Heliot Ramos' sliding catch
When the Ottawa Senators selected Shane Pinto 32nd overall in the 2019 NHL Draft, some Sens fans raised an eyebrow or two, wondering if Hamilton Bulldogs winger Arthur Kaliyev might have been the better choice. Kaliyev had just put up a 51-goal OHL season, and ended up being chosen by the LA Kings with the very next pick after Pinto.

First image of Christian Gonzalez facing Stefon Diggs at Patriots camp
The New England Patriots showed off the first image of All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez lining up against four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a social media post on Thursday. Gonzalez admitted earlier in the week that he was excited to match up against Diggs in practice. Iron sharpens iron, as the saying goes. Gonzalez is on the rise as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and Diggs is looking to climb back into the elite tier of wide receivers, following an ACL injury last October. Before the injury, Diggs was coming off six straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. There's hope that he can get back to that same level in New England. One way for Diggs to test himself is frequent head-to-head matchups against one of the top corners in the game. Gonzalez recently made ESPN's top-10 cornerbacks list, which polled votes from executives, coaches and NFL scouts around the league. The former Oregon standout landed at No. 6 in the rankings with one NFL assistant comparing him to the No. 1 player on the list, Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II. "I think Gonzo is the next great one," a veteran NFL assistant said, via ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Skills, patience, length. He's the closest thing to Pat [Surtain II]. Smooth, big athlete, travels a lot, can matchup against the best guy." Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Denny Hamlin adds contract extension with Joe Gibbs Racing to celebratory week after win at Dover
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin has signed a multiyear contract extension with Joe Gibbs Racing, the team said Friday. Details of the contract were not announced. The deal comes during the same week in which the driver of the No. 11 car won in Dover for his 58th career Cup victory. He ranks 11th all-time in career victories, a resume that includes three Daytona 500 wins, three Southern 500 wins and one Coca-Cola 600. Hamlin will try to win his fourth crown jewel race in Sunday's Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 'Joe and everyone at JGR are family to me and have done so much for me over the last 20 years,' Hamlin said. 'We've had a solid start to this season and we have been able to welcome some great new partners this year, so there are a lot of exciting things happening with our team not only now, but also into the future.' Hamlin ranks fourth in this season's points. He's made all 706 of his Cup starts with JGR and is the longest tenured driver in team history. He also has 244 top-five finishes, 369 top-10s and has won the pole 44 times. 'I really appreciate Denny and everything he has meant to our organization,' Gibbs said. 'It is just really special when you think about everything we've experienced over the past 20 years, from that first moment when J.D. (Gibbs) recognized his talent at a test session, until now. It is remarkable in any sport to compete at the level Denny has for this long and we are thrilled he has been able to spend his entire career with us.' Hamlin and NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan also are co-owners of NASCAR's 23XI Racing team, which is embroiled in a court battle to retain their charter in the series. Last week, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell denied a request from Front Row Motorsports and 23XI Racing for a temporary restraining order to prevent Cup officials from revoking their charters. That means the six cars owned by those teams will race as open entries this weekend and perhaps longer. Hamlin's team fields three drivers — Bubba Wallace, Riley Herbst and Tyler Reddick. ___ AP auto racing:

Justin Fields returns to Jets practice day after toe injury
Justin Fields returned to the practice field on Friday, but the New York Jets' starting quarterback did not participate in drills a day after suffering an injury to a toe on his right foot. Fields was carted off the field early during Thursday's practice and is now being evaluated by the Jets staff on a daily basis. The 26-year-old, in the first year of a $40 million contract with the Jets, wore his helmet Friday as he spent most of practice on the sideline and with the rest of the offense. He appeared to be walking without a noticeable limp. Veteran backup QB Tyrod Taylor led New York's offense during practice, with Adrian Martinez and rookie Brady Cook also receiving snaps. Fields was hurt when a teammate stepped on his foot while he threw an incomplete pass to Jeremy Ruckert on his fifth play of team drills on Thursday. The Jets' QB1 sat on the grass for a few moments before getting up and limping badly to the sideline while being helped by a trainer. He then sat in the passenger seat of a cart that took him from the field to the facility, where he got up and walked under his own power. "When anybody goes down, there's a lump in my throat," head coach Aaron Glenn said. "Listen, I hate injuries for any player, but the thing is I want to make sure that I understand exactly what the injury is before I move forward on my thought process." The team later said Fields would be evaluated daily and that it was unlikely he'd miss significant time. Fields signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Jets in March after appearing in 10 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. Taylor, the Jets' oldest player who turns 36 in August, is the backup and immediately replaced Fields in team drills. Fields was selected No. 11 overall by the Chicago Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. In three seasons with the Bears, he went 10-28 as a starter, before landing with the Steelers. Fields was 4-2 as Pittsburgh's starter before being supplanted by veteran Russell Wilson.
