EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers acquired 21-year-old forward Isaac Howard from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday in exchange for forward Sam O'Reilly, who was selected 32nd overall in the 2024 draft.
Howard finished with 52 points (26 goals, 26 assists) in 37 games while helping Michigan State win the Big Ten regular-season and conference tournament titles and earning the Hobey Baker award as the NCAA's top player.
The club also announced that Howard has agreed to a three-year entry-level contract beginning in 2025-26.
Howard was selected by the Lightning with the 31st overall selection in 2022 draft. He spent two seasons with the Spartans, finishing with 88 points (34 goals, 54 assists) over 73 games.
Howard earned a gold medal at the 2025 world hockey championship in May, playing in four games and tallying one assist for the United States.
The 19-year-old O'Reilly skated in 62 regular-season games with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League last season, recording 28 goals and 71 points. The Toronto native finished the OHL playoffs with seven goals and 22 points in 17 games to help the Knights win a second straight OHL championship.

Emma Raducanu beats Naomi Osaka at the DC Open to win their first matchup

WASHINGTON (AP) — Emma Raducanu dominated her first career matchup against Naomi Osaka, winning the showdown at the D.C. Open on Thursday between past U.S. Open champions 6-4, 6-2. Raducanu, the only qualifier to claim a Grand Slam title when she did that in New York in 2021, saved the only two break points she faced and managed to break the big-serving Osaka three times. Osaka was hurt by seven double-faults. She won the U.S. Open and Australian Open twice each. Raducanu, who is ranked 46th, will face Maria Sakkari in the quarterfinals. Sakkari eliminated No. 2 seed Emma Navarro on Wednesday. Venus Williams, the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion back on tour at age 45, was scheduled to face Magdalena Frech at night. Winners in men's action Thursday at the hard-court tournament in Washington included No. 8 seed Daniil Medvedev and No. 14 seed Brandon Nakashima. ___ AP tennis:
