The surprise Saturday morning wasn’t so much that Ben Hutton was making his Islanders debut, with the defenseman’s inclusion in the lineup having been telegraphed since he was signed off his PTO on Thursday. Rather, it was that Hutton was skating on the left side of Matt Kessel against the Devils and not Scott Mayfield, who was a healthy scratch. While Mayfield has been fighting what looks more and more like an uphill battle for his spot on the depth chart since training camp, it would be hard to argue he hasn’t outplayed Kessel lately and harder still to argue…

CLEVELAND — The visitors locker room sounded like a Sweet 16. The setlist opened with “Shake It Off,” followed by “You Belong With Me,” “Style” and “Bad Blood.” The Knicks — led by DJ Jalen Brunson — were partying like it was “1989.” Tyler Kolek — who this week questioned Taylor Swift’s Knicks fandom during an NBA 2K League livestream — may never, ever, ever hear the end of it from Swifties, but the second-year guard was hoping to make amends with one of the world’s biggest stars following the Knicks’ 109-97 win over the Cavaliers.

New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a stern warning to the Democratic Socialists of America on Saturday: if you challenge incoming presumptive House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, plan to take her on, too. “For those who live in his district and are so drunk of power to think that they’re going to run against this man, you’ve got to get past this neighborhood and Tish James,” she crowed while speaking at a Brooklyn Democratic leadership event on Saturday during the SOMOS political conference in Puerto Rico. “We are going hard. We are going hard for our speaker,” said James to…

It was a rough day all around for Lane Kiffin and LSU — and one fan got caught on a hot mic really letting the coach have it.  No. 5 Alabama handed the No. 14 Tigers a tough-to-swallow 31-13 loss in Baton Rouge on Saturday. It was the third loss in Kiffin’s much-hyped first season at LSU after he left Ole Miss before last year’s College Football Playoff. The Tigers (6-3, 3-3 SEC) likely will not be invited to that dance given their performance this season. Alabama is now 7-2 (5-2 SEC). The Tigers led 13-10 in the third quarter…

Newly elected Texas Senator James Talarico crashed the cold open of “Saturday Night Live,” just days after turning Texas blue for the first time since 1988. During the show’s highly anticipated post-election episode, the upset-winning Lone Star State  Democrat interrupted the President Trump character — played by James Austin Johnson — who was using the insult, “Talafreako,” discussing Tuesday’s midterm blue wave. “That’s Senator ‘Talafreako,’” the real lawmaker-to-be said as he crashed the sketch and forced himself in front of Trump’s character. “I’m James Talarico, the guy who’s been texting you every day asking for $5,” the newly elected Senator quipped.…
