A jam-packed Wednesday night around the NHL includes a matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and the Los Angeles Kings . Welcome to NHL Predictions here at Last Word on Hockey , where each day we preview and predict the upcoming slate of NHL games around the league! Be sure to check out all of our predictions throughout the 2024-25 season and follow along your favourite teams. NHL Predictions Los Angeles Kings vs Winnipeg Jets Time: 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) TV: TSN3, FDSNW; ESPN+ This game has all the makings of a physical, grinding, playoff-style matchup. Winnipeg is coming off of a stellar 4-1 road win in Minnesota while Los Angeles is looking to rebound from an embarrassing 7-2 loss at the hands of the San Jose Sharks . This is the first meeting of the season between these two clubs. Winnipeg took two of the three meetings between the teams a season ago, and has a 6-4 record over Los Angeles in their last 10 meetings overall. The team that has failed to score more than three goals has lost the last four games between the two clubs. Hellebuyck: Goaltending Class of the NHL The Jets leaned heavily on Connor Hellebuyck in their win over Minnesota last game. In that contest, the Jets displayed their stellar team defense and their commitment to playing a 200-foot game in front of Hellebuyck. This is exactly what is needed when you’re on a road trip facing tough opponents. After making 43 saves, Hellebuyck has now won three straight starts and nine of his last ten overall. Every game he is providing evidence that he is the top goaltender in the NHL. Winnipeg undoubtedly has an advantage in the crease in every game they play and that stark advantage is apparent in their matchup with Los Angeles. With Darcy Kuemper on IR, David Rittich is handling the bulk of the load for the Kings. Los Angeles’ goaltending was a question mark prior to the season and is now even more so moving forward. Jets Road Record Regression Despite their win in Minnesota, Winnipeg’s road record has regressed back towards league average in the last weeks. Prior to playing Minnesota, the Jets had lost three of their last four road games; they had started the season 7-0 away from home. In those last four road games, they scored one or zero goals three times. Star forward Kyle Connor recorded just one goal and one assist in those four games and was held pointless in three of them. Not an encouraging trend. Though they bucked it slightly against the Wild, the Jets will need to get back to finding the back of the net. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has been a force at home this season, sporting a 6-2-1 record and have only five goals against in their last four home games. Adrian Kempe is on a Heater The Los Angeles sniper has been red-hot the last five games with five goals and seven points. He is one of the most crucial offensive players in their lineup and a catalyst for the team’s success. Though unexpectedly he has only scored two times against the Jets in his career (19 games played). Regardless, he leads the King in goals (10) and plus-minus (plus-9) this season and is on pace for a near 40-goal campaign. If Los Angeles is to win this game, Adrian Kempe must be involved offensively. NHL Predictions – Kings vs Jets We expect this game to be a breakthrough game for the big guns on the Jets. They have had tremendous contributions from their depth players over the last while, but this is a game for their stars. They will be uncontrollable in 5 on 5 play and make the difference on the power play. The Jets still boast the top power play unit in the league while Los Angeles sits 28th. That is enough to be what separates the teams on this night. Furthermore, the hot hand of Connor Hellebuyck continues to scorch. Prediction: Jets win 4-3 Prop Bet of the Night Even though we called out Kyle Connor earlier, we’re sticking with him in this one. It’s a game for the stars of Winnipeg; you must include Connor when you say star . The FanDuel Sportsbook line has Connor at +265 to record 2+ points in this game. In the last four games that Connor has recorded at least one point, three of them have been multi-point efforts. He is a streaky scorer and point-making; Crypto.com Arena is a grand stage for another multi-point game for him. Please play responsibly, check for your local rules and age restrictions, some jurisdictions require ages 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.

