That changed when Fischer led the Arizona Coyotes to a 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, with the 21-year-old registering three goals on the night. The Blue Jackets had taken the lead through Pierre-Luc-Dubois just 31 seconds into the game, but Fischer pulled the Coyotes back on equal footing a few minutes later when he finished off a feed from Derek Stepan. Dylan Strome then gave the Coyotes the lead midway through the first period before Fischer scored his second of the night in the middle frame, again off an assist from Stepan....

On Saturday, playing for the Arizona Coyotes, Rinaldo was at the center of another controversial, on-ice incident. During the second period of Arizona’s game against the Colorado Avalanche, Rinaldo hit Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon near center ice. MacKinnon, the leading scorer on Colorado, hunched over following the hit, which was not penalized. After taking a few strides, Rinaldo was approached by Avalanche rookie Samuel Girard. With Girard’s gloves still on, Rinaldo dropped his, and punched Girard in the face....

Canada’s national championship is set to be played at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. The tournament was been around since 1973, and was considered to be a major championship from 1979 to 2000. Jin Young Ko is not only entering the competition as No. 1 in the world, but also is the reigning champion from 2019. She finished with a total score of 262, which was 26-under par and five strokes better than the next golfer....

The incident took place in April 2014, when William Cronnon was having lunch at a Cracker Barrel location in Marion County. “The waitress re-fills his glass after his meal with what she thought was water but turned out to be a mixture of water and Eco-San—a commercial grade bleach,” Thomas Greer, an attorney representing Cronnon, said. Servers in the kitchen regularly used unmarked pitchers to mix water with Eco-San, and used the mixture to clean parts of the restaurant’s soda machine, according to Greer....

NEWSWEEK has pieced together the following narrative of what happened in the case of Maj. Eric Buckland. Last Nov. 16 the priests were gunned down in San Salvador. Col. Guillermo Alfredo Benavides, head of the Salvadoran military school, and seven other soldiers were charged with the killings. On Dec. 20, Buckland, a U.S. adviser to the Salvadoran military, was told by a senior Salvadoran officer that Colonel Benavides led the attack....

That was true from Episode 1, when Michael Jordan detailed widespread drug among Bulls players when he first arrived in Chicago. One particular anecdote from the so-called “traveling cocaine circus” happened in the preseason of Jordan’s rookie season, when he allegedly entered a hotel room to find “practically the entire team” engaging in some sort of drug use. “From that point on, I was more or less on my own,” Jordan said in the documentary....

SUBSCRIBE TO THE PARTING SHOT WITH H. ALAN SCOTT ON APPLE PODCASTS OR SPOTIFY Reboots are crazy popular right now, so it was only a matter of time before there was a show about reboots. Why do you think this is such a good premise for a show? I think the cheesier the show, the funnier it is to imagine. You’re bringing people back for a reboot, they’re 20 years older, the show was kind of for kids....

The England defender was at the centre of a controversial first half in which referee Paul Tierney paused the game for lengthy periods to consult VAR over key decisions. After Erik Lamela had an early goal ruled out by VAR, the technology was used to award Trippier a penalty – but Son Heung-min’s spot-kick was disallowed due to the staggered nature of his run-up, the replay system again intervening. Lucas Moura had a penalty appeal waved away after another stoppage for VAR, and, after Mauricio Pochettino expressed his sympathy with the officials over the incidents, Trippier told BT Sport that the delays affected players....

In a post on Reddit’s r/funny forum on Wednesday, Cynthia from southern Minnesota shared her solution to letting the neighbors know they’re in the process of re-doing the lawn. With over 99,000 upvotes and thousands of comments, Cynthia’s creation has delighted viewers.

There are roughly 57.3 million freelancers working in the United States, and only about 33 percent of them would prefer a traditional job. Eighty percent of freelancers report being satisfied with their jobs—an optimistic metric given the dreary state of traditional work. Likewise, among our traditional workforce, 36 percent of workers are gig/temp workers. The pros and cons of this shift in the economy are straightforward. Freelancers have autonomy in choosing work and freelancer jobs generally pay well....

