Bruins drop fourth straight, 3-2, in Minnesota

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:11:09 GMT

The Bruins looked determined to make amends in Minnesota on Saturday for their lackluster performance in Winnipeg on Friday.That lasted all of 20 minutes. The Wild wrestled control of the game from the B’s in the second period and, though the B’s made it close in the end, Minnesota came away with a well-deserved 3-2 victory at Xcel Energy Center. It was the fourth straight loss for the B’s.Whether or not the three-day Christmas break can fix what’s ailing the Bruins, they are currently broken. They have one regulation win in their past eight games. Their penalty-killing, once a key part of their identity, has sprung leaks.The B’s are missing regular defensemen Derek Forbort and Matt Grzelcyk, but their top D-men are struggling. Charlie McAvoy is minus-13 in the 15 games since returning from his four-game suspension. Hampus Lindholm, a 53-point man last season, has just 1-6-7 totals this season.And Jake DeBrusk, expected to provide some much needed secon...

Researchers at Western University say they’ve confirmed that a fire-generated tornado occurred in British Columbia this summer after a video of the “rarely observed” event went viral back in August. In a blog post, researchers from the university’s Northern Tornadoes Project say they began an extensive investigation after the video was posted showing an “intense vortex” over Gun Lake in southwest B.C. during a “raging nighttime wildfire.”They say the investigation was very careful because it’s the first case of a fire-generated tornado recorded by the research team at the Northern Tornadoes Project. The post says the investigation involved the help of witnesses, and they were able to pinpoint the time and location of the fire tornado on Gun Lake’s north shore around 4:45 a.m. on Aug. 18. Researchers say terminology around the phenomenon is “still developing,” but clarified that the Gun Lake occurrence ...
