THREE HARD LAPS

* Montreal, the most-decorated franchise in NHL history, is headed to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in over 28 years thanks to an overtime goal in Game 6 by Artturi Lehkonen.
* Montreal received noteworthy performances from veterans Carey Price and Shea Weber, who are set to make their first career Stanley Cup Final appearance.

* The Canadiens’ opponent will be either the Islanders or Lightning, who contest Game 7 of their Stanley Cup Semifinals series tonight in Tampa.

CANADIENS CLINCH FIRST STANLEY CUP FINAL BERTH SINCE 1993
Artturi Lehkonen scored 99 seconds into overtime to power Montreal into the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1993, when the Canadiens earned a five-game triumph over Wayne Gretzky and the Kings to capture their NHL-record 23rd championship since the League’s founding in 1917-18.

* Lehkonen became the ninth player in franchise history to score an overtime goal to put the team into the Stanley Cup Final. Lehkonen became the first to do so in more than 40 years, since 1979 when Yvon Lambert beat Bruins goaltender Gilles Gilbert in Game 7 of the Semifinals. The Canadiens went on to defeat the Rangers in the championship series to win their fourth straight Stanley Cup.

* Lehkonen became the second Montreal player this postseason to score a series-clinching goal in overtime, following Tyler Toffoli who did so in Game 4 of the Second Round.

* Montreal is the first Canadian-based team to clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup Final since 2011, when Vancouver did so before losing to Boston in seven games. Overall, there have been five instances of a Canadian club reaching the Final since the Canadiens last won a championship (VAN in 1994, CGY in 2004, EDM in 2006, OTT in 2007 & VAN in 2011), but each team fell to a stateside opponent.

CANADIENS TO CLASH WITH ISLANDERS OR LIGHTNING IN STANLEY CUP FINAL
Montreal’s Stanley Cup Final opponent will be either New York or Tampa Bay, which contest their series finale tonight at AMALIE Arena.
* The Canadiens carry a 3-1 record in four all-time postseason series against the Islanders, recording wins in the 1976 Semifinals1977 Semifinals and 1993 Conference Finals. New York earned a six-game triumph over Montreal in the 1984 Conference Finals.

* The Canadiens and Lightning have met in three Stanley Cup Playoffs series, including two when the clubs competed in the Atlantic Division for seven seasons from 2013-14 to 2019-20 (2004 CSF2014 R1 & 2015 R2). Tampa Bay owns a 2-1 edge in its three series against Montreal.


PRICE SHINES ONCE AGAIN, SURPASSES VEZINA ON FRANCHISE LIST

Carey Price made 37 saves, including 16 in the third period and overtime, to improve to 8-5 in potential series-clinching games and 12-5 overall in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

 

* Price (8-5) surpassed Georges Vezina (7-1) for sole possession of the fourth-most series-clinching wins in franchise history, behind Ken Dryden (19-6), Patrick Roy (15-9) and Jacques Plante (13-2). He has won each of his last five such contests dating to Game 6 of the 2015 First Round against the Senators.

 

* Price, who improved to 9-3 in his playoff career when making at least 35 saves (4-0 in 2021), is set to become the fourth goaltender selected in the 2005 NHL Draft to appear in the Stanley Cup Final. The fifth-overall pick will join Stanley Cup winners Tuukka Rask (21st overall) and Jonathan Quick (72nd overall) as well as Ben Bishop (85th overall).

 

MORE GAME 6 QUICK HITS

Canadiens captain Shea Weber scored a power-play goal to put Montreal up 1-0. Weber (8) trails only John Carlson (12), P.K. Subban (11) and Kris Letang (9) for the most career power-play goals in the playoffs among active defensemen.

Canadiens forward Cole Caufield (20 years, 173 days) became the second-youngest player in franchise history with a goal in a potential series-clinching game, behind Henri Richard (20 years, 27 days) who had 2-2—4 in Game 5 of the 1956 Semifinals.

* Caufield (4-1—5 in 6 GP) concluded the Stanley Cup Semifinals with four goals against the Golden Knights. Only two Montreal rookies have had more in a single series: Odie Cleghorn in the 1919 NHL Final (7-1—8 in 5 GP) and Gerry Plamondon in the 1949 Semifinals (5-1—6 in 7 GP).

