Chicago Blackhawks acquire forward André Burakovsky from the Seattle Kraken for Joe Veleno

The Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday acquired veteran forward André Burakovsky from the Seattle Kraken for Joe Veleno. On its surface, the move appears to benefit both parties. The Kraken unload Burakovsky's contract ($5.5 million salary-cap hit) without a burdensome buyout. The Hawks upgrade their offense from the 25-year-old Veleno ($2.275 million), a center who was acquired in a March trade that sent goalie Petr Mrázek and forward Craig Smith to the Detroit Red Wings — a deal completed mainly as a favor to Mrázek. Veleno put up three goals and four assists in 18 games for the Hawks last season. Burakovsky is a two-time Stanley Cup winner, helping the Washington Capitals win the Cup in 2018 and the Colorado Avalanche in 2022. But the 30-year-old winger is no slam-dunk addition. While he twice was a 20-goal scorer with the Avs — he had 22 goals, 39 assists and 61 points in 2021-22, all career highs — injuries and offensive struggles plagued him during his three seasons in Seattle. Last season Burakovsky produced 10 goals and 27 assists in 79 games. The 6-foot-3, 203-pound, left-handed shot is a native of Klagenfurt, Austria, and was the 23rd pick in the 2013 draft by the Capitals. The 11-year-veteran has appeared in 696 career regular-season NHL games, producing 153 goals and 234 assists.

Pocono starting lineup: Denny Hamlin becomes oldest Cup pole winner since 2017

LONG POND, Pa. — Denny Hamlin won his 44th career Cup pole Saturday, while William Byron and Bubba Wallace had issues in qualifying at Pocono Raceway and will start at the rear of the field. Hamlin won the pole with a lap of 172.599 mph around the 2.5-mile track. The 44-year-old driver becomes the oldest to win a Cup pole since Matt Kenseth won the pole at age 45 at Richmond in September 2017. Hamlin is back at the track this weekend after missing last week's race in Mexico to remain home for the birth of his son. MORE: Cup starting lineup Chris Buescher will start second after a lap of 172.325 mph. It matches his best starting spot of the season. Carson Hocevar (171.825 mph) qualified third, John Hunter Nemechek (171.789) will start fourth and Cole Custer (171.6389) completed the top five. Byron, who had the fastest lap in practice, crashed in qualifying. He got loose off the Tunnel Turn, hit the outside wall and came down the track and nosed into the inside SAFER barrier. #NASCAR … William Byron on his crash in qualifying at Pocono Bubba Wallace, who was second-quick in practice, also will start in the back. His car did not start when it was time to qualify and did not make an attempt. Hamlin, co-owner of Wallace's car, said the No. 23 had a starter issue. Byron and Wallace will be joined at the back of the field by Josh Berry, whose team had to replace the diffuser after practice and did not make an attempt to qualify. Brennan Poole also will start at the rear after his car failed inspection three times. He was not allowed to qualify and will have to do a pass-through on pit road after taking the green flag in Sunday's race.

Stenhouse has vowed retaliation on rival Carson Hocevar. Will NASCAR payback be delivered at Pocono?

