SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Marcus Johansson, Mats Zuccarello and Matt Boldy scored in Minnesota’s three-goal third period, and the Wild beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2 Saturday night.Jared Spurgeon and Frederick Gaudreau also scored, and Ryan Hartman and John Klingberg each had two assists to help the Wild extend their point streak to 12 games (10-0-2) — one shy of the franchise record — with their their fourth straight road win. Marc-Andre Fleury made 35 saves to improve to 18-5-4 against the Sharks.“I don’t think we’re getting complacent,” Spurgeon said of the streak. “After a game is done, we sort of push it aside and look forward to the next one. Everyone is contributing, whether it’s blocking shots or, you see the power play step up today to make some big plays for us.”The Wild remained two points behind first-place Dallas in the Central Division after the Stars won earlier Saturday night at Seattle.Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl each had a goal and an assist for San Jose, and E...Oil giant Saudi Aramco reports profits in 2022 of $161B off higher crude oil prices

There may be hope for a community gathering space in Cambridge that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic even after the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals rejected a permit for another season.Last week’s permit denial for Starlight Square, an outdoor entertainment, recreation and retail venue in the city’s Central Square, caught the surprise of some Cambridge officials who have told the Herald they will be addressing a path forward as soon as this week.Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui on Saturday said more information regarding how the city will respond to the BZA’s rejection will be coming this week. She declined to comment on what the response may entail.“For me, it’s just really a community hub, and it really has been indispensable,” Siddiqui said. “We can’t go back to what the status quo was, which was a parking lot. It has much better uses than that.”Starlight Square’s permit just missed out on being renewed during last Thursday’s BZA meeting. Three members approved the extension, but f...Canadians competing in top categories at tonight’s Oscars

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The night before the Oscars many of Hollywood’s biggest stars were not early to bed before the show. They were instead chatting the night away, martinis and champagne in hand, at the storied Polo Lounge in The Beverly Hills Hotel for the annual Chanel and Charles Finch dinner, an invite that’s even harder to get than a seat at the Academy Awards.The patio where the likes of Clark Gable and Darryl Zanuck once dined was filled with the industry’s brightest talents, many of whom were dressed head to toe in Chanel, including Kristen Stewart, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman and Camila Morrone. On the red carpet, Kidman and Stewart ran to one another to catch up, hugging and posing for photographers.“It’s been so long,” Kidman said.Cotillard would join in moments later. Later on the patio, Kidman, emerging from a conversation with Idris Elba, could be seen embracing Ariana DeBose as Tessa Thompson spoke with best actress nominee Andrea Riseborough. “I’m sure...Dear Abby: I regret giving this gift.
