Alex DeBrincat, Wings get past Canucks in OT
Feb 2, 2025; Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN; Detroit Red Wings forward Alex DeBrincat (93) celebrates his overtime goal against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena. Mandatory Credit: Bob Frid-Imagn Images Alex DeBrincat scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, as the Detroit Red Wings extended their winning streak to six games with a 3-2 victory against the host Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.
Ben Chiarot also scored for Detroit, which climbed into a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference thanks to the win. Goaltender Alex Lyon stopped 25 shots.
Filip Chytil and Pius Suter scored for Vancouver, which lost its second straight game. Kevin Lankinen made 15 saves.
DeBrincat now has 23 goals on the season, tying him with Dylan Larkin for the team lead. The decisive goal came with 42 seconds left in the extra session, as DeBrincat led an odd-man rush from one end of the ice to the other and made good on a give-and-go with Lucas Raymond in the Vancouver zone.
Suter gave the hosts the lead less than five minutes into the contest with his 14th goal of the season. The former Red Wing raised his stick to deflect a shot from Elias Pettersson and get it past a screened Lyon.
DeBrincat leveled the game at 1 less than two minutes later, and Chiarot put Detroit up for the first time at 5:54 of the second.
Chiarot’s wrister from the blue line got past Lankinen thanks to screens from Michael Rasmussen and Elmer Soderblom. Soderblom earned an assist on the play to extend his point streak to four games.
Chytil, acquired from the New York Rangers on Friday, tied the game at 2-all at 10:46 of the third. He first corralled a loose puck in the faceoff circle to Lyon’s left. Working through a Chiarot check, he skated to his right and finally found daylight past the netminder to guarantee Vancouver a point.
Just before the game started, the Canucks pulled defenseman Quinn Hughes, the team’s captain and leader in points (14 goals, 45 assists), from the lineup due to an undisclosed injury.

Feb 22, 2026; West Palm Beach, Florida, USA; St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol (37) looks on from inside the dugout against the Houston Astros during the fifth inning at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.

Report: RB David Montgomery 'wants out' of Detroit
Dec 25, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (5) looks on before the game against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images Lions running back David Montgomery “wants out” of Detroit after three seasons, ESPN reported on Sunday.
Montgomery, however, immediately appeared to refute the report on X, posting: “Damn, Dmo told you that?”
The ESPN report claims the Lions would want “a decent Day 3 pick (possibly a fifth-rounder)” in the 2026 NFL Draft in return for Montgomery, who turns 29 in June and is owed $6 million next season.
The report follows general manager Brad Holmes’ remarks after the season about Montgomery being unhappy with his playing time in 2025. Sharing a backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs, Montgomery rushed for a career-low 716 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games (no starts).
“Those are conversations that we’re going to have to have because I’ve got a lot of respect for that player,” Holmes said of Montgomery in January. “He deserves to be in a situation where his skillset can be utilized, and so yeah would love for it to be here, but if it can’t be here then you’d just love to see where could work out best for him.”
At the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday, Holmes said the situation with Montgomery is “fluid.” He signed a two-year extension during the 2024 season that runs through the end of the 2027 campaign.
“Yeah, I have been in touch with David’s agent, and his representation,” Holmes revealed. “Obviously, we love David, he’s a great player, we love to have him, you know, kind of want to put last year in the rear view, and just move forward. But, obviously, a player has to want to be at a certain place as well. The conversations are still fluid, but we’ll see how it goes.”
Montgomery has rushed for 2,506 yards and 33 touchdowns in 45 games (28 starts) in three seasons with Detroit (2023-25). He has 76 catches for 650 yards in that span.
He began his career with the NFC North rival Chicago Bears, who drafted him in the third round in 2019. Montgomery rushed for 3,609 yards and 26 scores in 60 games (51 starts) with the Bears (2019-22).