. Many people in the Apple ecosystem love to stay on the latest and great iPhones, iPads, and Macs. If you’re trading in an old iPhone to one of your carriers, have you ever wondered what happens to them? Especially in recent years, old iPhones continue to offer a ton of value to new people, so I recently talked with the team at to learn more about their new facilities. When you trade in a device, it’s easy to think the story ends there, but that’s just the beginning. Behind the scenes, companies like Assurant play a critical role in breathing new life into your old tech. Their latest facility, a 259,000-square-foot Innovation and Device Care Center in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, shows the scale and sophistication of today’s device lifecycle process. Assurant’s new Nashville-area center, which doubles the size of their previous site in La Vergne, is set to process and repurpose millions of devices yearly. At this facility, about 800 people test, refurbish and prepare devices for new users or responsibily recycle if they’re beyond repair. In 2023 alone, their efforts kept 1.16M metric tons of carbon emissions out of the atmosphere. It’s a massive impact from the devices users once thought were bound for the trash. Once a device reaches Assurant’s “Device Care Center”, it goes through a series of carefully calibrated processes, many powered by AI and automation. A team of engineers works on-site to constantly improve these systems, using robotics and machine learning to enhance efficiency and quality. From diagnostics to software wipes, to component replacement and beyond, each step is part of a streamlined process designed to give devices a new purpose, often extending their lives by years. While others may outsource, this new facility demonstrates our investments in innovative technologies and our people, allowing us to continuously improve our customer and employee experiences by owning every step in the process, said Biju Nair, EVP and president, Global Connected Living and International. These investments, along with our talented team, contribute to greater sustainability in the connected device ecosystem by efficiently supplying the global secondary device market. Centrally located and in close proximity to our state’s capital, Mt. Juliet is primed to support Assurant and the opening of its new Innovation and Device Care Center,” said Stuart C. McWhorter, Commissioner, Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. Assurant will benefit from Nashville’s thriving tech talent pool and access to top-tier research institutions while also having the local support and resources needed for continued growth in Wilson County. I thank Assurant for its decision to stay in Tennessee, and we look forward to seeing the success that follows today’s grand opening. But Assurant isn’t just focused on refurbishing; it’s also making a significant investment in the future of the Tennessee region. The company’s $100,000 grant to Middle Tennessee State University will help fund the Assurant Engineering Innovation Lab, which will support the training of future engineers in mechatronics and automation. This investment underlines the ongoing shift toward a circular economy in tech, where keeping devices in circulation as long as possible is both a business model and an environmental mission. So, the next time you trade in an iPhone or iPad, remember that it likely ends up in a place like Assurant’s’s repair center, where it’s given a chance to power another person’s work—or at least help spare the planet a few more grams of waste . .

[+] as medicine." (Photo by Stephen Chernin/Getty Images) During the holiday season, Americans’ charitable impulses are repeatedly highlighted in stories about donating food or feeding meals to the less fortunate. Not discussed are the many poor and/or elderly Americans who are being fed by their health insurance plan based on the cold-eyed calculation that doing so will reduce their future medical costs. Although the prophet Isaiah promised that if “you offer your compassion to the hungry,” then “the Lord will guide you always,” the “Food is Medicine” movement (also known as “Food as Medicine”) focuses on a more tangible reward. Tufts University researchers found that providing medically tailored meals to the 6.3 million Americans with diet-sensitive conditions could net $13.6 billion in savings annually from averted hospitalizations and other medical issues. A separate Food is Medicine Landscape Survey , examining how poor diet is linked to heart disease, stroke, breast and colorectal cancer and other illnesses, concluded, “The current trend of poor health conditions associated with one’s dietary intake, combined with an aging U.S. population, increases the financial burden on Medicare, Medicaid and other federal programs...Improving the nation’s dietary intake has significant health benefits and, therefore, cost implications.” Since 2020 Medicare Advantage plans have been allowed by the government to offer extra benefits such as food. According to KFF (previously the Kaiser Family Foundation), 72 percent of MA plans offered meal benefits such as meal delivery in 2024. Interestingly, among those who qualify for what’s called Special Supplemental Benefits for the Chronically Ill, just 13.9 percent of individual plans offered food and produce, but 60 percent of “special needs plans” did. If, on the other hand, an elderly individual needing food or nutritional assistance chooses traditional Medicare, he or she is on their own to find help. In 2023 the federal government began approving requests by states that wanted to use Medicaid funds on food-related programs including vouchers for groceries, stocking pantries with healthy food for children and pregnant women and nutritional counseling. A Wall Street Journal article noted widespread bipartisan support for the effort and sketched out initial food efforts in states as diverse as Massachusetts and Arkansas. 70+ Early Black Friday Deals: Save Up To 50% On Beauty, Tech And More The 116 Best Black Friday Deals So Far, According To Our Editors Unsurprisingly, however, when good intentions involve ungodly amounts of money, both abuses and opportunities arise. For instance, an investigation by STAT News found that one food company that was paid millions of dollars annually by state Medicaid programs to deliver “medically tailored” meals to those suffering from illnesses such as cancer or diabetes is delivering salty, fad-laden fare such as cheeseburgers. Another company sold a version of biscuits and gravy loaded with sodium and saturated fat. On the other end of the scale (as it were), a company called Foodsmart has raised investment capital for a telenutrition platform which, according to a Forbes.com post , enables primary care providers to refer Medicaid patients to a network of “virtual dieticians” who provide “personalized, condition-specific nutritional guidance.” More in the holiday spirit, perhaps, is a New York-based organization active in the “food as medicine” movement that embodies both ethics and economics. The organization, which provides medically-tailored meals, Is called “God’s Love We Deliver.”

