What happened last night that you need to know about? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best performances. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Jagr just might catch Howe: The gray beard with the mullet, Jaromir Jagr, 44, has scored his 750th career goal. The milestone came Thursday night against the Washington Capitals, and Jagr is the third player in NHL history to accomplish the feat. The Florida Panthers winger has 1,870 career points in 1,633 games with Florida, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Capitals, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils. He is third in all-time goal scoring, behind Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801). Theres no stopping Jagr. Hes a man on a mission and will play until the skates are practically ripped from his feet. Because he keeps himself in ridiculous shape and has said he wants to play well into his 40s, and even though he has to score 51 more goals, youve got to think he has a shot at catching Mr. Hockey. Really.Calder clash continues: The Calder Trophy race is no joke. Its only a week into the season, but theres already a serious push to be the NHLs best rookie. In a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Thursday at Xcel Energy Center, the Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews scored his fifth goal of the season. It was the 19-year-old forwards first goal since he scored four in his debut against the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 12. Let it be said that this rookie race between Matthews and the Winnipeg Jets Patrik Laine (No. 2 overall) is going to be an epic battle for the entire season. It will be a case of what you can do, I can do better. Laine answered Matthews four goals with his first NHL hat trick in a 5-4 overtime win against Matthews and the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, giving Laine four goals this season. There are so many story lines to focus on this season (including that old guy Jagr), but the head-to-head matchup between Laine and Matthews will be one to watch. And when the dust settles, my moneys on Laine.Avs impressive again: The Colorado Avalanche are for real -- for real. The boys from the Rockies improved to 3-1-0 with a convincing 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Thursday night. For many, the Lightning are the odds-on favorites to win the Stanley Cup. Sure, its only four games into the season, but the Avalanche seem poised to make a serious run at a Stanley Cup playoff berth in the Central Division. It was a huge win for Colorado, and Matt Duchene led the way with a pair of goals. The 25-year-old forward is highly skilled: He has great hands and can flat-out fly. Hes a dangerous player when hes effective, and this season is his chance to become an elite player.Jarred Vanderbilt Nuggets Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Nikola Jokic Nuggets Jersey . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week. http://www.authenticnuggetsproshop.com/Jarred-Vanderbilt-Jersey/ .

In his second contest since a June trade from the Pacers, the veteran point guard helped the Jazz do just that.Hill scored 23 points, Rudy Gobert had 13 points and 13 rebounds and the Jazz beat the Los Angeles Lakers 96-89 in Utahs home opener Friday night. Hill took over late and scored 10 points in the fourth quarter.A lot of guys can talk about it, Im more big on leading by example, Hill said. Holding guys accountable. Doing what I can do first and let guys read that.Thats the thing, the better off were going to be is every one of these guys being able to hold each other accountable and give each other constructive criticism and dont take it the wrong way. Just knowing that we have one common goal and we all want to win.The Jazz used a 16-1 run spanning halftime to take an 11-point lead, but the Lakers closed the third quarter on a 22-11 run -- highlighted by Tarik Blacks put-backs and Lou Williams 3 -- to take a 65-64 lead.The Jazz trailed by four midway in the fourth quarter when Hills 3-pointer sparked an 11-0 run for an 83-76 lead. Utah led the rest of the way.I think hes just a good player, Jazz coach Quin Snyder said of Hill. He takes pride, is the main thing. Hes got a lot of pride in his defense. On the offensive end ... he didnt stop attacking. Thats going to be huge for us, especially with Gordon (Hayward) and Alec (Burks) out. Weve talked about George being aggressive offensively.Jazz forward Derrick Favors returned from a knee injury that kept him out for most of the preseason and the season opener. He finished with 15 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. Teammate Rodney Hood added 15.Williams led the Lakers with 17 points.We came out of halftime flat and that second unit came out and did a phenomenal job, Lakers coach Luke Walton said. We had a fourth quarter lead. Utah is a tough team at home. They are well coached. We missed some good looks, they shot 40 free throws, which is a little ridiculous to me, but that is kind of what happens when you play in Utah.TIP-INSLakers: No. 2 overall pickk Brandon Ingram left the game with a sore right knee in the first half and did not return.dddddddddddd He said it got sore while running and thinks it may be tendinitis. I think it was better to be cautious about it and just come back and try to run on it again. But it just felt like I needed to be done. ... DAngelo Russell shot just 3 for 14 and had nine points.Jazz: Hayward went through a workout, including shooting the ball, before the game. He is out indefinitely and missed most of the preseason with a broken finger on his non-shooting hand. ... Gobert had his second double-double in two games and also had four blocksHELLO, OLD FRIENDSnyder was an assistant with the Lakers from 2011-12 when Walton was on the roster. Snyder said he worked a lot with the second unit, which included Walton.His feel for the game and just the kind of quiet intelligence, Snyder said when asked what he remembered. Sometimes you had to ask him what he thought. ... You can always learn a lot from NBA players when youre coaching if you just pay attention and keep your ears open. Theres things that they acquire over a period of a career. Luke, clearly, that stuff translates to him coaching right now.SWAGGYLakers guard Nick Young has already matched his number of starts from the 2015-16 season. Hes started both games season and had just two last year.He earned it, honestly, Walton said. In training camp it wasnt like we had him penciled in. But he continued to work hard defensively, is what first caught our eye.When that first unit was struggling to kind of score in those preseason games, we were just thinking of different ways to get more firepower and kind of keep that second unit together that was playing really well. We tried Nick and he did a phenomenal job and kept working hard in practice. It felt right.UP NEXTLakers: Travel to face Oklahoma City on Sunday after Russell Westbrook scored 51 points on 44 shots Friday against the Suns.Jazz: Travel to face the Clippers on Sunday. ' ' '
