Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo hit his third home run of the season on Thursday. Castillo finished 1-for-3 with two runs, an RBI and a walk.

William Nylander Responds Well To Line Juggling

After a very quiet series, Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander posted a productive game in Wednesday’s loss to the Boston Bruins.

Mitchell Marner Extends Point Streak In Loss

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitchell Marner notched the lone assist on Patrick Marleau’s second goal just six minutes into Game 7 on Wednesday night.
