columbus, ohio — Ohio State
star defensive end Chase Young
will be held out of one more
game as punishment for break-
ing NCAA rules by accepting a
personal loan.
The penalty was announced by
Ohio State in a statement
Wednesday. The school had
sought immediate reinstatement
from the NCAA.
The situation worked out as
well as it could have for the
second-ranked Buckeyes. Young,
a preseason all-American and
the nation’s leader in sacks, was
held out of the 73-14 rout of
Maryland last week and will miss
Saturday’s game against 50-
point underdog Rutgers.
He will return for showdowns
with No. 9 Penn State and No. 14
Michigan to end the regular
season.
Ohio State announced the day
before its game with Maryland
that Young would be held out
amid concerns he violated NCAA
rules by taking a loan last year
from someone he describes as a
“family friend” for living expens-
es. Young explained his “mis-
take” in a tweet and said the loan

had been paid back.

“This is the example of the

culture of compliance we have at

Ohio State,” Athletic Director

Gene Smith said Wednesday.

“I also want to commend

Chase Young and let him know

how proud we are of him,” Smith

said. “He took responsibility for

his actions, cooperated through-

out the process and understood

and accepted that there would be

consequences.”

Smith said that based on the

circumstances of the loan, the

NCAA “would use its leadership

capacity to take an understand-

ing approach on behalf of all

student-athletes who find them-

selves in a similar position, and it

certainly did just that.”

Smith declined to comment on

who reported the violation but

did say it was not another Big

Ten school. He also declined to

talk about how much Young

borrowed and from whom. The

player wasn’t made available

Wednesday.

Young tweeted in response to

the decision Wednesday: “Excit-

ed to be back on the field next

week! Thank you Buckeye Na-

tion for all the love and support.”

Young has been practicing

with the team all week and will

continue to do so.

“He’s exactly the way he was

before,” defensive tackle Davon

Hamilton said Tuesday. “Obvi-

ously, he’s going through the

situation, and he just continues

to be himself. We’ll support him

no matter what.”

Young last played Oct. 26

against Wisconsin and had a

performance that thrust him

into the Heisman Trophy conver-

sation.

The junior, a likely high first-

round pick in next year’s NFL

draft, had four sacks and two

forced fumbles in a blowout of

the Badgers.

The suspension was the first

hint of off-field trouble or any

significant adversity for the

Buckeyes, who are ranked sec-

ond in the current playoff rank-

ings in Coach Ryan Day’s first

season in charge.

A year ago, Ohio State dealt

with a three-game suspension to

start the season for then-coach

Urban Meyer, who was punished

by the university for his misman-

agement of domestic abuse alle-

gations against a former assis-

tant coach.

hard-hitting asset the organiza-

tion sought. Gudas said this is

the best team he has been on in

his NHL career.

“A hundred percent. Guys are

having fun. We are winning

games. We are sticking with it.

We are going with the game plan

for 60 minutes,” Gudas said.

“There is no one is doubting the

system. Nobody is on their own

page, so it is fun to see from the

very beginning of the season.”

Anthony Beauvillier scored

twice, Derick Brassard had a goal

and two assists, and the streaking

New York Islanders held off the

Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-4, on

Wednesday in Uniondale, N.Y.

Semyon Varlamov made

23 saves, and the Islanders earned

a point for the 13th straight game

— a span including 12 victories

and one overtime loss. Mathew

Barzal also had a goal and an

assist.

Kasperi Kapanen, William Ny-

lander, Justin Holl and John Tava-

res scored for Toronto in its third

straight loss. Frederik Andersen

had 25 saves in the Maple Leafs’

second game since they lost Mitch-

ell Marner for at least four weeks

because of a high-ankle sprain.

Tavares also picked up an assist

in the second period, his

100th point as a Maple Leaf since

leaving the Islanders in July 2018.

Wednesday marked Tavares’s

third trip to Nassau Coliseum as a

member of the visiting team.


SENATORS 4, DEVILS 2:

Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored a hat

track, including the game-win-

ning goal with 2:01 to play, and

Ottawa rallied in the third period

to beat New Jersey in Newark.

Mark Borowiechi tied the score

with 6:30 to go in regulation, and

Pageau got the game-winner

when he put the rebound of a shot

off the post by Nick Paul into an

open net. Pageau finished off his

first regular season hat trick with

26 seconds left with a shot into an

empty net.

