A little lucky? Maybe, but the Coyotes are also creating good fortune by playing hard and smart during a four-game winning streak. Stepan scored his short-handed goal in Arizona’s three-goal first period and Antti Raanta stopped 25 shots, lifting the surging Coyotes to a 5-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night. “You earn your bounces,” Stepan said. “We had some bounces going the other way early on in the year, now they’re starting to go our way and in a few weeks, they’re going to come back the other way....

Yet, despite a beginning that saw them flirt with relegation, really something one shouldn’t be seeing with a team of the Rossoneri’s calibre, they managed to turn things around, rise to the top half of the table before the Christmas break and manage to snatch that all-important third place and last Champions League berth on the last match-day at the expense of Fiorentina. All of this, given the severe handicap that the team had faced coming into the season was quite impressive, but it wouldn’t have been achieved were it not for one of their youngest players stepping up and at times, single-handedly hauling the struggling Rossoneri back up the league table....

Six books by the children’s author Dr. Seuss will no longer be published by Dr. Seuss Enterprises due to racist and insensitive content, the Associated Press reported on Monday.

“I am proud to say that we are the first show back up on Broadway,” Colbert said to the audience of more than 420 vaccinated guests, many of whom were maskless, at the Ed Sullivan Theater in Manhattan.

The journey has been solid for them having yet to drop a set which would ultimately change....

“I actually believe there should be a major effort led by guys like [Florida Senator] Rick Scott to bring Joe Manchin into the Republican Party right now,” Bannon said on a Monday episode of his Real America’s Voice podcast, War Room. “Bring him into the Republican Party, make sure that he’s a welcome member of the Republican Party.” The former White House chief strategist’s remarks come one day after Manchin reaffirmed that he is opposed to eliminating the filibuster, even if it would help Democrats pass voting rights legislation....
