His first goal was largely due to the play made by Jesper Bratt carrying the puck after Seattle was unable to clear its defensive zone. Bratt circled behind the net and allowed Nemec to slide unmarked into the slot, where he beat Philipp Grubauer into an open side.It was Bratt’s 19th assist of the season.Ondrej Palat scored his fourth goal late in the first period to give New Jersey the early lead. Schmid rebounded nicely after giving up five goals on 17 shots in his previous game against San Jose.Schmid was peppered for a big chunk of the third and came up with several big stops.

(CNN) — Hasta la fecha se han desenterrado en Egipto decenas de millones de momias de animales. Pero si bien hay millones de gatos, perros, ibis y aves rapaces momificados, las momias de primates son raras y poco comprendidas.Ahora, un nuevo análisis de babuinos momificados está arrojando luz sobre el lugar que ocupaban los animales en el antiguo Egipto, revelando que, si bien eran apreciados como animales sagrados, sus condiciones de vida no eran ideales.Los investigadores analizaron huesos de babuinos momificados, que fueron descubiertos a principios del siglo XX en la necrópolis Gabbanat el-Qurud, en el llamado Valle de los Monos, al suroeste del Valle de los Reyes de Egipto. Los huesos pertenecían a docenas de babuinos individuales, desde bebés hasta adultos, de dos especies: el babuino hamadryas (Papio hamadryas) y el babuino oliva (Papio anubis).Estas especies no eran nativas de Egipto, sino que fueron importadas de dos regiones: “el babuino olivo del sur (actual Sudán) ...Sloppy Steelers’ playoff hopes take another hit with loss to Patriots
