SEATTLE (AP) — Joey Daccord made 35 saves in his second career shutout, Eeli Tolvanen had a goal and an assist, and the Seattle Kraken beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 on Monday in the NHL Winter Classic.A crowd of 47,313 at T-Mobile Park watched the Kraken dominate the reigning Stanley Cup champions in a matchup of the league’s last two expansion franchises. Seattle improved to 7-0-2 in its past nine games and continued its climb back into playoff contention after a disappointing start to the season.Tolvanen scored his 10th of the season, redirecting Vince Dunn’s shot from the blue line early in the first period. Tolvanen picked up the assist on Will Borgen’s slap shot that beat Vegas goalie Logan Thompson early in the second.Yanni Gourde gave Seattle a 3-0 lead 2:10 into the third on an effort play, stealing the puck from Paul Cotter at the blue line and poking it into the net after Thompson whiffed trying to sweep the puck aside.But the biggest development for Seattle in this ga...Nussmeier shines as Daniels’ successor, No. 13 LSU rallies to nip Wisconsin 35-31 in ReliaQuest Bowl

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Garrett Nussmeier showed why LSU is confident he’s capable of thriving as Jayden Daniels’ successor.The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team’s post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes.“You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn’t matter if you start from the 1, the 2 … you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone,” the third-year sophomore said.“That doesn’t just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group,” Nussmeier added. “You can’t do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more.”Stepping in to make his first college start after Daniels — the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner — opted out to begin...With playoffs clinched, Browns may rest QB Joe Flacco, other starters for finale vs. Bengals

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns are in both the playoffs and an unusual spot: They can treat their regular-season finale like a preseason game.With a wild-card berth already locked up, Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski indicated Monday he may rest some starters, including red-hot quarterback Joe Flacco, for Sunday’s final regular-season game at Cincinnati.“We’re working through all those things,” he said. “We’ll have a plan. Obviously, we want to finish strong, so we’ll have a plan moving forward.”This kind of scenario doesn’t happen often in Cleveland.The Browns (11-5) clinched their third postseason appearance since 1999 on Thursday night with a win over the New York Jets. They went into the weekend with a remote chance of winning the AFC North, but those hopes ended when the Baltimore Ravens blasted Miami 56-19.That makes this week’s game against the Bengals (8-8) meaningless, and Stefanski will consider having players rest and avoid injuries as the No. 5 seed Browns ...Salah scores 2 after changing boots as Liverpool beats Newcastle to open up 3-point lead

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Mohamed Salah headed off to the Africa Cup of Nations on the back of a starring role for Liverpool in its 4-2 win over Newcastle that opened up a three-point lead in the English Premier League on Monday.An individual performance that started with his latest failure from the penalty spot ended with Salah scoring Liverpool’s first and last goals and having a hand in the other two for his team in a chaotic game in wet and wild conditions at Anfield. All of the goals came in an end-to-end second half.The league pauses for the FA Cup and then a winter break lasting much of the rest of January with Liverpool looking the team most likely to stop Manchester City winning an unprecedented fourth straight top-flight title. City was in third place, five points behind Liverpool — and two behind Aston Villa — with a game in hand.Salah, who could be missing until mid-February depending on how far Egypt advances in the Africa Cup, could be the player to lead Liverpool to a...The New Year offers a clean slate for long-elusive resolutions.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s an annual end-of-year exercise in futility for many. But a clean slate awaits at the stroke of midnight for the next round of resolutions.From the first spray of fireworks to the closing chorus of “Auld Lang Syne” 366 days into the future — 2024 is a leap year — it could be the year for finally achieving long-elusive goals, fulfilling aspirations and being resolute on all those New Year resolutions.“As humans, we are creatures that aspire,” said Omid Fotuhi, a social psychologist who is a motivation and performance researcher.“The fact that we have goals, the fact that we want to set goals is just a manifestation of that internal and almost universal desire to want to stretch, to want to reach, to want to expand and grow,” said Fotuhi, the director of learning innovation at Western Governors University Labs and a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh.“New Year’s resolutions are one of those ways in which we do that,” he said. “There’s somethin...Arrestan al pelotero de los Rays Wander Franco en República Dominicana, según fuente AP

El campocorto de los Rays de Tampa Bay, Wander Franco, fue arrestado el lunes en República Dominicana tras una entrevista con la fiscalía que lo estaba investigando por supuestamente tener una relación con una menor, según informó un oficial de la oficina de la fiscalía de la provincia de Puerto Plata.Franco compareció en la fiscalía acompañado de dos abogados días después de que no se presentó a una reunión con la fiscal Olga Diná Llaverías, de acuerdo con el oficial que habló con The Associated Press en condición de anonimato debido a que la persona no tiene autorización para hablar del caso. La oficina indicó que la entrevista duró alrededor de tres horas.Llaverías originalmente pidió la presencia de Franco el 28 de diciembre, dos días después de que la fiscalía y la policía acudieron a dos de las propiedades del pelotero en Baní, su ciudad natal y que está a 60 kilómetros al suroeste de la capital, para solicitar que se presentara a comparecer.

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Jurgen Klopp’s joy at seeing Liverpool secure a big win in the English Premier League turned into dismay when he briefly lost his wedding ring in the post-match celebrations on Monday.It needed the sharp eye of a TV cameraperson to locate the ring in the middle of the pitch at Anfield. A relieved Klopp responded by kissing the ring in front of the cameras.“I had a massive shock,” Klopp said, “but it’s back.”The incident happened in the moments after Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Newcastle that lifted Klopp’s team three points clear in the standings.Klopp had congratulated his players and was heading toward the fans while applauding, before he realized he no longer had his wedding ring on. He scoured the grass near where he was standing, even asking a steward if he wouldn’t mind helping in the search.Klopp was then told where the ring was by the person operating the camera for British broadcaster Sky Sports.“Oh my God, that would have been really awful,” Kl...Fire displaces family, dogs from SWMD home on New Year’s

Fierce flames ripped through a family’s home in Southwest Miami-Dade on the first day of the year.The relatives of the family managed to make a fire escape before the fire department showed up, thanks to a quick-thinking good samaritan.It happened just before 2:30 a.m. on Monday when Stacey Ellis heard a lifesaving knock at the door of his mother-in-law’s home.“I was watching television, someone came and knocked on the door and I knew it wasn’t a normal knock so I ran to the door,” said Ellis. “So I ran to the door, opened the door and they showed us where the house was on fire.”Jacek Bogdanienko and his wife, the neighbors who live down the street, saw the blaze while coming home from a New Year’s Eve party.“We stopped the car and we see the flames, every moment higher and higher,” said Bogdanienko. “That the fire was too big to be secure. First what I did was take the phone, call 911.”Realizing just how big th...Latest news
