The Carolina Hurricanes have swapped goalies by acquiring James Reimer in a trade with the Florida Panthers.

Florida acquired goalie Scott Darling and immediately placed him on waivers with the intention to buy out the remaining two years of his contract. The Panthers also acquired a sixth-round pick in the 2020 draft in the trade made Sunday, a day before the start of the NHL's free-agent signing period.

Reimer helps address the Hurricanes' immediate need at goalie with co-starters Petr Mrazek and Curtis McElhinney eligible to become unrestricted free agents.

Reimer, 31, had a 13-12-5 record and a .900 save percentage in 36 games with the Panthers last season. Overall, Reimer has a 144-120-19 record in 338 games, including stops in Toronto and San Jose.

For Florida, the trade amounted to the team freeing up space under the salary cap in dealing Reimer and buying out Darling's contract.

The Panthers do have a need at goalie with Roberto Luongo retiring after 19 seasons on Wednesday. Florida, however, is considered the front-runner to sign Columbus starter Sergei Bobrovsky in free agency.

Darling, 30, had a 2-4-2 record in his second season with Carolina last year. He was unhappy over being demoted to the American Hockey League and had been granted a leave of absence in February. He has five years' experience and a 54-42-18 record in 126 games with Carolina and Chicago.

LYON, France -- England Women manager Phil Neville hailed U.S. star Megan Rapinoe as "world class" and said he knew of her competitiveness to his own cost after she inadvertently destroyed his watch during a game last year.

Rapinoe has been one of the stars of the Women's World Cup, scoring all four goals in the U.S.'s two knockout matches to help them into the semifinals.

She and her teammates now face England in Lyon on Tuesday, and Neville said he knew how hard it would be to curb her influence.

"I remember in my first SheBelieves [Cup match against the U.S. last year] when there was a ball bouncing on the touchline and I went to catch it and her studs came right through my Apple watch," he said. "She's not paid me back for that.

"What I liked about that was that she didn't say sorry, she just got on with it.

"She's a winner. I like the individuality in her, both on and off the field, and I think she's a world class footballer."

Neville praised the work Rapinoe has done to promote equality off the field, but focused on Tuesday's game as he challenged his players to keep the threat of her and Crystal Dunn down the left at bay.

The manager has hinted that England right-back Lucy Bronze could be played as a makeshift midfielder -- a ploy he used against the U.S. in the SheBelieves Cup.

"It might be Rachel Daly up against Rapinoe," Neville said. "You never know, as Daly did really well in SheBelieves against her, and the ability of Lucy Bronze to step into midfield is why we did that. We have a decision to make there, as Rachel's in fantastic form.

"If you think about the left-hand side of the USA and the right-hand side of England, I don't think you'll get many better left and right sides in women's football.

"The U.S. are the reigning champions and the ones everyone wants to beat."

Neville backed Bronze to win this year's Ballon d'Or, saying: "I do believe she's the best player in the world because she's unique in everything she does.

"Her athleticism, ability to defend one vs. one -- she's fearless in everything she does. She always rises to the big occasion.

"We've seen a player that's developed a lot in the last 18 months and, even though she plays full-back and sometimes in midfield, the qualities she possesses make her one of the most outstanding players in the world.

"Even though she plays at full-back, that needs recognising. When we do ballots and polls, sometimes defenders are special as well and we have a few."

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- When it comes to team-building, U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter is not above thinking out of the box. Or, in a recent case, out of the pan.

With some free time ahead of the Americans' Gold Cup group-stage match against Trinidad and Tobago in Minneapolis, former U.S. international Tony Sanneh was sought out for some ideas on potential activities in the Twin Cities. Through his Sanneh Foundation, the former defender has long worked in areas of leadership and community engagement around the world.

In this instance, he partnered with the culinary school at St. Paul College and local chef David Fhima to set up their own version of the TV show "Iron Chef." The U.S. players were divided into four teams and, with the help of other local culinary experts, were charged with preparing a meal.

"Some guys had no clue about cooking," said midfielder Cristian Roldan. "Other guys were chefs in their own ways. I was in the middle, but Omar Gonzalez, he was pretty detail-oriented when it comes to cooking."

