Former Penguins Forward Anthony Beauvillier Re-Signs With Capitals
They signed him to a one-year deal last July with the hopes that he would bounce back after a rough 2023-24 season, and he did exactly that, scoring 13 goals and finishing with 20 points in 63 games. He spent the rest of the season with the Washington Capitals after they acquired him at the trade deadline from the Penguins for a second-round pick.

Beauvillier had two goals and five points in 18 regular-season games with the Capitals before finishing the playoffs with two goals and six points in 10 games.
The Capitals loved what they saw and signed him to a two-year, $5.5 million contract. The deal will carry an average annual value of $2.75 million.
That's an excellent price for Beauvillier, who figures to slot into a middle-six role and can also play in the top six should injuries arise. The Capitals are coming off a second-round playoff exit at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes.

Blue Jackets sign restricted free agent Dmitri Voronkov to 2-year contract
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Dmitri Voronkov, who has scored 18-plus goals in each of his first two NHL seasons and is regarded as one of the league's emerging power forwards, signed a two-year, $8.35 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. The deal pulls Voronkov off the restricted free-agent market, eliminating the risk of an offer sheet. Voronkov, who had arbitration rights, needed to decide before 5 p.m. ET Saturday if he wanted to request arbitration, but his new contract eliminates that decision. Advertisement His contract has a salary cap hit of $4.175 million. He earned $925,000 with his previous contract. 'We are very pleased to reach this agreement with Dmitri as he is an important part of our young core,' Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said. 'He has size, strength and excellent hands, and he has a chance to be a very special player. We look forward to his continued growth and development as a Blue Jacket.' Voronkov, 24, set career highs last season with 23 goals, 24 assists and 47 points in 73 games. He also had 55 penalty minutes and a plus-17 rating. In coach Dean Evason's first season behind the Blue Jackets' bench, Voronkov, a 6-feet-5, 227-pound left winger, found a home on the top line with center Sean Monahan and right winger Kirill Marchenko, becoming one of the top lines in the NHL. Columbus' only remaining restricted free agent is Mikael Pyyhtiä. In other Blue Jackets news Saturday, the Colorado Avalanche announced that they hired Columbus minor-league assistant coach Mark Letestu as head coach of the AHL's Colorado Eagles, the Avs' top minor-league affiliate. Letestu had been an assistant coach for the AHL's Cleveland Monsters for the past four seasons.

Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 64: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 64 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 64 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 64 wearer: OG Max Scharping Scharping was drafted by the Houston Texans with the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. In 2022, he was waived after playing in 48 games, 33 of which were starts. He was quickly claimed off waivers by the Bengals, where he played in 31 games for Cincinnati over the course of two seasons. Scharping signed with the Eagles as a free agent in 2024 but failed to make roster cuts. He would join the Commanders' practice squad, but the Steelers signed him off it in October of 2024. Scharping appeared in just two games last season but was re-signed by Pittsburgh last April on a one-year deal. The journeyman guard's experience is a great addition to the Steelers' offensive line and figures to be the top backup guard behind Isaac Seumalo and Mason McCormick. Last five Steelers to wear No. 64: Best No. 64 in Steelers history: C Jeff Hartings While an honorable mention for No. 64 is DT Steve Furness, the best Steeler to ever wear the number is center Jeff Hartings. He signed with Pittsburgh as a free agent in 2001 and made the transition from guard to center — a move that proved crucial for the Steelers' offensive success in the early 2000s. From 2001 to 2006, Hartings was named First-Team All-Pro, Second-Team All-Pro, and earned two Pro Bowl selections. He was a key part of the Steelers' Super Bowl XL-winning team and anchored the offensive line during that championship run. Hartings retired in 2006 but left a legacy deserving as greatest Steeler to ever wear No. 64 in Pittsburgh.
