CHICAGO (AP) — Mark Scheifele snapped a third-period tie and Kyle Connor had two assists, helping the Winnipeg Jets beat Chicago 4-2 on Saturday in the first game for interim Blackhawks coach Anders Sorensen. Mason Appleton had a goal and an assist as the Jets picked up their second straight win after a four-game losing streak. Nino Niederreiter and Gabriel Vilardi also scored, and Connor Hellebuyck made 12 saves. Sorensen was promoted from the team's top minor league affiliate when Luke Richardson was fired on Thursday. Alex Vlasic scored for the second straight game for Chicago, which has dropped five in a row. Alec Martinez added his first goal of the season. The Blackhawks had a 2-1 lead before Niederreiter converted a backhander 13:10 into the second, beating Arvid Soderblom. It was Niederreiter's 10th of the season. Soderblom entered 11 minutes into the game when Petr Mrazek appeared to aggravate a right groin pull. Appleton had an empty-net goal with 1:41 to play. Jets: Winnipeg outplayed Chicago in the final 30 minutes, not only in shots but in puck possession. Blackhawks: Chicago played with more pace but it still struggled to get the puck to the net. They had only 14 shots on goal. Scheifele beat Jason Dickinson on the face-off that led to Winnipeg’s go-ahead goal. He slid the puck to Connor, then raced to the net for the rebound at 10:18. Blackhawks coaches, interim or full-time, are 6-7-1 in their first game behind the bench since the beginning of the 1995-96 season. Richardson lost his debut at the beginning of the 2022-23 season. The Jets begin a four-game homestand against Columbus on Sunday. The Blackhawks are in New York on Monday night to play the Rangers. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhlMeghalaya police have registered a case against a YouTuber and social media influencer Akash Sagar, after he uploaded a video of himself singing the song “Ram Siya Ram” inside a church amid Christmas celebrations, igniting widespread outrage and condemnations. The incident occurred when the YouTuber entered the church in the serene Mawlynnong village renowned for its picturesque landscapes. The video which quickly went viral on social media shows Sagar standing on a pulpit, typically a sacred place for preaching in Christian worship, and singing “Ram Siya Ram” on the microphone. The incident was recorded and subsequently shared across multiple social media platforms, sparking a wave of condemnation from various communities and organizations. The East Khasi Hills district police swiftly responded to the incident after social activist Angela Rangad filed a police complaint accusing the YouTuber of deliberately trespassing into the church and disturbing its sanctity. Rangad termed Sagar’s act as “planned and aimed at disturbing the communal harmony of the society.” She insisted that such actions were a blatant infringement on the Constitutional right of freedom of religion and cultural rights of the Christian community of Meghalaya. “The YouTuber trespassed into the altar area in a deliberate, premeditated and planned manner and shouted non-Christian songs. This act was done to cause division within the community, exploiting the minority culture in direct violation of all the constitutional rights of freedoms of religion,” Rangad stated in her complaint. Speaking to the media, superintendent of police (SP) for East Khasi Hills Sylvester Nongtynger said a case was registered at the Pynursla police station. He said investigations are ongoing and the police are doing everything possible to apprehend the culprit. Religious and social bodies, including the Central Puja Committee (CPC), which represents Hindu communities in Meghalaya, criticized the YouTuber’s act. Expressing concern, the CPC described the YouTuber’s action as a direct violation of the state’s image, which has always embraced diverse cultures of unity and living together. “We noted with anguish to see a video circulated on social media platforms causing outrages and violating the religious sentiments of everyone in this peace-loving state. We strongly oppose the act done by this man and appeal to the police administration to proceed strictly and punish this man according to the law we have,” CPC president Naba Bhattacharjee said.

Zach Kittley finalizes agreement to take over as Florida Atlantic coachYou are amazing! Just a few weeks into our Give Blood, Save Lives campaign to secure 5000 donations of potentially life-saving blood across the Highlands and Moray and already almost 600 big-hearted heroes have come forward. With each donation potentially able to be split three ways that is more than 1700 people in need who have been helped - so far. Among the 590 people who have heeded the call to help are 34 who have given blood for the very first time. A total of 41 plasma donations have also been made, plasma being a specific component of blood that can be used in a variety of ways including to help boost the immune systems of those struggling on that front, for example those undergoing cancer treatment. Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) head of territory Dr Sylvia Armstrong-Fisher said: “Giving blood or plasma only takes around one hour of your time, but it could give a whole new lease of life to patients in need over the festive season. “We’d like to say a huge thank you to all the donors who have already taken the time out of their busy schedules in the run up to Christmas to ensure they’ve given their festive donations. “There are plenty more opportunities to give blood in Inverness and the surrounding area in the next few weeks.” Among those getting in their donations before Christmas were two Highland businesses who gathered colleagues together for a collective act of giving. Among those were donors from telecoms specialists Future Group Communications Division, led by director Fraser Mackenzie who has been a blood donor for over 10 years. Join Highland News and Media campaign to make a difference Blood donations - 12 ways they can help at Christmas (or any time)! Give life-saving plasma donations “It’s such a worthwhile thing to do,” he said. “It takes so little time and effort, and it could make a massive difference to someone else out there. “After speaking with a contact at another business who’d organised a group donation event, I decided to do the same. “It was easy to organise and a great excuse to do something together and have a good laugh outside of work.” Staff from Breedon Group, a leading producer of construction materials, were also in a giving mood, among them first-time donor Stephen Chisholm. “I’ve always known it was a good thing to do,” he said. “Giving blood as a group has made my first donation experience so much more relaxed and I’ve had great support here with me. “It feels really good knowing that we’ve done something together that took so little of our time but can make a huge difference to someone else out there.’ Simon Johnston was something of a “lapsed” donor but was delighted to get back into the saddle “I gave blood years ago at a local community donor session in Elgin but fell out of the habit,” he said. “When I heard the team were organising a group event, I knew I wanted to be involved. “Coming together as a team helps you feel relaxed, and the banter is great too!” There are a range of opportunities to give blood over the festive season and beyond - and if you are a workplace, social or sporting group keen to give collectively we would love to hear from you. Inverness Blood Donor Centre has a range of opening hours throughout the festive period. There will also be a session at Green Drive Community Hall, Culduthel, Inverness on December 30 (2.30-4pm and 5.30-7.30pm) where there are still appointments available. Other community sessions due to be held over the next few weeks include at Elgin on January 5 and Wick on January 8.
