  24-04-2024 04:53 via ocregister.com
  
  IRVINE — For the Ducks, it was another season of pain, both literal and figurative, as an injury-marred campaign crashed short of the postseason landing strip yet again.
  But it was also a period of growth, both personal and collective.
  Though they finished just a tick better than last year’s NHL-worst total of 58 points, new leadership and a youth movement on the roster set a course toward snapping a string of six consecutive non-playoff seasons.

• Dodgers’ offense arrives late but backs bullpen in victory over Nationals

  24-04-2024 04:16 via ocregister.com
  
  WASHINGTON — It is not a small price to pay. But the Washington Nationals are probably fine with the bargain.
  They signed Patrick Corbin to a six-year, $140 million contract before the 2019 season and the left-hander played an important role in the Nationals’ World Series championship that year.
  For the last five years of that contract, however, the Nationals have been paying one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball very handsomely. In 101 starts before Tuesday, Corbin had
