Nashville, TN

Sherwood netted a goal in Nashville's 2-1 shootout win over Seattle on Thursday. Sherwood has four goals and nine points in 20 appearances this season. Three of those markers -- along with two assists -- have come over his last seven contests. Sherwood averaged just 10:04 of ice time over his first six games in 2022-23, but that jumped to 13:17 over 13 outings from Feb. 26-March 21. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 16:01 versus Seattle.

Vasilevskiy turned aside 17 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens. The All-Star goalie gave up two tallies in the first period, looking a bit shaky on the first one, and the Lightning were never able to climb out of the early hole. Vasilevskiy continues to struggle in March, going 3-4-2 in nine starts with a 3.42 GAA and .883 save percentage, and while he's capable of flipping the switch once the playoffs start, it's an ominous sign for Tampa Bay's chances of making a deep run.

Carlson (fractured skull) is expected to return to action Thursday versus Chicago. Carlson suffered the gruesome injury three months ago. He was practicing with a red jersey Thursday, indicating he will quarterback the first power play. Carlson has eight goals and 21 points in 30 games this season. Look for Rasmus Sandin to quarterback the second power play, when Carlson returns.

Krug will stay back in St. Louis ahead of Thursday's road trip to Detroit following the birth of his child, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. While Krug won't be with the team Thursday, he is expected to link up with the club in California for matchups versus Anaheim and Los Angeles on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. With Krug unavailable, Calle Rosen will step into the third pairing while Justin Faulk figures to move up to the No. 1 power-play unit. For his part, Krug has just 28 points in 52 games this season and almost certainly won't reach the 40-point threshold, a mark he has previously hit in six of the last seven campaigns.

THE son of a famed restaurant owner in New York City has died after a freak accident at Madison Square Garden. After a New York Rangers game on Saturday, Ernest Vogliano Jr., 61, was riding an escalator railing inside the arena when he suddenly fell nearly three floors to his death.

Nebraska fans had high hopes for the Scott Frost era after the former championship-winning quarterback came to Lincoln fresh off a perfect season with UCF. But following a horrific 16-31 run in fewer than five seasons -- the program's worst stretch in 60 years -- the Cornhuskers are starting from scratch once again.

Nelson (undisclosed) was injured in the first period of Tuesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Nelson went down hard in the corner after a hit and needed help to get to the locker room, though he was able to skate off under his own power. An update on the 31-year-old's status should surface before Friday's game in Columbus.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins has torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and will undergo surgery, the team announced Thursday night. The NL champion was carted off the field Thursday afternoon after suffering a non-contact left knee injury while fielding a ground ball behind first base during a spring game against the Detroit Tigers.

Kevin Garnett has never been known as the forgiving type. He still has not allowed his jersey to be retired by the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a longstanding feud with the franchise's outgoing owner, Glen Taylor. And that isn't even Garnett's most famous beef. That honor belongs to former teammate Ray Allen.

Green (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers. Green saw nine minutes off the bench in his return from a lengthy absence Monday, and he'll likely see a similar workload Wednesday as he's eased back into the rotation. He's safe to leave on the waiver wire in most formats.

Bulls' Javonte Green: Probable for Wednesday

Salt Lake City, UT

Gay (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks. Gay exited Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a lower back issue, and his injury will force him to miss the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Simone Fontecchio and Juan Toscano-Anderson are candidates to see increased run against Milwaukee.

Hernandez has covered five innings without allowing an earned run over three Cactus League appearances. Hernandez has also posted a 6:1 K:BB with just three hits allowed. His workload hasn't been that heavy in the spring, but he's performed well in the limited sample. The 26-year-old right-hander looks set to fill a bullpen role as a multi-inning option this season. He struggled to a 7.39 ERA and 1.84 WHIP over 56 innings last season, but if he carry over his improved control from the spring to the regular season, he should at least enjoy a little more job security.

Lynch was removed from Kansas City's Cactus League game against San Diego on Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. Lynch seemed to know something was wrong immediately after throwing a pitch, pointing at his shoulder and motioning for a trainer to come onto the field. The team will look at his shoulder and provide further updates, but early signs are not reassuring for the 26-year-old lefty.

Salas will likely begin his professional career in the Arizona Complex League, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports. Assistant director of player development Mike Daly said Salas will begin his career stateside, which rules out a stint in the Dominican Summer League, but he didn't definitively rule out Salas spending time with Single-A Lake Elsinore this year in his age-16/17 season. Salas turns 17 in June and has already appeared in a Cactus League game, which is evidence of just how advanced the prized international signee is. A bilingual switch-hitter, Salas is as good of a real-life 16-year-old prospect as you'll find, but he is still at least several years away from the majors.

Arizona State

Daley agreed to terms with the Cardinals on a two-year deal Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Daley started 15 games for the Titans last season while Taylor Lewan was out with a knee injury, and the 26-year-old will now head out west to sign with Arizona. The 2019 sixth-round pick can play both tackle and guard and should provide solid offensive line depth for the Cardinals next season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kelvin Sampson is not one for hyperbole. He is erudite, thoughtful, one hell of a basketball coach. Certainly not a purveyor of hot takes. Rewind Houston basketball nine years ago to 2014. That was Sampson's first year with the Cougars when, by the coach's own assessment, the program was "so Conference USA-ish."

As he often does on the football field, Lamar Jackson is going on the offensive with regard to his ongoing contract situation. With Jackson and the Ravens still at a stalemate, a representative for the former league MVP has begun contacting teams in an effort to create a possible landing spot for the quarterback, according to Pro Football Talk, and telling them he's ready to move on from Baltimore.

The White Sox optioned Martin to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The right-hander has struggled with a 5.25 ERA in 12 innings of Grapefruit League action. That said, Martin did post a respectable, albeit unimpressive 4.83 ERA and provided rotation depth last season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the White Sox at some point in 2023.
