Rested Senators visit Kings, look to extend mini-winning streak

Mandatory Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images The Ottawa Senators will try to win three games in a row for the first time this season when they visit the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
The Senators should be plenty rested. They’ve been in the Los Angeles area for a few days after opening their three-game California swing with a 4-3 win against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday.
The Senators took Thursday off and went through a spirited practice on Friday.
“It’s about getting the body moving again,” Ottawa defenseman Thomas Chabot said. “Days off are so big with the amount of games we play in such a short period of time. Everybody’s in a good mood coming back (Friday).”
Several players have led Ottawa, but the most surprising has been Adam Gaudette, who scored two goals against the Sharks to give him 11 goals in 21 games this season.
The most goals he’s ever scored in a season during his NHL career is 12 in 59 games with the Vancouver Canucks in 2019-20 — his second full season in the NHL.
“I’m just playing hockey, just doing my thing out there,” Gaudette said. “(I’m) playing with some great players out there, and I couldn’t do it without the guys on the ice, so I owe a lot to them.”
Gaudette has earned a spot on the top line with Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle, who also have seen their offensive numbers climb of late.
Tkachuk had two assists against San Jose to give him five points (two goals, three assists) in his past three games, and Stutzle is riding a five-game point streak (two goals, five assists).
“I just try to find him. I know he’s a goal scorer,” Stutzle said of Gaudette. “He had a couple of good looks (against the Sharks), and he could have scored more than two.”
The Kings are coming off a 2-1 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Friday. Erik Portillo made his NHL debut in goal for Los Angeles and made 28 saves to steal most of the headlines.
The Kings finally won back-to-back games after alternating wins and losses for five games.
“We’ve kind of been treading water a little bit,” Kings coach Jim Hiller said. “We really want to start stretching some wins together.”
Alex Laferriere had a goal and an assist against Anaheim to give him back-to-back multipoint games, and fellow forward Alex Turcotte scored against the Ducks to give him three points (one goal, two assists) in his past four games.
Turcotte did not have a shot on goal in the previous two games, so he didn’t hesitate to shoot the puck at the end of a 2-on-1 rush against Anaheim. Turcotte said the coaching staff has encouraged him to shoot the puck more.
“I’m trying to do all the little things out there and make plays, but I’ve still got to get the puck on net sometimes and be a little bit selfish,” he said. “I’m happy I got the opportunity (against the Ducks).”
Los Angeles defenseman Brandt Clarke comes in on a three-game point streak (one goal, two assists).

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

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.
