DIED. Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham, 62, President of Guyana and authoritarian ruler of his Caribbean-rim nation (pop. 800,000) since two years before independence in 1966; during an operation for a throat ailment; in Georgetown, Guyana.

...goals. Cavanagh had the primary assist on his first goal, at 6:26 of the first. After Johnson made an acrobatic spin to keep the puck in the zone, Cavanagh dug it out of the corner and zipped a backhanded pass to Johnson. Backchecking winger Jarrett Sampson whacked Johnson’s stick as he one-timed it, creating a knuckle-puck that eluded goaltender Dan Yacey to the far side...
