John Tortorella reached a personal milestone in his last game. Next hell try to guide the Columbus Blue Jackets to a team milestone.Seeking their 10th straight win, the Blue Jackets open what might be their toughest stretch of the season on Tuesday night when they take on the Los Angeles Kings to start a four-game homestand.Columbus matched the franchise record for longest winning streak and delivered Tortorellas 500th NHL win -- a first for a coach born in the United States -- with Sundays 4-3 overtime victory over the Vancouver Canucks.The 58-year-old, who won a Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, also guided the New York Rangers to three straight playoff appearances followed by one stormy season with the Canucks.When all is said and done, Tortorellas finest work behind the bench might be with the Blue Jackets (20-5-4), who have the fewest regulation losses in the league while surrendering the fewest goals in the Eastern Conference (61) and posting a plus-37 goal differential.Columbus also has converted six of its last 14 power-play chances in the last four games and has the leagues top power-play unit, which has converted 27.7 percent of its opportunities with the man advantage.Were happy to have him at the helm. Hes really helped push this group forward, said Columbus captain Nick Foligno, who has assists in four straight games against Los Angeles.The Blue Jackets last won nine straight from March 18 to April 4, 2015. The team failed to make the playoffs that season, and have only been in the postseason twice since entering the league as an expansion team in 2000.The Jackets top two scorers during the winning streak are Cam Atkinson (four goals, seven assists) and Sam Gagner (six goals, five assists).Atkinson is two goals and two assists short of 100 in each category for his career. Gagner, the club leader with 13 goals this season, hasnt scored a goal in seven straight games when facing Los Angeles.Its fair to say Tuesdays game kicks off a key portion of the schedule. On Thursday, the Blue Jackets face the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins followed the next night with a game against the Atlantic Division-leading Montreal Canadiens.After the Christmas break, Columbus closes the homestand on Nov. 27 against the Boston Bruins.If Columbus is to extend its streak and set a record, it will have to avenge a 3-2 loss in overtime on Oct. 25 in Los Angeles. The Blue Jackets also are 2-5-2 in their last nine games against the Kings at Nationwide Arena.Los Angeles (16-13-2) comes to Ohios capital at the midpoint of its longest road trip of 2016-17. The Kings dropped to 2-2-0 on their nine-game trek with a 1-0 loss to the Bruins on Sunday.We played our (butts) off again today, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said after pointing out that the team played for the fourth time in 5 1/2 days. ... They left it all out there.Los Angeles managed just 18 shots on goal playing without former captain Dustin Brown (day to day, upper-body injury), who has just four assists in seven games in December.Playing in Columbus could help veteran and first-year captain Anze Kopitar turn around a season that has been nothing short of disappointing.After averaging 24.3 goals in his first 10 NHL seasons, Kopitar has just three in 26 games so far. However, 10 of Kopitars 14 career goals against the Jackets have come in Columbus.The Kings also played Sunday without Marian Gaborik, who was a healthy scratch and whose status for Tuesday has yet to be determined. Gaborik has been limited to nine games after suffering a foot injury during the World Cup of Hockey in December. He has just one goal and three assists this season.The Kings are 6-9-1 on the road this season and 0 of 14 with the man advantage in five road games this month. Asier Illarramendi Jersey .

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A volunteer football coach and six players for a small town Oregon high school team face criminal charges for a hazing initiation in which 11 freshmen at a summer training camp had intimate parts of their bodies aggressively targeted, a prosecutor said Tuesday.The Philomath High School volunteer coach, Cooper Kikuta, has been charged with misdemeanor criminal mistreatment, punishable by up to a year in jail, and the players who allegedly hazed the freshmen are accused of juvenile crimes similar to adult charges of misdemeanor harassment and assault, said Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson.Haroldson said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that sexual abuse charges were not filed because he didnt see any evidence in the case to indicate that the touching was done for purposes of sexual arousal, but rather it was done in a hazing context.The alleged hazing happened during the football teams July trip to Camp Rilea on Oregons northern coast, Haroldson said. The players were targeted as a form of initiation and one of the alleged victims was grabbed and held down twice, said Haroldson, the Corvallis Gazette-Times reported (http://bit.ly/2cbLqUS ).Kikuta, 22, previously played on the Philomath team.The basis of the charge is that he withheld care for the kids that he was supervising, Haroldson said Tuesday. This occurred in his presence.Public records show Kikuta lives in Corvallis, home to Oregon State University. He does not have a listed phone number and did not immediately reply to a Facebook message seeking comment.Kikuta does not have a criminal record in Oregon, according to state records. Haroldson did not immediately respond to a telephone message inquiring if Kikuta has a lawyer who could comment on his behaalf.ddddddddddddPhilomath, population about 4,500, was a timber town for generations but has undergone a transformation as the lumber industry declined and was the subject of the 2006 documentary Clear Cut: The Story of Philomath, Oregon about the clash of cultures hitting the community amid an economic transition driven by technology.Haroldson declined comment on who reported the hazing and would not say whether authorities believe it was an annual initiation ritual for the team. The intimate areas of the victims that were touched included their genitals and anuses.One of the critical points here is ensuring that were not continuing to have hazing in this football program, Haroldson said in the newspapers report. It ends now.The announcement of charges followed weeks of uncertainty about the team after Philomath school officials canceled the first three games, citing an investigation into unspecified football camp misconduct.The fourth game of the season is scheduled for Sept. 23 but officials are still continuing to assess if, or when, the varsity team will begin competing, Superintendent Melissa Goff said in statement.She said families of students identified as possible victims were given information about mental health providers and coaches are being required to take new training on prevention of bullying, harassment, and hazing. Teachers and staff members will take child sexual abuse prevention training in September, she added.We take hazing and bullying issues very seriously, and we have no tolerance whatsoever for the type of allegations raised in this investigation, Goff said.-----Follow Steven DuBois at twitter.com/pdxdub Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
