The latest on Aaron Ekblad after taking puck to hand in Panthers' Game 2 Cup Final win
Take a sigh of relief, Florida Panthers fans. Aaron Ekblad appears to be OK. Panthers coach Paul Maurice on Saturday said the defenseman was fine after blocking a Darnell Nurse shot with his hand in the second overtime of Florida's eventual 5-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Friday. The blocked shot occurred 4:02 into the second period, with Ekblad's left hand taking the brunt of Nurse's wrist shot from the point. Ekblad skated to the bench in pain and was checked on by a trainer. He managed to play two more shifts in the game before Brad Marchand eventually ended it with his goal 8:05 into the second overtime to tie the best-of-7 series at 1-1. Ekblad has been one of the top point-producing defensemen this Stanley Cup playoffs. He's tied for third in the league among blueliners in points (11) and assists (eight) while being tied for fourth in goals (three) while averaging just shy of 24 minutes of ice time per game. When Ekblad is on the ice at five-on-five this postseason, the Panthers are controlling 56.98 percent of shot attempts — the highest rate among Florida defensemen — while outshooting opponents 145-125 and outscoring them 14-12. Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final is at 8 p.m. Monday from Sunrise's Amerant Bank Arena.

Lambourn wins English Derby to give trainer Aidan O'Brien his 11th victory at the classic
Associated Press EPSOM, England (AP) — Lambourn raced away from the pack to win the English Derby on Saturday, giving Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien his 11th win at the classic race. Lambourn set the pace early and then pulled away down the final stretch to win by about 3 1/2 lenghts. The 3-year-old colt, ridden by Wayne Lordan, entered the race at 13-2 after losing to 2-1 favorite Delacroix at Leopardstown in March. But Delacroix never looked like challenging this time and finished ninth. Lazy Griff (50-1) was second and Tennessee Stud came third. It was O'Brien's third consecutive win at the showpiece race. 'Wayne gave him him an incredible ride," O'Brien said. 'Everybody knew what he was going to do, he's very straightforward, Wayne knew he'd stay so he went forward." Lambourn was sired by 2014 Derby winner Australia, who in turn was sired by 2001 victor Galileo. 'It's incredible for everyone that we trained Australia to win the Derby and his sire as well, Galileo. I'm just a small part of it, everybody puts in so much, I can't tell you what a privelege it is," O'Brien said. 'Australia was a great Derby winner and his horses are so straightforward, just like him." ___ AP horse racing: in this topic
