Miller, Nils Aman and Sheldon Dries also scored for Vancouver, and Thatcher Demko made 18 saves.“We can definitely feel it in the room.

It’s contagious when everyone’s doing it and it looks good.”Claude Giroux and Nick Holden had third-period goals for Ottawa. Mads Sogaard made 25 saves in the Senators’ second straight loss.“It’s frustrating. I didn’t think we played that bad,” Giroux said. “We did a lot of good things but kind of a weird game, to be honest. You think you’re playing a pretty good and then you’re down 4-0. So definitely frustrating.”Kuzmenko opened the scoring for Vancouver with 4:45 left in the first period.

Las sobredosis de opioides que terminan en muerte son cada vez más frecuentes en Estados Unidos luego de que el año pasado, unas 100,000 personas resultaron víctimas de esta epidemia altamente invasiva. Dos tercios han sido a causa del fentanilo, un opioide sintético que es hasta 50 veces más fuerte que la heroína y 100 veces más fuerte que la morfina, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC).El fármaco, que se trafica de manera ilegal, se ha posicionado rápidamente como una de las principales causas de muerte entre las personas de 18 a 49 años en EEUU. “Esta droga es un veneno que nos está envenenando y matando a nuestra gente y a sus ciudadanos”, dijo el ex investigador federal Víctor Ávila. “Heroína de gasolinera”: qué es y cuáles son los efectos “Me quitaron lo mejor de mi vida”: padre hispano tras sentencia al acusado de venderle fentanilo a su hija Estados como West Virginia, K...Matt Duchene scores shootout winner, Predators top Kings 2-1

I thought we played a real stingy, smart game.” Tommy Novak scored for the Predators and Kevin Lankinen made 26 saves.

There may be hope for a community gathering space in Cambridge that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic even after the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals rejected a permit for another season.Last week’s permit denial for Starlight Square, an outdoor entertainment, recreation and retail venue in the city’s Central Square, caught the surprise of some Cambridge officials who have told the Herald they will be addressing a path forward as soon as this week.Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui on Saturday said more information regarding how the city will respond to the BZA’s rejection will be coming this week. She declined to comment on what the response may entail.“For me, it’s just really a community hub, and it really has been indispensable,” Siddiqui said. “We can’t go back to what the status quo was, which was a parking lot. It has much better uses than that.”Starlight Square’s permit just missed out on being renewed during last Thursday’s BZA meeting.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The night before the Oscars many of Hollywood’s biggest stars were not early to bed before the show. They were instead chatting the night away, martinis and champagne in hand, at the storied Polo Lounge in The Beverly Hills Hotel for the annual Chanel and Charles Finch dinner, an invite that’s even harder to get than a seat at the Academy Awards.The patio where the likes of Clark Gable and Darryl Zanuck once dined was filled with the industry’s brightest talents, many of whom were dressed head to toe in Chanel, including Kristen Stewart, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman and Camila Morrone. On the red carpet, Kidman and Stewart ran to one another to catch up, hugging and posing for photographers.“It’s been so long,” Kidman said.Cotillard would join in moments later. Later on the patio, Kidman, emerging from a conversation with Idris Elba, could be seen embracing Ariana DeBose as Tessa Thompson spoke with best actress nominee Andrea Riseborough. “I’m sure...Latest news
