Daniel Sedin scored his second goal of the night on a power play at 2 minutes, 21 seconds of overtime as the Vancouver Canucks stopped the Florida Panthers’ 12-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory on Monday.
Sedin snapped a shot past Roberto Luongo, with Jaromir Jagr in the penalty box for hooking, tying Markus Naslund’s franchise record for goals with 346.
With the Canucks celebrating on the ice, the teams came together near the benches with a lot of pushing and shoving. A number of players from both teams began throwing punches as referees tried to break up the fights.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen go into today’s match at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim stung from their first league defeat in 16 months. Leverkusen were beaten 3-2 at home by RB Leipzig before the international break, the first loss since May last year for the reigning league and cup champions.

The lights dimmed and the crowd hushed as Karoline Kristensen entered for her performance. However, this was no ordinary Dutch theater: The temperature was 80°C and the audience naked apart from a towel.

The practice takes its name from a
When details from a scientific experiment that could have helped clear Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva landed at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the leader of the organization’s reaction was unequivocal: “We have to stop that urgently,” he wrote. No mention of the test ever became public and Valieva’s defense at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) went on without it. What effect the information could have had on Valieva’s case is unclear, but without it, the skater, then 15 years old, was eventually disqualified from the 2022 Winter Olympics after testing positive for a banned heart medication that would later
