From time to time, the schedule makers get a team into trouble, so to speak. That’s been the case for the Senators in their last two games. Yes, they come up against two of the best teams in the league, the Hurricanes and Lightning. Fortunately, both of these teams got to travel to Ottawa to play their second game of a back-to-back situation.

To the Senators’ credit, they played both games well. They competed against these strong teams in the beginning and then took advantage of these tired teams late on. They won 6-3 against the Hurricanes on Sunday, and won tonight against the Lightning by a score of 6-2. Let’s get into the details, focusing on the three best Senators who were great tonight.

Tim Stutzle

Stützle scored a big goal on the power play in the third period to put the Senators up 4-2. He also added two assistants. This was a game when he scored one of his best goals of the season against the Hurricanes on an incredible effort the length of the ice. With three points tonight, Stützle is guaranteed at least one point per game on the season, as he has 82 points after four games played.

jake sanderson

Sanderson scored two spectacular goals tonight, both using his skating ability to force the puck into the net. Keep in mind, Sanderson is a defenseman. This gave Sanderson a career high of 13 goals, surpassing his previous best of 11 goals set last season. He also had 51 points, making it the second consecutive season he has scored more than 50 points. This makes Sanderson the second defenseman in Senators history to score at least 50 points in multiple seasons. Eric Karlsson did this six times.

brady tkachuk

Tkachuk recorded a career-high four assists tonight. This gives Tkachuk six points from his last two matches. This takes Tkachuk to 58 points in 58 games. Tkachuk’s season was ruined early on due to a hand injury, which caused him to miss 20 games. For him to be at a point per game now and reach 60 points despite all the missed time shows you how good he is, and how well he’s been playing in recent weeks.

additional comments

Congratulations to Cam Crotty on his first NHL point. In his four games with the Senators, he has been solid, averaging over 14 minutes of ice-time per game. With two points tonight, Drake Batherson tied his career high of 68 points last season. Jordan Spence played over 22 minutes tonight and scored a nice goal. In my opinion, now is the time to re-sign him. Linus Ullmark had a strong performance tonight, saving 27 shots. To his credit, he has started each of the last five Senators games. Next up for the Sens is a Thursday night game against the Panthers.

The Montreal Canadiens hosted the high-flying Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night, aiming to secure two very important points in the race to qualify for the playoffs.

It was far from a perfect game, as shown by the fact that rookie netminder Jacob Dobbs had to make over 40 saves, but in the end, Montreal was able to pull out a crucial 5–2 victory.

Let’s look at the highlights!

Nap first, hockey later

The Canadiens had a very bad start.

Or, to be more accurate, they failed to perform as the Hurricanes immediately jumped out to a 2-0 lead.

However, we’ve become accustomed to hubs requiring a certain amount of adversity before waking up, which is exactly what happened on Tuesday night.

Rookie Oliver Kapanen got the Habs on the board midway through the first period by scoring his 21st goal of the season.

you know who

Mister Saturday Night is somewhat of a misnomer. Yes, it’s true that Cole Caufield loves to score on Saturday nights, but he also enjoys scoring on days ending with ‘y’.

Caufield scored his 44th goal of the year early in the second period to tie the game, with the usual suspects, Juraj Slafkowski and Nick Suzuki getting their names on the scoresheet via assists in the game.

It appeared that Caufield had scored his 45th goal of the season moments later, but it turned out that the puck had deflected off Slafkowski before going in.

Nonetheless, the goal, which was Slafkowski’s 28th of the season, gave the Canadiens a delicate 3–2 lead heading into the second intermission. For the record, the Canadiens were outshot 26-15 in 40 minutes of play.

rookie effect

With pressure mounting late in the third period, rookie Ivan Demidov capitalized on his breakaway opportunity with aplomb, putting the game out of reach.

As you can see in the video below, Demidov was clearly thinking about scoring a goal before the actual breakaway, and once he made his way into the offensive zone, it was already too late for the storm.

IND vs ENG Live Score, T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final: India Post Mammoth 253/7 as Samson and Dube Blow England Away

The stage was set, the roar of the crowd was deafening, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In a high-octane T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final clash, the IND vs ENG live score has left fans breathless. India has posted a mountainous total of 253/7 in their 20 overs, courtesy of a masterclass in power hitting by Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube.

A Scintillating Start at the T20 World Cup Semi-Final

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, the Indian openers provided a brisk start, but it was the middle-order fireworks that truly took the game away from Jos Buttler’s men. Despite losing early wickets, the Men in Blue never took their foot off the pedal, maintaining a scoring rate that hovered near 12 runs per over throughout the innings.