STANLEY CUP FINAL BERTH AT STAKE IN LIGHTNINGISLANDERS GAME 7

Tampa Bay and New York will decide their series tonight when the teams take to the ice at AMALIE Arena for Game 7, with the winner moving on to face Montreal in the Stanley Cup Final.

* Friday’s finale marks the 36th all-time Game 7 in a Conference Finals/Semifinals series. Among the 35 teams that won a Game 7 to clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Final, 21 ended up hoisting the Cup that year (60%).

Brayden Point, who can match the NHL record for longest goal streak in a playoff year with a tally tonight, is one of 12 current Lightning players who dressed in their last winner-take-all showdown. Tampa Bay was blanked in the finale of the 2018 Conference Finals by Washington, which had Barry Trotz as its head coach.

 

Brock Nelson (1-2—3 in 2 GP) and former Lightning defenseman Braydon Coburn (2-1—3 in 8 GP), who has yet to play this postseason, own the most career Game 7 points among current Islanders. Nelson recorded each of those points against Philadelphia in the 2020 Second Round when he became the first player in franchise history with three points in a Game 7. Overall, Nelson has 9-6—15 in 12 career potential series-clinching games and ranks among the NHL leaders in goals-per-game in such contests (0.75 G/GP).

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL, MN – The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have placed right-handed pitcher Randy Dobnak on the 10-day Injured List with a right middle finger strain, retroactive to June 21.

To replace Dobnak on the 26-man roster, the Twins have recalled right-handed pitcher Griffin Jax from Triple-A St. Paul.

TCU’s Davis Named a Preseason All-American

TCU’s Derius Davis has been named a preseason All-American at punt returner by Phil Steele’s College Football Preview.

Davis led the Big 12 and ranked fifth nationally last season in punt return average at 14.5 yards. He was one of only three players in the FBS with two punt returns for touchdowns, reaching the end zone from 67 and 37 yards against Baylor and Kansas, respectively. He is tied for second in TCU history with three career punt return TDs on just 17 attempts.

A senior from Saint Francisville, La., Davis placed fourth on the Horned Frogs in 2020 with 15 receptions and had a career game with six catches for 139 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown, in a 29-22 late-season win over No. 15 Oklahoma State.

A-State Football Names Baldus Special Teams Coordinator

Jonesboro, Ark – Arkansas State head football coach Butch Jones announced Thursday that Curt Baldus has been named the Red Wolves’ special teams coordinator.

 

Baldus comes to A-State after most recently spending the 2020 season as a special teams analyst at Florida State, but his extensive coaching experience also includes stops at Coastal Carolina (2013-19), Nebraska (2006, 2008-12), Buffalo (2007) and St. Cloud State (2002-04).  The 19-year coaching veteran has tutored six All-Americans, five NFL Draft selections, six additional NFL players and three national award semifinalists.

 

“Curt Baldus brings a wealth of experience to our staff, not only in terms of his ability to direct, teach and provide the motivation necessary to play championship-level special teams, but also in recruiting, knowledge of the Sun Belt Conference and the expertise to assist on the defensive side of the ball,” said Jones.  “We are excited to welcome Coach Baldus and his wife, Karoline, to the Arkansas State football family.”

 

During Baldus’ seven-year span working with special teams and defensive backs at Coastal Carolina, the Chanticleers won 56 games, made three consecutive NCAA playoff appearances and won back-to-back Big South championships prior to joining the Sun Belt Conference.

 

He personally worked with nine all-conference selections, and his athletes broke program records for longest field goal, most field goals made in a season, highest single-season field goal percentage, highest season punting average and longest punt.

 

Working as special teams coordinator in 2019, his final season at Coastal Carolina before joining the Florida State staff, the Chanticleers improved from 78th to 21st nationally in ESPN’s special teams efficiency ratings and ranked sixth nationally with a Sun Belt-best average of 15.2 yards per punt return.

 

Prior to his time in Conway, S.C., Baldus spent a total of six seasons at Nebraska in an offensive quality control position in 2006 before serving as a graduate assistant from 2008-12, working with wide receivers from 2008-10 and defensive line and special teams from 2011-12.  During his time with the Cornhuskers, the program collected four division titles and played in six bowl games.  The 2012 squad led the nation in pass defense.

