Protests Against Pro-Russian Romanian Presidential Candidate Spread Beyond BucharestNoneThe Winnipeg Jets, owners of the highest point total (53) and the most wins (26) in the NHL, will host the struggling Nashville Predators on Monday. Winners of three straight, the Jets trailed the visiting Ottawa Senators 2-0 early in the second period on Saturday night before scoring four straight goals en route to a 4-2 victory. Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, Winnipeg's leading goal-producers with 22 apiece, tied the contest in the second period and Gabriel Vilardi and Nikolaj Ehlers scored within a span of 1:32 in the middle of the third period. Vilardi's winner came on the power play 9:47 into the third and was set up by a one-touch pass from Ehlers. "Our power play, when we play it the right way and play it fast, get pucks to the net and get some chaos going, that's when we're at our best," Ehlers said. "When we work it around slow, it's not very good. ... I think with the skill that we have on both our power plays, things will open up once you get that chaos going." Ehlers had two assists to go along with his goal while Scheifele and Connor each added an assist. Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves for the Jets, who have points in seven of their last eight (6-1-1). "We didn't try to chase it, I think that was the biggest thing," said Scheifele, who has 10 goals and eight assists in his last 12 games. "When we got down 2-0, there was still lots of game left. Sometimes you can go and try to chase offense, but we just tried to stick to our game. We knew that if we did the right things over and over, good things would happen. It showed." Connor leads Winnipeg with 49 points, while Scheifele is second with 44. The Predators fell 7-4 to the St. Louis Blues on Friday night in St. Louis. Nashville was 3-0-1 in its previous four games before the loss. "There were some opportunities there to win the hockey game," Nashville coach Andrew Brunette said. "Unfortunately we did some things early in the game that was hard for us to come back and obviously taking a penalty there late, I thought we had good momentum. That one hurt. "I didn't like our mindset early in the game right from the first goal against. We didn't do that the whole (previous) homestand. ... We weren't playing quite as direct as we have been playing." The Blues scored the first two goals of the game and led 4-2 after the opening period. Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault each had a goal and Mark Jankowski and Nick Blankenburg also scored for the Predators. Juuse Saros gave up five goals on 15 shots before being replaced by Justus Annunen in the second period. Annunen made 12 saves. "It was just too sloppy early," Stamkos said. "I know it's coming off (the Christmas break), but those are the games you want to be on the right side of, to build the momentum off of what we did before the break. I thought it was a missed opportunity, but ... too sloppy with just giving them some chances with our own mistakes."

It looks like the latest form of protest, and Lidia Thorpe is its masterA curious moment during the Edmonton Oilers ’ recent game against the New York Rangers has fans buzzing, with Sportsnet analysts questioning what appeared to be a heated exchange between defenseman Mattias Ekholm and forward Kasperi Kapanen . It seemed clear there was an issue, but no one seemed to understand why. The incident occurred after Kapanen registered his first assist as an Oiler, contributing to a Connor McDavid goal alongside Evan Bouchard . Instead of joining in on the celebration, Ekholm seemed to pull Kapanen aside and deliver some stern words. EDM NYR G22. November 23, 2024. Connor McDavid goal. 5-1 EDM. ?: Sportsnet pic.twitter.com/UtSXJQHmpq The Sportsnet panel speculated that Ekholm might have been critiquing Kapanen for a risky play leading up to the goal. Specifically, they suggested the veteran defenseman might have seen Kapanen’s pass as a high-danger move that could have backfired. While Ekholm’s body language suggested frustration, others pointed out that the moment could easily have been misinterpreted. Was Ekholm upset, or was he offering a mix of constructive criticism and encouragement? What was clear is that Ekholm didn’t look happy. At the same time, Kapanen didn’t react with a shocked look on his face or one that suggested he was returning the sternness of the exchange. What Was The Ekholm and Kapanen Talk About? Fans on social media were split. Some believed Sportsnet was reading too much into a moment that means nothing on an otherwise great play. “It’s just as likely Ekholm was congratulating Kapanen in his own intense way,” one fan noted, adding that Ekholm’s leadership style often blends tough love with genuine support. The timing of Ekholm’s actions raised eyebrows, as it seemed odd to critique a player immediately following a successful goal. The pass itself was a beauty, one that McDavid acknowledged when he pointed to both Bouchard and Kapanen after the goal. If there was an issue, it’s logical to assume it was not on that particular offensive play. Ekholm does have a reputation as a trash-talker and a vocal leader. It’s possible he was simply ensuring that Kapanen understood that a great play doesn’t negate a questionable one from a different play or earlier in the series. If he was treating it as a coachable moment, that’s not a bad thing. Regardless of the context, the incident underscores the passion and high standards Ekholm brings to the team. We may never know what that interaction with Kapanen was really about, but the idea that these two might have a beef now feels like a stretch. Knoblauch told the media on Monday that he has been happy with Kapanen and this was a player the Oilers had an interest in before they claimed him on waivers.

($SRRK) surged over 30% to three-year highs after Biohaven’s spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) trial failed to meet its primary endpoint. Biohaven’s RESILIENT SMA study found that its treatment, taldefgrobep alfa, showed clinically meaningful motor function improvements at all time points on the Motor Function Measurement-32 (MFM-32) scale. However, the primary endpoint — statistical separation from placebo at 48 weeks — was not achieved. Last month, Scholar Rock achieved the primary endpoint in the company's own Phase 3 trial of apitegromab in SMA patients. JPMorgan deemed the trial setup “high in risk” and noted that many investors had not attributed significant value to the program, minimizing downside to Biohaven’s stock. The brokerage called the setback a “net positive” for Scholar Rock, as it removes near-term competition from another myostatin inhibitor. RBC Capital lowered its price target for Biohaven to $58 from $66 but maintained an ‘Outperform’ rating, citing favorable trends Biohaven plans to discuss with the FDA. Meanwhile, Jefferies pointed out that Scholar Rock now appears as a “cleaner story” with a clearer path to SMA market dominance and reiterated its $50 price target on SRRK. Truist raised its price target for Scholar Rock to $45 from $36, emphasizing its strengthened position in SMA and increasing its peak sales forecast for apitegromab to $1.5 billion. Wedbush also raised its target to $47 from $40, highlighting apitegromab as the likely first-to-market agent in its class with potential approval as early as Q4 2025. However, H.C. Wainwright maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on Biohaven, citing a positive signal for taldefgrobep alfa in reducing body fat mass, hinting at potential use in obesity treatment. The firm sees this as a possible pivot for Biohaven despite the SMA trial setback. On Stocktwits, sentiment for Scholar Rock turned ‘extremely bullish,’ while Biohaven saw a shift to ‘bearish’ amid heightened message activity. Biohaven was among the top 20 trending symbols by early afternoon. Scholar Rock has also generated interest for its ongoing Phase 2 trial targeting muscle preservation in patients experiencing rapid weight loss from GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, a burgeoning market. Spinal muscular atrophy, a rare neuromuscular disease affecting 30,000–35,000 people in the U.S. and Europe, presents a significant market opportunity. Year-to-date, Scholar Rock’s stock has risen over 120%, while Biohaven shares have gained 11%. For updates and corrections email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.<