He has eight goals in his past

six games.

Craig Anderson made 21 saves

for Ottawa, including a break-

away stop on Taylor Hall midway

through the third period with the

Devils ahead 2-1.

Will Butcher and Wayne Sim-

monds scored for New Jersey,

which returned from a five-game

road trip. Mackenzie Blackwood

stopped 21 shots.

Blackwood made tremendous

saves in close on Chris Tierney,

Brady Tkachuk and Anthony Du-

clair late in the second and in the

first half of the third period to

keep New Jersey ahead 2-1.

The Devils took leads of 1-0 and

2-1 in the first period on goals by

Simmonds and Butcher.


STARS 3, FLAMES 1: Joe

Pavelski scored twice, and Dallas

continued its recent resurgence

with a win in Calgary.

The Stars improved to 8-1-1 in

their past 10 games after starting

the season 1-7-1.

Justin Dowling added his first

career goal in his 34th career

game for Dallas. Ben Bishop made

24 saves and allowed just one goal

for his third consecutive start.

Sean Monahan scored the lone

goals for the Flames, who con-

cluded a four-game homestand

2-1-1.

Luongo gets front-office job

Roberto Luongo retired from

the Florida Panthers. He just nev-

er left.

And now the goaltender is offi-

cially part of the franchise again.

Florida’s all-time leader in

wins and shutouts has agreed to

become a special adviser to Gen-

eral Manager Dale Tallon, a move

that has been in the works for

some time and was formally an-

nounced Wednesday.

The 40-year-old Luongo re-

tired this past summer after

19 seasons in the NHL, 11 of them

with Florida, and indicated then

that he would be interested in

staying with the Panthers in some

capacity. His plan was to take

some time to figure out in what

role and how quickly.

hockey game.”
The Capitals struck early on
Brendan Leipsic’s goal at the 6:13
mark in the first period, during
which they outshot the hosts
16-5. The Flyers, riding a four-
game winning streak, seized con-
trol in the second period but
couldn’t convert a number of
quality scoring chances thanks
to Holtby.
“I thought Braden was out-
standing,” Capitals Coach Todd
Reirden said. “I thought our first
period was one of our best peri-
ods of the year in terms of really
tilting the ice, and it was all of
our lines. Third and fourth line,
fourth line getting a goal and
third line really chances and
opportunities. That was the best
game they had.”
Leipsic’s goal, which came off
a rebound from a shot off the
stick of John Carlson, held until
the third period, when Claude
Giroux knotted the game at 1
with a power-play goal with
13:22 remaining. The Flyers were
on the man advantage after Nic
Dowd was called for tripping.
Dowd left the game because of a
deep cut on his hand. He later
returned to the bench but did not
take another shift.
As the final frantic minutes of
regulation came up empty for
both teams, overtime produced
multiple chances for both teams
but no goals, sending the Capi-
tals to a shootout for the second
straight game.
“It’s finding ways to win and
gather points, and I felt like we
deserved those two points to-
night,” Reirden said.
Leipsic nearly scored his sec-
ond goal later in the first period
but was denied with a skilled
save by goaltender Carter Hart.

Panik, signed to a four-year,

$11 million deal in the summer, is

still looking for his first point.

Reirden said he thought Wednes-

day night was the best he has

seen Panik play and that it

was “encouraging” moving for-

ward.

Another new addition to the

bottom six, Radko Gudas, re-

turned to Philadelphia for the

first time since he was traded in

the offseason for Matt Niskanen.

Gudas was with the Flyers for

four seasons.

Gudas contributed to the Cap-

itals’ solid first frame, with an

early scoring chance just over

five minutes in, but he couldn’t

finish past Hart. Gudas has five

assists and has been the physical,

Leipsic’s early goal was his sec-

ond of the season. With the

assist, Carlson has 30 points in

20 games, including an NHL-

leading 22 assists. He became the

eighth defenseman to reach the

30-point mark in 20 games or

fewer and first since Al MacInnis

(1990-91).

Spearheading the strong first

period was Richard Panik, who

led the Capitals with four shots

on goal in the first and finished

with six overall. It was Panik’s

second game back after he

missed 10 games while on long-

term injured reserve. He re-

turned to the team’s penalty kill,

which was aided heavily by Holt-

by on Wednesday, killing three of

four Flyers power plays.
