MONTREAL — A whole bunch of Montreal Canadiens forwards got the monkey off their backs Monday night, but Josh Anderson probably felt the most relief of all — even if he didn't beat a goalie to score. With Montreal up 3-2, and Seattle pressing, Anderson floated the puck from his own zone and into the Seattle Kraken's empty net with 32 seconds left to light up the Bell Centre. The goal broke a 27-game drought dating back to last season and sealed a 4-2 Canadiens win over the struggling Seattle Kra
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Nick Schmaltz scored two goals, Connor Ingram stopped 26 shots and the Arizona Coyotes became the first team in NHL history to beat the previous five franchises to win the Stanley Cup in consecutive games with a 6-0 rout of the Washington Capitals on Monday night. Since an ugly loss to St. Louis on Nov. 22, Arizona reeled off wins over reigning Stanley Cup champion Vegas, Tampa Bay, Colorado and a rematch with the Blues. The Coyotes finished off their run with a dominating pe
MONTREAL — Hundreds of residents of two municipalities in Quebec's Laurentians region have been ordered to leave their homes because of the risk a nearby dike could burst. The evacuation order was issued Sunday night for about 1,000 properties near the Kiamika River in the municipalities of Chute-St-Philippe and Lac-des-Écorces. The two towns are located about 15 kilometres from each other and roughly 125 kilometres northeast of Ottawa. Joshua Ménard-Suarez, a spokesman for the province's Public
The biggest story from Monday night was another quarterback injury.
Winnipeg goaltender Laurent Brossoit simply stoned the opposing firepower. The Jets' backup netminder was brilliant as he stopped 42 of 43 shots — including 15 in the first period — as he backstopped Winnipeg to a 2-1 NHL triumph over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night. “Today, I felt more like myself, more like I did last year,” said Brossoit, who was signed as a free agent during the off-season. “Now, I’m looking to harness that and continue on that path.” Both Nikolaj Ehlers and Kyle Con

STORY: General Motors could face a big fine over an accident involving one of its Cruise robotaxis. The October incident in California saw a pedestrian dragged for 20 feet by one of the vehicles. Now the state’s Public Utilities Commission says Cruise could face fines of $1.5 million. There may be additional sanctions over the firm’s initial failure to disclose all details of the accident. Last month the agency said that Cruise took two weeks to supply the full video of the event. Separately, GM chief executive Mary Barra said Monday that the company’s review of the incident would last into the first quarter of next year. She said she was focused on “righting the ship” at the unit. But analysts say the prospect of fines and other penalties could delay efforts to rebuild trust and restart operations. Cruise suspended all driverless car trips in the U.S. following the accident. The unit’s chief executive and chief product officer both stepped down. GM says it has hired a law firm to examine management’s handling of the accident, and their response to regulators. One investor told Reuters that it would take many months to rebuild trust as resolve the issue.

To Kurt Kenworthy and Jackie Sanelli, it still doesn't seem real. Both are diehard Florida State Seminole fans, and both are currently devastated.

The U.S. dollar regained some ground on Tuesday and hovered near a one-week high against a basket of currencies, while the Australian dollar fell after its central bank left interest rates unchanged.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares declined in cautious trading Tuesday ahead of some key reports this week on the U.S. job market that might provide insight into the Federal Reserve’s thinking about interest rates. U.S. futures slipped and oil prices were little changed. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 slipped 1.4% in morning trading to 32,782.14. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 dipped nearly 1.0% to 7,056.00. South Korea's Kospi shed 0.3% to 2,506.32. Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 1.9% to 16,335.42, while the Sha
Japan's economy likely shrank slightly less than initially estimated in July-September, reflecting an expected upward revision in private sector capital investment, a Reuters poll showed on Tuesday. An upward revision in a capital expenditure forecast to a 0.5% decrease from the provisional estimate for a 0.6% fall, would contribute to the modest change, analysts said. Ministry of Finance data last week showed Japanese firms increased capital expenditure in the third quarter from the same period the previous year, but it was smaller than an increase in the second quarter.