The Sanju Samson Show

For years, Indian cricket fans have waited for Sanju Samson to deliver on the biggest stage, and he chose the T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final to do exactly that. Coming in at number three, Samson looked in sublime touch from the first ball. His 84 off just 38 deliveries included seven towering sixes that cleared the ropes with ease.

Samson’s ability to find gaps and manipulate the field left the English spinners, Adil Rashid and Rehan Ahmed, searching for answers. His partnership with the middle order laid the foundation for what would become India’s highest-ever score in a T20 World Cup knockout match.

Shivam Dube: The Power-Hitting Clinch

While Samson provided the finesse, Shivam Dube provided the brute force. Playing the role of the finisher to perfection, Dube smashed his way to a quickfire 56 off 22 balls. The highlight of the innings was Dube hitting Jofra Archer for three consecutive sixes in the 18th over, demoralizing the English pace attack.

The IND vs ENG live score updates kept ticking over as Dube and the lower-order cameos ensured India reached the 250-run mark, a total that seemed improbable even on a batter-friendly pitch.

England’s Bowling Struggles

It was a forgettable day for the English bowlers. While Mark Wood managed to pick up two wickets, he was expensive, conceding over 50 runs in his quota. The English fielding also faltered under pressure, with two crucial catches dropped when Samson was in his 40s. Chasing 254 in a semi-final pressure cooker will require a historic effort from the defending champions.

Conclusion

India’s total of 253/7 is not just a score; it is a statement of intent. With Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube firing on all cylinders, India has put one foot in the final. However, in the world of T20 cricket, especially against a powerhouse like England, no lead is ever truly safe. Indian fans are now looking toward Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh to defend this massive total and secure a spot in the T20 World Cup 2026 Final.

Man City vs Brentford 2-0 Highlights: De Bruyne & Haaland Shine as City Reach Carabao Cup Semi-Finals

Manchester City continued their relentless pursuit of domestic silverware with a commanding 2-0 victory over Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. In a match that kept Indian football fans up late into the night, the star duo of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland once again proved why they are the most lethal partnership in world football.

Clinical Performance at the Etihad

From the opening whistle, Pep Guardiola’s men dominated possession, pinning Brentford back into their own half. While Thomas Frank’s side remained disciplined and defensively compact for the first half-hour, the deadlock was eventually broken by a moment of pure Belgian magic.

In the 34th minute, Kevin De Bruyne picked up a loose ball near the edge of the box and unleashed a precise low drive that whistled past the Brentford goalkeeper. The Man City vs Brentford highlights will undoubtedly feature this strike as a testament to De Bruyne’s enduring class and vision.

Haaland Seals the Semi-Final Spot

Brentford attempted to fight back in the second half, utilizing the pace of Bryan Mbeumo on the counter-attack. However, City’s defense, led by Ruben Dias, remained impenetrable. The insurance goal finally arrived in the 72nd minute.

A trademark cross-field ball from Phil Foden found De Bruyne, who squared it perfectly for Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker made no mistake from close range, tapping in his customary goal to make it 2-0. For Indian fans following the football match today, it was another reminder of Haaland’s incredible positioning and finishing ability.

Brentford’s Spirited Effort

Despite the loss, Brentford can hold their heads high. They managed to frustrate the Premier League champions for significant periods and forced Stefan Ortega into two crucial saves late in the game. However, the gulf in quality in the final third was the deciding factor, as City’s tactical fluidity proved too much for the Bees to handle over 90 minutes.

Conclusion

With this 2-0 victory, Manchester City have officially booked their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals. The combination of De Bruyne’s playmaking and Haaland’s clinical finishing remains the heartbeat of this team. As the tournament progresses, City looks like the firm favorites to lift the trophy once again. For fans in India, the excitement continues as the quest for the quadruple remains mathematically possible for the Sky Blues.

Check out the best of the action from our Carabao Cup victory over Brentford.

Goals from Rayan Cherki and Savinho secured a place in the last-four of the League Cup with a hard-fought 2-0 win at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola made seven changes from the side that won at Crystal Palace on Sunday with five players that came through our Academy in the starting line-up.

And we extended our winning streak in all competitions to six games to reach the semi-finals and a two-legged tie with Newcastle.

Cherki opened the scoring with a blockbuster strike from the edge of the box before Savinho’s hit deflected into the net to settle the game.
