Strome’s goal, his sixth of the season, originally wasn’t called, but it was reversed after a review. Strome’s shot was entirely over the goal line before Edmonton goalie Calvin Pickard could stop it with his skate. Mason McTavish added an empty-net goal. It is the first time since March 30, 2019, the Ducks have defeated the Oilers by more than one goal. Cutter Gauthier, McTavish and Robby Fabbri each had a goal and an assist.

Charlie Lindgren made 23 saves but Washington remained one point behind first-place New Jersey in the Eastern Conference. PENGUINS 3, ISLANDERS 2 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby broke Mario Lemieux’s Pittsburgh franchise career record for assists on Michael Bunting’s power-play goal and the Penguins beat New York. Crosby has 1,034 assists, good for 12th in NHL history. Only three players — Ray Bourque, Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman — have more assists with a single team. The 37-year-old Crosby has played 1,310-regular-season games. Lemieux played 915. Evgeni Malkin added the deciding power-play goal in the third for Pittsburgh, which has 14 goals with the man advantage in its last 13 games. Anthony Beauvillier also scored to help the Penguins win for the seventh time in their last eight home games. Alex Nedeljkovic made 29 saves in his first start since Dec. 17. Kris Letang missed the game because of a lower-body injury, and defenseman Nathan Clurman made his NHL debut.

Howden redirected defenseman Alex Pietrangelo’s shot from the top of the slot late in the second period and is now tied with Ivan Barbashev for the team lead in goals. Howden has scored a goal in four of the last five games. Victor Olofsson and Tanner Pearson also scored for the Golden Knights, who have shut out Calgary twice this season, beating them 5-0 on Oct. 28 . Dan Vladar made 34 saves for Calgary. The Golden Knights have now won six straight, the longest active win streak in the NHL, while improving to 25-8-3 on the year. They own a 13-2-1 record against Pacific Division opponents. SENATORS 3, WILD 1 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Josh Norris broke a tie on a power play with 7:18 left, Leevi Merilainen made 30 saves in his fifth NHL game and Ottawa beat Minnesota. Ottawa has won seven of its past nine games, while the Wild have lost five of their past seven. The Senators won in Minnesota for the first time since 2016. With starter Linus Ullmark and backup Anton Forsberg out with injuries, the Senators have been relying on Merilainen and Mads Sogaard since before the NHL holiday break. Frederick Gaudreau opened the scoring for Minnesota late in the first period. Ridly Greig tied it early in the second. Claude Giroux added an empty-netter.

She said: ' I am happy to have a night on the sofa with our dogs watching TV and relaxing, but we do still like getting dressed up and go out for dinner.' Now in her nesting era, Michelle also said her and Mark had become 'boring', adding: 'In the old days we'd go out for dinner and drinks until the early hours. 'But now after dinner, I'll look at my watch and say, "Its 9.30pm, we'd better get back home for bedtime". It's a bit more boring now'.

Asked whether her family still asked her about her plans, she confessed: 'Not any more! People don't mean any harm by it, but they know what the answer's going to be.' During a 2019 interview, Michelle, who was 32 at the time, spoke of her 'frustration' over being constantly asked, saying: 'In this day and age, you shouldn't ask questions like that.'

