TORONTO — The learning curve continues for Toronto FC. Wins are still in short supply, however. TFC squandered a two-goal lead — and a memorable opening goal by Italian star Federico Bernardeschi — and had to settle for a 2-2 tie Saturday with Charlotte FC on a night where the wind caused havoc at BMO Field. Toronto (1-1-4) has not lost since coughing up two late goals in the season-opening 3-2 defeat at D.C. United, extending its unbeaten Major League Soccer run to five games (1-0-4). But the p
MONTREAL (AP) — Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist, Antti Raanta got his fourth shutout of the season, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-0 on Saturday night.

OTTAWA — With the Stanley Cup playoffs just over two weeks away, Ilya Samsonov’s 30-save shutout in a 3-0 win over the Ottawa Senators Saturday night will not only benefit the goaltender but also his Toronto Maple Leafs teammates. Expectations, as always, are high for the Leafs (44-20-10) this post-season and having your goalie at his best is an encouraging sign. “That’s obviously what you want to see from him,” said Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe. “I didn’t think there was a whole lot of offenc

Max Strus and Kevin Love each scored 18 and Tyler Herro added 15 for the Heat. Miami won despite allowing Dallas to shoot a season-best 61%. “I wouldn't necessarily have dra

MONTREAL — Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta only made 14 saves but securing a shutout in his first game since March 7 gave his team the boost it needed.

OTTAWA — Virtually nothing went Brad Gushue's way in his opening game at the world men's curling championship on Saturday. Some stones picked. Other shots were simply missed. And a tough Switzerland side made the Canadians pay. Yannick Schwaller delivered an emphatic 8-3 win over Canada in a round-robin opener that was essentially over at the fifth-end break. "That was awful," Gushue said. "We haven't had our butts kicked like that in a long time." Canada bounced back in the evening draw with a
