Logan Stankoven scores 2 as Hurricanes show big edge over Devils in Game 1 rout
Almost every concern surrounding the New Jersey Devils' playoff chances appeared warranted in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. With Jack Hughes out for the season, the Devils struggled to create offense. The Hurricanes' depth also looked far superior, and they swarmed New Jersey from puck drop on.

Carolina withstood a New Jersey push in the third period and won 4-1. The Hurricanes outshot the Devils New Jersey 45-24. They limited shots from dangerous areas early and had 55.96 percent of the expected goal share at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick.
To make matters worse for New Jersey, Brenden Dillon, Luke Hughes and Cody Glass left the game with injuries, though Hughes did return.
Jalen Chatfield opened the scoring for Carolina, and Logan Stankoven added a pair in the second. Nico Hischier scored New Jersey's lone goal late in the second period, but the Devils couldn't capitalize on chances in the third. Andrei Svechnikov scored an empty-net goal to seal the game.

Legendary Chaminade lacrosse coach Jack Moran retiring after 45 years
After 45 years, this frequent flyer is finally landing. Chaminade head lacrosse coach Jack Moran announced he's stepping down from his role — 21 championships and 629 wins later. 'I'm just going to miss the banter,' Moran, 73, told The Post. 'Most of the time with the kids, I can just give a look to them … whatever we do, do it at 100 percent effort 100 percent of the time. And I'm going to miss being able to say that to those guys every single day.' After Moran announced the end of his tenure, he received '178 text messages and about 100 emails' from former players wishing their old coach well. 'I know them all,' Moran said of those he instructed since 1979. 'I probably have a story for every one of them.' It's not his final flight, however. Moran will hold an advisory role with the prestigious Catholic program, where students cut from varsity teams are often still recruited for college. His focus will be on player development and team depth with enthusiastic second- and third-stringers as 'sulkers find out by sophomore year they aren't in the right sport.' Chaminade head lacrosse coach Jack Moran announced he's stepping down from his role — 21 championships and 629 wins later. Courtesy of Chaminade High School 'I'm not going to make every road trip. I'm going to spend time watching my grandkids play on the weekends, but I'll probably be at the Delbarton game,' he said of the New York-New Jersey rivalry. Assistant coach Gregory Kay, the school's chief academic officer and 1998 grad, will fill the coach's huge shoes next spring. Moran, whose Flyers last won it all in 2018, ended his career on a championship loss to the school's respected archrival, the St. Anthony's Friars, by a score of 16-12 last month. 'In fact, I was happy it was St. Anthony's,' Moran said. 'Because from going out, that's a team I want to go out with.' Jack Moran poses for a picture with some of his Chaminade players earlier in the season. Heather Khalifa for New YorK Post Semis are Place to be for Carle Place These Frogs don't want to croak in the big game. Carle Place's softball team is heading to the state semifinals and could bring home the Nassau County town's first state title in the sport. The 19-5 LI champions face 20-3 Chatham in the semifinals Friday night. 'We don't know anything about them, we're going in blind,' said sophomore third basemen Alexa Mifsud. Nevertheless, the squad is keeping cool and calm. Junior Isabella DeGroot, a first baseman who also pitches and plays the outfield, recalled pregame jitters of playing Cold Spring Harbor in the first round of the Nassau County games. They conquered CSP 18-0 and then 20-0 in the best-of-three series, and the Frogs used the moment to know the team can hang with the best of any competition thrown their way. 'We're going to have to be ready for all different kinds of pitches now — and we've done a lot of hitting drills for that,' DeGroot added. The USA Patriots amputee softball team, better known as the National Wounded Warrior squad, is traveling to Long Island to take on two local teams, the LI Senior All-Stars and LI All-Stars, at noon and 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Moriches Athletic Complex. Admission is free.
