LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jordan Eberle had a power-play goal, Frederick Gaudreau and Ben Meyers also scored, and the Seattle Kraken held on for a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.

Joey Daccord made 35 saves and Eeli Tolvanen had two assists for the Kraken, who have won three in a row after dropping nine of their previous 10 games in regulation.

Kevin Fiala and Andrei Kuzmenko scored as the Kings were held to fewer than three goals for the seventh straight game. Pheonix Copley made 25 saves.

Seattle had struggled in the second game of back-to-backs, but reeling Los Angeles was a welcome panacea. Eberle got the Kraken's fifth power-play goal in six games when he beat Copley over the goalie's left shoulder from close range early in the second period.

Gaudreau benefited from a gaffe by Copley, who couldn't catch a fluttering puck after Brian Dumoulin broke up the shot and it trickled between the goalie's legs for a 2-0 lead.

Copley hadn't started in the NHL since Dec. 10, 2023, when he made 23 saves in a 4-1 loss at the New York Rangers, and tore his ACL in practice in January 2024.

Meyers made it 3-0 off the rush before Fiala got Los Angeles on the board with 3:47 left in the second period.

Kuzmenko got LA within 3-2 at 8:45 of the third period on a wraparound.

The Kraken didn't have top defenseman Vince Dunn because of an upper-body injury he sustained in a win at Anaheim on Monday on a hit from Ducks forward Ross Johnston. Forward Berkly Catton was back for Seattle after missing eight games because of an upper-body injury.

Kraken: Host Philadelphia on Sunday.

Kings: Host Anaheim on Saturday.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Luke Kunin and Anton Lundell scored 43 seconds apart during a five-goal third period for the Florida Panthers, who rallied past the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2 on Tuesday night.

Niko Mikkola began the Panthers' burst with his first goal of the season and Florida ended up with four goals in slightly more six minutes. Anton Lundell also scored, and Seth Jones capped the scoring on the power play. Sam Reinhart had three assists, and Eetu Luostarinen and Aaron Ekblad each provided two.

Sergei Bobrovsky made 17 saves for his sixth consecutive victory as the Panthers, who made their first visit to Raleigh since their series-ending Game 5 victory in the Eastern Conference finals last spring, won for the fifth time in six games.

Eric Robinson and Andrei Svechnikov scored for the Hurricanes, who've lost three straight games for the first time this season. Frederik Andersen, playing for the first time after a nine-game layoff, made 17 saves but is winless in his last seven games (0-5-2).

It was Florida's second comeback against the Hurricanes in less than a week. The Panthers wiped out a three-goal hole in the third period Thursday on the way to a shootout victory at home.

Robinson scored 4:15 into the game. Svechnikov's goal came as he skated out of the penalty box and caught the Panthers off guard, scoring on a breakaway 1:58 into the second period. He slid the puck between Bobrovsky's pads.

The Panthers had seven shots on goal through the first two periods and then nearly as many goals in the third on 15 shots.

MAPLE LEAFS 6, PENGUINS 3

TORONTO (AP) — Max Domi scored the winner with 8:25 remaining to snap a 23-game goalless streak and added an assist to end Toronto's three-game slide with a win against Pittsburgh.

Domi danced around Pittsburgh newcomer Brett Kulak for the deciding goal, a few hours after Toronto general manager Brad Treliving gave coach Craig Berube a vote of confidence for the second time this season.

William Nylander scored twice and added two assists, and Matias Maccelli and Steven Lorentz also scored for Toronto. Bobby McMann added an empty-netter to give Toronto its third win this season against the Penguins.

Bryan Rust, Rutger McGroarty and Anthony Mantha scored for the Penguins, who have lost nine of their last 10.

Nylander scored the icebreaker for his first in 11 games, midway through the first period. But Rust drew the Penguins even 44 seconds later, getting behind Nicolas Roy and Chris Tanev for a successful breakaway.

RED WINGS 4, STARS 3, OT

DETROIT (AP) — Dylan Larkin scored the tying goal late in the third period and then got the winner 34 seconds into overtime to rally Detroit to a victory over Dallas for its third straight win.

James van Riemsdyk had a goal and an assist, Emmitt Finnie also scored and Moritz Seider had two assists for the Red Wings. John Gibson finished with 19 saves as Detroit improved to 9-2-2 in their last 13 games.

Roope Hintz, Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston scored for the Stars, who snapped a four-game win streak. Mikko Rantanen had two assists and Casey DeSmith stopped 21 shots as Dallas lost for the fifth time in 18 games (13-2-3).

