Ovechkin’s 20th and Hertl’s five-point night punctuate a busy NHL slate

Alexander Ovechkin notched his 20th goal of the season as Washington earned a win, while Tomas Hertl erupted for a five-point performance to power Vegas past San Jose 7–2. The Jets distributed offense against New Jersey with Iafallo, Toews, Vilardi and Pearson contributing, and Connor Hellebuyck turning in 24 saves; New Jersey leaned on Cody Glass for two goals as the Hughes brothers contributed, amid the ongoing Dougie Hamilton saga and Kovacevic’s late assist. Elsewhere, Boston edged Pittsburgh with Victor Arvidsson scoring the lone goal and Joonas Korpisalo delivering solid netminding, and in Salt Lake City Dmitri Voronkov’s OT winner for Columbus capped a night of notable performances, with Werenski and Marchenko aiding the play; Roman Josi also produced multi-point nights for Nashville.

Sharks Discovered Living Inside Active Underwater Volcanoes

Scientists discovered large sharks swimming inside Kavachi, an active underwater volcano in the Solomon Islands, challenging assumptions that such hostile environments cannot support complex life. The sharks appeared unaffected by the hot, acidic waters, raising questions about their adaptations and resilience. Follow-up research using robotic equipment confirmed the extreme conditions, but the survival mechanisms of these sharks remain unknown, offering potential insights into marine adaptation to environmental stress.

Shark Data Reveals Animals Grow Geometrically

Research on over 50 shark species shows they follow a two-thirds scaling law in surface area and volume, suggesting fundamental constraints on evolution related to heat exchange, metabolism, or development. This finding supports the idea that biological forms may be governed by geometric principles, with potential implications for understanding evolution and practical applications in medicine and veterinary science.