Storm dumps record rain and heavy snow on Northern California. Many in Seattle still without powerNew England Patriots Head Coach Jerod Mayo leaves the field following Saturday’s 40-7 loss to the Chargers. Michael Dwyer/Associated Press FOXBORO, Mass. — Eleven and a half months after he was introduced as the head coach of the Patriots, the chief reason to believe in Jerod Mayo remains unchanged. It’s nothing you can see, nor hear, nor point to as proof. It’s an idea, an extension of the imagination. Something abstract. Potential. Or, in the words of the pessimist: pure, unfounded faith. Because most of what we’ve seen and heard from Mayo since he was hired paints an increasingly disturbing reality for the NFL’s once premier franchise. The Patriots are a laughing stock. An embarrassment. A doormat the Chargers, of all franchises, just wiped their feet on before waltzing into the playoffs without having to play their starters through to the end. Meanwhile, these Patriots are penalty prone. Selfish. Unaccountable. And now, most damning of all, they’re quitters. “Just to speak for myself, I’ve seen a lot of stuff out there. It feels like a lot of guys start giving up when things get hard,” defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale told me after Saturday’s 40-7 loss. New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is sacked by Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. during the second half of Saturday’s game in Foxborough, Mass. Robert F. Bukaty/Associated Press Shaking his head, Ekuale continued: “I feel like towards the end of the fourth quarter, some of the guys just give up, and some guys play to the end of the whistle. I don’t know, man. It’s been a tough year, ups and downs.” Saturday was all downs, an avalanche leading into next weekend’s season finale and an uncertain future beyond that who-cares affair with the Bills. All of the reporting surrounding Mayo’s future has indicated he will return for 2025, provided he avoids a “collapse” or “calamity” down the stretch. Did Saturday’s loss, by far the Patriots’ worst of the season, qualify as either? I don’t know. What I do know is I have seen enough to pass on potential, and pick up the phone for Mike Vrabel. If Vrabel is, indeed, interested in returning to New England, the Krafts ought to bring him home. Say what you will about Vrabel’s Titans — a hard-nosed, boring bunch often hamstrung by bad quarterbacks — they never quit. They didn’t break fundamentally. Instead, they knocked out the dynasty-era Pats in January 2020, Tom Brady’s last game as a Patriot, and made the AFC championship game that same year. Two seasons after that, they clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and Vrabel was named Coach of the Year. During his Tennessee tenure, Vrabel was widely regarded as a top-10 NFL coach and compiled a winning record. Mike Vrabel was a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots as a player and he now has eight years of coaching experience. Wade Payne/Associated Press Whatever Mayo might become, he’s light-years away from that, and eight seasons behind Vrabel in coaching experience. All of the years Vrabel has spent outside New England since being traded as a player in 2009 have served him in a way Mayo can never know until he leaves himself; building a network, learning other systems, coaching techniques and philosophies. Vrabel is not a Patriot anymore, and that fact, along with his track record of hiring strong offensive coordinators, makes him the perfect candidate for what Mayo was hired to do in the first place: reboot and modernize the franchise. Because under Mayo, the Patriots coaches are stuck on a hamster wheel of failure; unable to complete the four basic tasks of their profession: motivate, organize, teach and develop. This staff is not reaching its best players. “I’ve never been in this position; as disconnected or not on the same page as I am right now,” Pats defensive lineman Keion White told me. “Like, I know I can play good football. I have the ability to. I’m just not right now, and (I’m) trying to figure it out what it is.” This staff has not developed anyone outside of Drake Maye. Fellow rookie Javon Baker still has fewer career catches than Vederian Lowe, the team’s left tackle, and Ja’Lynn Polk’s caught two passes since Halloween. This staff can’t force opponents to “play left-handed.” The pick that should have been Polk, Ladd McConkey, the Chargers’ leading receiver by more than 400 receiving yards, scored two touchdowns Saturday. Two! And the staff is not inspiring players in a way that suggests the Patriots will be able to next season. “Just need to compete better, fight a little more,” Pats receiver Kendrick Bourne admitted. “Just embarrassing.” Never mind Mayo’s ongoing parade of media mistakes, which continued Saturday when Rhamondre Stevenson started the game after he told the national television and local radio broadcasts the butterfingered Stevenson would sit. Or that veteran players continue to reflect Mayo’s don’t-mind-the-defense attitude after a 33-point beatdown when they allowed 150 rushing yards. “I thought we were playing good run D — just particularly talking about defense — I thought we were playing good run defense,” Pats nose tackle Davon Godchaux said. “You know, I think (Jim) Harbaugh made a statement and said they were going to come in and play bully ball. Particularly when you say that, they typically want to run the ball, stop the run, play your special teams. I thought for the most part, we played good run defense.” Man. Seriously? What matters is the Patriots have one game left against the Bills, who are likely to rest their starters ahead of the playoffs. Several Pats players happily noted Buffalo’s expected lineup decision Saturday’s post-game locker room, perhaps the saddest possible commentary on the state of the franchise. That the Patriots, six-time Super Bowl champions, might win because of whom the Bills choose to sit, not because of who they are as a team. If ownership opts to fire Mayo’s coordinators the following week, the Krafts will face an impossible task of hiring quality coaches willing to work a second-year headman on the hot seat with minimal experience. If they run it back with Mayo, Alex Van Pelt and DeMarcus Covington, ownership will send a message that losing like this can be tolerated; that they again are betting on potential, while the on-field results and locker-room commentary scream otherwise. The thing is, I’m done with potential. The sure thing is out there. His name is Mike Vrabel, and if he’s willing and able to return, that’s all the Krafts need to know.

