DENVER (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon scored his NHL-leading 43rd goal and scored the winning goal in a shootout, lifting the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday in a matchup between two of the NHL’s top four teams in points.

TORONTO (AP) — Kelly Pannek scored an overtime winner to lead the Minnesota Frost over the Toronto Sceptres 3-2 in the PWHL. The Frost, who played without captain Kendall Coyne Schofield, picked up their first win in their second game following the Olympic break. Minnesota was coming off a shutout loss to the Montreal Victoire. Toronto extended its point streak to four games despite the loss. Forward Taylor Heise was in on all three goals for Minnesota. Her power-play slap pass set up Pannek for the winning goal seconds after Toronto’s Renata Fast was sent off for slashing.
(Madison, WI) — The Wisconsin women’s team has earned the second seed in the 2026 NCAA Hockey Tournament. That status was announced Sunday, the day after the Badgers were beaten in the WCHA tournament title game 2-1 by Ohio State.

Wisconsin hosts the winner of Quinnipiac or Franklin Pierce at LaBahn Arena Thursday.
(Milwaukee, WI) — Marquette put an exclamation point on a disappointing season by upsetting fourth-ranked UConn Saturday 68-62.

They are seeded seventh in the Big East Conference tournament and will take on Xavier Wednesday.

Guard John Blackwell had five 3-pointers and led the scoring with 25 points. Nick Boyd added 23 as Wisconsin played without injured senior forward Nolan Winter. The Badgers are seeded fifth in the Big Ten Conference tournament, and they will meet the winner between Washington and USC Thursday afternoon.
(Green Bay, WI) — The Packers have made a trade and extended the contract agreement with offensive lineman Sean Rhyan.
