Golden Knights C William Karlsson ruled out for Game 6
Jun 11, 2026; Raleigh, North Carolina, USA; Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson (71) warms up before game five of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final against the Carolina Hurricanes at Lenovo Center. Mandatory Credit: James Guillory-Imagn Images Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson has been ruled out of Sunday’s Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals due to a left arm injury.
Karlsson sustained the injury Thursday during a 4-2 loss in Game 5 to the host Carolina Hurricanes.
Karlsson was injured in the second period when he took a hard hit from Carolina defenseman Sean Walker. Karlsson’s left arm smacked into the glass and trainers were later working on him before he left the arena to undergo tests.
Vegas coach John Tortorella declined Saturday to weigh in on whether or not Karlsson would be available for a possible Game 7 in Raleigh, N.C., on Wednesday.
Golden Knights winger Mitch Marner, who plays on the same line as Karlsson, is disappointed with the timing of the injury.
“It’s obviously a big miss,” Marner told reporters after the morning skate on Saturday. “He’s done a lot of great things for us since he’s been back. But we’ve done this all year. We’ve had a lot of injuries throughout the year, throughout playoffs. So obviously it sucks losing Will, but it’s a ‘next-man-up’ mentality.”
Karlsson, 33, has three goals and nine points in 15 playoff games. He played in just 14 regular-season games after sustaining a lower-body injury on Nov. 8.
Karlsson has played with Vegas for all nine seasons that the franchise has been in the NHL. In 569 games for Vegas, Karlsson has amassed 403 points (165 goals, 238 assists). He has added 80 points (34 goals, 46 assists) in 121 playoff appearances for the Golden Knights.
Karlsson also played with the Anaheim Ducks (2014-15) and Columbus Blue Jackets (2015-17).

Giancarlo Stanton (calf) suffers setback in recovery
Apr 21, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (27) rounds the bases after hitting a home run against the Boston Red Sox in the second inning at Fenway Park. Mandatory Credit: David Butler II-Imagn Images New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton suffered a setback while recovering from a left calf strain sustained on April 24.
Stanton was running the bases last week, when the injury flared up.
The Yankees had hoped Stanton would return from the injured list for the team’s next homestand, but that is likely delayed.
“He felt a little something in there a day or two ago, so that’s kind of slowed him down,” manager Aaron Boone said. “I expected him back early in this homestand. That’s in jeopardy now.”
In 24 games this season, Stanton, 36, was batting .256 with three home runs, six doubles and 14 RBIs.
The Yankees are dealing with several key injuries to outfielders.
Reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge is on the IL with a right rib stress fracture and is expected to be out until July or August.
Outfielder Trent Grisham was also placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The team recalled Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
“No getting around it, we’ve lost some key people,” Boone said. “It’s part of it. The (162 game schedule) is coming for you. I feel like we’re way more equipped to deal with it than we have been in some years. It’s a great opportunity for some of our young players.”

WTA Roundup: Emma Raducanu wins twice in one day to reach London finals
Emma Raducanu gets set to serve to Amanda Anisimova during their third-round match at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., Sunday, March 8, 2026. Former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu thrilled the home crowd in London by winning a pair of matches over several hours at the HSBC Championships on Saturday to advance to the tournament finals.
The oft-injured 2021 champion knocked off Uzbekistan’s Kamilla Rakhimova, 6-3, 7-5, then came back a few hours later to oust No. 6 Iva Jovic, 6-2, 6-2.
In between those matches, Croatian Donna Vekic, a lucky loser into the main draw, defeated the United Kingdom’s Katie Boulter, 6-1, 6-3.
Vekic and Raducanu will meet for the first time on Sunday. The 29-year old Vekic has four WTA titles under her belt, while the London native is seeking her second.
Raducanu broke Jovic five times in their match and took advantage of the 18-year old American’s 58 percent first serve efficiency.
Vekic won 23-of-25 points on her first serve against Boulter and never faced a break point.
