Flames 3, Red Wings 0 – Markstrom shuts out Red Wings in Calgary's 3-0 win

Jacob Markstrom stopped all 33 shots Detroit took Thursday night in the Calgary Flames' 3-0 victory over the Red Wings. Markstrom recorded his ninth career shutout in his 12th season in the NHL. The Flames, who never trailed, took control of the game midway through the second period. Elias Lindholm scored first, followed about four minutes later by Andrew Mangiapane’s goal. Matthew Tkachuk added an empty-netter with about two minutes left in the game after Detroit pulled its goalie.

Canucks 4, Blackhawks 1 – Demko makes 29 saves, Canucks beat winless Blackhawks 4-1

Jason Dickinson, Tanner Pearson and Brock Boeser scored their first goals of the season as the Vancouver Canucks topped the winless Chicago Blackhawks 4-1. Thatcher Demko made 29 saves and Conor Garland added an empty-netter with 1:02 left to help the Canucks end a two-game slide. Vancouver scored two goals in the second period to take the lead for good. Alex DeBrincat scored a power-play goal for sputtering Chicago, which dropped to 0-4-1. The Blackhawks have been outscored 21-9 this season and haven’t led in any of their five games.

Chris Taylor hit three homers and drove in six runs to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Atlanta 11-2, cutting the Braves' lead to 3-2 in the best-of-seven NL Championship Series. The defending champion Dodgers have won seven straight postseason elimination games dating to last season. They also trailed 0-2 and 1-3 against Atlanta in the NLCS last year before rallying to win three straight at a neutral site in Texas. AJ Pollock homered twice for the Dodgers and had four RBIs. Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer for the Braves in the first inning.

Last Night

Cleveland Browns 17, Denver Broncos 14

Browns 17, Broncos 14 – Keenum, 3rd-string back Johnson lead Browns past Broncos

Case Keenum stepped in for Baker Mayfield and made the most of his first start in two years, leading Cleveland’s injury-ravaged offense and the Browns to a 17-14 win over the Denver Broncos. Keenum didn’t put up impressive stats, but he threw a touchdown pass and did enough — as did Cleveland’s maligned defense — to get the Browns a much-needed win. They survived without Mayfield, who sat out with a shoulder injury and could miss more time. Browns third-string back D'Ernest Johnson had a career-high 146 yards and a 4-yard TD. The Broncos lost their fourth straight and star linebacker Von Miller left in the first half with a leg injury and didn't return.