Great hosting @usmnt with @thesannehfoundation @david_fhima and @saintpaulcollegemn chef Ross chef pierre chef hadj Fun to see the smile and energy. The winner goes to team @omar4gonzalez and @jozyaltidore

A post shared by Tony Sanneh (@tonysanneh) on Jun 15, 2019 at 9:16pm PDT

The team of Gonzalez, Jozy Altidore, Nick Lima, Daniel Lovitz and Tyler Boyd prevailed, though defender Tim Ream was not impressed, insisting the scales were tipped against his side.

"When it's Wagyu steak against a piece of salmon, we all know who's going to win that battle," he said with a wry smile on his face.

But as with most team-building endeavors, there was a broader message to be driven home, with Gonzalez acknowledging the bigger takeaways of preparation and collaboration.

"This was one of the coolest things I've ever done with the national team; the fact that we all had to work together," he said following Wednesday's 1-0 win over Panama. "Gregg and his staff talk about preparation a lot, and he finds ways to bring that into play. We talked to the chef, and he explained what his daily life is like and how preparation is key to what he does."

Berhalter's detail-oriented approach means he leaves nothing to chance. When first pondering doing the cooking activity, for example, he spoke with Fhima for 30 minutes to make sure the respective messages were aligned. The same was true earlier this year when the team was in Houston and visited NASA.

"It's building understanding with your teammates," Berhalter told ESPN FC. "It's not only fun activities. We've done strenuous activities as a group outside of the field where you have to really bond with each other, really fight for each other, you have to dig for each other. Then there's others where you have to communicate with each other and work collaboratively. If we talk about our game being a collective game model where we need everyone working together, activities like this bring us closer together.

"We think it's very important for us to build the team culture and build togetherness," the U.S. coach continued. "We know that because we don't have a lot time together, we have to take advantage of the time we do have. It's programming things like that and giving the guys the ability to be together outside of the field. We know that as we build this cohesion, we're going to be stronger on the field."

By the time of the Gold Cup final on July 7 -- assuming the U.S. makes it that far -- some members of the team will have been in camp for six weeks. As such, there seems to be a concerted effort by players to interact, beyond any generational or positional divide. Crossword puzzles are still a thing, and video games have even begun to creep their way into some older elements of the squad.

"It's just been natural. It's not been anything that we've tried to do," said Ream about the way the team has come together. "Everyone is easy, everyone is easygoing. It's a good mix of personalities, and it's just kind of happened organically. Guys are into their video games, the older guys are not, so we're kind of interested in how all that works. Omar and myself have watched it a little bit. But it's just sitting at tables and at meals and just hanging out."

That cohesion appears to be manifesting itself on the field, where all three group games were won, with 11 goals scored and zero conceded. While it is easy to dismiss matches against Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and Panama as a series of glorified scrimmages, in terms of the eye test, the U.S. looks like it is coming to grips with the system Berhalter has been implementing since his first camp in January.

The next test is a tricky, if unlikely, quarterfinal encounter in Philadelphia on Sunday. Curacao's national team was formed only in 2011, after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, and is ranked 79th by FIFA, but its roster is full of players with experience in the Dutch first and second tiers. Some, such as Cardiff City's Leandro Bacuna and Everton defender Cuco Martina, have played at even higher levels.

"[Curacao] are a dangerous team," said Berhalter in his prematch news conference. "They make a lot of flexible movements offensively. They get into high positions with their fullbacks. The wingers are tucking inside overloading the field. They have good players."

The U.S. can have no excuses and enter the match as heavy favorites. Berhalter's side is in good form, as well as being healthy and rested after the entire starting XI was rested for against Panama, but its first official competition since failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, is not in a position where it can look past any team.

With three games standing between them and Gold Cup glory, it is time for the U.S. players to find a trophy-winning recipe.