BOONE, N.C. (AP) — South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has been hired as head coach at Appalachian State and will receive a five-year contract, athletic director Doug Gillin announced Saturday. The 44-year-old Loggains replaces Shawn Clark, who was fired Monday after the Mountaineers finished 5-6 for their first losing season since 2013. Loggains was South Carolina's offensive coordinator for two seasons and an assistant at Arkansas, his alma mater, for two seasons before that. He spent 16 years in the NFL as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Tennessee, Cleveland, Chicago, Miami and the New York Jets. “He brings experience as a leader and play-caller at the highest levels of professional and college football," Gillin said. "He is a great recruiter and believes strongly in building relationships. He is aligned with our core values of academic integrity, competitive excellence, social responsibility and world-class experience. This is a great day for App State.” Loggains' offense at South Carolina featured LaNorris Sellers, one of the nation's top dual-threat quarterbacks, and running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders. Sellers and Sanders led the Southeastern Conference's third-ranked rushing offense. Loggains spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons as Arkansas' tight ends coach, and he worked with Sam Darnold, Jay Cutler, Mitchell Trubisky, Brian Hoyer and Vince Young during his time in the NFL. The Mountaineers, the preseason favorites in the Sun Belt Conference's East Division, tied for fifth with a 3-5 record in league play. App State was 40-24 under Clark, but the Mountaineers have failed to reach a bowl game two of the past three seasons. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly and Kansas Department of Labor secretary Amber Shultz announce the launch of the state's new online unemployment system Nov. 22, 2024, at the Statehouse. (Anna Kaminski/Kansas Reflector) TOPEKA — After years of fraud, delayed claims and long waits, Kansas’ beleaguered unemployment program has rolled out a new, modernized system. Gov. Laura Kelly and Kansas Department of Labor secretary Amber Shultz announced Friday the launch of the online claim system that has been three years in the making, and more than a decade overdue. Kelly called it a “complete transformation.” “Now we’ve unlocked access to a world of new possibilities,” Kelly said. “Modernizing an IT system is about more than just updating old software. It’s about rethinking the entire infrastructure.” The old system was “slow, inefficient and, frankly, unresponsive, especially when Kansas needed it most,” Kelly told reporters and labor department staff. Kansas’ aging unemployment system crumbled under the weight of a historic number of unemployment claims filed during the COVID-19 pandemic, of which an estimated hundreds of millions of dollars worth were deemed fraudulent. Officials admitted the system should have been updated years ago. In 2011, former Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration halted efforts to revamp the system. Kelly had planned to upgrade the 1970s-era mainframe system before the pandemic, but the process didn’t begin until June 2022. Kelly referenced floppy disks, the Beatles and the Vietnam War when characterizing the time in which the system came to be. Roughly 50 years later, transforming the system was like turning a rotary phone into a smartphone, she said. Kelly said the overhaul cost more than $40 million, but it would have cost about $27 million if done a decade ago. Continued investment in technology is important, Kelly said, “so we never fall behind the mark again.” Shultz, who took over as department secretary in 2021 , became emotional while thanking the labor department staff members. The “dark days” of the pandemic, as Kelly dubbed them, involved death threats and law enforcement protection for labor department staff. “They came into a burning building during the pandemic,” she said. A September 2021 state audit found that about 59% of the roughly 1 million unique claims filed during the pandemic were suspected to be fraudulent. That same audit showed the state processed $700 million in fraudulent benefit payments. Half came from federal funds and half from state funds. A backlog of fraudulent claims still exists, Shultz told the Reflector. However, the department believes every case of fraud has been identified. The new system, accessible at KansasUI.gov , was launched earlier this week. Some users encountered hiccups with the system’s multi-factor authentication, a process that is meant to add an extra layer of security, but Shultz said those affected have been contacted. With the new system’s launch, claim filings are at normal levels, Shultz said. Typically, seasonal layoffs bring in about 1,200 initial claims this time of year, while continued claims are