SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — A goalie fight broke out with 14 minutes left in a game Monday night between the Florida Panthers and San Jose Sharks that had gotten increasingly chippy with post-whistle pushing and shoving.
Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky beelined from his crease to even things up after San Jose’s Alex Nedeljkovic got involved in a scrum in the corner.
Panthers fans chanted, “Bobby! Bobby!” after the two netminders were done tussling. Cheers followed when Bobrovsky returned from a brief trip to the locker room.
Bobrovsky and Nedeljkovic each got a 5-minute major penalty for fighting and an additional 2-minute penalty for leaving the crease to take part in an altercation. They stayed in the game.
The goalie nicknamed “Bob” has backstopped the NHL’s southernmost team to consecutive Stanley Cup championships.

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market is bouncing back from its worst day since October, though some signs of fear remain on Wall Street Wednesday about President Donald Trump’s desire to take Greenland.
The S&P 500 rallied 1.1% after Trump said in a speech before business and government leaders in Europe that he would not use force to take “the piece of ice.” The potential de-escalation in rhetoric around Greenland helped the index recover some of its 2.1% drop from the day before and pull closer to its all-time high set earlier this month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 477 points, or 1%, as of 11 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.3% higher.
Treasury yields also eased in the bond market, a day after jumping in a potential signal of worries about higher inflation in the long term. They got help from a calming of government bond yields in Japan, which had surged earlier because of concerns about how much the world's third-largest economy may increase its debt. The value of the U.S. dollar also held steadier against the euro, Swiss franc and other currencies after sliding the day before.
But some nerves seemed to remain in the market, and the price of gold rose another 1.6% and topped $4,800 per ounce for the first time.
Trump himself acknowledged how his desire for Greenland led to Tuesday’s drop in the U.S. stock market, but he called it “peanuts compared to what it’s gone up” in the first year of his second term and said it would go up more in the future. While saying he would not use force to take Greenland, he called for “immediate negotiations” for the United States to acquire it from Denmark.
Trump has a history of making big threats that send financial markets sliding, only to pull back later and reach deals that are seen as less bad for the economy than his initial suggestion.
On one hand, the pattern has given rise to the “TACO” acronym suggesting "Trump Always Chickens Out" if financial markets react strongly enough. On the other, Trump's tactics have ultimately led to deals that outsiders earlier may have considered unlikely, ones that he's crowed about later. The most obvious example is Trump's announcement of high tariffs on “Liberation Day,” which eventually led to trade deals with many of the world's major economies.
Helping to lead the U.S. stock market Wednesday was Halliburton, which rose 3.4% after the oilfield services company reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected.
United Airlines climbed 2.7% after likewise reporting a better profit for the end of 2025 than expected. CEO Scott Kirby said that the airline’s strong momentum in revenue is continuing into 2026.
They helped offset a 4.1% drop for Netflix. The streamer sank even though it reported a stronger profit than expected as investors focused instead on its slowing subscriber growth.
Kraft Heinz sank 4.7% after Berkshire Hathaway warned investors Tuesday that it may be interested in selling its 325 million shares in the food giant that former CEO Warren Buffett helped create in 2015.
Berkshire took a $3.76 billion write-down on its Kraft-Heinz stake last summer. Buffett said last fall that he was disappointed in Kraft Heinz’ plan to split the company in two, and Berkshire’s two representatives resigned from the Kraft board last spring.
In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.27% from 4.30% late Tuesday. But it's still above the 4.24% level where it was at on Friday, before Trump said he will impose 10% tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland beginning in February. That would be on top of a 15% tariff specified by a trade agreement with the European Union that has yet to be ratified.
In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in mostly modest movements across Europe and Asia.
Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.4%.
The country's prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, has called a snap election for Feb. 8, which sent yields of long-term government bonds to record levels. The expectation is that Takaichi, who is capitalizing on strong public support ratings, will cut taxes and boost spending and increase the government's already heavy load of debt.
The yield on the 40-year Japanese government bond pulled back to 4.05% Wednesday, down from the 4.22% level that it had surged to on Tuesday.
