NFL announces 2017 Pro Bowl rosters: Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was selected to his 11th career Pro Bowl — most among active players — and Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald made the NFC roster for an eighth time. [NFL.com]
Early exit for Rask vs. Islanders: Tuukka Rask has been phenomenal this season for the Bruins, but he just didn’t have it against the Islanders. It makes you acutely aware of just how dependent the B’s are on their No. 1 goalie being superhuman every night because they couldn’t beat one of the worst teams in the NHL when he wasn’t on his game.

What the stats say about Clay Buchholz’s Red Sox career: Only 10 pitchers in team history struck out more batters than did Buchholz. You’ve probably heard of all of them: Clemens, Wakefield, Pedro Martinez, Jon Lester, Cy Young, Josh Beckett, Luis Tiant, Bruce Hurst, “Smoky” Joe Wood and Bill Monobouquette. [Boston.com]
