NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville coach John Hynes took a timeout in overtime to give his young Nashville Predators options for their ensuing man advantage. These young Predators may not have been together in the NHL that long, yet they keep finding a way to keep this franchise’s thin playoff hopes alive. Cody Glass scored a power-play goal 3:30 into overtime, and the Predators rallied Tuesday night to beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2. “We have so many guys normally … you have an opportunity to practice it, and it was really four new guys that hadn’t been on it,” Hynes said. “So it was just an opportunity just to kind of sit and talk about some certain plays.”Jonathan Marchessault had been called for holding Philip Tomasino to put Nashville on the power play in overtime, and the Predators needed only 37 seconds before Glass scored his 14th with his shot deflecting off the skate of Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb past Vegas goalie Jonathan Quick.“We’ll take that,” Glass ...

New Zealand’s central bank hikes key interest rate to 5.25%

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:31:07 GMT

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand’s central bank surprised economists on Wednesday by imposing an aggressive half-point rate rise to bring its benchmark interest rate to 5.25%.It was the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s 11th straight rate hike as it tries to cool inflation, which is running at 7.2%, far above the bank’s target level of around 2%.It brings the key rate to its highest level since the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. New Zealand’s benchmark rate is now among the highest in the developed world, and the bank’s aggressive action stood in contrast to Australia’s central bank, which on Tuesday decided to pause its round of rate hikes and leave its benchmark rate at 3.6%.Most economists had expected the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to impose a more modest quarter-point rise after the nation’s economy contracted in the December quarter and a destructive cyclone hit in February, killing 11 people and causing billions of dollars in...

Ryan Mountcastle’s 3-run homer, Kyle Gibson’s efficient start lead Orioles to 7-2 win over Rangers

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:31:07 GMT

Ryan Mountcastle’s first at-bat Tuesday was similar to many from his 2022 season.The first baseman put an excellent swing on the ball, roping the pitch 102.3 mph to the warning track in center field, only for it to be caught by Texas Rangers center fielder Adolis García. The unlucky out — Statcast had the batted ball with an expected batting average of .670 — was an all-too-common occurrence for Mountcastle during his average 2022 campaign.That type of at-bat didn’t define Mountcastle’s night, though, as the Orioles’ No. 3 batter hit a three-run home run in the second inning to propel Baltimore to a 7-2 win over the Rangers. The blast came on a fastball at the top of the strike zone from Rangers left-handed starter Andrew Heaney, which Mountcastle hit off the right field foul pole.“That was really impressive by Mountcastle, showing that opposite-field power,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “Great to see [Mountcastle] go the othe...
