Blues trade Oshie to Capitals

The St. Louis Blues dealt right wing T.J. Oshie to the Washington Capitals on Thursday for forward Troy Brouwer, goaltender Pheonix Copley and a third-round pick in 2016.

Brouwer, 29, is a rugged 6-3, 215-pound winger who has 132 goals and 255 points in 531 games with Chicago and Washington. He tied a career high in points with the Capitals last season with 43, including 22 assists. He had three assists in 14 playoff games last year and has 19 points in 78 career postseason appearances.

COLLEGES

Arkansas’ men’s basketball team has signed 6-10 Kennesaw State transfer Willy Kouassi. Kouassi will have one year of eligibility with the Razorbacks and can play immediately.

HOCKEY

Nashville Predators forward Gabriel Bourque has accepted his qualifying offer and has signed a one-year contract worth $866,250. The 24-year-old Bourque has 30 goals and 44 assists in 220 career NHL games, all with Nashville. Bourque had three goals and 10 assists in 69 games last season. The Predators also announced the signings of forward Max Reinhart and free-agent defenseman Conor Allen to one-year, two-way contracts worth $575,000 when they’re in the NHL and $80,000 when they’re in the American Hockey League.

HORSE RACING

American Pharoah is headed to the Jersey Shore. As expected, racing’s first Triple Crown winner in 37 years will make his next start in the $1 million Haskell Invitational on Aug. 2 at Monmouth Park in Oceanshore, New Jersey. Owner Ahmed Zayat said the decision to run in the 1¡-mile Haskell was based on several factors, the most important being the health of his horse — the first to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes since Affirmed in 1978. “We want to do right by him, so he comes first,” Zayat said. “He’s told us he’s happy. He’s gained weight back. He’s been paraded, literally, from coast to coast, and Bob (Baffert, trainer) said we need to go back to work, and that’s what we’re doing.”
