Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:18:57 GMT

Cale Makar and Bowen Byram both missed practice Tuesday for the Avalanche, though coach Jared Bednar said he expected at least one of them to play Wednesday night against St. Louis.Bednar told reporters at Family Sports Center that both players were “banged up” after the game Sunday afternoon in Buffalo. Makar’s ailment was obvious — he crashed awkwardly into the end boards late in the second period. His coach and a few of his teammates did not like how Kyle Okposo’s nudge in the back played a role in Makar’s fall, but there was no penalty on the play.Makar did come back to play in the third period, but he also went down the tunnel towards the locker room a couple of times and stood instead of sitting at times, clearly trying to work out an issue with his right leg. Makar did say after the game that he expected to be fine moving forward, and felt like he got lucky after the incident.Byram’s ailment wasn’t as obvious. He did not appear ...

OAKLAND — An Oakland man who was 16 when he was arrested in the murder of a 15-year-old trick-or-treater is seeking release from prison, arguing that his young age and rehabilitation in prison warrant an early termination of his sentence of 50 years to life behind bars.Quochuy “Tony” Tran, 32, was convicted in 2010 of murdering 15-year-old Ichinkhorloo “Iko” Bayarsaikhan at an Alameda park. The shooting occurred on Halloween 2007, while Tran and a group of friends were attempting to rob trick-or-treaters with a .22 caliber rifle.
