Golden Knights' Nicolas Roy to have hearing with NHL
May 9 - Vegas Golden Knights forward Nicolas Roy will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Friday, one day after cross-checking Trent Frederic of the Edmonton Oilers.
Roy received a five-minute major and a game misconduct at 5:37 of overtime during the Golden Knights' 5-4 loss to the Oilers on Thursday in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal series in Las Vegas. Edmonton holds a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series heading into Game 3 on Saturday in Edmonton.
Roy attempted to play the puck while it was airborne but made contact with Frederic's head instead, resulting in a laceration for the Oilers forward.
Frederic briefly exited the game before making a quick return to the ice. Edmonton, however, failed to capitalize on the ensuing five-minute power play.
Roy, 28, has failed to record a point and owns a minus-4 rating over the first two games of this series.
He totaled 31 points (15 goals, 16 assists) in 71 games during the regular season.
A Stanley Cup winner with Vegas, Roy has recorded 166 points (68 goals, 98 assists) in 369 career games with the Carolina Hurricanes and Golden Knights.

Walk-off wild pitch sends Giants past Braves in 10th
June 7 - Tyler Fitzgerald, who was picked off to end the ninth inning, raced home as the 10th-inning automatic runner on a two-out, two-strike wild pitch by Atlanta Braves reliever Pierce Johnson, giving the host San Francisco Giants a 5-4 victory on Friday. After Spencer Bivens stranded the bases loaded in the top of the 10th, Fitzgerald advanced from second to third on Jung Hoo Lee's grounder that resulted in the inning's second out. Fitzgerald then dashed to the plate when Braves catcher Sean Murphy couldn't track down Johnson's errant curveball in the dirt. Bivens (2-2) was credited with the win, the Giants' third straight. The Braves, who rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to force extra innings, dropped their fifth straight. Johnson (1-2) took the loss. Jumping right back into action one day after allowing seven runs in the ninth inning of an 11-10 loss to the San Diego Padres, the Braves dug themselves an immediate hole in San Francisco when two errors contributed to a three-run Giants first. Fighting an uphill battle, the Braves finally drew even in the seventh on a two-run home run by Matt Olson, his 13th of the season. Atlanta got within 3-2 in the fourth when Murphy hit a sacrifice fly and a second run scored on a throwing error by Giants center fielder Lee. In the fifth, San Francisco's Dominic Smith lofted his second sacrifice fly of the night, creating the two-run cushion that Olson eventually erased. The Giants' big first off Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach was ignited by inning-opening singles from Heliot Ramos, Lee and Wilmer Flores, with Flores driving in a run. Smith made it 2-0 with his first sacrifice fly before a Schwellenbach wild pitch plated Flores with the third run. Schwellenbach made it through six innings, charged with four runs (three earned) on six hits. He walked two and struck out four. Giants starter Hayden Birdsong was pulled one out into the fifth. He allowed two runs on two hits. He walked five, struck out five and exited with a 3-2 lead. Ramos had three hits and Flores, who was at the plate at the time of the walk-off wild pitch, collected a pair for the Giants, who out-hit the visitors 8-6. The walk-off win was San Francisco's seventh of the season. Olson scored twice and Michael Harris II had two hits for the Braves, who were opening a six-game trip. --Field Level Media

Brad Marchand the hero as Panthers clip Oilers in 2OT to level Stanley Cup final
Brad Marchand scored on a breakaway in double overtime and the defending champion Florida Panthers punched back against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of their Stanley Cup final rematch, winning 5-4 on Friday night to even the series. Marchand's second goal of the night 8:04 into the second OT allowed Florida to escape with a split after Corey Perry scored to tie it with 17.8 seconds left in the third period and Stuart Skinner pulled for an extra attacker. Each of the first two games this final have gone to overtime, for the first time since 2014 and just the sixth in NHL history. Much like last year and the playoff run to this point, Sergei Bobrovsky was dialed in when he was needed the most, making some unreal saves while stopping 42 of the 46 shots he faced. His teammates provided the necessary goal support. Along with Marchand, Sam Bennett scored his postseason-leading 13th goal and NHL record 12th on the road. Seth Jones scored into a wide-open net after some spectacular tic-tac-toe passing, and fellow defenseman Dmitry Kulikov tied it with a shot through traffic that Stuart Skinner almost certainly did not see. Kulikov's goal came after Florida controlled play for several minutes in the second, hemming Edmonton in its zone shift after shift and piling up a 34-13 advantage in shot attempts during the period. Marchand's OT goal was his 10th career goal in the final to lead all active players. Game 3 is Monday night as the teams traverse the continent and play shifts to Sunrise. The Panthers wrested home-ice advantage away from the Oilers by splitting the first two, rebounding from a Game 1 overtime loss and asserting they won't go quietly against Draisaitl and Connor McDavid looking like they'll do everything in their power to hoist the Cup for the first time. Of course, those stars had their moments. They assisted on Evan Bouchard's goal when coach Kris Knoblauch put them on the ice together, and McDavid stickhandled through multiple defenders in highlight-reel fashion to set up Draisaitl scoring on the power play. There were a lot of those – 10 in total – after officials whistled 14 penalties, including three in the first four minutes. Each team had a few calls it was not happy with, though most of that evened out over the course of the game.
