SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Marchand scored in the fourth round of the shootout in his return to Florida's lineup after missing two games to give the Panthers a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins, his former team, on Wednesday night.

Anton Lundell had a goal and two assists for his second three-point game of the season, while Matthew Tkachuk and Uvis Balinskis had a goal and an assist each as the Panthers ended a four-game losing streak. Sergei Bobrovsky made 25 saves.

Michael Eyssimont scored twice for the Bruins, who have lost two straight games in Florida in a shootout, including Sunday's NHL Stadium Series gameagainst the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Mark Kastelic and Casey Mittelstadt also had goals and Joonas Korpisalo had 22 saves.

The Panthers trailed 2-1 after the first period despite taking the lead on a goal from Eetu Luostarinen at 4:22.

Eyssimont scored a pair of goals on breakaways — including one when he came racing out of the penalty box and got Bobrovsky to go down, leaving the net open enough for him to be able to tuck the puck in.

Florida scored three goals on special teams in the second, two on the power play and one short-handed.

Balinskis tied the score 30 seconds into the period. Tkachuk made it 3-2 at 2:22 on a power-play goal and the Panthers made it 4-2 with 1:27 remaining in the second, Sam Reinhart feeding Lundell off the rush while Florida was killing off a penalty.

Boston pulled within one at 4-3 in third on Kastelic's goal and tied it when Mittelstadt collected a rebound off a David Pastrnak shot and lifted the puck over Bobrovsky with 9:30 remaining while on the power play.

Boston went 1 for 7 on the power play.

Bruins: Host Columbus on Feb. 26.

Panthers: Visit Tampa Bay on Thursday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are indeed headed back to the White House after their second straight World Series win.

The Athletic's Fabian Ardayaandthe California Post's Jack Harris and Zain Khanreport the Dodgers are expected to make the trip despitecalls to cancel it in light of the Trump administration's immigration policies, with the former outlet citing a league source and the latter citing the White House. The Dodgers declined comment to both outlets.

No date is reported to be set, but teams typically visit the White House during their regular-season road series against the Washington Nationals. This year, that series is April 3-5 for the Dodgers.

President Donald Trump posted an invitation to the Dodgers on social media shortly after their dramatic win in Game 7:

"Congratulations to the L.A. Dodgers, a game won by incredible CHAMPIONS!!! A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6, for that matter. So many stars made it all happen. Also, congratulations to ownership. What a great job they have done. SEE YOU ALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!"

Any indication of the team's plans to accept that offer were slow to come before Wednesday, withDodgers president Stan Kasten telling the Los Angeles Times last weekend he didn't have any updates on the matter.

While there was a backlash to attending the Trump White House last year,the team still put on a united front and had no notable holdoutsdespite past comments and actions, such as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts saying he would have skipped a visit in 2019 and Mookie Betts skipping a visit with the Boston Red Sox after 2018.

Kasten claimed "all" the players wanted to go in 2025, though at least one player wasn't too enthusiastic. Kiké Hernández,a Puerto Rican fan favorite who has criticized Trump in the past, described it as "kind of a lose-lose situation for me" incomments to radio reporter Dave Vassegh.

Like he did in 2025, Roberts painted a possible trip as respecting the office of the president in comments to the Times last weekend:

"For me, I stand by: I'm a baseball manager," Roberts told me [the L.A. Times' Bill Shaikin] Saturday at the Dodgers' fan festival. "That's my job.

"I was raised — by a man who served our country for 30 years — to respect the highest office in our country. For me, it doesn't matter who is in the office, I'm going to go to the White House. I've never tried to be political. ... For me, I am going to continue to try to do what tradition says and not try to make political statements, because I am not a politician."

Not everything is the same around the White House this time, though. There was certainly some tension in Los Angeles in 2025 over Trump's response to the wildfires that ravaged part of the city, but the president's approval ratinghas reached a new low recentlyin the wake of, among other things, ICE's deadly actions in Minnesota — not to mention its continued presence in Los Angeles and other communities — and lingering questions about the Epstein files.

The Dodgers have apparently still opted to proceed like last year, but it remains to be seen if they present the same united front.

Jalen Brunson scored the first six points of the decisive run in the second overtime Wednesday night for the host New York Knicks, who earned their eighth straight win by outlasting the Denver Nuggets 134-127.

Brunson outscored the Nuggets 10-8 in the second overtime and finished with 42 points, nine assists and eight rebounds as the Knicks continued their longest winning streak since a nine-game run from Dec. 15, 2024 through Jan. 1, 2025.

Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points, 12 rebounds) had a double-double despite missing most of the second quarter with a cut around his right eye following a collision with the Nuggets' Spencer Jones.