In the extra period, Larkin brought the puck into the offensive zone, skated into the slot and fired it past DeSmith for his 20th goal of the season.

Johnston gave the Stars a 3-2 lead with 8:42 remaining in regulation, redirecting a pass from Miro Heiskanen past Gibson for his 20th. It was his league-leading 14th power-play goal.

Larkin tied it again on a power play with 4:03 to go, getting a backwards pass through traffic across the front from van Riemsdyk and beating DeSmith.

RANGERS 7, CAPITALS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Taylor Raddysh and Alexis Lafreniere scored 68 seconds apart, part of a five-goal third period for New York in a victory over Washington.

Raddysh scored twice against his former team, and Vincent Trocheck also had two goals. Will Cuylle and Artemi Panarin also scored for New York, which is 14-6-1 on the road this season and 5-10-3 at home.

John Carlson, Dylan Strome and Aliaksei Protas scored for the Capitals, who are 1-4-2 in their last seven games.

After the Rangers trailed 3-2 entering the third, Raddysh tied it when his backhand effort in close ended up behind goalie Logan Thompson with 11:50 to play. Just over a minute later, Panarin's shot from near the blue line deflected in off Lafreniere.

Trocheck made it 5-3 with 6:17 left, and Panarin added a goal into an empty net. Then with the goalie back in, Trocheck scored another.

Raddysh, who scored seven goals for the Capitals last season, received a message on the video board welcoming him back, then opened the scoring later in the first period. It was 1-all in the second when Strome scored after Igor Shesterkinnearly robbed himwith a glove save. The puck came across the goalmouth to the Washington forward, and he appeared to have most of the net to shoot at before Shesterkin snapped his glove across and caught the puck in spectacular fashion.

ISLANDERS 2, DEVILS 1

NEW YORK (AP) — Adam Pelech scored the tiebreaking goal late in the third period, and New York beat New Jersey.

Simon Holmstrom also scored for the Islanders and David Rittich stopped 28 shots as New York snapped a three-game skid before the NHL enters its three-day holiday break.

Brett Pesce scored for New Jersey in its second straight loss. Jacob Markstrom had 23 saves.

Islanders captain Anders Lee made a cross-ice pass to set up Holmstrom for a one-timer that went wide, and Pelech scored on the rebound with 1:15 remaining.

Holmstrom tied the score with 7:50 left in the second period after capitalizing on a miscue by Markstrom. The Devils' goaltender left the crease to play the puck in the corner, but a miscommunication with Jonas Siegenthaler allowed the puck to squirt free, and Holmstrom scored into the open net.

Pesce opened the scoring with less than five minutes remaining in the first period with his first goal of the season in his 13th game.

CANADIENS 6, BRUINS 2

BOSTON (AP) — Zachary Bolduc scored to give the Canadiens the lead as Montreal scored four goals in a five-minute span to snap a third-period tie and run away from Boston.

Sammy Blais, Ivan Demidov, Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki and Juraj Slafkovsky also scored for Montreal. Jacob Fowler stopped 26 shots for the Canadiens in a game thatstarted with fisticuffsbut ended with the Bruins going down meekly.

Marat Khusnutdinov and Alex Steeves scored in the first period to give Boston a 2-1 lead, but Demidov tied it two minutes into the second when he swept in to steal a bad pass from Nikita Zadorov to David Pastrnak and skated in on Jeremy Swayman for the goal.

The Bruins had a goal waved off in the final seconds of the second period and it was still 2-2 when Zadorov broke his stick while trying to clear the zone and left the puck for Bolduc.

The Canadiens winger passed the puck and then followed up to knock home a rebound to make it 3-2. Caufield scored on a power play 99 seconds later, and Suzuki scored with a two-man advantage.

SABRES 3, SENATORS 2, OT

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Bowen Byram scored his second goal of the game 31 seconds into overtime and Buffalo beat Ottawa, extending its win streak to seven heading into the Christmas break.

It marks the first seven-game winning streak for the Sabres (18-14-4) since November 2018.

Noah Ostlund also scored for Buffalo, with an assist from Byram, and Alex Lyon made 24 saves.

Ridly Greig and Tim Stutzle each had a goal for the Senators, who had won four in a row. Linus Ullmark stopped 22 shots.

Stutzle extended his point streak to eight games (7 goals, 8 assists).

Ottawa (18-13-5) had an opportunity to take the lead after Alex Tuch was assessed a hooking penalty with 1:51 left in the third period, but the Senators were unable to capitalize.

PREDATORS 3, WILD 2, OT

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Steven Stamkos scored 53 seconds into overtime to give Nashville a victory over Minnesota.