Lancashire 275 for 5 (Vilas 67*, Jones 52) v Durham

It is tempting when watching cricket on grounds like Sedbergh to toy with the notion that life might always be like this: that one's days might be spent in the stern, benevolent shadow of the Howgill Fells while batsmen like Dane Vilas face bowlers such as Chris Rushworth under typically Cumbrian, cloud-tossed skies. School years are not always the best of one's life but Lancashire and Durham supporters may eventually reflect on their days watching this match and judge them among the richest of their summer.

That it might be so is partly explained by the discipline of Cameron Bancroft's bowlers, who enjoyed success when they pitched the ball up rather than digging it in on a wicket offering bounce and carry. It might also find account in the bells of St Andrew's which summoned us joyously to our cricket in the morning; or in the sun which raced across Baugh Fell in the evening. It also has something to do with the generosity of the school and its staff, who cannot do too much to make this great event memorable.

Yet this day's cricket was only given proper shape after tea once Liam Livingstone was leg before to Nathan Rimmington for 35 and Vilas began his fifth-wicket partnership with Rob Jones. Lancashire were 141 for 4 when Livingstone played across the line; Jones was at that point unbeaten on 27. The 23-year-old had displayed patience beyond his years yet the arrival of his captain seemed to imbue his batting with fresh urgency. It is often so with inspirational captains like Vilas, who himself showed more intent than his team's top order had managed, albeit when the ball was newer.

Rather than waiting to receive deliveries, Vilas looked to meet them, thus eliminating some movement. There were the usual powerful drives and clips through midwicket and they somewhat disconcerted a Durham attack who had hitherto set the day's agenda. A Lancashire innings which had burned slowly and been filled with honest labour - only 65 runs came in 32 overs during the afternoon - suddenly acquired fresh life as Vilas demanded that Jones be ready to run quick singles.

The partnership had yielded 87 runs when Jones was pinned on the back foot for 52 by Rushworth, who had earlier bowled Keaton Jennings for 11 with one that kept low. But Rushworth was the only Durham bowler to take more than one wicket on this first day. He had Steven Croft dropped by Alex Lees before he had scored and the reprieved batsman was unbeaten on 29 when play ended in a gentle evensong of defensive strokes and watchfulness. It has been Lancashire's day and it has also been Sedbergh's

The only problem in the whole day was certainly not of Sedbergh's making; nor indeed, it is fair to argue, was it of Lancashire's, whose enterprise in taking a game to an area in the north-west from which it recruits many players should be commended. No, the stramash occurred when a charabanc hired to give home supporters free transport to the game arrived at the ground with well over an hour to spare but missed its turning and found nowhere to park. The driver, instead of letting his passengers get off, gave them a tour of Cumbrian byways for around 50 minutes, at one stage even returning south down the M6. One wonders what Francis Thompson, that great poet of Lancastrian cricket, might have made of it.

"It is little I repair to the matches of the Northern folk

'Cos my own red coach will never slow.

It is little I repair to the matches of the Northern folk

And we've passed this pub six times before, I know."

Fortunately, when the Old Trafford Forty-Nine were allowed to escape their incarceration, they could at least enjoy some resilient Lancastrian batting in a couple of sessions during which both sides engaged in the reconnaissance so characteristic of cricketers on fresh fields.

Having progressed, not with hazard, to 71 for 1 at lunch, Lancashire lost Alex Davies for 38 in the over after the resumption when he could only glove a fine lifting ball from Brydon Carse to wicketkeeper Ned Eckersley. And Lancastrian problems deepened when Haseeb Hameed, after making 24 with his customary diligence, was drawn forward by a fine ball from Ben Raine and edged a catch to Bancroft at second slip.

Livingstone settled into one of his more patient innings, yet more evidence of his determination to develop his red-ball game. Jones joined him and the pair plainly steeled themselves to rebuild the innings from 81 for 3 on a pitch which is a credit to the school's groundsman, Martin South. The crowd at Sedbergh, some of whom had queued for 45 minutes before the gates opened, gave themselves to their cricket. For all the racket of modernity there remains a sense of timelessness at a venue which saw its first cricket deep in Victorian England and whose famous Knowles pavilion has celebrated its 106th birthday.

