The Panthers have agreed to terms with Jalen Coker on a three-year, $35 million extension that could be worth up to $41 million with incentives, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Coker is coming off a standout performance in the Panthers’ Wild Card playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, when he hauled in nine catches for 134 yards and a touchdown. After a stellar career at Holy Cross, the DMV native signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He was waived during final roster cuts, re-signed to the practice squad, and eventually earned his opportunity when injuries and roster moves opened the door. He has developed into one of the Panthers' most dependable offensive weapons when healthy. In two NFL seasons, Coker has recorded 65 receptions for 872 yards and five touchdowns while appearing in only 22 games. We spoke with Coker back in March about settling into Charlotte and preparing for his third NFL season: clture.org/jalen-coker/ 📸: Gregory Trott / AP

She's also in notable side projects, including boygenius with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker — releasing an EP in 2018 and a full album, 'The Record' (2023), which won a Grammy for “Not Strong Enough” — as well as Better Oblivion Community Center, a collaboration with Conor Oberst. Bridgers will be joined by indie lo-fi folk-rock singer-songwriter Alex G for all North American dates. Presale registration for all dates is open now until Thursday, June 11 at 10 p.m. at PhoebeBridgers.com, and public ticket sales take place Friday, June 12 at 10 a.m. $1 from every ticket sold on the North American leg of The Lost Tour will be donated to RAINN, and upon arrival at all venues, all phones, smartwatches, and accessories will be secured in Yondr pouches that guests will retain possession of at all times.

The Hurricanes have tied the Stanley Cup Final with a Seth Jarvis goal in overtime, winning 4–3 in another thrilling game in Raleigh. Vegas struck first when Brett Howden opened the scoring in the first period off a Mitch Marner assist, giving the Golden Knights a 1–0 lead after a fast-paced but scoreless opening frame. Vegas extended the lead to 2–0 after another Howden goal midway through the second period, but the Hurricanes came roaring back in the third. Logan Stankoven sparked the comeback with a backhand goal to get Carolina on the board, followed by Mark Jankowski tying the game at 2–2. Jordan Staal then gave the Hurricanes their first lead of the night with a tip-in, completing a three-goal surge. Vegas refused to go away, with just over a minute remaining in regulation, Mark Stone buried a backhand goal off a Mitch Marner setup to tie the game 3–3 and force overtime. In overtime, both teams traded chances, but Carolina sealed the win when Seth Jarvis scored 3:56 into the extra period off a setup from Shayne Gostisbehere and Sebastian Aho, lifting the Hurricanes to a 4–3 victory and tying the Stanley Cup Final at one game apiece. Game 3 will take place in Vegas on Saturday, June 6 at 8 p.m. at T-Mobile Arena. 📸: Karl B. DeBlaker / AP