Stamkos got a step on his defender as he raced down the slot, and Erik Haula found him with a pass that Stamkos deflected past goalie Filip Gustavsson.

Ryan O'Reilly had a goal and an assist, Roman Josi also scored and Juuse Saros stopped 30 shots for the Predators, who have won three in a row and four of five.

Brock Faber and Joel Eriksson Ek scored for the Wild, who have lost two straight following a seven-game winning streak. Gustavsson made 26 saves.

Faber gave the Wild a lead seven minutes into the game on a one-timer off a pass from Quinn Hughes. But then O'Reilly and Josi scored power-play goals to give the Predators a 2-1 advantage after one period.

Eriksson Ek tied it early in the second, scoring while the Wild had an extra skater on the ice due to a delayed penalty on Nashville.

AVALANCHE 1, MAMMOTH 0

DENVER (AP) — Scott Wedgewood made 32 saves for his second shutout of the season, and NHL-bestColoradobeat Utah.

Wedgewood's 10th career shutout helped extend Colorado's home winning streak to 13 games. The Avalanche have won six in a row overall and eight of nine heading into the holiday break.

Colorado's 61 points are the second most in the NHL after 36 games behind the 1929-30 Boston Bruins, who had 63 points at that stage.

Samuel Girard scored the lone goal for the Avalanche (27-2-7), who remain unbeaten in regulation at home (15-0-2). They have not lost on home ice since Carolina's 5-4 shootout win on Oct. 23.

Vitek Vanecek stopped 25 shots for Utah, which had won two of three.

The Mammoth's No. 1 goaltender, Karel Vejmelka, was a late scratch with an upper-body injury. Utah signed Colten McIntyre to an amateur-tryout agreement to serve as Vanecek's backup for the night.

FLYERS 3, BLACKHAWKS 1

CHICAGO (AP) — Travis Konecny scored and added his 300th career assist, leading Philadelphia past Chicago while handing the depleted Blackhawks their sixth straight loss.

Noah Cates had a power-play goal, Carl Grundstrom added an empty-netter and Philadelphia leading scorer Trevor Zegras assisted on Konecny's goal to extend his point streak to a career-high nine games. The Flyers won their second straight, coming off a 5-2 win over Vancouver on Monday.

Samuel Ersson made 20 saves and Sean Couturier had two assists.

Chicago's Ryan Donato scored to end an 11-game drought. Spencer Knight stopped 23 shots for the Blackhawks, who've dropped eight of nine and have just three wins in their last 17.

Chicago played tight hockey in its fifth game without leading-scorer Connor Bedard. He's out until at least early January with a shoulder injury.

The Blackhawks also were without center Frank Nazar, sidelined for four weeks after being struck in the face with a shot Saturday at Ottawa. Captain Nick Foligno remains out with a hand injury.

Konecny opened the scoring at 10:17 of the first, 18 seconds after the Flyers killed a penalty to Zegras. Konecny drove down the right side of the slot and tapped in Zegras' pinpoint cross-ice feed for his 11th goal.

OILERS 5, FLAMES 1

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Connor McDavid had five assists, Leon Draisaitl scored three goals and Edmonton kept rolling into the holiday hiatus with a victory over rival Calgary.

Mackenzie Weegar scored for the Flames (15-18-4), who won their previous two.

Connor Ingram, making a second consecutive NHL start for the first time since early February with Utah, stopped 18 shots to improve to 2-0-0 with the Oilers.

Dustin Wolf made 34 saves in the loss.

McDavid extended his point streak to 11 games, with 12 goals and 19 assists during that stretch. It was the 45th time he's had at least four points in a game, tying Jari Kurri for second in Oilers history.

GOLDEN KNIGHTS 7, SHARKS 2

The five-goal first tied the Golden Knights' franchise record for a period, accomplished four times previously. Vegas had 13 players record at least a point in the period,breaking the previous mark of 11accomplished three times.

Kevin Fiala and Andrei Kuzmenko scored as the Kings were held to fewer than three goals for the seventh straight game. Pheonix Copley made 25 saves.

Seattle had struggled in the second game of back-to-backs, but reeling Los Angeles was a welcome panacea. Eberle got the Kraken's fifth power-play goal in six games when he beat Copley over the goalie's left shoulder from close range early in the second period.

Former Vice PresidentKamala Harrissuggested that it is sexist to mock her distinctive cackle.

Harris made the comment during a recent appearance on the "Rich Little Broke Girls" podcast, when she recalled a reporter asking her about criticisms of lacking humility.

