What do you need to know about last nights big stories? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best.McDavid-Matthews rematch delivered: You just knew the?Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid and Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews would rise to the occasion in their second career game against each other. Matthews scored his 10th goal of the season in the Maple Leafs 4-2 victory Tuesday night, giving him four goals and one assist in the past three games. It was obvious he was jacked to face McDavid again because he celebrated his goal like he had just won the Stanley Cup. Matthews is locked in. At the opposite end of the ice, its amazing to see McDavids off-the-charts speed wreak havoc on opponents. He had a goal and an assist Tuesday, extending his own point-scoring streak to six games (six goals and six assists), and has 11 goals and 20 assists for 31 points in 24 games this season. It shouldnt go unnoticed that hes enjoying this type of success with big?Milan Lucic as a linemate. It was a brilliant move by Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli to sign Lucic as a free agent during the offseason to protect the organizations top asset. His presence adds an entirely different aspect -- much-needed space -- to McDavids game.Eichel boosts Buffalo: Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel makes everyone around him better. The 20-year-old forward and No. 2 pick in 2015 missed the first 21 games this season because of a high-ankle sprain. He returned to the lineup, scored a goal and added an assist to help the Sabres to a 5-4 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. His presence brings calm both on and off the ice to the Sabres. His hockey sense, ability and speed adds a dynamic that the team was missing while he was out. Eichel also adds balance to the lineup and allows his teammates to be successful. Case in point: Ryan OReilly scored twice against the Senators because he was in a position to capitalize, created by attention being paid to Eichel. Eichels linemate Sam Reinhart scored his fifth goal of the season, too. It was evident that the Sabres played with more confidence with their budding superstar back in the lineup.Shaw goes off:?Sure,?Montreal Canadiens forward Andrew Shaw has crossed the line in the past. He deserved the suspension he received for what he said in last seasons playoff series between the Blackhawks and Blues. But from a pure hockey standpoint, the passionate and relentless Shaw is the type of player I want on my team. The two-time Stanley Cup winner with Chicago who was traded to Montreal in June is the type of player you hate to play against. In Tuesdays 2-1 loss to the?Anaheim Ducks, Shaw pulled a nutty in the final minute. The Canadiens were down two when Shaw scored his fifth goal of the season at the 18-minute mark of the third period. However, when he was penalized for hooking at 19:32, he lost his mind in the penalty box, screaming expletives at the referee and waving his stick over the glass before snapping it in half. He was given a misconduct and escorted off the ice. This agitating presence adds something that the Canadiens have been missing, and his experience will prove crucial in the playoffs.

Rios hit a grand slam, drove in five runs and had three hits to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 10-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Rios had been in a 2-for-20 slump before going 3-for-5. Rios, who also ended a homerless drought of 120 at-bats, insisted that his big day had nothing to do with being pulled from the game on Friday. "I go about my business the same way every day," he said. "It doesnt matter what happens the night before or whatever. I try to do the same things every day and I try to perform my best. "I felt a little better today. I felt like I was seeing the ball better. When you see the ball better, its because youve done some mechanical adjustments." Rios and White Sox manager Robin Ventura disagreed on whether the benching was necessary, but they were on the same page in believing it didnt have any carry-over effect. "The other day he was 6-for-6 and there was nothing going on there," Ventura said referring to Rios performance at Detroit on July 9. "Hes just a good player and he had a good day. He came up at the right time. "He hit a grand slam and had some big hits to help us win. I dont think it had anything to do with last night." Either way, Rios slam turned around what appeared to be another lacklustre White Sox game into their 10th win in 32 games. Jake Peavy (7-4), making his first start since June 4 because of a fracture rib, got off to a shaky start. He allowed a two-run homer to Dan Uggla in the second inning and two more runs in the third. But he shut down the Braves during his final three innings. He allowed seven hits in six innings, and just two of the four runs charged to him were earned. "I probably came out of the gate a little too fast because I was excited," Peavy said. "I had a little extra adrenaline, but the feel wasnt there. I was able to pull the reins back a little toward the middle and get my feel back a little bit to where I was throwing the ball more consistently to where I wanted it. "The boys picked me up today. The team came back and Alex got a big hit. It was a fun day." Braves starter Paul Maholm (9-9) was forced out in the fourth inning because of a sprained left wrist. He was stakeed to a 4-0 lead but couldnt hold it.dddddddddddd He allowed seven runs and seven hits in three-plus innings. "It flared up on him in the fourth inning," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the injury. "He did it in Miami his last start when he was hitting. In the fourth it flared up on him a little bit and we didnt want to take any more chances. "We got him out of there as soon as we saw something." The soft-tossing left-hander started struggling with his location after retiring six of the first seven batters he faced. But the first five batters in the third inning got on, capped by Rios grand slam that gave the White Sox a 5-4 lead. Rios 12th homer of the season ended a power drought of 120 at-bats. During the White Sox 6-4 loss to the Braves on Friday, Rios hit what appeared to be a routine double-play grounder in the fifth inning. Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons bobbled the ball, and Rios likely would have beaten the throw to first, but he didnt run hard out of the box. Instead of a run scoring, the White Sox were out of the inning. Ventura removed Rios in the seventh. Before Saturdays game, Rios admitted he was wrong for not running hard. He said it was caused mostly by frustration, and added that he wished Ventura had handled it differently. "(The message) would have gone through better if he put me in his office and talked to me personally," he said. "If he wants to make a statement for the team, it probably worked." On Saturday, the Sox followed their five-run third with a four-run fourth to break the game open. Chicagos latest struggles are a reason both Rios and Peavy have been involved in rumours as the July 31 trade deadline approaches. "With trade rumours, I dont like to speak about them because theyre just rumours," Rios said. "Until it happens, Ill just stick to the idea that theyre just rumours. When they happen, we can talk about it." NOTES: Braves RHP Brandon Beachy, recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2012, pitched five innings to get the win in a minor league rehab start on Friday. "He threw the ball really well," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "The report after the game was its the best hes felt in a while." .
