CHICAGO – The reeling Chicago Blackhawks fired coach Jeremy Colliton on Saturday, dismissing the former NHL forward with the team off to a rough start in his fourth season. Colliton, who turns 37 in January, was in the first year of a two-year contract extension. Derek King was promoted from Rockford of the American Hockey League, replacing Colliton on an interim basis. Colliton went 87-92-26 with Chicago. He was dismissed exactly three years after he got the job. Assistant coaches Tomas Mitell and Sheldon Brookbank also were let go. The team said assistants Marc Crawford, Jimmy Waite, Matt Meacham and Dylan Crawford will remain in their current positions, and Chris Kunitz will stay on as a player development advisor. The coaching change is the latest chapter in a rough stretch for what was once regarded as one of the NHL’s marquee franchises. The Blackhawks published a report on Oct. 26 that showed senior leaders with the organization largely ignored allegations that assistant

It’s time to play. Pascal Siakam has been cleared by his surgeon, cleared by the Raptors and is clear in his mind about the task ahead. He will be making his return to an NBA floor for the first time after rehabbing off-season shoulder surgery for a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He confirmed Saturday that he’s good to go on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets at Scotiabank Arena, which will be his first game in Toronto since prior to the pandemic, stretch of more than 600 days, dating back to February of 2020. “I can’t wait. It definitely sucked just being there watching,” said Siakam after practice at OVO Centre on Saturday. “I wanted to be out there throughout the whole process but I’m excited to be back out there and just be with your teammates and do whatever I can to help.” Siakam joins a Raptors team that has exceeded expectations so far this season, posting a 6-4 record through 10 games and establishing themselves as one of the better defensive teams in the league, comm

Gary Neville has conceded that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under “massive, massive pressure” following Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City but insisted the United boss is unlikely to be sacked mid-season. United suffered their fourth defeat in six in the Premier League as they lost to their local rivals at Old Trafford, registering just a single shot on goal in a one-sided derby. “I can’t look at myself and say this is the way I want Manchester United to play,” said Solskjaer afterwards. After a relatively stabilising week – United beat Spurs 3-0 and grabbed a last-minute 2-2 draw with Atalanta – they were back in the doldrums with just four touches in City’s box. “Ole is under massive, massive pressure but the first thing that has to happen is that he needs a team with courage,” said Neville. Image: Manchester United were woeful in the first half of the Manchester derby. “Up to the end of last season, the feeling here [at Old Trafford] was that there was progres

We assess Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s selection dilemmas ahead of Manchester United’s derby clash with Manchester City. In a surprising plot twist, United’s ability to play a back five may depend on the fitness of Victor Lindelof, who missed the Champions League game against Atalanta with a knock, with Raphael Varane out for around a month with a hamstring injury .

WINNIPEG – Eric Comrie , the crease is yours – at least temporarily – and potentially a bit longer. After seeing captain Blake Wheeler and top centre Mark Scheifele land in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol earlier this season, No. 1 goalie Connor Hellebuyck will miss a second consecutive game on Friday because he is under the weather. Hellebuyck tested negative for COVID-19, but he won’t play against the Chicago Blackhawks and his availability for Saturday’s game against the New York Islanders is very much up in the air. It’s been a whirlwind week for Hellebuyck, whose wife Andrea gave birth to the couple’s first child on Tuesday. But after spending part of Wednesday (which was a scheduled day off for the team) trying to convince Jets goalie coach Wade Flaherty that he would be able to start the games on consecutive nights this weekend – he wasn’t feeling well on Thursday, so he stayed home and was tested for COVID-19. The Jets were able to push through the loss of both Wheeler and

Bruno Fernandes says Manchester United’s main focus in the lead up to their derby clash with Manchester City has been to get their defending right, so their creative players can win the crucial clash at Old Trafford on Saturday. It will be the first time United have played at home since they were thrashed 5-0 by rivals Liverpool there two weeks ago. While the Portuguese playmaker insists that result won’t impact this weekend’s match, he revealed a dressing room exchange after losing to Liverpool has forced the focus of the squad onto keeping opposition sides out. They successfully did that with a switch to a back three securing a clean sheet at Tottenham on Saturday, but United then let in two at Atalanta in the Champions League in midweek, and Fernandes says they can’t afford to make similar mistakes against City. “It doesn’t mean anything for us, what was in the past. The result against Liverpool, Tottenham or Atalanta will serve for nothing in this one, because it’s a completel

UFC fans across the globe have been spoiled lately with quality cards in back-to-back weekends. Last week saw a main event upset when Glover Teixeira tapped Jan Blachowicz at UFC 267 on Fight Island and the organization has upped the ante for this weekend’s UFC 268. Madison Square Garden is a fitting setting for the anticipated welterweight championship rematch between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington that headlines a lavish lineup. There was tremendous buzz ahead of their UFC 245 meeting almost two years ago. It was a great style matchup between top 170-pounders and an added layer of personal animosity compounded the tension. During his rise to stardom and an interim title, Covington became among the most polarizing figures in MMA, partly due to his outspoken support for former U.S. President Donald Trump. Covington also took some personal shots at Usman to get under his opponent’s skin, often mentioning the fact Usman’s father had previously served time in prison. Many fans, me

Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford live on Sky Sports this Saturday – but how do the teams’ current styles and form compare ahead of the blockbuster clash? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was walking a thin line after the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool a fortnight ago but once again doused widespread calls for him to be sacked with a 3-0 win over Tottenham – but the pressure remains and the tension cranks even higher going into the derby at Old Trafford this weekend. But the table fails to reflect the ongoing concerns about United’s wild form, with Solskjaer’s side sat merely three points shy of third-placed City in fifth spot. Indeed, there is a growing emphasis on Pep Guardiola to keep league leaders Chelsea within City’s sights after suffering their customary slow start to a campaign. City could find themselves eight points adrift of Thomas Tuchel’s side – compounding the surprise 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend – while Solskjaer is navigating a tricky run of fixture