 

In 2007, Baldus coached at Buffalo, working with the offensive line, kickers and punters.  The Bulls shared the Mid-American Conference East Division championship that season, claiming their first division title in program history.

 

Baldus began his career as a graduate assistant on offense at St. Cloud State from 2002-04.  The Huskies won 24 games over three seasons behind an offense that ranked 10th nationally in 2002 and ninth in the nation in 2003.

 

Baldus played defensive back, linebacker, punter and kicker at Gustavus Adolphus College.  He was an all-conference kicker and also was recognized on the academic all-district team.

 

Baldus earned his bachelor’s degree in both physical education and health fitness from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2002.  He completed a master’s degree in physical education and sport management from St. Cloud State in 2004 and earned a master’s degree in education administration from Nebraska in 2011.

Boston Recalls Infielder/Outfielder Michael Chavis from Triple-A Worcester

 

Boston, MA – The Boston Red Sox today placed infielder Christian Arroyo on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 21) with a right knee contusion. To fill Arroyo’s spot on the active major league roster, the Red Sox recalled infielder/outfielder Michael Chavis from Triple-A Worcester.

 

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

 

Arroyo, 25, was removed from Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Royals with a right shin bone bruise. The right-handed hitter has batted .264 (33-for-125) with four home runs and a .756 OPS in 41 games for the Red Sox this season, making each of his 33 starts at second base. Each of his four home runs has either tied the game or given the Red Sox a lead, including the club’s lone grand slam on June 16 against the Atlanta Braves.

 

Chavis, 25, has appeared in 11 games over three stints with Boston this season. He is 9-for-33 (.273) with one home run, four doubles, seven runs scored, and two RBI, making five starts at second base and two at first base. Chavis has played in 24 games with Worcester, batting .263 (25-for-95) with six home runs and an .801 OPS, with all six of his homers coming in the last 10 games. In 148 big league games (2019-21), he has hit .243 (128-for-526) with 24 home runs and 79 RBI.

Lions look for third-consecutive victory in seven-day stretch

 

Orlando, Fla. – Orlando City SC (5-1-3, 18 points) closes out a busy week of match play, set to play its third contest in seven days with a visit to Inter Miami CF (2-5-2, 8 points) on Friday, June 25. Kickoff is slated for 8 p.m. ET at DRV PNK Stadium.

 

The fixture will be nationally broadcast on FS1 and FOX Deportes, while being transmitted on 96.9 The Game in English and Acción 97.9FM, 810AM in Spanish.

 

“With this quick turnaround, we have to adjust as we did after Toronto and focus on the game in Miami. It’s a derby, it’s an important match for our franchise and our fans,” Head Coach Oscar Pareja said. “There’s the importance of the three points, but at the same time we know that this is a different game. We’re concentrating on the job and hopefully we can come up with a good result.”

 

Friday night will serve as the first fixture between the two Florida-based MLS clubs this season, with the two sides splitting the series a year ago at two victories apiece.

 

The Lions come into the contest after a resounding 5-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Tuesday. City jumped out to an early lead with Nani converting from the penalty spot in the seventh minute, followed by Benji Michel and Daryl Dike tallying their first finishes of the campaign before the break. The two would go on to each secure a brace in the second half, with Dike adding his second in the 49th minute and Michel closing out the scoring in the 90th minute.

 

Nani leads the side with five goals this season, followed by Tesho Akindele with three. Akindele sits tied for the team high in assists with Chris Mueller, each with four in the campaign.

 

Inter Miami returns to the pitch after dropping a 1-0 decision at D.C. United in its last outing. Ola Kamara scored the eventual game-winner in that match, converting from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute. Defender Ryan Shawcross and midfielder Gregore were both sent off in the match for Miami and will miss this Friday’s contest.

 

Gonzalo Higuaín leads the 2020 expansion side with four goals this year, the only member of the club with multiple finishes this season. Lewis Morgan leads the team with three assists.

 

Following Friday’s contest, the Lions will return home to host the New York Red Bulls on Saturday, July 3 at Exploria Stadium.
