Nichushkin scores in OT as Colorado erases a 3-goal deficit for a 4-3 win over Vancouver

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Valeri Nichushkin scored 30 seconds into overtime and the Colorado Avalanche erased a three-goal deficit for a 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.
Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon each had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche, who have won five straight. Ross Colton also scored and Alexandar Georgiev made 18 saves.
Nikita Zadorov and J.T. Miller each had a goal and an assist for the Canucks, whose four-game winning streak was snapped. Ilya Mikheyev also had a goal and Casey DeSmith stopped 30 of 34 shots for Vancouver filling in for the injured Thatcher Demko.
The Avalanche started overtime up a man after Vancouver’s Carson Soucy put a puck over the glass with 8.7 seconds left in the third. MacKinnon’s blast from up high hit Nichushkin in front of the net and bounced in for the win.
Vancouver led 3-0 early in the second period but Colorado knotted the game 3-3 midway through the third. DeSmith dove to stop Miles Wood on a wraparound, but the puck bounced out to Colton, who shovelled a shot into the goalie’s body as he lay in the net. Video review determined the goal had fully crossed the goal line.
An extended five-on-three opportunity gave Colorado a chance to claw their way back earlier in the third after Vancouver’s Ian Cole joined teammate Elias Pettersson in the penalty box.
MacKinnon was quick to take advantage, collecting a pass from Cale Makar and blasting it past DeSmith to cut the deficit to 3-2 at the 3:19 mark.
The goal extended MacKinnon’s point streak to 14 games — the longest active streak in the league.
The Avalanche got on the scoreboard with three seconds left in the second when Rantanen tipped in a shot. He has points in 11 straight games.
The Canucks jumped out to a two-goal lead on their first two shots. Miller opened the scoring just 24 seconds in to the game, tipping a shot in from the slot for his 33rd goal of the season.
Two minutes and 20 seconds later, the center sent a pass to Mikheyev as he drove the net hard and the Russian winger deflected it in.

Heavy rain washes out road in foothills west of Colorado Springs

Heavy rains in southern Colorado earlier this week have led to flooding that destroyed part of a road in the foothills just west of Colorado Springs.
City of Colorado Springs
Video posted by the city online shows high runoff in North Cheyenne Creek and heavy damage to the adjacent North Cheyenne Cañon Road. Pavement can be seen broken off from one of the lanes of the road, and the creekwaters are rushing under a collapsed section of roadway.
The washout was first discovered on Wednesday morning. It is located approximately 1.5 miles up the canyon.
Both gates into North Cheyenne Cañon Park are closed due to the damage assessment that is now taking place. The city says Gold Camp Road is also closed to everyone except for local residents.
“We are working on a plan to repair the road, and prevent further roadway damage,” the city wrote in a post on social media.

Colorado terror attack suspect Mohamed Soliman formally slapped with 118 charges for antisemitic firebombing attack: court docs

Accused Colorado terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman was formally slapped with a whopping 118 criminal counts by state prosecutors Thursday for the horrific firebombing attack on people participating in a march to honor Israeli hostages days earlier.
Soliman, 45 — an Egyptian national who was living in the US illegally after his visa expired on March 28 — is now facing 28 counts of attempted murder for allegedly spraying a homemade flamethrower and hurling Molotov cocktails at the peaceful marchers in Boulder Sunday, according to court documents.
The hate-filled madman allegedly injured 15 people, ranging in age from 25 to 88, and one dog on Sunday when he attacked Run for Their Lives, an organization advocating for the release of hostages held in Gaza since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
Three burn victims remain in the hospital, according to reports.
Soliman, who lived in Colorado Springs, reportedly said “he wanted them to all die and that was [his] plan. He said he would go back and do it again and had no regret doing what he did,” Boulder Detective John Sailer wrote in an affidavit for his arrest warrant.
Soliman – who shouted “Free Palestine” after the attack – stood behind a transparent partition in court Thursday as the charges were announced.
In addition to attempted murder, the alleged terrorist was also charged with several counts of use of an explosive or incendiary device and assault on a person over the age of 70, and one count of cruelty towards animals, according to court docs.
If convicted, Soliman could be looking at nearly 700 years behind bars, according to Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty.
“The charges reflect the evidence we have regarding this horrific attack that took place and the seriousness of it,” Dougherty told reporters outside the courthouse. “I encourage all of us to continue to lift up the victims, and support them and their loved ones and the Jewish community in response to this crime.”
Additional charges could be brought by prosecutors as new evidence is unearthed in the ongoing investigation into the antisemitic Boulder attack, authorities have said.
Soliman, who overstayed his visa, is also facing charges from federal prosecutors — including federal hate crime charges, which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Since the attack ICE detained Soliman’s wife and five children who now face expedited deportation.
His next court date is on July 15.

Trump signs travel ban on 12 countries after Colorado attack

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump signed a new travel ban Wednesday targeting 12 countries, saying it was spurred by an attack on a Jewish protest in Colorado that authorities blamed on a man they said was in the country illegally.
The ban, which strongly resembles a similar measure taken in his first presidency, targets nationals of Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
It will go into effect on June 9, the White House said.

Trump also imposed a partial ban on travelers from seven countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela, the White House said.
“The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” Trump said in a video message from the Oval Office posted on X.
“We don’t want them.”
Trump compared the new measures to the “powerful” ban he imposed on a number of mainly Muslim countries in his first term, which he said had stopped the United States suffering attacks that happened in Europe.

“We will not let what happened in Europe happen in America,” Trump said.
“We cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen. That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya, and numerous others.”
Rumors of a new Trump travel ban had circulated following the attack in Colorado, with his administration vowing to pursue “terrorists” living in the US on visas.
Suspect Mohammed Sabry Soliman is alleged to have thrown fire bombs and sprayed burning gasoline at a group of people who had gathered on Sunday in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
US Homeland Security officials said Soliman was in the country illegally, having overstayed a tourist visa, but that he had applied for asylum in September 2022.
“President Trump is fulfilling his promise to protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors that want to come to our country and cause us harm,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said on X.
“These commonsense restrictions are country-specific and include places that lack proper vetting, exhibit high visa overstay rates, or fail to share identity and threat information.”
