Matt Boldy leads Wild past Kraken with another hat trick

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:46:30 GMT

Matt Boldy is on such a heater right now that it’s actually shocking when he doesn’t score a goal. Like over the weekend when the Wild earned a win over the Chicago Blackhawks despite Boldy not finding the back of the net.Naturally, Boldy made up for lost time on Monday night at Xcel Energy Center, netting a hat trick to lead the Wild to a 5-1 win over the Seattle Kraken.It’s impossible to be more locked in than Boldy has been over the past few weeks. Since Kirill Kaprizov went down with a lower-body injury on March 8, seemingly delivering a haymaker to their Wild in their battle for playoff positioning, Boldy has scored a whopping 11 goals.Not bad for a budding star who doesn’t even turn 22 years old until next week.Is it a coincidence that Boldy’s hot streak has coincided with the arrival of Marcus Johansson? Not at all. Boldy took his game to another level as soon as the Wild acquired Johansson at the trade deadline.That said, Boldy is dominating the...

Colorado poised to pass age limits, waiting periods for guns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:46:30 GMT

Colorado Democrats’ full slate gun law reform is all but cleared to land on Gov. Jared Polis’ desk after two more bills passed key legislative hurdles Monday.The two bills would limit all firearm purchases to 21 or older and institute a three-day waiting period on sales of firearms. The age limit passed its formal vote in the House of Representatives, while the waiting period passed on a preliminary voice vote after a nearly nine-hour debate in the chamber. It still has the formal vote to come, though Democratic majorities make it an all but foregone conclusion.The proposals join bills that would expand the state’s red-flag law and make it easier to sue gun manufacturers that passed the House this past weekend. To get there, Democrats invoked a little-used rule to limit debate after a multiday filibuster by Republicans against policies they see as contrary to the Second Amendment. The bills have all passed, or will soon pass, both legislative chambers. They still n...

Rockies spring training report: Michael Toglia shows power but is likely headed to Triple-A

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:46:30 GMT

If Michael Toglia is going down, he’s going down swinging a hot bat.The Rockies’ rookie first baseman and outfielder is very likely not going to be on the 26-man roster in San Diego for the season opener on Thursday. Still, Toglia continues to show why he’s such an intriguing talent.Toglia hit 4 for 4 against the Brewers Monday with two doubles, a home run and three RBIs. The switch hitter is 6 for 9 with five runs scored, four doubles and one home run in his last two games. He’s slashed .288/.366./.534 in the Cactus League.However, unless recent free-agent signing Juricson Profar doesn’t join the team because of lingering visa problems, Toglia will likely begin the season with Triple-A Albuquerque.In other words, Toglia isn’t quite ready for prime time.“(He’s) not there yet,” manager Bud Black told reporters Monday morning at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Ariz. “It’s a process. His strikeout rate is too high and his swi...

DETROIT (AP) — Khris Middleton scored a season-high 34 points against the team that drafted him, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons 126-117 without Giannis Antetokounmpo on Monday night.“With Giannis out, I knew I had to be aggressive,” said Middleton, who added eight rebounds and five assists. “I had to get to my spots and when I got there, I’ve either got to shoot or find the open man.”Milwaukee improved to an NBA-best 54-21 despite the absences of Antetokounmpo (knee), Jrue Holiday (personal) and Jae Crowder (calf).
