Playoff hopes dwindle for Bombers after loss to Edmonton - Winnipeg Free Press

Today, “critical energy transition minerals” – including copper, lithium, cobalt, nickel and rare earth – have taken centre stage in the global debate over our collective future. Essential components of many renewable energy technologies, these minerals are vital to the clean energy revolution on which our climate depends. Without lithium, nickel and cobalt, we cannot make batteries for electric cars and grid energy storage. Rare earth elements are used to make wind turbine generators. Wires made of super-conductive copper make up the crackling nervous system of everything we electrify; electric vehicles require up to four times as much of it as traditional combustion engines.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and an assist in regulation and also scored the only goal in the shootout in his season debut for the Oilers (8-1-1), who have won three in a row and eight of their past nine games. Devon Levi made 22 saves. Seth Jarvis scored in his season debut, Sebastian Aho had a goal and an assist, and Shayne Gostisbehere and Jordan Martinook each had two assists for the Hurricanes (8-2-2), who are 2-1-1 on a five-game road trip that will conclude at the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. Brandon Bussi made 16 saves.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored the shootout winner to give the Edmonton Oilers a 6-5 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.

If some of his previous six NHL teams took Troy Stecher for granted, the Maple Leafs have not. The undersized waiver pick-up delivered the last-minute winner in a huge win over the Rangers on Thursday.
