Suspect arrested in death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson

Authorities in the U.K. have arrested a suspect in connection with the death of former NHL athlete Adam Johnson, who died last month after his neck was slashed by the skate of a rival athlete.

On two separate occasions in Game 6—in the ninth inning and then again in the 10th—the Rangers needed just one more strike to claim a championship over the St. Louis Cardinals.