Winder and Crook, the two fells closest to the ground, remained clear. Both had been shrouded in cloud on Saturday evening. Eventually even Baugh Fell eventually doffed its cap of mist in honour of the occasion. And we are to have three days more of this stuff.

Hampshire 15 for 1 trail Somerset 408 (Hildreth 105, Abell 82, Banton 79, Bartlett 68, Abbott 6-84) by 393 runs

James Hildreth led the way with a century as Somerset gained maximum batting points on the opening day of the Specsavers County Championship match with Hampshire at Taunton.

But, from a dominant 353 for 3, the Division One leaders slipped to 408 all out. Kyle Abbott claimed 6 for 84, four of his wickets coming with the second new ball.

Hildreth's exquisite 105 was his first Championship hundred of the season. He shared a second-wicket stand of 178 with skipper Tom Abell, who made 82, and their good work was backed up by youngsters Tom Banton and George Bartlett, who both hit half-centuries.

But Hampshire's seamers stuck to their task and Abbott produced an inspired spell of 4 for 22 from the Somerset Pavilion End late in the day as seven wickets fell for just 55 runs in bright sunshine.

By the close, Hampshire had replied with 15 for 1 from seven overs, losing Ollie Soames, caught behind off Jamie Overton for a duck.

Somerset won the toss and elected to bat first on a used pitch. Clearly expecting it to turn as the game progressed, the home side selected a second spinner in Dom Bess in place of seamer Jack Brooks.

Hampshire made an early breakthrough with the total on 18, Azhar Ali's poor season continuing when he played all around a straight ball from Abbott and departed lbw for 12.

But Abell showed good judgement on when to leave the ball as he and Hildreth saw off the new ball and laid the foundation for the biggest stand of the day.

Hildreth looked in prime form from the start and went to fifty off 78 balls, with seven fours. By lunch, he and Abell had taken the total of 98 for 1.

Abell was content to play the supporting role as Hildreth continued to prosper after the interval, bringing up his 45th first-class century with a six over deep square off a long-hop from leg-spinner Mason Crane, who struggled for any semblance of control.

Abell went to a watchful half-century from 126 balls, with five fours, just the innings Somerset needed to cure their top-order batting problems.

With the score on 196, Hildreth was struck a blow on the helmet by Fidel Edwards, who worked up good pace from the River End. The next ball was also short and the batsman pulled to short mid-wicket where Keith Barker took a good diving catch.

Abell fell with the total on 237, edging Abbott to first slip and at tea it was 289 for 3. Banton and Bartlett demonstrated their potential with a stand of 116 off 128 balls, both exuding confidence, before Banton, who had survived a stumping chance on 17, fell lbw to James Fuller for 79.

Steve Davies departed cheaply to Fuller and the second new ball was taken at 379 for 5. From then on Hampshire hit back strongly, led by Abbott. He removed Lewis Gregory for 25, and Jamie Overton and Tim Groenewald for ducks with successive balls, and last man Jack Leach for six.

Bartlett became a second victim for Edwards, having contributed an impressive 68 and Somerset had cause to feel disappointed with their late-order collapse.

Hampshire had substitute fielder Aneurin Donald keeping wicket for much of the day after Tom Alsop suffered a hamstring injury during the morning session. Donald was later replaced by specialist keeper Lewis McManus, who had been summoned to the ground.

Sussex 7 for 2 trail Northamptonshire 273 (Zaib 54, Robinson 6-63) by 266 runs

It is little wonder that Sussex seamer Ollie Robinson has been hoping for a call-up for the England Lions this summer. While the sensational Jofra Archer, his Sussex team-mate, has been capturing headlines, Robinson has been slowly building a reputation as one of the most consistent opening bowlers on the county circuit.

When he took his fifth wicket on Sunday, on the opening day of the County Championship Division Two match against Northants, he had reached 200 first-class wickets in only his 50th match. He has now taken 110 Championship wickets since the beginning of last season. Last year he took 74 wickets at 18.66, and this summer he already has 36 at 18.77 as he spearheads his side's bid for promotion.

Robinson was not fully fit for last week's disappointing defeat at home to Durham. But against Northants at Hove he was back to his best, achieving nasty bounce and away movement.

