The Montreal Canadians forward scored just six seconds into the second period of his team’s 5-2 victory over the SBlues — and he initially had no idea his hopeful wrister had even hit the back of the net. Gallagher battled for the puck along the right wing immediately after the period-opening face off, eventually gaining possession at the Blues’ blue line. Upon entering the offensive zone, the 27-year-old floated a wrist shot from the point toward St....

The Habs congratulated the Bruins’ captain on his latest milestone with a tribute on the big screen at Bell Centre, earning him a roaring ovation from Montreal’s crowd. THE LINEUP: Pastrnak, Draisaitl, Tavares highlight NHL Week 4 It’s a classy gesture from the Canadiens organization, as they were able to put any history between these teams aside to honor the 42-year-old defenseman. With 1,500 games under his belt, Chara has played the sixth-most games by a defenseman in league history and is the leading active defenseman in games played....

“I made a choice, and it was a bad choice,” he told reporters. “I gotta live with the consequences. My team responded well. “They came out in a hostile situation, in a hostile environment, and they responded well.” See the full video here: DeCOURCY: Harrell should be facing stiffer penalty Harrell, who had 14 points, six rebounds and two assists as Louisville led 29-24 at the half, was called for a Flagrant 2 foul, but not for fighting....

Betts tracked down Jose Abreu’s drive at the warning track, only to flip over the wall and drop the ball after landing in Boston’s bullpen. No catch, the umpires ruled after a replay review.

The Brazil international has again been linked to the La Liga champions, with Madrid captain Sergio Ramos saying the door was open for the 25-year-old. Neymar made a world-record move from Madrid’s fierce rivals Barcelona to PSG in August and has scored 11 goals in 12 games in all competitions for the Ligue 1 giants. Neymar 13/2 to be CL top scorer Morata, who left Madrid for Chelsea in July, said Neymar joining his former club would be hard – but not impossible....

The Spaniard completed a big-money switch to Stamford Bridge from Real Madrid over the summer, with the reigning Premier League champions in need of striking inspiration following the decision to part with Diego Costa. 11/2 for Chelsea and Man Utd to draw 0-0 Charged with the task of being a leading man in the final third, Morata opted to take a number befitting of such a role. That decision was taken despite his new team-mates pointing out that since the heady days of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink plundering 70 goals for the Blues, the likes of Mateja Kezman, Khalid Boulahrouz, Steve Sidwell, Franco Di Santo, Fernando Torres and Radamal Falcao have already flattered to deceive with nine on their back....

Release of the memo could seal Freeh’s fate if Gore wins in November. Although the director’s term won’t expire until 2003, a Gore ally says Freeh won’t be welcome in a new Democratic administration. A Freeh friend says that may not matter: Freeh has talked about quitting but has suggested he’ll hold on until after the election so Clinton–whom he is said to disdain–won’t appoint a successor. Gore, who has acknowledged fund-raising “mistakes” in the past, hopes to change the subject by pushing his policies in the coming weeks....

The Texans should be a popular choice with fans. J.J. Watt’s personality will be a nice selling point. Arian Foster is always entertaining. Jadeveon Clowney’s recovery from injury will likely be covered. Another aspect is the quarterback competition between Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett. PHOTOS: Classic photos of J.J. Watt “We are thrilled that the tenth edition of “Hard Knocks” will spotlight a team in a division that we have not featured previously on HBO,” said Ken Hershman, president, HBO Sports in a statement released by the network....

And a potentially important one, because the specimen may shed light on one of the hottest topics in paleontology, the evolutionary transformation of dinosaurs into birds. By coincidence, a different Chinese team reported in Science last week the discovery of a bird from the Early Cretaceous, Protopteryx fengningensis, with primitive feathers that seem halfway between reptilian scales and modern bird feathers. Similarly, Microraptor’s teeth have features, such as a narrow “waist” between the root and crown, that seem to place them midway between birds and non-avian theropods....

The state is accounting for more than one-third of the country’s total cases of the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a tracker from Johns Hopkins University. The epicenter of the country’s outbreak is New York City, where 33,768 people have tested positive for the virus as of Monday.

As of Monday morning, the U.S. had reported 965,933 cases of a new coronavirus that causes COVID-19, according to a tracker maintained by Johns Hopkins University. Out of those cases, officials reported 54,877 people died and 107,045 people recovered. Health officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, believe antibodies show a person may have some immunity to the virus. The specifics of immunity people may have after recovering remains unknown, but officials are attempting to transfer immunity from those who have recovered to high-risk populations and healthcare workers through convalescent plasma....

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s (DEO) CONNECT website was taken offline over the weekend to help sort through several hundred thousand claims as a result of people losing their jobs amid the coronavirus outbreak. The site went back up on Monday, although people were still complaining that the site was glitching and not allowing people to log in, reports Spectrum News. More than 267,000 people—just over 40 percent of all applications—were told that they were ineligible to receive unemployment benefits, according to the DEO website....

One of the more recent explosions occurred around 6 a.m. ET and led to a 24-year-old man’s death from injuries suffered in the blast, according to Fox 29’s “Good Day Philadelphia.” Updates shared to the public safety application Citizen, which compiles information from 911 calls, cited comments from police that said two half sticks of dynamite were identified near the machine. At 7:30 a.m., it was unclear if the man killed had attempted to rob the ATM himself....

The study, which was published in the journal of Environmental Science and Technology Letters, found numerous cosmetic products contain high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The study states these substances, known as “forever chemicals” can be harmful to the environment and have also been linked to “kidney cancer, testicular cancer, hypertension, thyroid disease, low birth weight and immunotoxicity in children.” The study tested over 200 cosmetic products including concealers, foundations, eye and eyebrow products, and various lip products....

In August, 13 U.S. service members were killed at the Karzai International Airport in Kabul while attempting to help individuals evacuate Afghanistan after the Taliban took the country over. One of the fallen service members was identified as 20-year-old Rylee McCollum. Shortly after the incident in August, Baldwin reached out to McCollum’s sister, Roice, and sent her a check for McCollum’s widow, Jiennah, according to court documents reviewed by Newsweek....

What can they expect to find in this quiet little corner of America’s West? For one thing, snow, and plenty of it; nestled beneath the Wasatch Mountains, Salt Lake City has long been a favorite winter playground for lovers of the outdoors. The region is popular with artists and celebrities, too: nearby Park City, where many of the alpine events will be held, just finished hosting Robert Redford’s 20th annual Sundance Film Festival....

As a consolation, he treats himself to a pricey dinner at the aptly named Snobs–realizing, belatedly, just why Moscow has become the most expensive city in Europe. Nothing that a credit card can’t take care of, he tells himself. But then he goes to an after-dinner club called First. Just as he sits down to marvel at the spectacle of a willowy trapeze artist gyrating high overhead, a black-tied waiter solicitously approaches....

A new poll from YouGov/The Economist this week found that 58 percent of Americans living in areas where mask mandates are still imposed will continue to mask up sometimes even if the guidance is removed. Less than one-third of respondents, 28 percent, said they’d stop wearing masks if that was the case. Thirteen percent of Americans said they weren’t sure what course of action they’d take if the mandate were eliminated....

As the NATO-EU summit on the conflict begins Thursday, the survey from the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research revealed Americans’ opinions on the war and President Joe Biden’s handling of it. The poll shows the vast majority of Americans are at least somewhat concerned that the U.S. will be pulled into a war with Russia, with nearly half very or extremely concerned. Only 43 percent of those polled said Biden has been handling the conflict appropriately....
