Minor league report: Ville Koivunen ties goal record as Penguins rout Bears

Four goals by forward Ville Koivunen led the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to a 9-0 rout of the rival Hershey Bears at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Koivunen tied Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s single-game record for goals. His predecessors:

• Erik Christensen — Oct. 5, 2005 (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 8, Bridgeport Sound Tigers 1)

• J.F. Jacques — Feb. 16, 2007 (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 7, Binghamton Senators 0)

• Oskar Sundvist — Dec. 10, 2016 (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 6, Hershey Bears 2)

• Boris Katchouk – Dec. 11, 2024 (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 6, Charlotte Checkers 4)

Forward Vasily Ponomarev recorded a hat trick in Wednesday’s game as well while defenseman Filip Kral led all scorers with five points (one goal, four assists) for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (23-10-4-0), which has won three consecutive games.

Goaltender Sergei Murashov made 27 saves to record his first career shutout at the American Hockey League level and boosted his record to 4-0-0.

The result allowed the Penguins to set a franchise record for greatest margin of victory and set a single-season high for hat tricks with seven. Additionally, it marked the first time in franchise history the team had a pair of hat tricks in the same game.

Highlights:

The Penguins’ next game is a road contest against the Checkers on Friday, 7 p.m.

Follow the Penguins all season long.

They were the clear victor by a 60-38 margin over the Greater Nanticoke Area Trojans. Given the Mountaineers’ advantage in MaxPreps’ Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 103rd, while the Trojans are ranked 498th), the result wasn’t entirely unexpected.

Columbus Weather: freezing rain Wednesday evening

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Cloudy and chilly today with freezing rain this evening, changing to rain overnight.

  • WEDNESDAY: Cloudy, chilly, evening ice/mix, high 36.
  • TONIGHT(ICE ALERT): Evening ice/mix changing to rain as temps warm, low 32.
  • THURSDAY: Early rain, cloudy, cool, breezy, high 50.
  • FRIDAY: Partly cloudy, chilly, high 37.
  • SATURDAY: Early wintry mix then rain & showers, high 49.
  • SUNDAY: Cloudy, few flurries, high 37.
  • MONDAY: Partly cloudy, high 37.
  • TUESDAY: Cloudy, snow showers possible, high 35.

Good Wednesday morning! We have a Winter Weather Advisory for all of Central Ohio due to freezing rain expected this evening and overnight.

We will be cloudy and dry during the day today. Temperatures are in the mid-20s this morning, and we will warm into the mid-30s this afternoon. A light breeze out of the east will make it feel like the 20s all day long.

Showers will start moving in from the southwest this evening, and the surface temperatures are expected to be near and just below freezing, but higher above us, the air will be warmer for liquid rain. As that rain falls onto our cold surface then we are expected to have it freeze into a glaze of ice as freezing rain. We will have these pockets of freezing rain starting after the evening commute and last until about midnight or a little later. We will have warmer air moving in from the south after midnight and we will start changing back over to liquid rain overnight and for early Thursday morning.

Ice accumulations could be up to 0.2”, which will weigh down branches and power lines for the possibility of power outages. Higher ice totals will likely be for the northern half of Ohio, with lower ice totals to the south, since the warmer air will start moving in from the south first. With temperatures warming overnight and liquid…

Kelsey Mitchell Explains Caitlin Clark’s Influence on Fever Re-Signing

January 29 has been a fantastic day for the Indiana Fever and its fanbase.

This is because star guard Kelsey Mitchell has re-signed with the team for the 2025 season. Not only is Mitchell beloved among the Fever’s fanbase because she has been with the team ever since getting drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft by Indiana, but because her backcourt duo alongside Caitlin Clark turned the Fever into one of the WNBA’s most lethal teams in the second half of the 2024 regular season.

Clark already made her opinion about Mitchell re-signing apparent. And during her welcome reception back at Indiana’s arena on Tuesday, Mitchell spoke about how Clark helped convince her to stay.

“I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Mitchell said when addressing the Fever crowd, per an X post from the Fever’s social media account. “Indiana has been my second home since I went pro, so this is the only city I know.

“To see you guys open your arms up to me… that was a big part of me coming back because I got a chance to meet really great people,” she added.

“Then I met one of the greatest people in the world, Caitlin Clark, who just ran the basketball world,” Mitchell said. “I think together, we hope to make you guys proud. We hope to make you guys feel like you’re a part of our success and our journey. And I’m here. Let’s do this.”

It will be…

OPINION: The Last of the Republican Mohicans: McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins Are Fighting a Lost War

Donald Trump is back in the White House, and the Republican Party is firmly his. The old-guard GOP—the party of Bush, McCain, and Romney—is dead and buried, replaced by an America First movement that is stronger than ever.

But not everyone got the memo.

A few holdouts from the old establishment—Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and the fading Mitch McConnell—are still clinging to their power, trying to stand in the way of Trump’s agenda. They are the Last of the Republican Mohicans, relics of a party that no longer exists, desperately fighting to maintain relevance in a GOP that has moved on without them.

Their resistance is not a sign of strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying political class, one that has run out of time, power, and options.

McConnell’s Final Act

For decades, Mitch McConnell was the ultimate Washington insider, the Senate’s master of maneuvering. He blocked Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, pushed through conservative judges, and kept the Republican caucus in line. Love him or hate him, he knew how to wield power.

Not anymore.

McConnell is a shadow of his former self. His grip on Senate Republicans has weakened, his ability to stall legislation is no longer absolute, and his declining health has left him visibly struggling to keep up. At 82, this is likely his last term, and with nothing left to lose, he is playing the only card he has left: obstructing Trump’s second-term agenda, not because he thinks he can win, but because it’s all he has left.

But here’s the problem for McConnell—he doesn’t run the party anymore. The days of Republican senators bowing to his authority are over. The House GOP has fully embraced America First, electing their Speaker on the first ballot without the backroom chaos of past leadership fights….

North of Middle Island by D.A. Lockhart

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedit is better to dream than to face the darkness.

D.A. Lockhart’s seventh poetry collection, North of Middle Island, is a work that I struggle to share adequately.

Divided into two parts, the first half consists of poems in which Lockhart examines and reports on a “land that has been forgetful of its Indigenous past”: Pelée Island (resting north of Middle Island in Lake Erie), and the forces (both natural and colonial) that shape life there. Something is unsettling about the poems; at times, his descriptions would leave me feeling that I was in a remote space. He uses white space and words with equal skill, creating the feeling of quiet remoteness that one can have while in nature “alone” (despite being surrounded by teeming hidden life).

Other times, the world of the island is sumptuously painted: A sunrise is described as being “awash in a deepening bruise of our long waking slide towards morning and beyond”; the skittering of terns are “talons raking sand like a breath”; or, the rabbits (chëmàmsàk) kick up dust “as they dance from ditch to ditch” (the latter a particular example of the poet’s use of white space to simulate the darting of small creatures across the road).

Primarily in English, Lockhart weaves the Lenape language (of the Unami dialect) throughout the collection, providing spiritual links across time and space. (He shares a reference guide defining the words used; I wish I could hear how they are pronounced for the full lyrical effect I fear that I’m missing.)

The second part of the collection is a shift in tone (with a…
