The Tampa Bay Lightning announced in March that captain Victor Hedman would be taking a temporary leave of absence, which wound up extending to the end of their season. Hedman revealed why on Tuesday.

Hedman said he made the tough decision to “focus on my mental health,” but he’s in a “much better place today.” He missed the Lightning’s final 15 games of the regular season and the entirety of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Lightning released the statement on Tuesday, two days after they lost 2-1 in Game 7 of their first-round series to the Montreal Canadiens. He had rejoined the team for practice during the playoffs, but did not see any ice time in the series loss.

From the statement:

“Wearing this jersey — and serving as captain — is the greatest responsibility of my professional life.

That responsibility doesn’t only apply on the ice. Over the past couple of months, I made the decision to step away and focus on my mental health. It was not an easy decision, but it was the right one.

I’ve always believed that being a leader means doing what’s best for the team. In this case, it also meant doing what was necessary to take care of myself, so I can be the best player, teammate, husband and father I expect to be.”

The Lightning captain has spent his entire career in Tampa Bay. The franchise drafted him second overall in the 2009 NHL Draft, leading to the defenseman playing in 74 games as a rookie. Hedman has been with the Lightning for 17 years, serving as Captain for the last two seasons after Steven Stamkos left in free agency for the Nashville Predators. He helped Tampa Bay win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2020 and 2021.

The 35-year-old defender is under contract with Tampa Bay through the 2028-2029 season, per Spotrac. Hedman ended his statement by saying, “I’m proud of this team, and I look forward to what’s ahead,” suggesting he will be back and ready for the 2026-2027 season.

Glenn Irwin says he considered withdrawing from this year's North West 200 because of the initial technical problems he was having with his new V4 Ducati at last weekend's opening round of the British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park.

Irwin was 12th in Sunday's race and failed to finish race two before improving to secure a fifth place in race three after becoming more satisfied with his machine.

The Carrickfergus rider is returning to the North West after a one-year sabbatical and will aim to improve on his record 11 Superbike wins at the event, which came in successive races between 2017 and 2024.

Asked by BBC Sport NI's Stephen Watson if he considered pulling out of the NW200, Irwin replied: "Yes, that would be correct".

"Without going too much into it I had a really good conversation with the team and with Mervyn [Whyte, NW200 Event Director] on Sunday evening explaining what was going on.

"Teething is probably the correct word. Some things arrived on the bike that didn't work from the beginning," explained Irwin.

"We were still eradicating those up to race three at Oulton Park.

"Some of those, like missing gears and things like that, it's hard enough going round a short circuit running out of road, never mind here.

"But it's all rectified, there's no point touching too much on it other than it wasn't looking so good. We ended up almost as strong as anyone at Oulton in race three."

The 36-year-old says he is now feeling confident for the week ahead on the north coast of Northern Ireland.

"We're certainly there or thereabouts and my level is high to be able to be back challenging at the front in British Superbikes and coming into this week, which for me is very important," added the Nitrous Competitions Ducati rider.

The UFC is back on the East Coast for UFC 328, its fifth numbered event of the calendar year, and two titles are on the line in New Jersey.

The popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes. UFC 328 (Paramount+) takes place Saturday at Prudential Center in Newark.

The headliner is a middleweight title fight between champion Khamzat Chimaev (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and ex-champ Sean Strickland (30-7 MMA, 17-7 UFC). There have been threats of violence between the two that fall outside the realm of cagefighting, which has added intrigue to the week.

In the co-feature, Joshua Van (16-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) puts his flyweight title on the line for the first time, and he's an underdog against challenger Tatsuro Taira (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC).

The second episode of "Embedded" follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC's description of the episode from YouTube:

"Khamzat Chimaev hits the garage for one more workout before heading off to fight week; Waldo Cortes Acosta corners his team at a packed RUF; Tatsuro Taira prepares his striking for his championship bout; King Green shows of his new business; Joshua Van spends his last Sunday in Houston at church surrounded by family; Waldo grills out for his team; Sean Strickland finishes camp at the UFC PI."

CHICAGO — A game that should have been the highlights of the young careers of starting pitcher Chase Petty and Blake Dunn turned into a game that’s the lowlight of Emilio Pagán’s season so far.

After Petty and Dunn, two recent call-ups, provided a spark and helped the Reds establish a lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning. But then, Emilio Pagán allowed a walk-off homer to pinch-hitter Michael Conforto as the Cubs beat the Reds, 5-4, on Monday, May 4, at Wrigley Field.

“Nothing has changed as far as our mindset as a team,” Pagán said. “We know we’re really good. We played a lot of close ballgames. Quite honestly, I haven’t held up my end of the bargain. As painful as today is, I feel like I’m getting really close to being who I can be. I made two mistakes today, and they both got hit.”

First, Pagán left a splitter right down the middle to Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong in a two-strike count. Crow-Armstrong hit a towering fly ball to center field. Fighting the ivy, Myers couldn’t complete the catch.

“He’s fighting the wall and the basket,” Reds manager Terry Francona said “He took a jab step. You could see where he just kind of lost it off the side of his glove.”

Pagán’s next mistake was the fastball right down the middle to Conforto that won the Cubs the game.

“He just made a mistake,” Francona said. “Sometimes, it’s more than just what you’re doing on the mound. If the first play gets made, we’re probably shaking hands. I’m not blaming Dane. I’m just saying that’s a part of the game.”

Despite the loss, Petty’s performance gave the Reds something to be excited about.

He has faced a lot of adversity in a very young career. Last year, he debuted as the youngest starting pitcher in MLB and posted a 19.50 ERA in three appearances. He had a lot of work to do, and Monday was a sign that he’s trending in the right direction.

Petty, one of the Reds’ top starting pitching prospects, allowed three runs in 5 ⅔ innings.

“I tried to stay poised,” Petty said. “Stay within myself and do what this team needed me to do.”

On a big picture level, it was a big step forward for the 23-year-old. But on a one-game level, the two walks that Petty allowed in the fourth inning were a turning point after they were following by a three-run homer from Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki.

“The fourth inning, I wish I could get that back,” Petty said. “Free bags kill. If that doesn’t happen, we win that ballgame.”

Dunn, in the game as a pinch-runner, showcased his elite speed and scored from second base on a bang-bang play at the plate. That could have turned into a triumphant moment for the Reds against the first-place Cubs, but the result didn’t hold in the ninth.

“I know I have good stuff,” Pagán said. “I will pitch better. I will be better.”
