With Jones considered day-to-day, after skating in his eighth straight game, Mancini was inserted right into the Rangers lineup Saturday night against the Oilers at Rogers Place. The 21-year-old Mancini was about to put on his skates for practice in Hartford when he heard he got the call from the Blueshirts. He checked out of his hotel, went to the airport, and after a few delays, he was off to Edmonton. Mancini didn’t check into his hotel until 3:30 a.m. “It’s going to be tough. It’s been kind of a crazy experience getting on a plane and coming all the way here,” the Rangers rookie said after morning skate. “Just make sure I get some rest in between now and the game. Obviously, they have a really good team, they have a lot of skilled forwards. So it’s going to be a real challenge, but I’m excited for that challenge. I think it’ll be good to see where I measure up.” The fact that the Rangers had Mancini haul out across the country to play against Edmonton, instead of just using Chad Ruhwedel, reveals that the organization considers the young blueliner to be the true seventh defenseman. After he played in nine of the Rangers’ first 10 games of the season, Mancini was scratched for four straight games before he was sent down. The Rangers wanted him to be playing instead of sitting in the press box. “He was here, he didn’t do anything to lose that spot, we just didn’t want him sitting here not playing games,” head coach Peter Laviolette said. “To keep him going and developing, he went back down to play games. Now he’s back. Rudy is a good defenseman for us, he’s played well. But the way it came out of camp, we were going with Vic at the time and I was upfront and honest and said if I could play seven I would, but we can’t. “We just didn’t want him sitting here doing nothing and so we sent him down to play games until we needed him again.” Filip Chytil skated with Ruhwedel after the team wrapped up morning skate. Despite joining the Rangers in Calgary after getting cleared of a concussion by specialists in New York, the Czech center did not dress for a fourth straight game. Jonathan Quick got the starting nod Saturday night against the Oilers, marking his fifth start of the season. Carrying in a shutout streak of 128:05, Quick aimed to secure his 398th career win.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) — When the referee whistled for the free kick just outside the area, Atletico Madrid forward Julián Álvarez quickly picked up the ball and moved in position to take the shot. “When I saw the free kick, I told Rodri (Rodrigo De Paul) that I felt confident with the shot,” Álvarez said. “And it was a great goal.” Álvarez, Atletico's main signing in the offseason , has not been lacking confidence lately. The Argentina forward curled in the free kick shot in the 15th minute for the first of his two goals in the team’s 6-0 rout of Brest in the Champions League on Tuesday — the team’s biggest ever away win in European competitions. “We'll keep rotating who takes the free kicks,” said Álvarez, who also found the net in the 59th. It was Álvarez’s seventh goal in the last 10 matches, and third in his last three games across all competitions. The 24-year-old had a slow start to his first season with Atletico, scoring twice in 10 matches. “It was a matter of time before we started connecting well with each other,” said Álvarez, who joined Atletico after two seasons at Manchester City. “We have to stay on this path to keep improving.” Ángel Correa also scored two goals for Atletico, with Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann adding one each. “We know that in this format of the competition we need to keep adding the three points and scoring goals," Álvarez said. "It's important to get the points and the goals.” Atletico was sitting in 13th place in the 36-team league standings. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Beshear at Davos: Kentucky governor to speak at high-powered World Economic ForumBlack Galaxies head coach, Didi Dramani, has made it clear that his team is aiming for victory when they face Nigeria in the second leg of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers. After a frustrating 0-0 draw in the first leg in Accra, Dramani believes his team deserved more from the match and is determined to push forward and secure qualification. "We created far more chances and were unlucky not to score. No need crying over spilt milk," Dramani said at a press conference in Uyo ahead of the pivotal clash. He acknowledged the challenge that lies ahead, emphasizing the fierce rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria. “Tomorrow is an opportunity to get the goals and qualify for the CHAN. It is not going to be easy as there is never any clash between Nigeria and Ghana that can be easy,” Dramani added. “The Super Eagles team is a good one, and we have to take our game to another level. We will play an attacking game.” Dramani’s focus remains firmly on securing a spot in the final tournament by outsmarting Nigeria with an aggressive and tactical approach.Trump's tariffs would devastate auto sector, raise consumer costs: industry leaders
