Connor Hellebuyck made 21 saves and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Dallas Stars 4-0 to tie the Western Conference second-round series 1-1. Hellebuyck had his fourth career playoff shutout to help the regular-season champion Jets rebound from a 3-2 loss Wednesday. Game 3 is Sunday in Dallas.
Brad Marchand scored on a deflected shot in overtime and the Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4. Despite the loss, Toronto still leads the series 2-1. John Tavares scored twice for Toronto, and Matthew Knies and Morgan Rielly also scored for the Maple Leafs. Game 4 will be on Sunday night.
Addison Barger doubled three times and drove in two runs to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 6-3. Barger gave the Blue Jays an early advantage with a two-run double in the first inning. He then scored a run of his own during a three-run third inning that made it 5-0.
Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run homer to cap a six-run ninth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a wild 14-11 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers trailed 11-8 entering the ninth inning after blowing an early five-run lead. Max Muncy tied it at 11-all with a run-scoring single.
Jamal Murray of Kitchener, Ontario, scored 27 points and Michael Porter Junior bounced back with 21 clutch points, leading the Denver Nuggets past the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder 113-104 in overtime. Denver now leads their Western Conference series 2-1. Hamilton’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a tough night, missing 15 of 22 shots, going 1 for 6 from deep and finishing with 18 points.
Donovan Mitchell had 43 points and nine rebounds, and the finally full-strength Cleveland Cavaliers beat Indiana 126-104 to cut the Pacers’ lead to 2-1 in the N-B-A Eastern Conference semifinals. The road team has won all three games in the series, and the Pacers will have another chance to break that trend Sunday in Game 4.