The demonstration was to call for the stopping of arm sales to Israel, to end attacks on Gaza and Lebanon and to ensure there is no war with Iran. The route was moved due to the weather while it’s understood Jeremy Corbyn was due to speak at the event but had to cancel because of travel problems. The former Labour leader was expected to give a speech in support of those marching but issues with the trains due to Storm Bert meant he was unable to make it to Glasgow. READ MORE International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu Activists shut down Edinburgh weapons manufacturer in new Gaza protest Aid boss: 'You can't overstate the consequences' of the attacks on Gaza's schools Political activist and lawyer Aamer Anwar was able to give his speech to the crowd who had taken part despite the wintry conditions. Scotland’s largest teacher union EIS also took part in the march with a spokesperson telling the rally: "A new word – scholasticide – has ominously entered our lexicon. Teachers, lecturers, educators, pupils and students are being killed in Gaza by Israeli Defence Forces." The rally comes after The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stands accused of crimes against humanity. The Likud leader and former minister of defence Yoav Gallant have both been accused by the ICC of crimes against humanity and war crimes in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The court requested arrest warrants for the pair in May of this year, as well as three Hamas leaders: Yehya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh. Mr Haniyeh and Mr Sinwar have both since died. Mr Deif is also believed to be dead, but without confirmation a warrant has been issued for his arrest. A statement read: "The chamber issued warrants of arrest for two individuals, Mr Benjamin Netanyahu and Mr Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024, the day the Prosecution filed the applications for warrants of arrest.Atria Investments Inc reduced its holdings in shares of FMC Co.

The Chinese Zodiac is a 12-year cycle in which each year is associated with one of 12 animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each animal represents specific personality traits and influences the year. How is the Chinese Zodiac different from the Western Zodiac?

Cricket fans - and even Mitchell Starc - slam Marnus Labuschagne for his wild act during India's Boxing Day Test run chaseVehicles were torched on Friday night in the latest in a string of arson attacks to hit south Wales. The most recent incidents involved three vehicles being set alight in Rhondda Cynon Taf — and police are appealing for help to identify two hooded suspects caught on CCTV. A South Wales Police spokeswoman said: "Police investigating arson attacks on three vehicles are appealing for information. It is believed the fires were started deliberately some time between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Friday, December 27. One of the vehicles was in Park View, Llanharan, outside a family home where a young child was present. A short time later two vehicles were set alight in Oak Street, Rhydyfelin, where the suspects were captured on CCTV." One Rhydyfelin resident issued a social media plea for the public's help in identifying the culprits. "They just set my next door neighbours' cars on fire and ran off," he wrote. "Two cars totally wrecked." WalesOnline has asked South Wales Police if the vandalism is being treated as potentially linked to the arson spree in the early hours of December 21 in the Vale of Glamorgan. Two vehicles parked on Stacey Street, Dinas Powys, were set alight as well as one on Cross Common Road, Dinas Powys, and another on St Andrews Road in nearby Wenvoe. A police spokesperson said shortly afterwards: “One of the cars damaged in Dinas Powys belonged to a woman who had died just two days earlier." Witnesses or anyone who has information or footage which could help identify those responsible for the Rhondda Cynon Taf attacks is asked to call South Wales Police on 101 and quote reference number 2400426105. And if you can help identify those responsible for the Vale of Glamorgan fires, give the force the reference number 2400420523.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Jordan Jones scored 18 points to lead Central Connecticut to a 100-51 victory over Johnson & Wales (RI) on Sunday. Jones went 7 of 7 from the field (4 for 4 from 3-point range) for the Blue Devils (9-4). Joe Ostrowsky scored 14 points and added six assists and three steals. Darin Smith Jr. shot 4 for 6 from beyond the arc to finish with 14 points. Roel Figueroa led the way for the Wildcats with 13 points. Azariah Harrison had nine points and RJ Jones scored eight. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green didn’t mind that microphones picked up him screaming at teammate Buddy Hield to lock in — “Wake the (expletive) up or go sit the (expletive) down!” — during the Warriors’ 109-105 win over Phoenix on Saturday night. The message was necessary in the moment, and when you say something with your chest, as Green often does, backtracking dulls your point. “Mics catch everything today, but I don’t care,” Green said at the postgame podium. “Because anything I’ll say, I’ll say it right into the mic. I don’t give a damn. It was needed.” Green’s plea came after a 24-second violation in which Green had to hoist up a grenade at the end of the possession. Hield missed a read on a post pass, which bungled Golden State’s set. In the game, Hield went scoreless on 0-for-7 shooting and appeared to let his shooting struggles seep into his defense at times. A new Warrior, Hield has been streaky. In games he scores at least 18 points, the Warriors are 8-0. They’re 3-10 when he finishes in single digits. Enter Green’s admonishment. “We need Buddy Hield to play great, we need Buddy Hield to make shots,” Green said. “And we have all the confidence in the world that Buddy’s going to make shots. But we’ve got a post feed, you’ve got a 6-foot guy on you? Get the ball here. It’s simple. We’re 16-15. We don’t love this. So do we just keep doing the same thing and sit back on our hands, ‘Oh, it’s going to change at some point.’ Or do we make a change? “I know what it looks like to win. I know what it takes to win. So as a leader, it’s on you to figure out what it takes to help this team. If that’s mixing it up with a guy every now and then, if that’s yelling, then you do that.” Green and Hield have only been teammates for 31 games. The four-time champion said he’s trying to find what makes Hield tick. That requires trialing different styles of leadership. On Saturday night, he broke out the “wake the (expletive) up” method. “You have to try different methods,” Green said. “Some guys — Jonathan Kuminga, I go to, and I say, ‘This is what I need you to do, look at this this way and go do it.’ If I yell at him, I don’t think he’s going to do it. He ain’t going to listen. He’s going to get out of here. Steph, sometimes I go to him, sometimes I yell at him. He reacts to both.” Green learned from Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo that leadership requires having a feel for every individual. By connecting with everyone on a one-on-one level, the sum of the parts add up. “If you think you’re going to lead a team, you’re an idiot — you have to lead guys that make up a team,” Green said. “Leading someone doesn’t look the same as leading the next guy. You’ve got to figure out what makes guys tick, what gets a guy going. I’m still figuring that out.” Green said he and Hield went back and forth after his profanities, which he welcomes. That type of conversation is normal on a basketball court. Healthy, even. It’s important to be someone who can receive a shouting message, Green said. He noted that he had no problem with Dennis Schroder — who just joined the team two weeks ago — going at him recently. Same with Kyle Anderson. Green has always been a vocal leader, and it hasn’t always worked out for him. His infamous argument with Kevin Durant on the bench in 2018 earned him a suspension and sowed tension within the team. He recently called the Jordan Poole punch “one of my biggest failures as a vet.” But Green is generally regarded as an excellent teammate. He’s an X’s and O’s expert, competitive beast and organizational pillar. Coach Steve Kerr has raved about Green’s influence this year especially. In the third quarter against the Suns, he was just trying to get through to Hield. “To go at Buddy the way I did, we needed that in that moment,” Green said. “We’re flat, we’d just turned the ball over. Lock in.” The big-picture goal is to create a culture of accountability. Earlier this season, Kerr said the beauty of coaching Curry is that “he lets me yell at him.” During a timeout against Boston, Kerr lit into Curry for an ill-advised turnover. Curry later said he just wants to be coached like anyone else. When players like Green and Curry are fine with getting chewed out, the rest of the locker room notices. Including Hield. “I’ve happened to play in a lot of championship basketball, lot of meaningful basketball,” Green said. “Buddy hasn’t had the opportunity to play a lot of meaningful basketball in this league. Guess what? It’s our job to make sure he understands what that means. And if people don’t like it, so be it. That’s why they don’t have four championships and I do.” ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc.

