Capitals re-sign F Anthony Beauvillier to 2-year deal
The Capitals acquired Beauvillier from the rival Pittsburgh Penguins for a second-round draft pick back on March 7. The Capitals were Beauvillier's sixth NHL team in three seasons; after spending the bulk of his career with the New York Islanders, he had short stints with the Vancouver Canucks, Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators and Penguins.
Beauvillier played in 18 games for Washington and tallied two goals and three assists. He kept it going in the playoffs, recording two goals and four assists in 10 postseason games.
Beauvillier, 28, has amassed 271 points (131 goals, 140 assists) and 682 hits across 631 career games. He spent more than six seasons with the Islanders, who picked him in the first round (28th overall) of the 2015 draft.

Late own goal sends Chelsea past Palmeiras into semi-finals
PHILADELPHIA, July 4 (Reuters) - An 83rd-minute Weverton own goal from a deflected Malo Gusto cross gave Chelsea a nervy 2-1 win over a spirited Palmeiras side in the Club World Cup quarter-finals at Lincoln Financial Field on Friday. Cole Palmer also got on the scoresheet in the first half for Chelsea, who move on to face more Brazilian opposition in Fluminense in New York on Tuesday with a place in the final on the line. Palmeiras roared back after halftime with teenage winger Estevao, who is soon to join Chelsea, equalising in the 53rd minute with a stunning strike from a tight angle. "Tough game as we expected," said Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. "First half, I think we were a little bit better compared to the second half, we controlled the game much better. "But then they scored and the game changed but at the end we scored and I think we deserved to win. Congratulations to the players, because they have been very good." Chelsea started the match well despite missing key defensive midfield duo Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, with 21-year-old Andrey Santos making his first start some two and a half years after joining the club. They controlled possession and repeatedly threatened through Pedro Neto, who caused chaos for Palmeiras defence down the right flank. Palmer struck in the 16th minute, receiving a pass from Trevoh Chalobah on the edge of the box and gliding past three defenders with ease before dispatching a precise left-footed strike into the bottom corner. Despite their dominance, Chelsea squandered several opportunities, including Christopher Nkunku's glaring miss in the 34th minute when he blasted over with only goalkeeper Weverton to beat. Palmeiras, missing key defenders Joaquin Piquerez, Gustavo Gomez and Murilo, struggled to contain Chelsea's fluid attack in the first half but emerged from the break with renewed energy. They nearly equalised when Bruno Fuchs headed narrowly wide from a corner before Estevao worked his magic with an effort that should be a strong candidate for goal of the tournament so far. The 18-year-old showcased his immense talent by cutting in from the right, gliding past Levi Colwill and smashing an unstoppable shot from a tight angle that flew over keeper Robert Sanchez and off the underside of the crossbar. "Happy because we won, happy because he scored, so it's a perfect night," Maresca said of his new signing. Just when Palmeiras looked at their most dangerous, though, Chelsea found the winner down the other end. Gusto found space down the left and his attempted cross deflected off defender Fuchs and wrongfooted Weverton, the ball bouncing off the goalkeeper's back and into the net to end Palmeiras dreams of an all-Brazilian semi-final.

Chelsea reach Club World Cup semi-finals as late own goal downs Palmeiras
Chelsea scored a fortuitous late own goal to snatch a 2-1 victory over Palmeiras and reach the Club World Cup semi-finals. Extra time was looming at Lincoln Financial Field when Malo Gusto's cross took deflections off Agustin Giay and goalkeeper Weverton and ended up in the back of the Brazilians' net in the 83rd minute. The London side had led early on through Cole Palmer but were pegged back by a superb strike from Estevao Willian, the 18-year-old winger who will join them after the tournament. Palmeiras had been threatening to finish the stronger but Gusto's late stroke of luck ensured it was Chelsea who went through to face Fluminense in the last four. The contest was played in vibrant atmosphere with the crowd, perhaps helped by the dynamically-priced tickets having dropped as low as £8 earlier in the day, an impressive 65,782. That was despite the counter-attraction of a free Independence Day concert and firework display in downtown Philadelphia – albeit one for which headline act LL Cool J pulled out. The soundtrack to the evening was provided by the constant drumbeat and singing of Palmeiras' sizeable following. It was a noise Chelsea could not silence but, despite being forced into a late reshuffle after captain Reece James was injured in the warm-up, they settled the quickest. Pedro Neto started despite having considered missing the game following the death of his Portugal team-mate Diogo Jota, the Liverpool forward, and he held up a shirt bearing his name, and that of his brother Andre Silva, during a pre-match moment's silence. Palmer had already forced a good save from Weverton when he opened the scoring following a fine run and finish on 16 minutes. The England international wrong-footed a defender with a quick turn and he then swerved past another challenge before delivering a left-foot shot into the bottom corner. Chelsea could have increased their lead as Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez tested Weverton and Trevoh Chalobah and Christopher Nkunku missed the target. With Cucurella giving Estevao a tough time until this point, Palmeiras struggled to create openings. They finally threatened just before the interval but Robert Sanchez comfortably saved Vanderlan's header and Bruno Fuchs nodded over after the restart. It proved the start of a good spell for the Sao Paulo side and the equaliser came as Estevao took a pass from the right and lashed in a shot from a tight angle. It was a stunning finish and Chelsea immediately responded by sending on Joao Pedro for his debut following his £60million move from Brighton. Chelsea had a scare when Allan drove narrowly wide and Levi Colwill needed to make a last-gasp interception prevent another Palmeiras chance. But they had a good opportunity themselves when Cucurella shot over and then edged in front when Gusto's cross took a ricochet and fooled Weverton. It was a decisive blow and Noni Madueke almost added a third when his late shot was tipped onto the post by Weverton. Liam Delap and Colwill will miss the semi-final after being booked.

Adrian Houser tosses a gem in White Sox win over Rockies
July 5 - Adrian Houser tossed a season-high eight innings, Edgar Quero hit his first major league home run, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 in Denver on Friday night. Houser (4-2) allowed two runs - both unearned - and struck out six. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 15 innings. Mike Tauchman had two hits against his former team, Miguel Vargas also contributed two hits and Grant Taylor got the final three outs for his third save for Chicago. The White Sox snapped a three-game skid. Chicago's Colson Montgomery made his major league debut at shortstop, and had an eventful first game. In his first big-league at-bat he reached on a catcher's interference, the first player in the Expansion Era (since 1961) to do so in his first plate appearance, according to and Elias Sports Bureau. He then made an over-the-shoulder, sprawled out catch of Ryan Ritter's broken-bat blooper to left field to rob Colorado of a run. Mickey Moniak had two hits for the Rockies, who have won only one opener of a home series this season. Antonio Senzatela (3-12) allowed three runs on seven hits in 5-2/3 innings. Quero's solo homer in the sixth put Chicago ahead 3-2 and Houser and Taylor maintained the lead. Houser allowed just a walk over his final three innings, and he erased that runner with a double play. Taylor gave up a two-out single to Moniak in the ninth but struck out Ryan McMahon to end the game. The White Sox grabbed the lead in the fourth inning. Andrew Benintendi and Vargas led off with singles and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Brooks Baldwin. Quero walked and following a lineout, Michael A. Taylor singled to right field to bring in two runs. Colorado got even in the fifth. Michael Toglia doubled with one out and Ritter reached on a two-base error by third baseman Josh Rojas, which allowed Toglia to score. Tyler Freeman tied it with a two-out double to left. -- Field Level Media
