INDICTMENT IN SKAGGS’ OVERDOSE DEATH

A federal grand jury in Fort Worth, Texas, indicted Eric Prescott Kay on drug charges for allegedly providing Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs with the drugs that caused his overdose death. Kay, formerly the Angels’ director of communications, was charged with drug distribution and drug conspiracy. The charges carry a maximum of a life sentence and 20 years in prison, respectively.

The Maple Leafs signed 41-year-old former Sharks forward Joe Thornton to a one-year, $700,000 contract. Thornton, a six-time All-Star and the 2006 NHL MVP, is the second Ontario-born veteran to sign a league-minimum deal with the Leafs in free agency, joining Jason Spezza.
