TAMPA — One violent outburst from a Colorado Avalanche player with his stick wasn’t enough. It was that kind of night on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The Avalanche hoped to cap off a perfect four-game road trip. It had to settle for a successful one, albeit with an embarrassing finale, instead. Tampa Bay outclassed Colorado in every phase Monday night en route to a 8-2 washout at Amalie Arena. “I thought we had a great road trip.

By Khushbu Shah, The New York Times Justin Pichetrungsi is having lasagna this Thanksgiving, carrying on a tradition his parents started. But he’ll be making his from scratch. Thanksgiving was a rare day off for his parents, who ran a Thai restaurant, and they weren’t really turkey people. For the holiday, they often bought lasagna from the nearby Costco and served it with the store’s bagged Caesar salad tossed with its packaged Chinese chicken salad dressing.

By JAIMIE DING LOS ANGELES — A judge on Monday delayed until January his decision on whether to resentence Erik and Lyle Menendez for killing their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion 35 years ago, squashing their family’s hope the brothers would be released and home for the holidays. Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic said at the hearing in Los Angeles that he needed time to review 17 boxes of documents and give a new district attorney in Los Angeles County time to weigh in on the case. “I’m not ready to go forward,” Jesic said, setting the hearing for the resentencing request for Jan.

LAHAINA, Hawaii — The mid-term exam isn’t complete. But in the first phase of the Colorado men’s basketball team testing itself against college basketball’s elite, the Buffaloes struggled. And the test is about to get even more difficult. The Buffs opened play in the Maui Invitational on Monday and were handed a harsh reality check by Michigan State, which got to the rim at will and out-toughed CU inside while handing the Buffs their first loss of the season, 72-56, at the Lahaina Civic Center. CU will have to regroup in a hurry, as it continues play in the tournament on Tuesday against second-ranked, two-time defending champion UConn, which was upset in overtime by Memphis in Monday’s opening game. Last week, Boyle described the three-game Maui trip as a “mid-term” exam for his club.

By JILL COLVIN and ROB GILLIES NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office as part of his effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China, as one of his first executive orders. The tariffs, if implemented, could dramatically raise prices for American consumers on everything from gas to automobiles to agricultural products.

As the Broncos’ offensive menu continues to expand, Devaughn Vele is becoming one of the foremost beneficiaries. The rookie wide receiver is lining up all over the field, playing different spots and making an impact in several different ways. The seventh-round draft pick already had three catches in the first half of Denver’s 29-19 win at Las Vegas when head coach Sean Payton put him alone on the backside of a unique, 4-by-1 formation. The Broncos had Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin aligned into the boundary with running back Javonte Williams and jumbo tight end Matt Peart as an eligible receiver all to quarterback Bo Nix’s right. Vele pushed vertically up the field, gave a head-fake inside that kept cornerback Decamerion Richardson on his heels and then eventually snapped off his route to the inside.
