The Milwaukee Bucks now have a firm timetable on the succession plan that will have general manager John Hammond passing the torch to assistant GM Justin Zanik.Hammond signed a contract extension on Thursday that carries him through the end of the 2017-18 season, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. After that time, Hammond will serve as a consultant to the team as Zanik is elevated to the GM role.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Bucks have not announced the extension.Zanik was hired away from the Utah Jazz in June to be groomed as Hammonds successor.The 61-year-old Hammond has been the Bucks GM since 2008. He has forged a reputation over the years for having a keen eye for talent in the middle of draft and his role in bringing in Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jabari Parker has helped give the Bucks a promising young roster.With coach Jason Kidd signing a three-year contract extension this summer and Zanik waiting in the wings to assume the main front office duties, the Bucks are set up to have consistent leadership at the top for the immediate future.Owners Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry have emphasized continuity in their early years at the helm in Milwaukee, where the Bucks are building a new arena to help breathe more life into a franchise considered to be on the rise.Yahoo Sports first reported the extension.While completing his work as a top executive, Hammond will serve as a mentor to Zanik, imparting his experience in the role of general manager to help Zanik prepare to take over in the spring of 2018.After going a surprising 41-41 and making the playoffs two years ago, Hammond and the Bucks made a big splash in free agency by landing big man Greg Monroe. But the assumed jump in the standings never came, and the Bucks stumbled to a 33-49 finish last year to miss the postseason.Now its up to Hammond, Zanik and Kidd to reclaim the momentum of two years ago.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings are on a three-game winning streak and the San Jose Sharks are fresh off of being stunned by the team that beat them in the Stanley Cup Final last season.The teams are scheduled to play at 7 p.m. Saturday at Joe Louis Arena. Both are 3-2-0.After losing its first two games of the season, Detroit has reeled off three consecutive wins, the latest a 5-3 decision over the Nashville Predators Friday night at Joe Louis.In that game, two players who have to produce a lot of offense for the Red Wings to be successful scored their first goals of the season.Right winger Gustav Nyquist had a goal and an assist and left winger Tomas Tatar had a goal.Tatars goal, 1:10 into the third period, broke a tie and put Detroit ahead for good and Nyquist scored later in the period to make it 4-2.Im just worried about one game at a time and Im worried about getting better every day and I thought we took a step in getting better today, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said after Friday nights game. I thought we did a real good job of spending time in their end. We did a real good job of winning puck battles. We did a real good job of reloading hard and getting back above people and when we do that, were a real good team.I thought we transitioned well, I thought a lot of guys were playing. I thought we took a step forward. Now we got to take another step forward tomorrrow.ddddddddddddVeteran fourth line left winger Drew Miller scored his second goal in two games Friday.We definitely had some times in the first couple of games here where we didnt play the way we wanted to play, Miller said. Were cleaning that up and trying to play a 60-minute game. I think thats the biggest thing, just moving forward and finding the positives and continuing to build off of those.Defenseman Ryan Sproul made his season debut for Detroit and had an assist on Justin Abdelkaders power-play goal in the second period. In his second NHL game, Sproul was even in 14:57 of ice time.San Jose, which closes out a five-game road trip Saturday, lost 3-2 on the road to the Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday night after leading 2-0 going into the third period.It was the first time under coach Pete DeBoer that the Sharks had lost in regulation time when they held a lead after two periods. They were 28-0-2 in the 2015-16 regular season, and 9-0 in the playoffs, when leading after 40 minutes.The biggest thing is we were playing for a 4-1 record going into that third, captain Joe Pavelski said. Not because it was the Penguins. Its early in the year. Its not easy to start coming on the road with all of these games. Now were staring at 3-2 and we move on.
