Thursday things you might have missed

NHL

  1.  After falling behind halfway through the game, the Tampa Bay Lightning showed the grit of a 2-time defending champion. They rallied for another late win to move just 1 win away from returning to the Stanley Cup Final. Ondrej Palat scored on a deflection with 1:50 remaining to break a tie. Mikhail Sergachev had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Hagel also scored to help the Lightning get their 3rd straight victory. The 1st by a road team in this series. Andre Vasilevskiy stopped 24 shots. The Lightning persevered to a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday night for a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference final.

  1. Veteran pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul paid a visit to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, a source told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Pierre-Paul, 33, spent the last 4 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 3-time Pro Bowler recorded only 31 tackles and 2.5 sacks last year while battling a shoulder injury that found him on the sidelines for 5 regular-season games.

The Walton-Penner family entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Broncos on Tuesday, reportedly paying $4.65 billion – a new U.S. sports record.
