Caufield scores his 2nd goal of the game in OT, gives Canadiens a 5-4 win over the Kraken

MONTREAL (AP) — Cole Caufield scored his second goal of the game at 3:25 of overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 5-4 win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night.

Canadiens rookie standout Ivan Demidov tied the game with less than three minutes left in the third period, forcing OT.

Alex Newhook and Kirby Dach also scored for Montreal. Samuel Montembeault made 18 saves as the Canadiens ran their winning streak to three games in the opener of a four-game homestand.

Caufield scored in a fourth straight Canadiens home opener. Newhook scored his first goal of the season in his 300th career NHL game. The goal was assisted by defenseman Alexandre Carrier, who played in his 300th game.

Jaden Schwartz, Jani Nyman, Jamie Oleksiak and Jared McCann scored for the Kraken, who dropped their first game of the season and the opener of a six-game trip. Joey Daccord stopped 17 shots.

McCann scored in his third straight game to start the season and also had an assist.

The Canadiens exacted a bit of revenge on Seattle, which swept the two-game season series last year, including an 8-2 drubbing on home ice last October.

The Canadiens win was the culmination of a night filled with celebrations surrounding Montreal’s home opener. Ceremonies before the game were highlighted by lengthy ovations for Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis, Demidov, and reigning Calder Trophy winner Lane Hutson, who signed an eight-year, $70.8 million contract extension on Monday.

LONDON (AP) — The new head of the MI6 spy agency is set to warn on Monday of how Russian President Vladimir Putin’s determination to export chaos around the world is rewriting the rules of conflict and creating new security challenges.

Blaise Metreweli will use her first public speech as chief of the United Kingdom’s foreign intelligence service to say that Britain faces increasingly unpredictable and interconnected threats, with emphasis on “aggressive, expansionist” Russia.

“The export of chaos is a feature not a bug in the Russian approach to international engagement, and we should be ready for this to continue until Putin is forced to change his calculus,” she will say, according to extracts released by the Foreign Office, which oversees MI6.

The MI6 chief, known as C, is the only employee of the secretive agency whose name is made public. Metreweli, who took over from Richard Moore at the end of September, was previously the MI6 director of technology and innovation — the real-world equivalent of the fictional James Bond gadget-master Q.

She plans to say that technological savvy and human intelligence are both key to combating hybrid threats, and MI6 officers “must be as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple languages.”

The speech is the latest in a series of warnings by Western defense and security authorities about the growing hybrid threat from states such as Russia, Iran and China, whose use of cyber tools, espionage and influence operations they say threatens global stability.

Last week, the U.K. imposed sanctions on several Russian media outlets for alleged information warfare and two Chinese tech firms for “vast and indiscriminate cyber-activities.”

Metreweli is the first woman to hold the post since MI6 was founded in 1909.

Britain’s two other main intelligence agencies have already shattered the spy world’s glass ceiling. MI5, the domestic security service, was led by Stella Rimington from 1992 to 1996 and Eliza Manningham-Buller between 2002 and 2007. Anne Keast-Butler became head of the electronic and cyberintelligence agency GCHQ in 2023.
