Brewers push Dodgers to brink!
This is The Sports Reset for Thursday October 15th
In the MLB playoffs, the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6 to 2, taking a three-games-to-none lead in the NLCS. Jackson Chourio homered on the first pitch, then Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell hit back-to-back shots in the seventh to erase a one-run deficit. In the NHL, the Washington Capitals edged the Montreal Canadiens 5 to 4 as Alex Tuch scored twice and added an assist, while Justin Holl broke the tie in the third. The Dallas Stars beat the Colorado Avalanche 3 to 2 in a shootout, with Roope Hintz delivering the winner in the fourth round.
Up next, the Brewers can sweep the Dodgers in NLCS Game 4 Thursday and reach their first World Series since 1982. Tyler Glasnow starts for Los Angeles with its season on the line. The Tampa Bay Rays visit the Cleveland Guardians in ALCS Game 3 Thursday with that series tied at one game apiece. In the NHL, the Buffalo Sabres visit the Toronto Maple Leafs, the New York Islanders face the Ottawa Senators, the Vancouver Canucks meet the Florida Panthers, and the Utah Mammoth take on the Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton enters on a five-game winning streak, while Connor McDavid has 17 points through six games. Beyond the scoreboard, the Detroit Red Wings signed Alex DeBrincat to a seven-year 91 million dollar extension after his 41-goal season.
