Bruins 3, Ducks 2 (SO)
The Boston Bruins, playing much of the game as if they had been partying late with the World Series-winning Red Sox the previous day, pulled out a 3-2 shootout victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
Boston’s victory ended Anaheim’s three-game winning streak.
Bruins right winger Jarome Iginla, whose five-game point streak was halted, scored the only goal of the shootout, beating Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller as the middle of three shooters.
Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf, trying to force a fourth round, hit the post behind Tuukka Rask, ending the game.
Rangers 2, Sabres 0
The New York Rangers won consecutive games for the first time this season with a 2-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at Madison Square Garden.
Derick Brassard and Chris Kreider scored for the Rangers and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist made 29 saves for his second shutout this season and 47th of his career.
The win starts a four-game homestand that will see the Rangers play eight of their next 10 games at the Garden.
New York improved to 5-7-0, and posted a season-high 46 shots on Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, leaving Buffalo at 2-12-1.
Coyotes 5, Predators 4 (SO)
Mikkel Boedker scored the lone shootout goal for either side as Phoenix (9-3-2) earned a win over Nashville (6-5-2).
The Predators owned a 3-0 lead after the first period thanks to goals from Matt Hendricks, Eric Nystrom and David Legwand. And even after two Coyotes goals in the second period to cut the deficit to one, Paul Gaustad’s score four minutes into the third period gave them a 4-2 edge.
But within four minutes Shane Doan netted a power play goal and Antoine Vermette tied it for Phoenix. Backup netminder Thomas Greiss made 40 saves for the Coyotes and blocked all five shootout attempts by the Predators.

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