Part of Chelsea 's January remit will involve finding game time for those starved of minutes under Enzo Maresca . Cesare Casadei falls into that category, having only played in the UEFA Conference League and Carabao Cup this season despite enjoying regular football at Leicester City last campaign. Thankfully for the Blues, finding a destination for the 21-year-old is unlikely to be an arduous task, and his loan exit seems almost certain. A host of Serie A sides are reportedly lining up to sign Casadei in January. The Italian U21 international spent four years in Inter Milan 's academy but he has never played a minute of senior football in his homeland. Casadei's stellar reputation from his time in Inter's youth ranks means he retains plenty of Italian admirers. And reports indicate that no fewer than seven clubs have expressed an interest in taking him on for the remainder of the season. Lazio, AC Milan, Como, Genoa, Fiorentina and Torino are all believed to be in the running, while Monza are said to be in advanced talks with Chelsea . Maresca is set to put his head together with senior figures at Stamford Bridge to determine where would be best for Casadei's development. Chelsea are already well-stocked with talent in the middle of the park. Healthy competition between Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez has put Maresca in an enviable position, although others have been left to feed off scraps. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - a £30million summer signing from Leicester - has only played 56 minutes in the Premier League this term, while Casadei and Carney Chukwuemeka have not seen any action aside from cup games. All three could seek out first-team opportunities in January. Maresca already has sufficient depth to field two entirely different line-ups, with the likes of Cole Palmer and Wesley Fofana left out of his European squad entirely in an effort to manage workload. Ben Chilwell and Deivid Washington could also be offloaded this January after finding themselves on the fringes, and Christopher Nkunku is said to be unsettled by his back-up role behind Nicolas Jackson. Competition will only increase at the end of the season, when Chelsea prepare to welcome two prodigious teenagers. Estevao Willian and Kendry Paez - both 17 - are still pulling up trees in South America and they could make a push to go straight into Maresca's starting XI in 2025/26.Troy Asset Management Ltd lowered its position in shares of Alphabet Inc.
