"Boston Bruins' Comeback Triumph Keeps Point Streak Alive, Now at Nine"

Image
BOSTON --  Pavel Zacha scored at 3:36 of overtime for the Boston Bruins, who extended their season-opening point streak to nine games with a 3-2 win against the Florida Panthers at TD Garden on Monday. Zacha, who also had an assist, scored with a wrist shot from down the right wing that beat Sergei Bobrovsky blocker side. “I was looking if we were going 2-on-1, and kind of on the way there I was looking if there was going to be a chance to pass,” Zacha said. “But then the [defense] kind of went away, so I was just looking at where it was open in the far side, and I’m happy that I did it low blocker there.” Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy scored, and Linus Ullmark made 35 saves for the Bruins (8-0-1), whose point streak is the longest in their history. “They looked super fast, we looked super slow and we just wanted to simplify our game (after the first period),” Boston coach Jim Montgomery said. “Get to the forecheck, try and wear them down in their own end.” Aleksander Barkov and Sam

Matthew Perry’s Cause of Death Requires Additional Investigation

Image
  We don’t yet know what caused the death of Matthew Perry, the 54-year-old actor best known for his role as Chandler Bing on   Friends.   Perry   was found dead   at his Los Angeles home Saturday. An autopsy has been conducted, but its conclusions have been “deferred” pending additional investigation, according to the   online record   of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.  A spokesperson for the office confirmed to  Deadline  that the autopsy will remain inconclusive until the results of toxicology reports have been received. The Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating Perry’s death, but a law enforcement source told  CNN  that foul play is not suspected in this case. A law enforcement source for the outlet confirmed that examiners will use the toxicology reports to conclude if any foreign substances contributed to Perry’s death.  Vanity Fair  has reached out to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office. The LAPD released an  off

Masks and social distancing work, new analysis finds

Masks and social distancing can help control the coronavirus but hand washing and other measures are still needed, a new analysis finds. Researchers concluded single-layer cloth masks are less effective than surgical masks, while tight-fitting N95 masks provide the best protection. A distance of 1 meter (more than 3 feet) between people lowers the danger of catching the virus, while 2 meters (about 6 1/2 feet) is even better. Eye protection such as eyeglasses or goggles can help too. None of the strategies work perfectly and more rigorous studies are needed, according to the analysis published Monday. With the coronavirus still new, health officials have relied on studies involving its cousins, severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome. The findings come from a systematic review of 44 studies, including seven involving the virus causing COVID-19. The remaining focused on SARS or MERS. “This puts all that information clearly in one place for policymakers to

Game Recap: Handing out treats in 43-20 win

  The Halloween treats came early for Dallas Cowboys fans as visiting AT&T Stadium proved to be a scary endeavor for the Los Angeles Rams. All three phases of the game contributed in the Cowboys' 43-20 victory, the team extending its home winning streak to 11 games, which is currently the longest in the NFL. Leading the charge was Dak Prescott, who completed 80.6 percent of his passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns for a 133.7 quarterback rating. That marked his eighth career game with at least four scoring tosses and his first since the 2021 season. The primary beneficiary of Prescott's work was CeeDee Lamb, the wideout hauling in 12 catches for 158 yards, both career highs, with two touchdown grabs. Meanwhile, the running game found success too with Tony Pollard averaging 4.4 yards per carry for 53 yards, the group overall rushing for 102. And as good as the Cowboys offense was, the defense was just as good or better. The unit haunted Matthew Stafford throughout the da

Two people are dead and 18 others were injured in a shooting after a “fight between two groups” broke out in the street early Sunday morning in Tampa, Florida, police said. Officers were present when the incident happened in Tampa’s Ybor City neighborhood just before 3 a.m., Lee Bercaw, Tampa’s police chief, said in a Sunday morning news conference.

It was one of several shootings that took place amid celebrations across the country this weekend ahead of Halloween. “People were out on Saturday night. It’s three o’clock, the bars let out, there’s hundreds in the street,” Bercaw said. Authorities believe there were at least two shooters involved. It’s not yet clear whether all 18 people injured in the incident suffered gunshot wounds or other injuries. “It is tragic what happened here, that families have to wake up and see on the news what happened here tonight,” Bercaw said.
