‘Dangerous’ Anthony Beauvillier rising to occasion for Islanders
NY Post
Anthony Beauvillier may be one of the top two Islanders’ point producers in the playoffs so far, but the second-line winger could have double the amount of goals with the number of opportunities he’s had this postseason.
That’s just been Beauvillier’s M.O. during the Isles’ last two playoff runs: elevating his game from the regular season and generating more high-danger scoring chances when it matters the most. Heading into Game 4 of the second-round series against the Bruins on Saturday night at Nassau Coliseum, Beauvillier was tied with Jean-Gabriel Pageau for the most points on the team with four goals and five assists. According to Natural Stat Trick, Beauvillier has registered 11 high-danger scoring chances, just one fewer than top-line center Mathew Barzal.
PHOENIX — Wednesday brought some cautiously optimistic updates for the Knicks frontcourt.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.
The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.