He finished with figures of 6 for 63 as Northants were bowled out for 273 in 87 overs. But the away side were still happy with their score after winning the toss and sliding to 96 for 4 at lunch, and then 205 for 9.

Northants have replaced Durham at the foot of the table and are still looking for their first Championship win of the season. Their hopes of making an impact were encouraged by the number of Sussex absentees. They were already without Archer and the injured Mir Hamza, and before this match all-rounder Chris Jordan pulled out with tonsillitis, along with Stiaan van Zyl, who has tennis elbow.

Sussex were more in need of Robinson than ever before, and he didn't disappoint. He broke through with the last ball of the opening over, when he had Ricardo Vasconcelos lbw for two. It was 29 for 2 when Rob Newton edged Robinson to keeper Ben Brown.

Temba Bavuma got an inside edge to Brown, then Alex Wakely, on 36, was beaten by David Wiese and Laurie Evans took the catch at second slip.

There didn't look much chance of a recovery when Rob Keogh was lbw to Robinson with just one run added to the lunch score. And, in Robinson's next over, Luke Procter edged and Luke Wells took an outstanding catch at third slip, moving his long arms very quickly to his left to take the chance two-handed.

With Northants 99 for 6, captain Adam Rossington and Saif Zaib put on 51 for the seventh wicket and there was a last-wicket stand of 68 between Nathan Buck and Ben Sanderson before Robinson and Abi Sakande finished off the innings.

Northants soon made an impact with the ball. Varun Chopra, signed on loan from Essex to stiffen their top-order batting, made just five and the returning Phil Salt a single.

Glamorgan 354 for 6 (Labuschagne 106, Lloyd 97, Selman 67) v Worcestershire

Marnus Labuschagne's run fest continued at Sophia Gardens on Sunday as he scored his fourth century of the Championship season - in addition to four other half centuries - taking his seasons's tally to 938 and further making his case for a spot in Australia's squad for the Ashes.

With one more Championship game to play before Shaun Marsh returns, unless he is needed for the Test squad, Labuschagne has been a revelation which has helped Glamorgan rise to the top of Division Two after finishing bottom last season, 36 points adrift from ninth place with only 13 batting points.

He was well supported by David Lloyd, who scored 97 and Glamorgan, who are 354 for 6 will have their sights on a score in excess of 400, which will pose a formidable challenge for the visitors on a pitch already responding to spin.

They have already gained 27 batting points this summer with another one likely from this game, and if they can maintain this form for their remaining games, will be very much in contention for promotion at the end of the season.

Although Brett D'Oliveira restricted their progress by taking three quick wickets shortly before the new ball became due, Glamorgan would have been satisfied with their day's work in their first Championship appearance at Sophia Gardens for eleven weeks.

After an uncontested toss, Nick Selman and Owen Morgan, promoted to open the innings with Charlie Hemphrey on paternity leave, gave Glamorgan a steady start with a partnership of 80 for the first wicket before Morgan was out shortly before lunch for a patient 28.

Labuschange was immediately into his stride with a flurry of boundaries, and the second wicket pair had put on a further 75 before Selman, who is also in a rich vein of form this season after failing to score a half century last year, became the second Glamorgan player to be caught at second slip. Selman made 67, his fourth fifty of the summer adding to the 150 he made against Gloucestershire.

Labuschagne went on score 106 in a chanceless innings from 139 balls, which included a six and 13 fours, but his dismissal started Glamorgan's mid-innings collapse where D'Oliveira took three wickets for one run from nine balls.

The leg-spinner held on to a return catch from Labuschagne and bowled Billy Root, who played down the wrong line, before dismissing Dan Douthwaite leg before as the batsman played across a straight ball. Glamorgan captain Lloyd watched the wickets fall from the other end after he and Labuschagne had added a further 138 for the third wicket.

Lloyd, with his highest score of the season, and Tom Cullen then avoided any further alarms with a 51-run partnership, before D'Oliveira took his fourth wicket when Lloyd chipped to short cover in the day's penultimate over.
