Senators 2, Red Wings 1 – Ullmark stops 48 shots, Cozens scores winner as Senators edge Red Wings 2-1
Linus Ullmark demonstrated why the Ottawa Senators traded for him last year as the gifted netminder turned away 48 shots on Monday night in a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings. Ullmark, making his eighth consecutive start, was at his best in the second period when he stopped all 27 shots he faced, tying a franchise record. Dylan Cozens scored his first as a Senator, and former Red Wing David Perron also scored. Dylan Larkin beat Ullmark short side in the third period. Cam Talbot made 21 saves for the Red Wings, who have lost six straight. Petr Mrazek, acquired from Chicago on Friday, dressed for his first game back with the Red Wings. Craig Smith made his Detroit debut.

Artturi Lehkonen and Martin Necas scored in the third period, Nathan MacKinnon topped 1,000 points for his career, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-0 on Monday night for their sixth straight win. Joel Kiviranta added an empty-netter in the final minute, and Scott Wedgewood stopped 20 shots for his eighth career shutout and second this season. The Avalanche finished a perfect 6-0-0 homestand. Spencer Knight finished with 18 saves as Chicago lost for the eighth time in 11 games (3-5-3). MacKinnon reached the milestone 31 seconds into the third on Lehkonen’s goal, and then got another assist nearly 3 minutes later when Necas made it 2-0. Blackhawks defenseman and No. 2 overall pick Artyom Levshunov made his NHL debut.

MLB – New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole to have season-ending Tommy John surgery
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will have season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Tuesday. The Yankees said the 34-year-old right-hander was examined Monday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles.

New York also is missing another starting pitcher, AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil, who will be sidelined for at least three months because of a strained lat muscle.
NFL – Lions and veteran CB D.J. Reed agree on $48M, 3-year deal with $32M guaranteed
The Detroit Lions and veteran cornerback D.J. Reed have agreed on a $48 million, three-year contract with $32 million guaranteed on Monday, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because teams can’t sign free agents until Wednesday. Detroit general manager Brad Holmes made the move shortly after not retaining cornerback Carlton Davis, who agreed to a $60 million, three-year deal with New England. Later in the day, Holmes released 32-year-old defensive end Za’Darius Smith.

Among the headliners Monday were Milton Williams and Josh Sweat, who both parlayed their Super Bowl heroics into bigger bucks elsewhere.
