The Minnesota Wild scored three goals in the third period of their 5-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena. The game was tied at two heading into the third before Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy lit the lamp in the first eight minutes of the period to give Minnesota the lead for good. After Mark Stone scored to bring Vegas within one, Joel Eriksson Ek put the game away with an empty-netter. Eriksson Ek had two goals in the victory, while Mats Zuccarello also found the back of the net. Minnesota is on a three-game winning streak. Michael Amadio and Jonathan Marchessault also scored for Vegas. The loss snapped the Knights two-game winning streak.

University of Minnesota head football coach P.J. Fleck is shutting down any speculation that he may be ready for a new job. It began last week after UCLA head coach Chip Kelly reportedly resigned to accept a job as the offensive coordinator at Ohio State.

Fleck heard the buzz about possibly leaving for the West Coast school after seven seasons with the Gophers. He issued a statement on social media over the weekend saying he was honored to be the coach at Minnesota and that he was ready to lead the team to an elite 2024 season.

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 24 points, Anthony Edwards added 23 and the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled away in the second half for a 121-100 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night in a matchup of two of the top teams in the Western Conference. Rudy Gobert had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds as the Timberwolves (37-16) remained atop the Western Conference with their third win in the last four games.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 36 points, 18 rebounds and five assists as the Bucks showcased their improved defense by trouncing the Denver Nuggets 112-95 on Monday night. For the first time all season, the Bucks have allowed fewer than 100 points in back-to-back games.
