In the present, Peter Laviolette was just like the rest of the NHL, watching from afar as Alex Ovechkin approached and surpassed Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record. But during Laviolette’s three seasons with the Capitals, he witnessed Ovechkin’s chase to pass Gordie Howe for No. 2 on the all-time goals list and was perched behind...

Peter Laviolette chuckled as a grin started to spread across his face. His answer, in a way, was fitting given everything that has gone wrong for the Rangers recently.

Carlos Mendoza stuck with Jesse Winker and he responded with a triple that scored two runs to tie the game in what became a Mets' 3-2 walk-off win.

In an ideal scenario, Carlos Mendoza wouldn’t have used Luis Torrens at all.

A fan sprinted onto — and most of the way across — the Citi Field outfield Saturday night, causing a brief delay during the Mets’ game against the Blue Jays.

And after his first two appearances this season, with plenty of wrinkles to follow across the next 155 games to alter that outlook, Stanek said he feels similar to the version that ended 2024.

With each game, the outlook has become more dire for the unit.

With a first-period goal against the Wild on Tuesday, he has set career highs in goals (six) and points (20) with seven regular-season games remaining.

At some point, the spring of firsts — his first time cracking a major league roster, his first at-bat — will start to fade from J.C. Escarra.

In an ideal situation, the Yankees won’t need him in these spots often this year, but they needed him in this one.

This was never in the Yankees’ Plan A — or Plan B.

Of all his birthday games, Robinson said, this one ranked as his best.

The minutes and expanded roles could be fleeting.

In the eyes of Josh Hart, one layer to the Knicks’ defensive surge revolves around personnel.

The Yankees capped a historic opening weekend with four more home runs against the Brewers.

The Yankees’ glaring issue from 2024 showed up again, and it’s only the second game of the season. They committed five errors during a 20-9 win over the Brewers on Saturday in The Bronx, providing a sour asterisk to what will go down as a historic offensive game. Pablo Reyes, a non-roster invitee who got...

Nestor Cortes’ return to Yankee Stadium turned into an implosion, and the Brewers left-hander didn’t stay to talk about it.

The baseball world was quick to notice the oddly-shaped bats some Yankees players were using amid their blowout win against the Brewers on Saturday.

For one game, one nine-inning bundle of chaos for the history books, the Yankees made it easy to forget that 41 homers worth of power bolted to Queens and completely reshaped their offseason.

He became the fourth Yankee with at least three three-homer games, joining Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Alex Rodriguez.
