WINNIPEG — Bruce Cassidy saw a puck hit the mask of Tuukka Rask and was worried for his goalie that had just come back from a concussion, but the Boston Bruins coach didn't have to worry for long.

DETROIT — The honours and accolades keep rolling in for coach Nick Nurse and the Toronto Raptors.

OTTAWA — Crowds don't usually give loud ovations for opposing players. But Alex Ovechkin isn't a regular opponent.

Toronto FC rewarded goalkeeper Quentin Westberg with a new contract Friday, seemingly consolidating his role as the MLS club's No. 1. Westberg, 33, originally signed with Toronto last February after arriving from French club AJ Auxerre.

EDINBURG, Texas — Canada captain Christine Sinclair, two days after her record-breaking performance against St. Kitts, was a spectator Friday as the Canadian team warmed up at training.
