NHL on NBCSN: Young Blues, Hawks goalies get golden chance in rivalry game

ProHockeyTalk

NBCSN will continue its coverage of the 2014-15 campaign when the Chicago Blackhawks host the St. Louis Blues at the United Center at 8:00 p.m. ET tonight. In addition to NBCSN, you can also watch the game online.

So far this season Chicago and St. Louis have been two of the league’s top teams and it’s not hard to see why. Both squads feature a deep offense, strong defense, and arguably an underrated starting goaltender.

Brian Elliott and Corey Crawford each have a GAA under 2.00, but their teams will be tested tonight as those two netminders are injured.

Editor’s Note: Pro Hockey Talk’s partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $15,000 Fantasy Hockey league for Wednesday’s NHL games. It’s just $2 to join and first prize is $1,400. Starts Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. ET. Here’s the FanDuel link.

Elliott is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, so 24-year-old Jake Allen has…

TIME

Drought-stricken California was due for a fresh deluge of rain on Wednesday, with forecasters warning of possible floods and landslides from a significant dump of precipitation.

Wet blasts since then have set off flooding, knocked out power and sparked mandatory evacuation orders for parts of California. Los Angeles on Tuesday saw its wettest Dec. 2 on record when 1.15 inches doused the city.

Southern California will be drenched again on Wednesday…

Pentagon: Iran Appears to Be Launching Airstrikes Against ISIS in Iraq

TIME

(LONDON) — Iran appears to be launching airstrikes against ISIS targets in eastern Iraq, according to the Pentagon.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham would not directly address airstrikes on Wednesday, but said “there is no change in Iranian policy about helping the Iraqi government against ISIS or consulting and advising the Iraqi government against terrorists.”

But Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said he has seen “nothing that would dispute” reports that Iran has carried out airstrikes in eastern Iraq, adding that the U.S. was “not taking a position” on the matter. “We have no indication that the reports are not true,” Kirby told reporters when pressed at a briefing on Tuesday.

#LondonCalling: Top Ten Photos

ISA Study Abroad Student Blog

Sarah Johnson is a student at the University of Denver and an ISA Featured Photo Blogger. She is currently studying abroad with ISA in Madrid, Spain.

London was an amazing city to visit and photograph! I was able to stop in for a weekend and stay with a good friend – a wonderful benefit of having a school with such a great study abroad program!

I started off the trip incredibly confused because I completely forgot about how they drive on the other side of the road. Luckily, they nicely label the streets for the many people like me!

One of the first stops on my visit was the Kensington Palace.

There were beautiful gardens, cobblestone roads and a park! Here is a picture of one of the leaf-vine tunnels around the garden of the palace. Many people were enjoying a walk or going for a run through this…
