Sweden introduces new border checks to stem migrant flow
The new border checks were instigated by Sweden to try to slow an influx of migrants that is expected to reach 190,000 this year. He echoed other German officials’ calls for a pan-European agreement on how to control the movement of migrants across borders .
“It not only was one of our better starts, it was probably the best first period we played all year”, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said.
What is Wi-Fi HaLow and why does it matter?
That should open the floodgates to a lot of new 900Mhz-enabled devices in the near future, and not just smart toasters. With the announcement of Wi-Fi HaLow at CES this week, the call for a solution may just have been answered.
Boiled down, Yzerman said he will make moves based on the best interests of the Lightning, not that of an individual player.
Drouin, the third overall selection in the 2013 NHL Draft, was optioned to the AHL on January 2, 2016 after tallying two goals and nine points in only 19 games this season.

Tampa Bay LightningFor the first time in the 2015-2016 season, the Tampa Bay Lightning came out to a roaring start against the Minnesota Wild.

Vasilevskiy, recalled from Syracuse of the AHL Friday, made three more saves during the shootout. Ben Bishop, who has played in 31 games this season, was the backup one day after leaving practice early with an undisclosed issue. It was his honest intention to play in Tampa many years.

Is that something he’s looking at, saying, ‘I don’t want this kid in the Eastern Conference making me look bad.’ So I don’t know the answer to that question, but I’m curious about it”. “One, he needs to stay healthy and get in the lineup and show what he can do”.
“For somebody who’s missed as many games as he has and to play the way he did tonight, he was a difference maker tonight”, Cooper said. Minnesota D Ryan Suter is second on the team in assists (19) and trails only Ottawa D Erik Karlsson in average ice time (28:09)2.
Valtteri Filppula and Nikita Kucherov scored in regulation for the Lightning, who went 3-2-1 on a six-game homestand. It certainly gave Andrej Sustr a long leash, allowing him to play through the expected growing pains of a young defenseman the past two seasons.
