Poitras and Frederic help undefeated Boston Bruins blank Chicago Blackhawks 3-0


The Boston Bruins matched the best start in franchise history with a 3-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. Matthew Poitras and Trent Frederic scored 56 seconds apart in the third period to seal the victory for the Bruins, who are now 6-0-0.

Pavel Zacha also scored for Boston, and Jeremy Swayman made 23 saves to record his 10th career shutout. The Bruins closed out a perfect four-game trip with the win, and they have now won six consecutive games to start the season.

Poitras, a 19-year-old rookie, opened the scoring in the third period when he skated past veteran Blackhawks forward Corey Perry and beat Mrazek on the glove side. Frederic then made it 3-0 when he knocked home a slick pass from James van Riemsdyk.

The Bruins controlled the game from start to finish, outshooting the Blackhawks 43-23. Swayman was solid in net, making several key saves to keep the Blackhawks off the board.

The Bruins' undefeated start is the best in franchise history since the 1937-38 season. The team is looking like one of the early favorites to win the Stanley Cup this year.

Bruins' Young Guns Shine in Win

The Bruins' young players were on full display in the win over the Blackhawks. Poitras is now tied for the team lead in goals with three, and Frederic has two goals and two assists in six games.

Other young Bruins who have had a strong start to the season include David Pastrnak (2 goals, 4 assists), Jake DeBrusk (1 goal, 3 assists), and Charlie McAvoy (1 goal, 3 assists).

The Bruins have a bright future with this young core of players. If they can stay healthy, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference for years to come.

Explainer: Iran’s economy faces rocky road amid rising prices, falling currency

Iran’s economy is going through one of its most difficult periods in years, fueled by sanctions, high inflation, and a significant drop in the value of the national currency, the rial. These pressures have had a direct impact on living standards and have also fueled recent protests. The protests began on Dec. 28 in commercial hubs in the capital Tehran, when shopkeepers, merchants, and small business owners staged strikes and demonstrations to protest soaring inflation, the collapsing rial, and deteriorating economic conditions, and have since grown into nationwide anti-government expressions of discontent involving workers, students, and others across multiple cities. The Iranian president said Sunday that his government is determined to address Iran’s economic problems amid the protests. Masoud Pezeshkian said the government admits to “shortcomings and problems” and is working hard to alleviate the people’s concerns, especially on the economy. Currency collapse at the centre of c...

Mitchell Starc surpasses Wasim Akram as most prolific left-arm pacer in Test history

Australian veteran Mitchell Starc became the most prolific left-arm paceman in Test history on Thursday, surpassing Pakistan great Wasim Akram. The 35-year-old bagged England’s Harry Brook at the Gabba in Brisbane on day one of the day-night second Ashes Test for his 415th wicket since his debut at the same ground 14 years ago. It moved him past Wasim, widely recognised as the greatest left-arm bowler the sport has seen. Wasim played 104 Tests for his 414 wickets with Starc reaching the milestone in his 102nd, helped by a career-best 7-58 in the first innings of the opening Ashes Test at Perth. Starc is now 16th on the all-time wicket-taker list and could move above both India’s Harbhajan Singh (417) and South Africa’s Shaun Pollock (421) in the current pink-ball Test. After that he will have New Zealand’s Richard Hadlee (431) in his sights. from Dawn - Home https://ift.tt/xclHiX2

Global reaction to potential Israel-Hezbollah ‘spiral of violence’

World leaders on Tuesday sounded the alarm over fears of a wider conflict after Lebanon suffered its deadliest day in two decades in Israeli air strikes on Hezbollah strongholds. After nearly a year of cross-border fire since the Gaza offensive erupted, Israeli bombardment on Monday killed 558 people in Lebanon, including 50 children, according to the country’s health ministry. The toll — the highest since Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah went to war in mid-2006 — raised fears of an all-out conflict engulfing the Middle East. ‘Tens of thousands’ flee: UN UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was “gravely alarmed by the escalating situation… and the large number of civilian casualties, including children and women,” his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. “Tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes yesterday and overnight, and the numbers continue to grow,” United Nations refugee agency spokesman Matthew Saltmarsh said in Geneva. ‘Spiral of violence’: US Israel’s clo...
