Celtics tie three-pointer record in season-opening win over Knicks
Hours after hanging the franchise’s 18th banner, the Boston Celtics made as big a statement as you can on Tuesday’s opening night, dominating the New York Knicks from deep by tying the NBA record for most three-pointers in a single game with 29 in their 132-109 win.
The Toronto Maple Leafs may have to turn in another direction for depth in their forward ranks.
Max Pacioretty suffered a lower-body injury Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets and was ruled out in the third period, the team announced.
The 35-year-old scored his second of the season on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning in his return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for two games.
Pacioretty suffered Achilles injuries in each of the past two years, forcing him to miss large chunks of the seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals, respectively.
The Leafs invited Pacioretty to camp on a professional tryout before he signed a one-year deal with the squad.
