Either way, the Coyotes are getting the best out of the two 22-year-olds and it is resulting in victories. Schmaltz had a power-play goal, Hill made 25 saves and Arizona beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night for its fourth straight win. Lawson Crouse scored a short-handed goal for the Coyotes, undefeated since acquiring Schmaltz in a trade with Chicago on Nov. 25. Hill has stopped 84 of 86 shots since replacing an injured Antti Raanta to start the third period at Minnesota on Nov....

Those are the two immediate changes in Mexico manager Miguel Herrera’s first tentative steps toward Russia 2018. “El Piojo” has already told Marquez he won’t be required moving forward, thanking him for his service to El Tri. Herrera is planning on doing the same with Salcido. Speaking in a news conference in Mexico City last week, Herrera gave a frank vision of what is to come for Mexico, explaining that he currently has a valid contract with the federation until December, but that there is an oral agreement that it will be extended between now and then....

In a clip shared by PatriotTakes, a Twitter account monitoring right-wing extremism and more, Walker said: “When you start asking if things should change, go to your mom. Why are you asking an 18-year-old if something is racist? They don’t even know what it is. […] Go to your grandparents and start asking them.” Walker, who lost the midterms’ Georgia Senate race to Democrat Raphael Warnock with 48.49 percent of the vote against his rival’s 49....

Tip: Freeze the lobster for 20 minutes first. That anesthetizes the poor crustacean, reducing the thrash factor. This, in turn, cuts down on adrenaline, which toughens the flesh.

Unlike NFL refs, MLB umpires take charge of the balls once they’re approved for play. Neither club is allowed to provide its “own” balls for game use. Obviously, the NFL’s Wilson footballs are different from MLB’s Rawlings baseballs. Obviously, pro football’s different from the Grand Old Game. MORE: From Watergate to Deflate-gate | NFL, Pats statements | NFL-NASCAR cheating comparisons But the different approaches taken by the two leagues are illustrative given the Deflate-gate controversy that has been raging since New England Patriots demolished the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 in the AFC Championship Game to advance to Super Bowl XLIX against the Seattle Seahawks....

Heynckes returned for a fourth spell in charge of the Bundesliga leaders in September after Carlo Ancelotti was fired following a 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Bayern had been a shadow of their former selves early in the campaign but they have impressed under the 72-year-old, only losing one game in all competitions. They top the Bundesliga once again, are in the DFB-Pokal semis and have one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals after thrashing Besiktas 5-0 in the last-16 first leg....

During their win over View Park in the LA City Section playoff, 57-52, Narbonne (Harbor City, Calif.) wore uniforms with pink letters and numbers for breast cancer awareness. According to the LA City Section rules, teams are only allowed to wear uniforms with their school colors. If they want to wear a different color, they must first submit a waiver. The team’s coach, Victoria Sanders, was unaware of the rules requiring a waiver....

Friday’s vote, which was sponsored by the Big 12 Conference, passed easily with a 75-2 vote. The rule goes into effect immediately for the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12, Big Ten Conference, Pacific 12 Conference and the Southeastern Conference.

But the new facility may not get much use. Justice officials were dismayed when they recently discovered language in last year’s crime bill that they had previously overlooked. It requires that federal convicts be executed by the method prescribed by the state in which the crime was committed. Many states use the electric chair or the gas chamber, not lethal injection; four permit hanging, and two – Idaho and Utah – allow firing squads....

But at the moment, you’re blocking traffic because your car’s power steering quit right as you were turning into a parking space. It’s panic time. Do you stay with your car until a tow truck arrives but miss your first college class and risk falling behind from day one? Do you abandon your disabled car and inconvenience every other student trying to get to class? Can you even afford to fix your car?...

The MLS All-Stars went ahead after Tottenham conceded a penalty in the 20th minute. Nacer Chadli’s handball inside the box gave Kaka a chance to step up and score past Michel Vorm in goal to give the All-Stars the lead. The Brazilian midfielder then helped create the second when he made a run on the right and made a first-time low cross found David Villa unmarked at the edge of the six-yard box....

Bothfeet’s new Great Ocean Walk, southwest of Melbourne, covers 56 miles of remote Australian coastline in six days. But a personal masseuse visits hikers’ rooms to ease the pain. And the trip concludes with a spectacular helicopter ride retracing the journey (from $2,295; bothfeet.com.au).

RELATED: Overwatch 2: Best DPS Heroes Then the game launched, and players united hand in hand against a common enemy: the Overwatch 2 servers. Players were met with ridiculous, never-ending queues just to log in to the game. Players that did eventually get to play, were almost immediately disconnected mid-match and sent back to the title screen, where another long queue of 40,000 people awaited them. Since then, Blizzard has been hard at work trying to repair the servers, while fans are having fun at their expense, posting wonderful memes all over Twitter....

I asked Hill about what was going on with his fellow Dookie. "It is part of it, every great player is going to go through that," Hill said. "You are going to go through that criticism, you are going to go through people taking shots at you. You can look at the great ones of the modern era, they experienced it as well. For a young guy like Kyrie, this is probably the first time he has ever had this kind of heat or criticism....

No such rescue effort is in the cards for Mrs. Clinton’s health-care sidekick, Ira Magaziner. He’s blamed for creating the mind-numbingly complicated plan the Clintons first sent to the Hill. If any proposal is to succeed, says a White House official, Magaziner must be kept out of it. Magaziner says the Clintons have assured him he will stay on as a senior adviser on health care and “other issues.” But sources say at least two cabinet secretaries have made it clear they don’t want his advice....

The Williams & Connoly law firm partner Robert Barnett told MSNBC on Tuesday night that attacks on the Vermont senator could be to the “detriment” of the Democratic party’s 2020 ticket, and argued supporters of Sanders did not take criticism of him well. He also said pretending to be the congressman in mock debates was the “easiest” of the roles he had played over the years, adding that Sanders’ adherence to talking points had been “successful” for him in the 2020 race....

“Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued,” Trump tweeted on Monday. “My victory was even bigger than thought! @JudicialWatch.” In response, Clinton fired back at the president by asserting that the study had been “debunked.” “The debunked study you’re referring to was based on 21 undecided voters,” the former first lady tweeted....

But there is one candidate against whom Clinton will inevitably be measured. He happens to have the same last name, and he went on to be elected president. Starting right away, Hillary Clinton will be compared to her husband in nearly everything she does—sometimes favorably, sometimes less so. In fact, the whole issue of how she stacks up against Bill Clinton will be one of the major themes of the upcoming campaign....

By 6:00 a.m. EDT, San Bernardino County firefighters were on the scene of a vegetation fire near Lower Waterman Canyon on Highway 18. Quickly named the Hillside Fire, officials established structure defenses and ordered people to leave their homes. “The fast-moving 200-acre Hillside Fire has entered neighborhoods in north San Bernardino,” the San Bernardino National Forest posted on Twitter. When the fire broke out, San Bernardino was under a red flag warning, signaling that weather conditions were ripe for flames igniting and spreading....
