Aaron Rodgers wanted to seek out guidance from a fellow professional athlete who has a similar career path as him. Ex Green Bay Packers quarterback Drew Barry made the brave decision to leave Wisconsin for New York City this spring, requesting and receiving a trade with the Jets. Rodgers, who will more likely be remembered for the Super Bowl championship and MVP awards he received to Lambeau Field, has the opportunity to revisit some memories of his own with the team from Florham Park, New Jersey.

Why be world-class at one sport when you can be world-class at two? I'm sure Steph Curry, the NBA star who also excels on the golf course, would be a natural performer. At the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament, the Golden State Warriors icon is competing against some of his closest sporting stars, and he leads by four points going into the weekend with a spectacular round on Friday. Curry had 27 points in the first round under a new Stableford scoring system that gave a point for birdie, three for birdie, and six for eagle, deducting two points for double bogey or worse.

With Dallas trailing 3-1 in its playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Finals, Joe Pavelski netted a game winner in overtime to ensure that the Stars live to fight another day. On Thursday night, Pavelski converted overtime from the middle of the left circle to the far post. Stars forward Roope Hintz thought he had wrapped the game up with a shot near goal just seconds before his goal was denied by Vegas goaltender Adin Hill. Brayden McNabb, a Vegas defenseman, was suspended for high-sticking against Ty Dellandrea. With roughly 1:10 of power play time remaining until McNabb's return to the ice, Dallas scored.

Consider the Toronto Maple Leafs as the most complete NHL elite to be completely confounded by the eighth-seeded Florida Panthers. The Panthers defeated the Leafs 3-2 in Toronto on Thursday, giving them a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals following their first-round upset of the top-seeded Boston Bruins. Sheldon Keefe, the Leafs' head coach, was particularly worried about the Panthers' second-period results, in which the Panthers scored two unanswered goals. 'Disappointing' Keefe said, 'Baffling.' We didn't make those mistakes one time in the last series [first round against Tampa].'

Despite allowing an opposing player to score four goals, the team had won its second night in a row. Even with Joe Pavelski scoring four goals for the Stars, Seattle defeated Dallas 5-4 on Tuesday. Before that game in the playoffs, teams with four goals had been 36-3, and it had been 30 years since a team had beat such results. Chandler Stephenson, Michael Amadio, Mark Stone, and Jack Eichel scored for the Knights in addition to Barbashev. Eichel's goal was an empty netter from deep inside his zone, and he and Stones were able to assist him. Zach Whitecloud had two assists. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes got goals from Brett Pesce and Seth Jarvis in the first round, allowing Carolina to roar on New Jersey en route to a 5-1 win on Wednesday night to begin this best-of-seven sequence.

In second-round playoff series, the Florida Panthers shocked the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 to draw first blood, while the Maple Leafs threwled their first blood, while the Maple Leafs escaped a squandered two-goal lead. Meanwhile, Yanni Gourde scored 12:17 into overtime and the Seattle Kraken defeated Dallas 5-4 in Game 1 of their second-round series Tuesday night, despite Joe Pavelski scoring all four Stars goals in his return to their lineup. Pavelski, 38 years and 295 days old, became the first player to play in a four-goal game in the NHL playoffs. It came in in his 170th postseason game, making him one of only five players without winning a Stanley Cup.

After taking a long replay review by officials Monday night, Dallas center Joe Pavelski suffered in the Stars' loss in their playoff opener after taking a big blow from Minnesota defenseman Matt Dumba, who wasn't assessed a major penalty for it. Dumba was suspended for two minutes for roughing, but the referees had inadvertently announced a five-minute major penalty late in the game's second period, when the Wild won 3-2 in double overtime. 'I thought it was a clean hit to be honest.' I expected (the refs) that they would all be the same. According to Dumba, shoulder should be on the shoulder.' I don't even know why I was hurt, presumably because I was still in the box.'
