Two-goal lead not safe in Pens-Jackets series

With the series tied 2-2, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets have proved one thing is for certain in the NHL: The two-goal lead is the hardest lead in hockey to defend.

Game 5 of the series is scheduled for Saturday night in Pittsburgh.

Wild's Cooke draws seven-game suspension

Minnesota Wild forward Matt Cooke was suspended for seven games by the NHL on Wednesday for kneeing Colorado Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie during Game 3 of a first-round Stanley Cup playoff series.

The suspension was announced by the Department of Player Safety after a meeting with Cook and new league disciplinarian Stephane Quintal in New York. It would extend into the 2014-15 regular season if the Wild are eliminated from the postseason before Cooke serves the three games.

The 35-year-old Cooke received a minor penalty for the knee-on-knee hit on a play at 2:02 of the second period of Tuesday night's game. Barrie is expected to be out for four to six weeks as a result of the collision.

The suspension was Cooke's fifth during his career but the first in three years. The last time was during the 2011 playoffs when he was suspended for 10 games after elbowing New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh in the head.

KEY STAT: Hannover have kept one clean sheet in their last 17 matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Stuttgart have improved considerably since Huub Stevens took over and they can continue to kick clear of relegation trouble with a positive result at Hannover. Stuttgart have played seven games under Stevens and lost just twice with one of those coming against Borussia Dortmund when they were reduced to ten men.

RECOMMENDATION: Stuttgart

EXPERT VERDICT: Milan are on a five-match winning streak but they are still 31 points inferior to Roma and the hosts look the best in this one. There can be no doubt the Rossoneri have recovered well in recent weeks although the last four victories have come against sides in the bottom seven and this is so much tougher against second-placed Roma.

EXPERT VERDICT: Partick have the worst home record in the Scottish top flight and this could prove to a tough game for a team who have won just twice at Firhill this season.

Nationals' Gonzalez leaves game with shoulder tightness

Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez was pulled in the sixth inning of Wednesday night's 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels due to what is being described as tightness in his left shoulder.

Nationals' manager Matt Williams described the move as precautionary and Gonzalez in expected to make his next start.

Dice-K may be option for closer

Daisuke Matsuzaka isn’t necessarily next in line for a shot at closing games if Kyle Farnsworth bombs, but the Mets may consider the veteran right-hander for the role if there is a need. Manager Terry Collins on Wednesday cited Matsuzaka’s improved control from when the Mets first signed him last season as a reason Matsuzaka could handle the job.

Yankees' Pineda ejected because of foreign substance

Michael Pineda got away with it the first time.

He should have quit while he was ahead.

The New York Yankees right-hander, who used a substance believed to be pine tar on his right hand when he faced the Boston Red Sox in New York on April 10, was ejected in the second inning of Wednesday night's start against the same team with pine tar on his neck.

"Yes, it was pine tar," Pineda said after that game, adding, "It won't happen again."
