Strome scored on the power play and five-on-five in the first — his first multigoal game since March 3, 2020 — then added another power-play goal in the third to help ward off the Red Wings threat. Sam Lafferty, whom the Hawks acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins this month, recorded his first goal of the season and first point as a Hawk.
The Huskies rebounded from an abysmal second quarter in which they allowed a 21-2 DePaul run to go up seven early in the fourth, but DePaul clawed back to lead by two possessions late. After pushing back ahead by three, UConn turned the ball over twice in the final 44 seconds of the game, allowing DePaul to tie things up before Geno Auriemma ran a play out of a timeout for Ducharme to get the ball with 8.6 seconds on the clock. Ducharme, the Huskies’ more surprising freshman star, barreled to the basket for the win-sealing layup, and finished with a team-high 19 points.
Eli Brooks added 12 points for Michigan (10-7, 4-3 Big Ten), which has won its last 10 home games in the series. Houstan, the Big Ten freshman of the week after making 8 of 11 from long range in his last two games, was 5 of 7 from the field with three 3s.
“Ultimately, it’s going to be a collaborative effort between John, Steve [Tisch], myself,” he said. “We’re going to come together, we’re going to talk about the candidates. If we’re different in certain areas, we’ll continue to do our research, we’ll continue to make our calls. Ultimately, it’s going to be a collaborative effort between ownership and myself.”

When other recovering players such as Caruso earlier this season were given minutes restrictions, Donovan often brought them off the bench, but he returned Green immediately to the starting lineup. After the Thunder game, Donovan said he plans to ration Green’s early-game minutes to allow him more time to factor defensively into fourth quarters.
“Over the last six weeks, our leadership has been taking part in a discovery and research process that explored all functions and structure of our Hockey Operations department,” Wirtz said in the statement, which was released before Wednesday’s road game against the Detroit Red Wings. “This top to bottom exercise revealed an incredible amount of in-house talent while also highlighting areas for growth and opportunities to become more competitive.
Now it’s a matter of what Poles, a 36-year-old first-time GM, does with this golden opportunity. This is about setting a vision, assembling a support staff, making significant changes across the organization and creating plans to build a contender. The first order of business, of course, is identifying the next head coach for the Chicago Bears. And even as Poles went through interviews with Caldwell, Quinn and Eberflus — three candidates who had preliminary meetings with the team before he was hired — it was worth wondering whether Poles’ list might extend beyond those three names.
“This is going to be an absolute game-changer for the Little Village community and the Southwest Side of Chicago,” Ald. Michael Rodriguez, 22nd, said at a news conference following the approval Wednesday. “It will bring education, recreation and business opportunities to our community.”
The discussion arose during Wednesday’s monthly board meeting after CPS’ chief health officer, Dr. Kenneth Fox, noted the challenge in persuading parents who are hesitant about the vaccine.
