WASHINGTON (AP) Ryan Leonard scored a highlight-reel goal and the Washington Capitals beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2 on Saturday afternoon. Ilya Protas, Dylan Strome and Boone Jenner also scored and Vincent Desharnais had two assists for the Capitals, who have won back-to-back games. Arsenal Gritsyuk and Timo Meier scored for the Devils, who dropped to 4-4-0 to open the season. The Devils got on the board first roughly halfway through the first period, when Gritsyuk beat Logan Thompson through traffic at the end of New Jersey’s second power play of the period. With 3:18 to go in the first, though, Leonard would even the score and change the momentum with his spectacular goal. In the final seconds of Washington’s power play, Leonard took the puck up ice himself, going coast to coast before beating Luke Hughes, cutting to the inside and deking out Jake Allen for his third goal of the season. From there, the Capitals took over the game, starting with back-to-back goals in a span of 4 minutes, 46 seconds to open the second period. First, Protas buried a cross-zone feed from Alex Ovechkin to give Washington the 2-1 lead.

Daniel Dubois destroys Fabio Wardley via 2nd-round knockout in highly anticipated rematch - MMA Fighting
Daniel Dubois made sure there was little room for drama in his second fight with Fabio Wardley. It took Dubois less than two rounds to score a definitive knockout victory over Wardley on Saturday in London, five months after their epic first encounter that ended with Dubois winning a war of attrition in which Dubois had to battle back from adversity after being knocked down twice. It took Dubois until the 11th round to turn things around and win their first fight, but this time Dubois beat Wardley to the punch and he never recovered. The rematch was officially stopped at the 2:21 mark of Round 2 after Wardley’s corner threw in the towel. With the win, Dubois successfully defended the WBO heavyweight title he won from Wardley, and improved his pro record to 24-3 with 23 victories by KO/TKO. In his post-fight interview, Dubois praised Wardley, calling him “a great warrior,” before adding, “it is my time and my era.”There’s no question this was Dubois’ night as he pounced on Wardley early, landing a jab and then following with a heavy right hand that took Wardley’s legs out from under him.
