Colts 20, Texans 14 – Hilton’s 2 scores lead Colts over Texans 20-14
T.Y. Hilton had 175 yards receiving with two touchdowns to help the Indianapolis Colts halt a three-game skid with a 20-14 win on Sunday over a Houston Texans team that struggled without Deshaun Watson. Jacoby Brissett threw for 308 yards filling in for Andrew Luck, who was placed on injured reserve on Thursday and will miss the season after having shoulder surgery in January. Watson’s stellar season also ended that day when the rookie tore the anterior cruciate ligament in one of his knees in practice. Tom Savage, who was benched in the opener for Watson, couldn’t move the offense for most of the game, but threw a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to get Houston within 20-14.

Red Wings 4, Oilers 0 – Petr Mrazek makes 36 saves, Red Wings beat Oilers 4-0
Detroit goalie Petr Mrazek, playing for the first time since Oct. 20, made 36 saves as the Red Wings opened a three-game trip through western Canada with a dominant 4-0 win over struggling Edmonton. The Oilers, who have scored just 30 goals this season, have been held to two goals or fewer in nine of their 13 games. Frans Nielsen celebrated his 700th NHL game with an audacious tip-in goal on a point shot from Nick Jensen to open the scoring 3:23 into the first period. Gustav Nyquist, Martin Frk and Anthony Mantha added the other Detroit goals.
Canadiens 2, Blackhawks 0 – Lindgren leads Canadiens to 2-0 victory over Blackhawks
Montreal goaltender Charlie Lindgren stymied Chicago with 38 saves. Jonathan Drouin and Joe Morrow scored for the Canadiens in a 2-0 win over the Blackhawks. Montreal won its second game in as many nights and improved to 4-1-0 in its past five contests. Lindgren improved to 4-0-0 in his career. Chicago was shut out for the first time this season and saw its two-game winning streak come to an end.

NHL – Duchene, Turris moved as Avs, Preds and Sens make swap
Matt Duchene is an Ottawa Senator and Kyle Turris is a Nashville Predator following a pair of NHL trades on Sunday. The Avalanche sent Duchene to the Canadian capital and received three players and three draft picks. The Senators sent prospect Shane Bowers, goaltender Andrew Hammond and a 2018 first- and 2019 third-round pick to Colorado. Nashville acquired Turris from the Senators and sent top prospects Samuel Girardi and Vladislav Kamenev to the Avs, along with a 2018 second-round pick. Duchene has four goals and six assists in 13 games this season and 178 goals and 250 assists in 585 NHL games, all with Colorado. Turris has scored 117 goals and 274 points in 407 career games, including three goals and six assists this season.
NASCAR – Harvick, Truex advance to final
Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. have wrapped up championship spots in NASCAR’s finale with their 1-2 finish at Texas Motor Speedway. Harvick went around the outside of Truex for the lead with 10 laps remaining to win Sunday’s Cup series race. Truex had led 107 laps and was still up front until his bobble on the backstretch allowed Harvick to take the lead. Harvick and Kyle Busch clinched championship shots with their wins during the third round of the playoffs. That leaves only one spot up for grabs next week at Phoenix.

Golf – PGA – Cantlay gets maiden victory
Patrick Cantlay picked up his first PGA victory by staking the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in a playoff. The 25-year-old former UCLA star hit from behind a tree and got up-and-down for par from off the back of the 18th green to beat Alex Cejka and Whee Kim on the second extra hole. Cantlay bogeyed the final two holes of regulation for a 5-under 67 to get in at 9-under 275 at windy TPC Summerlin.