at about 7,500. As the new system’s first week comes to a close, volumes remain normal, Shultz said.'Come as you are': The legacy of Mulletfest as another king mullet is crownedJERUSALEM — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital and multiple ports, while the World Health Organization's director-general said the bombardment occurred nearby as he prepared to board a flight in Sanaa, with a crew member injured. "The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media. He added that he and U.N. colleagues were safe. "We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave," he said, without mentioning the source of the bombardment. U.N. spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the U.N. Humanitarian Air Service. Israel's army later told The Associated Press it wasn't aware that the WHO chief or delegation were at the location in Yemen. People are also reading... Smoke rises Thursday from the area around the International Airport after an airstrike in Sanaa, Yemen. The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military said in a statement it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, claiming they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel's military added it had "capabilities to strike very far from Israel's territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively." The strikes, carried out more than 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad's regime and others learned" as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran's foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The U.S. military also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The U.N. says the targeted ports are important entryways for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones were shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor, calling it solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The U.N. Security Council has an emergency meeting Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them weapons. Relatives and friends mourn over the bodies of five Palestinian journalists Thursday who were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Journalists killed in Gaza Meanwhile, an Israeli strike killed five Palestinian journalists outside a hospital in Gaza overnight, the territory's Health Ministry said. The strike hit a car outside Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The journalists worked for local news outlet Al-Quds Today, a television channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group. Islamic Jihad is a smaller and more extreme ally of Hamas and took part in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in southern Israel that ignited the war. Israel's military identified four of the men as combat propagandists and said that intelligence, including a list of Islamic Jihad operatives found by soldiers in Gaza, confirmed that all five were affiliated with the group. Associated Press footage showed the incinerated shell of a van, with press markings visible on the back doors. The Committee to Protect Journalists says more than 130 Palestinian reporters have been killed since the start of the war. Israel hasn't allowed foreign reporters to enter Gaza except on military embeds. Israel banned the pan-Arab Al Jazeera network and accuses six of its Gaza reporters of being militants. The Qatar-based broadcaster denies the allegations and accuses Israel of trying to silence its war coverage, which has focused heavily on civilian casualties from Israeli military operations. Mourners cry Thursday while they take the last look at the body of a relative, one of eight Palestinians killed, during their funeral in the West Bank city of Tulkarem. Israeli soldier killed Separately, Israel's military said a 35-year-old reserve soldier was killed during fighting in central Gaza. A total of 389 soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the ground operation. The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed across the border, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting about 250. About 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead. Israel's air and ground offensive has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry. It says more than half the fatalities are women and children, but doesn't say how many of the dead were fighters. The offensive caused widespread destruction and hunger and drove around 90% of the population of 2.3 million from their homes. Hundreds of thousands are packed into squalid camps along the coast, with little protection from the cold, wet winter. Also Thursday, people mourned eight Palestinians killed by Israeli military operations in and around Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The Israeli military said it opened fire after militants attacked soldiers, and it was aware of uninvolved civilians who were harmed in the raid.
