ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon scored his second power-play goal of the game with 44.3 seconds left on the clock in overtime, and the Colorado Avalanche rallied for a 5-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night.Mikko Rantanen had two goals and two assists, and J.T. Compher also scored to help Colorado move two points ahead of Dallas atop the Central Division.

He had not played since Feb. 7 because of a lower-body injury.Frank Vatrano had two goals, Adam Henrique and Brett Leason also scored, and the Ducks picked up a second point in two nights to ...

Each of the previous two seasons, the MIAA boys lacrosse state championship has come down to a Catholic Conference showdown, with St. John’s Prep defeating rival BC High in both instances.Could John Pynchon’s group have visions of a three-peat? Given the number of familiar faces returning, it’s hard to envision a precipitous dropoff for the Eagles, and the St. John’s Prep coach is hopeful that this squad can continue what is quickly trending toward a dynastic run. The Eagles (22-1) parted ways with a few key players, including Providence commit Tommy Sarni, but welcomed back Jimmy Ayers, Matt Morrow and Jake Vana, to name a few.“We have a lot of returning guys,” said Pynchon. “But we have a ton of new faces on the defensive end.
