Darren Helm’s reintegration to the Avalanche lineup will be handled with caution, but his increase in minutes and intensity won’t be gradual. In fact, it only took two periods to end up embroiled in a controversial penalty involving Sidney Crosby that left Helm and the Avs fuming.Helm’s victory lap season hasn’t gone as planned. Colorado’s 5-2 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday was just his sixth game, and his second return from a long-term injury. The 36-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche after winning the 2022 Stanley Cup, spent the first half of the title defense rehabbing from a lower-body injury, returned for five games, suffered a related injury, then missed another two months.“When it comes to groin, abdomen, all that, everything’s connected,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. After the second injury Jan. 12 in Chicago, there was organizational concern that Helm might be done for the year — an unceremon...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:04:18 GMT

With a week of spring training left, the situation has gained little clarity besides the first two games of the regular season, which will feature Logan Webb and Alex Cobb.It’s a good, if still tricky, problem to have.The Giants did not want a repeat last season, when short starts, spot starts and bullpen games taxed their relievers, so while they lost Carlos Rodón, they replaced him with two other experienced starters in Ross Stripling and Sean Manaea.

Pointing to increases in new technology, such as hypersonics, Austin said the budget proposes to spend more than $9 billion, a 40% increase over last year, to build up military capabilities in the Pacific and defend allies.The testimony comes on the heels of Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow, amid concerns China will step up its support for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine and increasingly threaten the West.China’s act...
