After loss, San Jose Sharks will finish as NHL’s last place team

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks played their final home game of the season on Saturday — and the result was a familiar one for anybody who has followed the team the last two seasons. The Sharks allowed two goals to Kirill Kaprizov in just 47 seconds late in the second period, turning what had been a close game into just another home loss, as the Minnesota Wild earned a 6-2 win before an announced sellout crowd of 17,435 on Fan Appreciation Night at SAP Center. Jan Rutta and Mario Ferraro scored for the Sharks, who lost at home for the 30th time in 41 home games this season — only a slight improvement from the 33 losses they had at their west downtown arena a year ago. The one positive for the big picture crowd – the Sharks are now locked into 32nd and last place in the NHL’s overall standings, meaning they will have a 25.5% percent chance of winning next month’s NHL draft lottery. The top player available is ex-Jr. Sharks star Macklin Celebrini, who won the Hobey Baker Award as

Spring rain hits Central California, causes trees and power lines to fall

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Windshield wipers were hard at work on Saturday afternoon as the rain came down. But so were Fresno City crews. Crews were chopping down this tree that fell into some powerlines on Eighth and Lyell Street in Southeast Fresno. The branches were also leaning on top of the home’s roof. “We haven’t seen a ton of outages, but we have seen some,” PG&E spokesperson Jeff Smith said. “We’ve seen downed wires, we’ve seen some downed powerlines, and that’s a result of some the pretty significant winds we saw earlier in the afternoon.” PG&E says most of the outages from Saturday’s soaker were within the city of Fresno. During active weather like this, PG&E says it keeps an especially close eye on the rural areas. “Particularly in those mountain areas, like I mentioned, are access issues,” Smith said. “If you’ve got trees or shrubbery or things like that that are impeding our crews’ ability to access those areas, that’s always a concern.” Smith says the recent sunshine gave crews a chance to rest and prep their equipment for the rain and wind.

A’s strike out 18 times in 3-1 loss to Gore, Nationals

A season-low Coliseum crowd of 3,330 watched the A’s strike out a season-high 18 times Saturday, including 11 against Washington starter MacKenzie Gore, in a 3-1 loss to the Nationals. Gore tied a career high with 11 strikeouts and CJ Abrams hit an RBI triple to help drop the A’s to 6-9 overall this season. J.D. Davis and Lawrence Butler each struck out three times and four other A’s whiffed twice as Oakland has now struck out an average of 10.8 times per game, tops in the major leagues. The A’s have struck out 42 times over their last three games, including 14 in a 1-0 loss in Texas on Thursday. Gore (2-0) tossed five scoreless innings, throwing 90 pitches and striking out the last five batters he faced. He struck out the side in the fifth before giving way to the bullpen. Nationals pitchers combined for 18 strikeouts. Kyle Finnegan recorded his fifth save of the season. “It’s beautiful,” manager Davey Martinez said of Gore’s performance. “He attacked the strike zone, he goes out there and he competes. Hopefully now, we can see that

Sharks prospect, Boston College come up short in NCAA title bid; decision awaits

San Jose Sharks prospect Will Smith and his Boston College teammates didn’t have the storybook ending to their season they were looking for Saturday. Boston College allowed second period two goals and were unable to beat goalie Matt Davis at the other end in a 2-0 loss to Denver in the NCAA Division I national championship game at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. Rieger Lorenz led Denver with a goal and an assist and Davis finished with 34 saves. Smith, selected fourth overall by the Sharks at last year’s NHL Draft, had seven shots on net – including one a first-period breakaway that Davis stopped. He finished a remarkable freshman season at BC with 71 points in 41 games. Now Smith is faced with a decision whether to sign an entry-level contract with the Sharks and turn pro or return to Chestnut Hill for his sophomore season. The Sharks finish the season with two road games, as they play the Edmonton Oilers on Monday and the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Sharks general manager Mike Grier was not in Minnesota this week, a team

Israel begins to respond to Iran’s drone attack

Air sirens sounded and aerial defense operations were in place in Bethlehem and Jerusalem after Iranian drones were launched Saturday evening toward Israel. U.S. forces in the Middle East have shot down some of the Iranian-launched drones, two U.S. officials told CBS News. Charles Faint, the deputy editorial director for the Modern War Institute at West Point, joins CBS News with more on how Israel could respond to the attacks.

Biden meets with national security team as US pledges ‘support’ for Israel against Iran

By ZEKE MILLER and MICHELLE L. PRICE (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden cut short a weekend stay at his Delaware beach house and was returning to the White House on Saturday to meet with his national security team and monitor the situation in the Middle East as Iran launched an attack against Israel. Tensions are at their highest since the Israel-Hamas war began six months ago after a suspected Israeli strike this month on an Iranian consular building in Syria killed 12 people, including two senior Iranian generals in the Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force. Iran has promised to retaliate against Israel, and U.S. and Israeli officials have been bracing for an attack, raising concerns about the conflict escalating into a wider regional war. Biden boarded the presidential helicopter from a park near his house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, to return to Washington Saturday afternoon shortly before Israeli officials confirmed that they had detected drones being launched toward their territory from Iran. He was set to convene a principals meeting of the National Security Council in the White House Situation Room to

SF Giants turn power back on to beat Rays with 5 home runs

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Somebody apparently paid the electricity bill because the Giants turned the power back on Saturday after a week in the dark. Seven of the Giants’ runs in an 11-2 romp over the Rays came on a quintet of longballs, two from Thairo Estrada, evening their weekend series and snapping a seven-game homerless drought, the longest dry spell from the club in nearly a decade. Another pair was driven in on a bases-loaded single from Mike Yastrzemski, one of three recently rare base hits from Giants hitters with runners in scoring position. With Logan Webb at or near the best he’s been this season, timely hitting and a little power proved to be a winning formula. “It seemed like everything worked for us today,” Estrada said in Spanish through interpreter Erwin Higueros. “We got some big hits, some home runs; it’s a much better feeling today,” said manager Bob Melvin, admittedly cranky after his team managed only one run while going 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position Friday to open the series. The Giants had lost eight of their past 11 games

Sharks update: World championships, Cooley on ‘gonna die’ comment, and Labanc’s final home game?

SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks forwards Mikael Granlund, Fabian Zetterlund and William Eklund were coy about whether they would compete in next month’s IIHF World Championships in Czechia. The Finnish-born Granlund and Sweden’s Zetterlund said they’ve spoken to their national team’s respective coaches about playing in the tournament. Eklund did not wish to say if he’s spoken with Swedish hockey officials. The Sharks have three games left, starting with Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Wild, the team’s home finale. They finish the season with games against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday and the Calgary Flames on Thursday. “We’ll see what’s going to happen,” said Granlund, who led the Sharks with 56 points before Saturday’s game. “I’m healthy right now and I’ve always liked to play in those tournaments.” Granlund has played in six world championships for Finland, most recently in 2022 when he had 11 points in nine games to help lead Finland to a gold medal. Granlund also won gold in 2011, and silver in 2016 when he was named to the all-tournament team. “In Finland. It’s a big tournament and as a player
