NEWARK, N. J. (AP) Evan Rodrigues scored with 29.6 seconds left in the first period to begin a barrage of four goals in just over five minutes, and the New Jersey Devils rolled over the New York Rangers 7-1 on Thursday night in the first matchup this season between the cross-Hudson River rivals. The bubble burst on the Rangers and Dylan Garand, the minor-league callup who had been spectacular in his first two starts - and wins - since franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin was lost to a season-ending injury. Teammates did him few favors this time. Captain J. T.

Top-pairing defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov had a giveaway that led to Luke Hughes' first of two goals, which came 18 seconds out of intermission. Garand made a puck-handling mistake that led to Devils captain Nico Hischier scoring on a tap-in.

Dave Leaderhouse Special to the Herald The lights were out in most local sporting facilities during the Thanksgiving Day long weekend, but they will be fully illuminated this weekend as just about all of Prince Albert’s top-end teams will be back in action after having an extended break.  The Prince Albert Raiders return home to the Art Hauser Centre after two weeks away and the timing couldn’t be any better as a four-game losing streak has the defending East Division and Eastern Conference champions sitting in last place with a 2-6-0-1 record.  While the Raiders will be inside the AHC, outside at the Max Clunie Field will be a huge North Saskatchewan Football League contest between the St.

Instead of ice, Barry Bonni walks onto a dull concrete surface at the Terry Sawchuk Memorial Arena on Thursday. The arena, as well as the West Kildonan Memorial Arena, have had to close after failing inspections. Predictably, the city’s hockey community is in a tailspin because ice time is so precious.