Associated Press LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Carson Hocevar walked around Pocono Raceway without a scratch on his face. His polo shirt looked more tailored than tattered and the Spire Motorsports driver was ready to race rather than rumble. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. hadn't socked Hocevar with a right hook quite yet — hot on the heels of Stenhouse's threat to beat up his racing rival after last weekend's race in Mexico City — leaving the next shot at any potential retaliation inside or outside the cars set for Sunday's NASCAR race. Hocevar should walk with his head on a swivel because Stenhouse can throw a right hook. Just ask Kyle Busch, who suffered a crushing TKO loss when he clashed with Stenhouse after last year's All-Star race. Get ready! The Pounding at Pocono could be just another round in the ongoing feud between Stenhouse and Hocevar. 'He probably will be looking over his shoulder for a long time,' Stenhouse said Saturday at Pocono. 'We'll see how that goes.' Hocevar has to look over his shoulder — and for that charging Chevrolet in his rearview mirror. 'The scorecard has it that I I'm getting something from the 47 at some point, right? And I think my team and everybody kind of knows that,' Hocevar said. Their beef has little chance of getting squashed any time soon, a dispute that started three races ago when Hocevar wrecked Stenhouse early at Nashville. Hocevar sent Stenhouse spinning last week in Mexico City, which ignited the postrace melee on pit road. Stenhouse seemed to grab at Hocevar as he spoke to him, then slapped at his helmet as Stenhouse walked away. Hocevar's in-car camera captured audio of the confrontation. 'I'm going to beat your (behind),' Stenhouse threatened. 'You're a lap down, you've got nothing to do. Why you run right into me? It's the second time. I'm going to beat your (behind) when we get back to the States.' Hocevar avoided a smackdown from Stenhouse but his Spire team hit him where it hurts — a $50,000 fine on Tuesday for derogatory comments he made about Mexico City on a livestream as NASCAR raced there last weekend. At just 23 and in his second full Cup season, Hocevar has whipped himself into a flurry of unwanted attention, continuing a trend that started last year when even veteran Denny Hamlin chimed in and said NASCAR had ' to do something to Carson.' Stenhouse might do it on behalf of the sanctioning body with his fist or even his No. 47 Chevrolet. Hocevar conceded, yes, payback may be imminent and the time to talk out their lingering issues is over. Yet, Hocevar pleaded: 'It's not an open hunting season on the 77 because of these incidents.' Hocevar stamped his own target on his back. With his aggressive racing. With his ignorant words. 'Just because I do something in the heat of the moment or maybe, you know, you do it two or three times, doesn't mean I'm not hard on myself for those mistakes because they are mistakes,' he said. 'It's just trying not to make that a pattern. But when you're constantly making aggressive moves like we're doing, it's balancing that fine line of, you know, you make a thousand moves a day. Just unfortunately, what people remember isn't always the good ones. You always remember the negative ones.' Case in point, Hocevar walked back his derisive comments about Mexico after he actually experienced the culture of the country following NASCAR's foray into a new Cup Series market. 'I didn't give it a shot. I didn't give it a chance,' Hocevar said. 'I didn't go walk around. I didn't go see it. When I did, you know, then hindsight's 20/20, then I have my own opinion. But I've already put it out there.' Spire also ordered Hocevar to attend cultural-sensitivity and bias-awareness training. He can be thankful he gets a shot at another race. Stenhouse's spotter, Tab Boyd, was fired this week by HYAK Motorsports in the wake of an unflattering social media post about his experience in Mexico. 'That's above my paygrade,' Stenhouse said. The biggest KO so far came in the standings, where Stenhouse has been flattened in just three weeks from 13th in points in the thick of playoff contention before Nashville to 21st entering Pocono. Hocevar is one point ahead of Stenhouse in the standings. 'That's the thing that hurts worse for our team is just where it's put us,' Stenhouse said. Stenhouse's trash talk more worthy of UFC hype could put him in hot water should he actually deliver on his vowed retribution and take out Hocevar. If it comes to a point where NASCAR dishes out a monetary punishment, it's OK, the 2023 Daytona 500 champion could afford his fine. He just sold his North Carolina estate for $12.2 million, the highest-priced residential sale ever recorded in the greater Charlotte metro area. 'It's been a big week. We've had a lot going on,' Stenhouse said, laughing. He'd rather talk real estate than about the space and time wasted thinking about Hocevar. 'I'm just honestly tired of talking about the kid,' Stenhouse said. Tired of the talk? Sure. Of the action? Not just yet. 'Eventually it'll all come together at some point,' Stenhouse said. 'I'm not sure when or how. But it will." ___ AP auto racing: recommended in this topic
