Penguins stopped in Detroit

DETROIT — Goaltenders Jimmy Howard and Tom McCollum combined for 18 saves to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins Monday.

Howard started the game for Detroit, and he made 11 saves in the first two periods before being replaced by McCollum, who stopped all seven shots he faced in the third.

Michael Rasmussen, Anthony Mantha, Tomas Tatar and Xavier Ouellet scored for the Red Wings.

Tristan Jarry made 23 saves for the reigning Stanley Cup champion Penguins, whose lone goal was scored by Scott Wilson.

Cavs expect IT back by January

INDEPENDENCE — With every passing day, Cavaliers guard Isaiah Thomas feels more like himself.

“I’m getting stronger,” he said.

The All-Star point guard, acquired from the Celtics this summer, has made progress with his hip injury, and the Cavaliers expect him to be playing games by January.

After doing little for months because of a torn right labrum that knocked him out of the playoffs for Boston in last season’s Eastern Conference finals against Cleveland, Thomas has increased his physical activity to the point that he’s running and shooting.

“Physically I’m in a good place. I’m making progress every day,” he said. “These last three weeks, I’ve been able to be with this training staff six days a week and focused on getting my strength back in that muscle.”

There were concerns that Thomas, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade for Kyrie Irving, would be out much longer.