After reportedly being offered the head coaching job at Ohio State, McDermott tweeted Thursday that he’s “looking forward to many more great years in Omaha.” MORE: Seven replacements for Thad Matta at Ohio State Ohio State fired former head coach Thad Matta on Monday in an oddly-timed decision that leaves the Buckeyes without a coach just weeks before the July recruiting period. McDermott, who has a career 445-276 coaching record, was considered a bit of a suprise candidate for the vacancy....

The matchup between 8-seed San Diego State and 9-seed Creighton will be no different, as two of the NCAA’s elite defenses go head-to-head for an opportunity to advance to the Round of 32. MORE: Boise State or Memphis? | UNC or Marquette? San Diego State (23-8, 13-4 MWC) is coming off of a hard-fought loss in the Mountain West Conference Championship Game but has stuck to its identity all season....

India’s seven-wicket thrashing of Sri Lanka on Saturday, coupled with Australia’s 10-runs defeat to South Africa, saw the 2011 winners leapfrog the Australians and qualify as the group stage winner. The reward for finishing first is a semifinal against New Zealand in Manchester, instead of a meeting with England in Birmingham, and India will certainly not complain. While the Black Caps are ranked just a spot below India in the one-day world rankings—they are third, while their opponents on Tuesday are second—the two teams arrive into the semifinal in contrasting form....

Ronaldo 15/8 to be CL top scorer The former Manchester United man, who is the current Ballon d’Or holder and favourite to lift the prestigious individual award once again this year, is reported by Forbes to earn $93 million during 2017, $2m less than Rowling. He is one of three footballers to command a place in the top 20, with club-mate Gareth Bale worth $34m and Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is currently battling his way back from a serious knee problem, with $32m....

The Portugal international, who has scored four goals and provided two assists in 11 La Liga games thus far this season, trained away from the group, after suffering from slight discomfort following the Club World Cup final against Gremio. Ronaldo has not trained with the group at any point this week, but sources have told Goal that there is no possibility of him missing the encounter with Barca. Instead, on Thursday, he took the to the training pitch and worked out with a ball, away from his team-mates....

Things didn't start well. Messi dropped deep into midfield to look for the ball as Barcelona enjoyed the early possession but looked unlikely to do much with it. And then Sevilla scored. Barca's defending was all at sea and, although Alberto Moreno's strike took a fortunate deflection to beat Victor Valdes, Ivan Rakitic had been allowed time and space to race into the area. Things then almost got worse for the visitors as Sevilla struck the post before Unai Emery's men wasted a wonderful opportunity on the counterattack, with Rakitic firing wide....

Osorio: Chicharito unjustly criticized In addition to teams fighting to finish in the top eight and earn a spot in the Liguilla, there’s also a relegation battle on. Veracruz currently is set to go down, but Jaguares and Morelia both sit essentially one point ahead. These final three weeks will be critical for avoiding the drop, but much of the talk this week focuses on teams doing significantly better. Let’s dig into the chatter and highlight some of the best storylines ahead of the 15th round of the Liga MX Clausura:...

A miserable first half on Saturday saw Barca lose Ousmane Dembele to injury on his full LaLiga debut and fall behind courtesy of Gaku Shibasaki’s spectacular strike for the hosts. Sporting 11/2 to beat Barcelona But two substitutes, Suarez and Paulinho, both struck after the break as Ernesto Valverde’s men continued to set the pace at the top of the table. Barca were doubted by many after losing Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain and suffering a heavy Supercopa de Espana defeat to rivals Real Madrid, but Suarez feels they were written off too soon, with a Champions League win over Juventus also on their 2017-18 resume....

He was asked what he told his team in the post-game huddle after the heart-wrenching loss, he was perhaps a bit too honest sharing that he told them “we’re going to go and ’eff’ Croatia” in the second match. That comment made its way all the way to Croatia and Canada’s opponent made it clear to everyone that they heard it after beating Canada 4-1 to eliminate them from the World Cup....
