Jets star Brandon Marshall wins civil assault suit

Mark Lennihan/AP Brandon Marshall left the courthouse once the case went to the jury and did not return, so he was not in the room when the verdict was read. Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall won the civil suit levied against him by a California woman in Manhattan federal court for assault and battery on Friday. Christin Myles, who accused Marshall of punching her in the face outside the Marquee nightclub on Mar. 11, 2012, sought at least $75,000 in damages for her medical expenses and her pain and suffering. The jury deliberated for just over an hour before

Myers: Ferguson leaving money, saving health in retirement

Maddie Meyer/Getty Images While he spoke candidly about concussions in December, D’Brickashaw Ferguson was never diagnosed with one in his 10-year career. D’Brickashaw Ferguson is 32 years old and played 10 years in the NFL and the only snap he missed in his career came on a trick play. So, he is not part of the epidemic of young players in the last two years who are getting out of the NFL early rather than risk brain injury, even though it’s before they max out on their earnings potential. Ferguson made $67 million with the Jets and never was

Jets trade for Broncos' Ryan Clady to replace D’Brickashaw

Kathy Willens/AP Broncos offensive lineman Ryan Clady blocks for Knowshon Moreno. That was fast. On the same day D’Brickashaw Ferguson made his retirement official, the Jets traded for his replacement, dealing for former Broncos tackle Ryan Clady, according to a source. Gang Green is giving up a 2016 fifth-round pick in exchange for the tackle and will also receive a 2016 seventh-rounder, according to a source. Those are the same terms the Jets struck with the Bears a year ago in a deal for wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Clady, a four-time Pro Bowler, started 16 games in 2014 for

Advocate blasts Greg Hardy’s clueless, harmful stance

Ric Tapia/AP Greg Hardy denies ever assaulting women in an interview he did with ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Domestic violence experts responded with dismay Tuesday to disgraced football star Greg Hardy’s claim in an ESPN interview that violence against women is “nonexistent in most southern homes.” “Domestic violence does not discriminate, it impacts every race, geographic region, educational background,” Katie Ray-Jones, the CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, tells the Daily News. “It knows no boundaries. It’s a reg resilient issue that people don’t talk about.” Hardy, who was suspended four games last season over evidence that he battered

Chris Kreider celebrates his second-period goal as Rangers top Canadiens.

MONTREAL – Saturday’s 5-2 road win over the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre wasn’t just the Rangers’ third straight victory. It was the third consecutive game in which, despite some characteristic shaky stretches, the Blueshirts mostly looked like the better team.

Chris Kreider (two goals, assist), Derick Brassard (goal, two assists), Derek Stepan (goal, assist) and Keith Yandle (two assists) overpowered injury-riddled and reeling Montreal and goaltender Mike Condon, who was pulled after two periods. The Blueshirts’ power play scored twice more (Kreider and Stepan), marking the first time all season the Rangers’ man advantage has scored multiple power-play goals in consecutive games.

Backup Antti Raanta (24 saves) handled his team’s nervous moments in the defensive zone, particularly when the visitors spent practically the entire third period shorthanded. And the second-place Rangers (43-24-8, 94 points) picked up a necessary two points with the third-place Pittsburgh Penguins (90 points) arriving for a potential first-round playoff preview Sunday night at the Garden.

Henrik Lundqvist will face Sidney Crosby and the Pens, who hold a game in hand after throttling the Red Wings, 7-2, Saturday afternoon in Detroit. The King took Saturday off against the Canadiens (34-36-6, 74 points), who tumbled down the Eastern Conference standings after losing reigning NHL MVP goalie Carey Price to injury in late November.

Two other top Habs players, All-Star defenseman P.K. Subban and forward Brendan Gallagher, also did not play Saturday.

The Rangers erupted for four goals in the second period to stretch a 1-1 tie to 5-2 after 40 minutes, starting with Brassard’s finish at 1:32 after a terrific stretch pass by Kevin Klein.

Kreider tallied at 8:19 on the power play off a great no-look pass by Brassard, then Kreider backhanded a second goal in at 10:42 after a takeaway to spring his own breakaway — a major relief since he strangely has had trouble this season finishing breakaways, which through his career have been his bread and butter.

Canadiens center Lars Eller (not pictured) scores a goal against Rangers goalie Antti Raanta and center Tomas Plekanec.

The Rangers at that point had four goals on just 15 shots. Brassard became the first Rangers center to register at least 27 goals in a season since Petr Nedved (27) in 2002-03.

Phillip Danault scored off the rush to draw within 4-2 at 15:38 as Dan Boyle let the play pass him and didn’t get back to the front of his net. But Stepan scored on the power play at 19:19 off a Zuccarello primary assist to stretch the lead back out.

Raanta shook off a Lars Eller shot to the helmet and an ensuing collision with Torrey Mitchell at 10:27 of the second period and remained in the game despite pointing to his neck as trainer Jim Ramsay examined him.

J.T. Miller had opened the scoring with a highlight-reel toe drag to undress Andrei Markov and backhand his career-high 21st of the season along the ice for a 1-0 lead at 3:04. Stepan took a big hit from Andrei Emelin while receiving Yandle’s outlet pass and quickly feeding the streaking Miller, who embarrassed the same Markov that has crunched him into the post in Game 4 of the 2014 Eastern Conference finals.

A Klein turnover then allowed Eller to even the score at one apiece at 12:26, however, and send the game to the second period tied. Tomas Plekanec stripped Klein, Kreider failed to clear the puck, and captain Ryan McDonagh — who had a bit of shaky night — got a blocked shot caught in his skates. Eller ripped it top shelf.
