Blackhawks 3, Avalanche 2 — Three Stars, Key Takeaways
Oh, and the teams were 0-for-7 on the power play combined (Colorado 0-4). Star 2: Penalty KillersThe Avalanche came into the game ranked 12th in the NHL on the power play at 23.7 percent. Just take a look at the pass from Phillips to AA that turned into the Blackhawks’ second goal (somehow). The Blackhawks out-shot the Avalanche 14-9 in the second period, but when Colorado attacked they were dangerous. With 107 seconds left in the second period, Alex Newhook took a puck to the face and needed some assistance.

Sugarcane farmers have a tale to tell
Also, some portion of the sugarcane crop is used for the production of gur (jaggery), especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The sugarcane crop has a longer duration than the other cash crops in the country. The sugar sector provides direct employment to one million people and has a market size of Rs501 billion as of 2021. The government has continuously increased the support price on sugarcane from Rs126 per 40kg in 2011 to Rs300 per 40kg in 2022 to incentivise the farmers to increase sugarcane production. The sugarcane farmers face delays in payments and low income due to the seriously low price paid by the mills compared to the support price announced by the government.

Wild break out of slump with three third-period goals, beat Islanders
ELMONT, N.Y. — Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin was so locked in against the Wild that even the first goal he surrendered was initially a stop. Not until a whistle did a video review reveal that the Frederick Gaudreau shorthanded shot Sorokin denied came while his glove was tucked inside the post. Overall, the Wild wrapped the first half 23-14-4 to rank third in the Central Division with 50 points. The Wild had already blanked on five power plays, but special teams still delivered — just when the Wild were down a player. We just focused on playing our style, playing Minnesota Wild style, and it's fun when we do those things to come out on top."