"I don't aspire to be humble. Humility, yes, is very important. [It's] a very dated perspective on who women should be. To say, women should be humble. Women should be quiet. Women should laugh quietly," Harris said.

"Women should not have a sense of humor. Women should not raise their voice," she continued. "I have never felt burdened by those very dated, and I think out-of-touch standards."

The former vice president has previously argued that sexism was to blame for criticism of her cackle, including during an April 2024 interview with talk-show hostDrew Barrymore.

"Like, apparently, some people love to talk about the way I laugh," Harris said at the time.

"Well, let me just tell you something: I have my mother's laugh," she continued. "And I grew up around a bunch of women, in particular, who laughed from the belly."

"Choose to be with someone who allows you to laugh at yourself and them," she said. "Choose to be with someone who you know you like, going to the grocery store together, taking a walk together."

"There are different phases in your life and you may not know what phase you're in," Harris added. "Maybe you're going to choose that you want to have that kind of Friday night relationship — or you want that Sunday morning relationship. Sometimes you can get both — and sometimes they just are oil and water. And that's okay! Be in those phases where you are having fun!"

"We've talked about it. If we had met in our 20s, I don't know that we would have really been in the same place," she added.

Harris' office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

AsPrince HarryandMeghan Markleunveiled their official2025 holiday card, offering a rare glimpse of their two children, the internet wasted no time tearing it apart over certain suspicious details.

Shared on December 19 on the Duchess of Sussex's Instagram account as part of the couple's annual festive tradition, the image quickly sparkedbacklash.

Critics accused them of yet anotherphotoshopping mishapand blasted Meghan's "questionable" outfit choice in the image.

"This is not just a fake. It's a really bad fake," one furious netizen wrote.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Christmas Card With Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Slammed Over Possible Photoshop Fail

Image credits:Joe Scarnici/Getty Images

Sharing annual Christmas cards has been a tradition for the Sussexes since their 2018 wedding, with the couple releasing one each holiday season without fail.

In the festive photo, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stood on a whimsical wooden bridge surrounded by greenery, with a narrow stream flowing beneath it.

They were joined by their two children, with everyone dressed in coordinated shades of white, except for Princess Lilibet, who wore a pale blue knee-length dress.

Prince Harry embraced Prince Archie, while Markle held her daughter's hands, touching her forehead to the four-year-old's in an affectionate moment.

The former actress captioned the post, "Happy Holidays! From our family to yours."

As soon as the image was shared on social media, users beganquestioning its authenticityafter noticing a distortion around Prince Harry's head.

Image credits:meghan

Many pointed out what appeared to be a smudge near his head, while others claimed that a portion of the 41-year-old's hair seemed to be missing.

One netizen wrote, "What happened with the editing? The back of Harry's head is missing above the hairline."

Another added, "Right away you can see all the Photoshop mistakes… I may be wrong, but this photo doesn't look right to me."

Critics claimed that a chunk of Prince Harry's head appeared to be missing, while the 44-year-old actress was slammed for wearing an "awful" sheer dress

Others pointed out what they described as the "unnaturally" long feet of both the Duke of Sussex and four-year-old Lilibet, arguing that her proportions appeared inconsistent, especially given that she is younger than six-year-old Archie, who seemed to have shorter feet.

Summing up the speculation in a Reddit thread, one critic wrote, "Archie's also much smaller than lilibet despite being literally inches away. Meghan's forehead has a weird curvature that isn't in any of her other pics and lili isnot dressed to match anybodyin the photo."

Image credits:meghan

According to the commenter, "harry and archie are not in the pic, they are photoshopped in. Meghan possibly photoshopped herself with lili."

Another point of contention was theSuitsalum's slightly sheer ivory dress, which revealed the outline of her back and legs, something several critics deemed "unattractive" and inappropriate for a Christmas card.

"Awful dress. Not only was the picture taken with her see-through dress, she [also] chose this picture as her Christmas card," one critic wrote.

Image credits:meghan

While the couple has not addressed the latest wave of photoshopping accusations, it certainly isn't the first time they have faced such claims.

Earlier this year, in May, to mark the seventh anniversary of their 2018 wedding at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, Markle shared an Instagram post that once again landed her in the midst of photoshop allegations.

"The harder they try to make themselves appear natural, the more they fail," one critic reacted after noticing certain "fake" details in the image

Image credits:meghan

Inone of the imagesfrom the post, Meghan and Harry were seen facing each other with their noses touching.

However, viewers suggested that the moment was not genuine and had instead been edited into a single image using two separate photos taken during their 2018 tour of New Zealand.

