Leverkusen says US forward Tillman will miss 2 more weeks with thigh injury

LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP) – Bayer Leverkusen forward Malik Tillman will be sidelined for another two weeks after sustaining a thigh injury during international duty with the United States.

The Bundesliga club announced on Sunday that examinations conducted in Leverkusen have clarified the full extent of Tillman’s injury and the expected recovery period.

The 23-year-old suffered a cramp in his thigh while training with the U.S. team last Monday. This injury forced him to miss the national team’s friendly victory over Australia, as well as Leverkusen’s 4-3 away win against Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

“Hope that it’s not a big issue,” American coach Mauricio Pochettino had said regarding Tillman’s condition.

Noah Cates’ overtime goal lifts Flyers to 2-1 win over Wild

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Noah Cates scored 2:36 into overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to their second win of the season, a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.

Dan Vladar stopped 15 shots and holds the only two wins for the Flyers in net through five games this season. He continues to distance himself from Samuel Ersson in the fight for the No. 1 goaltender spot.

The Flyers came out fired up from the opening faceoff in the third game of a four-game homestand. Flyers forward Nicolas Deslauriers engaged in an early-game brawl with fellow forward Marcus Foligno, which energized the crowd. Deslauriers, with a reddened and cut right cheek, threw his head back and waved his arms toward the crowd as he skated toward the penalty box.

Cates sealed the win by beating Jesper Wallstedt in the waning moments of overtime, sending a thinned-out crowd home happy.

Vladimir Tarasenko gave the Wild a 1-0 lead early in the second period by beating Vladar. Minnesota had just three shots on goal in the first period, coming off a 5-1 loss in Washington the night before.

Owen Tippett tied the game 1-1 early in the third period when he backhanded the puck from behind the net. The puck caromed off the back of Wallstedt’s left goalie pad and into the net. Wallstedt finished the night with 19 saves.

The Flyers needed a lucky bounce on Tippett’s third goal of the season to secure the win after starting with just one victory in their first four games under first-year coach Rick Tocchet.

**Up next:**
– Wild: Play Monday at the New York Rangers
– Flyers: Host Seattle on Monday

Panarin has goal, 3 assists as Rangers beat Canadiens 4-3 and improve to 3-0-1 on the road

MONTREAL (AP) — Artemi Panarin had a goal and three assists as the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 on Saturday night.

Mika Zibanejad contributed a goal and an assist, J.T. Miller also scored, and Matthew Robertson notched his first NHL goal for the Rangers. Adam Fox recorded two assists, while Jonathan Quick finished with 21 saves, helping New York improve to 3-0-1 on the road this season.

The Canadiens started strong with Juraj Slafkovsky and Nick Suzuki scoring within the first 3:42 of the game. Noah Dobson added a goal midway through the third period after the Rangers had taken a two-goal lead. Sam Montembeault made 18 saves as Montreal’s four-game winning streak came to an end.

Zibanejad got the Rangers on the scoreboard with a power-play goal with 8:04 remaining in the opening period. New York then scored three times in the first 5:51 of the third to take a 4-2 lead. Miller tied the game just 34 seconds into the period, and Robertson put the Rangers ahead for good at 4:11 into the period in only his sixth career game. Panarin extended the lead to two goals 1:40 later.

Montreal recalled Owen Beck on an emergency basis before the game, and fellow center Joe Veleno made his season debut following injury announcements earlier in the day regarding Kaiden Guhle, Patrik Laine, and Kirby Dach.

Panarin now has 33 points (eight goals, 25 assists) in 24 career games against the Canadiens.

Up next:
**Rangers:** Host Minnesota on Monday to open a two-game homestand.
**Canadiens:** Host Buffalo on Monday to finish a four-game homestand.

Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from deploying troops in Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued the order Saturday in a lawsuit brought by the state and city.

The Defense Department had announced it was placing 200 members of Oregon’s National Guard under federal control for 60 days to protect federal property at locations where protests are occurring or likely to occur, following President Trump’s description of the city as “war-ravaged.”

Oregon officials called that description ludicrous.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Portland has recently been the site of nightly protests, which typically drew a couple dozen people in recent weeks before the deployment was announced.
