But Charlie Coyle scored the only goal of the shootout and Linus Ullmark punctuated the 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues with a glove snare of a Brayden Schenn wrister to end it.The B’s took a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but they gave the Blues some life with a late second period goal and then old friend Torey Krug got St. Louis to within a goal at 9:47 of the third.

Hours before the Yankees’ series finale against the Giants, Jhony Brito could be seen moseying around the clubhouse with his AirPods in his ears and his phone in hand.Calm and collected, nothing indicated that Brito was about to make his major league debut, aside from the lineup posted at the room’s entrance. If the kid was nervous, he certainly didn’t look it.The same applied during the game, a 6-0 Yankees win, as Brito stifled San Francisco over five scoreless frames. The 25-year-old righty — thrust into the Yankees’ season-opening rotation strictly due to injuries — held the Giants to two hits and one walk while striking out six over 76 pitches.“I always thought about debuting and having a good debut,” Brito said postgame. “You have to be confident to do your job. If you start thinking of bad outcomes, that’s usually when things get out of hand.”Brito’s changeup gave the Giants fits all afternoon. He threw th...
