WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Wyatt Johnston had a goal and an assist as the Dallas Stars defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Saturday.Thomas Harley and Matt Duchene also scored for the Stars (9-3-1).“I thought it may be our best road game of the year,” Stars coach Peter DeBoer said. “I liked how we started. I liked the entire 60 minutes. I thought we were tight, we were smart with the puck, we were competitive, built a lead. That’s how you want to play on the road.”Scott Wedgewood, who made 31 saves in net for Dallas, held the fort late in the third period with the Jets pressing for the equalizer with their goalie pulled.“Obviously, a tough building to come into,” Wedgewood said. “I think we played probably our best 60 the way our first period was. Unfortunately, they get a floater in the third to make things a little more tighter than I would have liked. But it was a character ending for us. A couple of big blocks by the guys and I was fortunate to make a save there short-handed and kee...

Georgia star TE Brock Bowers returns for No. 1 Bulldogs after ankle surgery

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:54:03 GMT

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia star Brock Bowers returned to the field for the No. 1 Bulldogs on Saturday night, less than a month after undergoing surgery for a high ankle sprain.Bowers got the start against No. 10 Mississippi. He missed just two games after injuring his left ankle in an Oct. 14 victory at Vanderbilt.A huge roar went up from the crowd when Bowers was announced as part of the starting lineup during pregame warmups. He went through every drill without any sign of the injury. Bowers underwent a TightRope procedure, which stabilizes the ankle with surgical thread rather than rigid screws and generally reduces the rehab time to four-to-six weeks.As it turned out, Bowers ended up at the low end of the recovery period. He suited up just 26 days after having surgery.“He’s doing all he can in terms of trying to get himself in shape and get better,” coach Kirby Smart said during the week. “He’s right on schedule for the things he’s been doing.”Bowers, who combines sp...

Skeleton Park purchases two local breweries

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:54:03 GMT

A big change in Kingston’s craft beer industry became official on Friday, but consumers might not even notice a difference. Spearhead Brewing Company will now be owned and operated by the owners of Skeleton Park Brewery under a new parent company called Spearhead Brewing Incorporated, which also owns the recently purchased Signal Brewery in Corbyville. While officially Spearhead becomes the property of Skeleton Park CEO Trevor Lehoux and his two business partners, it will remain business as usual for the over ten year old brewery.Lehoux said he could not share the financial details of the two sales. When it comes to Spearhead, Lehoux says from a consumer standpoint, the purchase will look more like a merger than a takeover as Skeleton Park plans to keep Spearhead as the separate, recognizable entity it already is.“We recognize the power of having these brands being very independent and very separate from one another,” Lehoux said.“Each one is doing its own th...