OG Anunoby had 20 points while Landry Shamet added 16 points off the bench. Starter Jordan Clarkson (11 points) and reserve Mitchell Robinson (10 points) also got into double figures.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic (30 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists) tied Oscar Robertson for second place all time with his 181st regular-season triple-double, but he shot a career-worst 1-for-13 from 3-point land and just 37% (10-of-27) overall.

Jamal Murray had 39 points as the Nuggets suffered their season-high third straight loss. Tim Hardaway Jr. (19 points), Julian Strawther (11 points) and Bruce Brown (10 points) all scored in double digits off the bench for Denver, which also received 10 points from Peyton Watson.

Jones didn't play after the first quarter.

Brunson's big overtime capped a wild game between a pair of NBA title contenders playing the second game of a back-to-back. There were 20 lead changes and 19 ties and neither team led by more than nine points.

Jokic had a game-winning 3-pointer at the regulation buzzer bounce off the back of the rim. The Knicks appeared to clinch a 119-117 win when Murray missed a 3-pointer just before the overtime buzzer, but Mikal Bridges fouled Christian Braun away from the ball with 0.3 seconds left and Braun drained the free throws - his only free-throw attempts of the game.

A dunk by Murray of a Brunson steal opened the second overtime, but Brunson hit a bank shot before putting the Knicks ahead for good by splitting a pair of free throws with 3:39 left. He then drained a 3-pointer following an errant 3-pointer by Jokic.

Bridges' lone 3-pointer gave the Knicks a 130-123 lead with 1:25 remaining, after which Jokic went 1-of-3 from the free-throw line and Hardaway hit a 3-pointer. Brunson hit a floater and then iced the win with a pair of free throws following another missed 3-pointer by Jokic.

SPARTANBURG, South Carolina/CHICAGO, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Measles vaccinations have doubled in recent months in a South Carolina region hit hard by the disease's worst outbreak in the U.S. in more than two decades, but health ​officials warned that far more immunizations are needed to contain the virus' spread.

The outbreak, like those in other regions, has been ‌fueled by a rise in vaccine hesitancy since the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving many U.S. communities vulnerable to outbreaks of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases.

The number of measles, mumps and ‌rubella (MMR) vaccine doses administered in Spartanburg County, near the North Carolina border and the epicenter of the latest outbreak, has increased 102% over the past four months compared with the same period a year earlier, according to state data shared with Reuters. More than 1,000 additional shots were delivered in January.

Statewide, MMR immunizations were up 28% during the same four-month period.

"These monthly totals are some of the highest we've seen in years," Dr. Linda Bell, ⁠South Carolina's state epidemiologist, said in emailed comments ‌to Reuters.

She said 1,178 doses of MMR vaccines were given to infants aged six to 11 months across the state. Of those, 55% were in Spartanburg County and neighboring Greenville County.

"These early doses are essential to protecting ‍young children from measles," she said.

Bell said there are likely a few thousand children and adults, however, who remain unvaccinated against measles in Spartanburg County.

HERD IMMUNITY REQUIRES 95% COVERAGE

Measles, among the most infectious of pathogens, requires that 95% of the population be vaccinated in order to prevent its spread. In Spartanburg County, 89% of ​school children have received the required vaccinations, state data show.

Three pediatricians in the Spartanburg area told Reuters the increase in vaccinations likely ‌reflected a variety of patients and motives.

Many parents have sought early MMR shots for children who are six to 11 months old rather than waiting for the first dose normally given at 12 months, doctors said. Parents also have moved up the second dose, which is normally given at age four. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective after two doses.

They added that some families are catching up on routine shots that were missed prior to the outbreak, while other patients may be seeking vaccination after exposure, which can exempt them from quarantine if administered within 72 ⁠hours.

Louis Eubank, deputy incident commander for South Carolina's measles response, said in an ​email that mobile health units have primarily vaccinated adults, while increases reported by clinics and ​pharmacies have predominantly been among children under the age of four.

Reaching people who are hesitant about all vaccines, however, and persuading them to come in for the MMR shot has proven difficult, the pediatricians said.

Stuart Simko, a pediatrician ‍at Prisma Health in Greer, South ⁠Carolina, in the state's northwest corner, said the escalation in cases and increased exposure at schools and in the community had recently encouraged more parents to get their children immunized.

"We are getting people who weren't vaccinated calling. I think we've reached that level of, 'Oh ⁠wow. This looks like it's more than just a smolder. This is starting to catch fire,'" Simko said.

"That fear is starting to pick up among people of going ‌out and understanding you can go to Walmart and be exposed."
