Penguins trade Oleksiak
The Dallas Stars reacquired defenseman Jamie Oleksiak from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday in exchange for a fourth-rank draft pick.
The deal came on the same day Stars defenseman Marc Methot underwent season-ending surgery to repair a cartilage defect in his left knee.
Dallas had sent Oleksiak to Pittsburgh in December 2017 for a fourth-round draft pick. General manager Jim Nill says the Stars know him well and that Oleksiak, who played in 36 games for Pittsburgh this season, will provide depth for an injury-depleted defense.
Methot came to Dallas from Ottawa in a trade before the 2017-18 season. Knee issues limited the defenseman to 45 games the past two seasons.

California University women’s basketball player Seairra Barrett was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Division Athlete of the Week for the third time this season.

A two-time All-PSAC West selection, Barrett is averaging 23.7 points and 8.7 rebounds this season.

After double-digit wins over Chatham and Westminster, a pair of Waynesburg University women’s basketball players were honored by the Presidents Athletic Conference.

W&J’s Dovshek, Heinl awarded
Washington & Jefferson wrestler Manny Dovshek was named the PAC Rookie of the Week for the third time this year after going 5-1 in a dual against Waynesburg and at the Jamestown Open.
