College Hockey

Stiven Sardarian was named Forward of the Week after he tallied a league-best six points in the Huskies’ weekend series at Bemidji State. Logan Morrell had a five-point series, and was named the CCHA Rookie of the Week.
NHL
The Red Wings entertain the Flyers tomorrow. Coverage will begin at 6:45 on 99.3 The Lift. Yesterday, coach Derek LaLonde said that injured goaltender Alex Lyon may be available for the game, but Cam Talbot will probably not.
NBA
The Pistons shaded the Heat 125-124 in an overtime thriller last night. Miami’s Tyler Herro hit a long three-pointer with five seconds remaining in regulation to force extra time. Cade Cunningham’s jumper with 37 seconds left in overtime was the game-winner.
The Pistons will host the Jazz Thursday.
NFL
The Vikings cruised past the Bears 30-12, and pulled even with the Lions at the top of the NFC North.
The Falcons got past the Raiders 15-9.
If you played The Wolf Pro Football Challenge, you must have selected at least 14 games correctly to be eligible to become this week’s winner.
Add another player to the Lions’ injured list. Running back David Montgomery suffered a knee injury in Sunday’s loss to the Bills, and could miss the rest of the season.
Struggling to fill the roster holes left by a rash of injuries, the Lions have brought back linebacker Anthony Pittman, who played four seasons in Detroit, mostly on special teams. He was signed off the Falcons practice squad. Five of Detroit’s top six linebackers are sidelined.
MLB
The Tigers added some catching depth yesterday by signing journeyman Brian Serven to a minor-league contract.
