Elderly deaths: Call for generators in Florida nursing homes
FILE - In this Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017 file photo, a woman is transported from The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills as patients are evacuated after a loss of air conditioning due to Hurricane Irma in Hollywood, Fla. After 11 nursing home residents died in the sweltering heat of hurricane-induced power outages, Florida's nursing home industry is now on a collision course with Gov. Rick Scott. Days after Hurricane Irma ravaged the state, Scott used his emergency powers to put in place new rules that require nursing homes and assisted living facilities to have generators capable of providing backup power for four days. The Republican governor, who normally brags about eliminating regulations on businesses, gave nursing homes 60 days to comply. Nursing home officials say they can't.

First-timers and familiar faces hop on NHL's coaching carousel
Vegas Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant stands behind players Paul Thompson, from left, William Carrier and Stefan Matteau during the second period of a preseason NHL hockey game against the Vancouver Canucks in Vancouver on September 17, 2017. Seven NHL teams hired new coaches this off-season, including the first head coach in the history of the league's 31st franchise, the Vegas Golden Knights. Gallant has perhaps the most unique challenge of the new coaching hires: run an expansion franchise that's presently low on talent. The Knights are stacked with picks and prospects for down the line, but for now, Gallant gets to construct a culture and style from scratch. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck
Are rewards in the cards for Dallas, the NHL's biggest off-season gambler?
Dallas Stars newly hired NHL hockey team head coach Ken Hitchcock, center, poses for photos with team general manager Jim Nill, right, and president Jim Lites during a news conference in Dallas on April 13, 2017. The cards began stacking against the Dallas Stars before the 2016-17 season even got underway. Team captain Jamie Benn got hurt late in the off-season, Tyler Seguin went down a few weeks later, and things only got worse from there as the Stars ended up with their worst season in more than 20 years. General manager Jim Nill got busy in the off-season, almost surprisingly so. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP, LM Otero