During that visit, the pair performed the hongi, a traditional Māori greeting in which two people press their noses and foreheads together, which critics believe was used to create the anniversary image.

Image credits:The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan Duke & Duchess of Sussex

Moreover, last year's Christmas card from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also sparked speculation that the image may have been artificially created.

Their 2024 Christmas card featured a collage of six photographs, including one imageshowing the entire family togetherin a park setting.

However, upon closer inspection, viewers claimed to spot several apparent inconsistencies in the image, such as Prince Harry appearing to have six fingers on one hand, dogs that seemed "digitally positioned," and Princess Lilibet looking roughly the "same height as her brother."

Image credits:Dan Wootton Outspoken

One observer commented at the time, "Look at this dodgy digitally altered photo Harry and Meghan have released for Christmas! The shadows are all wrong, you can see the digitally altered outline around Meghan and the dogs have been superimposed."

"Also, are we supposed to believe Lilibet is around six or seven years old or what?!"

Over the years, the couple has faced multiple photoshop accusations, at times even drawing comparisons to Princess Kate Middleton's own editing backlash

Image credits:The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan Duke & Duchess of Sussex

As Harry and Meghan's 2025 card was dragged online, netizens also resurfaced past controversies, speculating that this latest "terrible Photoshop" may have been intentional, aimed at stirring a reaction similar to Catherine's Mother's Day editing scandal.

For those unaware, in March last year, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, Meghan's sister-in-law, sparked backlash after sharing a digitallyaltered Mother's Day photofeaturing her three children.

Image credits:meghan

The controversy escalated when major news agencies, including the Associated Press (AP), Getty Images, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse (AFP), withdrew the image from their archives over concerns about photo manipulation.

Kate later addressed the situation herself, confirming that the image had been an "experiment with editing" in anapology shared on her Xaccount days later.

"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused."

"Meghan photoshops because no one will pose in a photo with her. She has been doing it since at least her suits days," one netizen harshly claimed

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea's liberal-led legislature on Wednesday passed a bill allowing heavy punitive damages against traditional news and internet media for publishing "false or fabricated information," brushing aside concerns the legislation could lead to greater censorship.

Journalist groups and civil liberty advocates urged PresidentLee Jae Myungto veto the bill pushed by his Democratic Party. They say the wording is vague about what information would be banned and lacks sufficient protections for the press, potentially discouraging critical reporting on public officials, politicians and big businesses.

The Democrats, who have failed to pass similar legislation under past governments, say the law is needed to counter a growing threat offake news and disinformationthat they argue undermine democracy by fueling divisions and hate speech.

The bill would allow courts to award punitive damages of up to five times the proven losses against news organizations and large YouTube channels that disseminate "illegal information or false, fabricated information" to cause harm or seek profit.

The bill also would allow damages of up to 50 million won ($34,200) for losses that are difficult to quantify in court. The country's media regulator would be able to fine outlets up to 1 billion won ($684,000) for distributing information a court confirms to be false or manipulated more than twice.

The bill passed the National Assembly by a vote of 170-3 with four abstentions after many lawmakers from the main conservative opposition People Power Party boycotted the vote. The vote was delayed after a 24-hour filibuster by PPP, during which lawmakers from both parties debated the bill.

PPP lawmaker Choi Soo-jin said during the filibuster that the bill fails to define the degree of inaccuracy for information to be banned, warning it could be broadly applied to content containing minor errors or general claims and used as a tool to silence critics with the threat of lawsuits.

The Democrats argue punitive damages would apply only when there is clarity that false information has been deliberately spread for harmful or profit-seeking purposes and causes actual damage, while routine allegations or claims would not be penalized.

They note the law prohibits filing damage claims with the purpose of "obstructing just criticism or oversight conducted in the public interest," although legal experts and journalist groups have criticized the provision as vague and unrealistic.

"What the law targets is not (legitimate) criticism but the malicious and deliberate dissemination of false information," Democratic Party spokesperson Park Soo-hyun said. "(The bill) is based on the requirement of intent and also exempts satire and parody, clearly distinguishing (what should be respected as) freedom of expression."

The National Union of Media Workers urged Lee's government and the Democrats to address concerns that regulating false or manipulated information by law could infringe on freedom of expression and expose media companies to abusive lawsuits, chilling scrutiny of those in power.

"We urge (them) to clearly reaffirm that the law would target only a tiny portion (of content) that's 'false or fabricated information' and to carefully review the bill to eliminate any potential infringement on freedom of the press and of expression," the group said in a statement. "We call on them to carefully define the law's scope when drafting (the law's) enforcement ordinance."
