Nash, Huselius lead Blue Jackets past Stars DALLAS Rick Nash scored on a power play and Kristian Huselius added a short-handed goal in the final seconds of the fight-filled opening period, sending the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. Huselius and Raffi Torres added goals during a 5-minute power play in the second period, Steve Mason made 24 saves, and the Blue Jackets went on to win their third straight and improve to 6-1-1 in their last eight games. Fedor Tyutin had two assists for Columbus, off to the best start in club history. The Blue Jackets had a rare victory over Dallas goalie Marty Turco, 14-2-2 against Columbus. Mike Modano scored his 546th career goal on a one-timer at 15:35 of the second period as the Stars avoided the shutout.
Torres activated by Jackets COLUMBUS, Ohio The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated forward Raffi Torres off injured reserve. Torres, who broke a bone in his face against Detroit on Nov. 11, has eight goals and an assist in 17 games this season. He ranks second on the club in goals, and his four power play goals rank tied for 14th in the NHL. In his first season with the Blue Jackets a year ago, he scored 12 goals and had eight assists in 51 games while battling several nagging injuries. The Toronto native has 87 goals and 68 assists and a cumulative plus/minus rating of +2 in 375 career NHL games with the Blue Jackets, Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders.

Dislike predates football in Ohio-Michigan rivalry COLUMBUS, Ohio There is nothing new about the deep and abiding enmity between Ohio and Michigan. When No. 10 Ohio State and Michigan meet Saturday to play football for the 106th time, it'll be the latest skirmish between two states whose mutual dislike goes back nearly two centuries. The vitriol was magnified from 1969-78, when curmudgeonly Woody Hayes was on the Buckeyes' sideline and Michigan was coached by the similarly stubborn and hardheaded Bo Schembechler. Legend has it Hayes once ran out of gas in Michigan, but pushed his car over the state line rather than spend his money there. That kind of passion has been handed down generation to generation and will be on display in "The Game," as the annual showdown has become known.
Cleveland State beats Florida A&M 78-64 CLEVELAND Norris Cole scored 38 points to lead Cleveland State to a 78-64 win over Florida A&M on Thursday night. Cole made 11 of 16 field goal attempts, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, and made all 13 of his free throw attempts. Trevon Harmon added 14 points for the Vikings and Aaron Pogue had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in the Cancun Classic. Cole is one of only two returning starters for the Vikings, who have posted back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time since the 1980s. Larry Jackson had 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Rattlers . Yannick Crowder added 10 points and eight rebounds for Florida A&M. Neither team shot well, but the Vikings converted 14 Rattlers' turnovers into 19 points. The Rattlers made only 32.8 percent of their field goal attempts while the Vikings made 38.6 percent .
Stefanie Spielman, wife of NFL star, dies at 42 COLUMBUS, Ohio The wife of former NFL and Ohio State star Chris Spielman has died after a lengthy battle with cancer. WBNS radio in Columbus, where Chris Spielman co-hosts a show, says 42-year-old Stefanie Spielman died Thursday at the family's home in Upper Arlington. Stefanie Spielman was 30 years old and three months pregnant in 1998 when she detected a lump in her breast. She later miscarried and discovered she had cancer. Chris Spielman was playing linebacker with the Buffalo Bills when he decided to give up football for a year to stay home with his wife and children. When his wife lost her hair because of chemotherapy treatments, he shaved his head. The Spielmans became advocates for breast-cancer detection and research, winning several awards for their dedication to the cause. Chris Spielman was a standout linebacker at Ohio State and a 10-year NFL veteran. He's currently a college football analyst at ESPN. |
