The NFLPA is calling for a full investigation into the medical care Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts received after he was diagnosed with blood clots. "The NFLPA is not aware of any NFL investigation into the medical care provided to Jalen Hurts," the union said in a statement Tuesday, according to Jonathan Jones of The Athletic. "In fact, the league previously informed the union that it did not plan to review the care he received. Before conclusions are drawn about how this situation was handled, there must be a full investigation into what occurred. Determining the facts is essential to ensuring players receive the highest level of care and protection going forward. "The union's comments come after the league publicly backed the Eagles' handling of Hurts' medical process, confirming Philadelphia wouldn't face related discipline. The quarterback was cleared to play in London with a superficial blood clot in his calf but later developed pulmonary emboli in his lungs and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

MONTREAL (AP) Macklin Celebrini scored his second goal of the game on a power play at 2:13 of overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night. Celebrini fired a one-timer into the top-left corner after goalie Jakub Dobes was called for interference on Colin Graf. Celebrini added an assist and Tyler Toffoli and Michael Misa also scored to help San Jose (5-4-1) rebound from a 3-1 loss to Toronto on Monday night. Sharks goalie Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 31 shots. Juraj Slafkovsky, Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki had a goal and an assist each as Montreal (4-3-2) surrendered a two-goal advantage for the fourth time this season. Dobes made 26 saves. Misa, who hit the post earlier in the period, cut into the Canadiens’ lead at 5:36 in the third, finishing a feed from Kiefer Sherwood after Montreal defenseman Lane Hutson turned the puck over. Toffoli tied it with 8:51 remaining in regulation when he buried Celebrini’s pass on the power play with Arber Xhekaj in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike conduct.
