SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks forward Luke Kunin isn’t one to shy away from confrontation, as demonstrated by the nine fighting majors he’s received in 2023-24, establishing a new single-season career-high. But there’s a limit to everything. Just 10 seconds before he scored a second-period goal against Arizona on Sunday, his 10th of the season, Kunin leveled Coyotes defenseman Travis Dermott with a hit behind the Coyotes net. On Kunin’s first shift after the goal, Dermott’s defense partner, Josh Brown, made a beeline toward the Missouri native, crunched him against the side-boards, and challenged him to a fight. Kunin skated away, but tried to hit Brown a few seconds later behind the Coyotes net. Brown responded by throwing a handful of punches. Kunin kept his gloves on, as Brown took the only penalty, a roughing minor, at the 14:46 mark of the second. “I’m not trying to hit anyone from behind. Just kind of trying to play physical,” Kunin said. “That’s kind of part of it, I guess, now. You hit someone, they go down and you’ve kind of got to answer. “I didn’t

SAN FRANCISCO — In a season in which Klay Thompson has had to grapple with his basketball mortality, he proved once more that he’s still a god-level shooter. Thompson poured in 32 points in 28 minutes, going 6-for-13 from behind the arc and 12-for-23 overall. Thompson has played more games than any year since his twinning significant injuries — his torn Achilles and torn ACL — and feeling 100% while doing so. “I just felt really good, body-wise today,” Thompsons said postgame. “Didn’t feel any pain anywhere. I thought that transferred over nicely into the game…82 game (season), you’re not going to be 100% every night. What have I missed, three or four games this year? That’s incredible after two years of rehab, plus. That’s something I can hang my hat on and be proud of: being durable throughout the season.” The Warriors (43-35) decided to rest Steph Curry and easily won anyway, 118-110. The score was only that close because of the last few minutes with Golden State’s deep reserves stumbling out the clock. Behind Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Chris

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks allowed an early third-period goal to Dylan Guenther and fell apart from there in what became a 5-2 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday at SAP Center. A Sharks turnover at their blue line helped the Coyotes break a 2-2 tie, as Alex Kerfoot took control of the puck along the boards. He found an open Guenther across the middle, and Guenther fired a shot past Sharks goalie Mackenzie Blackwood at the 4:56 mark of the third period for his 14th goal of the season. Coyotes forward Clayton Keller then scored with 5:47 left in regulation time, helping to seal the Sharks’ 12th loss in their last 14 games. Nick Schmaltz added an empty netter with 3:06 left to play after the Sharks pulled goalie Mackenzie Blackwood. “I actually liked the first four and a half minutes of the third,” Sharks coach David Quinn said. “Their first shot and first scoring chance goes in and then we just really unraveled a little bit. “It’s disappointing because I thought we were doing a lot of good things.” The

SAN JOSE – Alexander Barabanov’s season and his San Jose Sharks career appear to be over as there remains no sign of the injured winger getting back on the ice with less than two weeks left in the regular season. Barabanov was injured blocking a shot in the Sharks’ game against the Dallas Stars on March 26. He was seen in a protective walking boot after the game and two days later, Sharks coach David Quinn announced that Barabanov was week to week. Quinn agreed the odds are against injury-riddled Barabanov, who had 13 points in just 46 games this season, from returning this month. The Sharks’ season ends on April 18 with a game in Calgary against the Flames. Barabanov, who turns 30 in June, had 48 points in 67 games with the Sharks last season. “We missed him for sure,” Quinn said Sunday before the Sharks played the Arizona Coyotes. “He’s a guy that we had last year and was a good player for us. Just seemed like right from the get-go, anytime things started going well for him, he got hurt. “Unfortunately

SAN FRANCISCO — Add roaming the majors’ most difficult outfield to the list of cultural, lingual and baseball adjustments Jung Hoo Lee is facing in his transition from Korea to the major leagues. In his second game at Oracle Park, the 25-year-old center fielder got an introduction to the unique natural elements that led Mike Yastrzemski, who knows this grass better than anyone, to distinguish the Giants’ waterfront ballpark to be “the hardest outfield to play.” With first pitch at 6:06 p.m. Saturday, the sun was still glaring behind home plate when Padres leadoff man Xander Bogaerts lifted a pop fly to shallow center field. It should have been a routine play, but Lee lost the ball in the sun from the moment it left Bogaerts’ bat, falling to the grass for a base hit. The misplay eventually led to all four runs in the Giants’ 4-0 loss to the Padres. Lee later approached Yastrzemski, who said he was “pretty beaten up about it,” but the Gold Glove finalist echoed what manager Bob Melvin said after the game. “I just told him, ‘Man, there’s nothing

Monday, April 8, 2024 3:22AM A Southwest Airlines flight to Houston had to land in Denver after the plane’s engine cover began to tear during takeoff from the Denver airport.
