Vegas is making a statement in the Western Conference Final. Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev struck in a two-minute-and-seven-second burst in the third period, turning a tight game into a three to one final over Colorado. The Golden Knights now hold a two to nothing series lead, and the Avalanche are running out of room fast.
Meanwhile in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a junior named Raegan Lawton is writing her name into the record books. The Portsmouth girls lacrosse standout buried five goals Friday, including the one hundredth of her career, as the Clippers dismantled Pinkerton twenty to one. Portsmouth moves to twelve and zero with three regular season games still to play. That program is rolling.
And in Arizona, the Diamondbacks are watching their left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Junior closely after he exited Friday's game against Colorado with left hamstring tightness. He made an impressive sliding catch in the sixth inning, then grimaced getting to his feet. No word yet on the severity, but any hamstring issue in late May carries real weight for a team with postseason ambitions.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
