Penguins acquire goaltender Arturs Silovs in trade with Canucks
Silovs, 24, appeared in just 10 games for the Canucks this past season. However, the 6-foot-4 Latvian shined in the American Hockey League, where he led the Abbotsford Canucks to the Calder Cup Championship as the Playoff MVP.
In 21 regular-season games with Abbotsford, Silovs went 14-5-2 with a .908 save percentage and a career-best 2.41 goals-against average. In leading the team to its first Calder Cup, he went 16-7 in 24 games with a 2.01 GAA and a .931 save percentage.
With five shutouts in the playoffs, Silovs fell one shy of the AHL all-time record during a single postseason. He also became just the fourth goaltender to earn Playoff MVP honors.
Silovs, whose contract runs through the 2025-26 season, has compiled a 59-35-13 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.58 GAA in parts of five AHL seasons. In three years with Vancouver, he appeared in 19 games (18 starts) with an 8-8 record, .880 save percentage and 3.13 GAA.

Missouri extends coach Eliah Drinkwitz through 2029
Missouri extended football coach Eliah Drinkwitz's contract through the 2029 season on Thursday. Drinkwitz, 42, has guided the Tigers to a 38-24 record since his hiring in December 2019. Missouri went 11-2 in 2023 and 10-3 last season, the program's winningest two-year stretch since 2013-14. The Tigers are 27-7 (.794) at home under Drinkwitz, including 7-0 in 2024, and are 2-2 in bowl games. "I'm incredibly grateful for the continued belief in our vision for Mizzou Football," Drinkwitz said. "The Board of Curators, President (Mun) Choi, (athletic director) Laird Veatch and our donors and fans have shown a deep commitment to building a championship-caliber program. That means investing in the people throughout our building who work tirelessly for our student-athletes. I'm proud of the staff we've assembled and excited to keep pushing forward together." He is scheduled to earn $9 million this season, rising to $9.25 million in 2026 and $9.5 million in 2028. According to the USA Today database, Drinkwitz's total compensation for 2025 ranks tied for sixth in the Southeastern Conference. Missouri reached a high of No. 8 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll in 2023 and peaked at No. 6 last season. "The consistent progress we've seen under Coach Drinkwitz's leadership is inspiring," Veatch said. "This extension, along with increased investment in our coaching and support staff, reflects our commitment to sustaining success at the highest level. It's all part of our 'Will to Win' -- a clear statement that we're building championship programs." Drinkwitz and the Tigers open the 2025 season at home against Central Arkansas on Aug. 28. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Manny Pacquiao, Mario Barrios fight to majority draw
Manny Pacquiao's bid to become the oldest welterweight champion in boxing history fell short Saturday night as he failed to beat Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. But he didn't lose, either. Instead, the 46-year-old Pacquiao and the 30-year-old Barrios fought to a majority draw, with one judge giving Barrios a 115-113 win and the other two judges scoring it a 114-114 draw. The result allowed Barrios (29-2-2, 18 KOs) to retain his WBC welterweight belt. "I thought I won the fight," Pacquiao said afterward. "I mean, it was a close fight. My opponent was very tough. It was a wonderful fight. It was good." Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) already holds the record for oldest welterweight champion, winning the belt via split-decision over Keith Thurman in 2019. The Filipino legend was enshrined into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last month. Pacquiao dominated Saturday's fight early on, showing energy against his younger foe. Ultimately, though, CompuBox stats had Barrios landing more punches (120-101) and more jabs (45-20), though Pacquiao landed 81 power punches to Barrios' 75. Pacquiao held the lead on all three cards after 10 rounds, but Barrios took all three rounds on all three scorecards to avoid the upset. Age and stamina were definitely on Pacquiao's mind after the fight. "I need to continue my training for longer going into a championship fight," said Pacquiao, who lost his senatorial bid in the Philippines in May. "Because of the election, I started late, but it's OK. Of course I'd like a rematch. I want to leave a legacy and make the Filipino people proud." Don't tell that to Barrios. "His stamina is crazy," the champion said. "He's still strong as hell and his timing is real. He's still a very awkward fighter to try to figure out." As for a rematch, Barrios is ready. "I'll do the rematch. Absolutely. This was huge for boxing. I'd love to do it again." --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Oleksandr Usyk knocks out Daniel Dubois for second time
Oleksandr Usyk delivered a dominating performance Saturday night and knocked out Daniel Dubois in the fifth round in London to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Usyk knocked down Dubois twice in the fifth round to win the IBF belt. The second knockdown came after a vicious left hook and the referee counted Dubois out. Usyk, 38, already owns the WBC, WBA, WBO championship belts. The Ukrainian improved to 24-0 with 15 knockouts. "Thirty-eight is a young guy, 38 is only the start," Usyk said afterward. Usyk landed 37.3 percent of his punches while Dubois connected at just 19.6 percent. "I gave everything I had," said Dubois of London. "I take no credit away from the man. But I'll be back." This marks the second time Usyk has defeated Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs). He won with a ninth-round knockout in August 2023. Approximately 90,000 attended the fight at Wembley Stadium. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved
