OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Drake Batherson and Tim Stutzle each recorded two goals and an assist to lead the Ottawa Senators to a commanding 7-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Monday night. The win marked Ottawa’s third straight triumph.
Claude Giroux, Nick Cousins, and Fabian Zetterlund also contributed goals for the Senators, while goaltender Leevi Merilainen made 26 saves. The 23-year-old goalie showed significant improvement after allowing seven goals in his only other start this season against the Buffalo Sabres on October 15.
The Bruins got on the board first with Morgan Geekie scoring on Boston’s opening shot, capitalizing on a defensive-zone turnover by Ottawa. However, that early goal was all the Bruins could manage offensively until the final seconds of the game when Viktor Arvidsson scored with less than 10 seconds remaining.
Boston’s Jeremy Swayman made 17 saves but the team remains in last place in the Atlantic Division.
Batherson’s first goal of the night came on the power play and tied the game 1-1 at the midpoint of the opening period. Notably, Monday marked the first time since February 2023 that the Senators have scored more than six goals in back-to-back games, having put up seven goals against the Washington Capitals on Saturday.
In an unusual but spirited moment, the Senators played the World Series game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers with full broadcast audio during the first and second intermissions. Most fans stayed in their seats, giving hearty roars that are rarely heard from a Toronto team visiting the nation’s capital.
Up next:
– Bruins: Host the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
– Senators: Visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.

MOSCOW (AP) — North Korea’s top diplomat visited the Kremlin on Monday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, following last month’s meeting between the two countries’ leaders. This visit highlighted a show of deepening ties, coming as U.S. President Donald Trump visits Asia.
In a separate meeting with her Russian counterpart, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui confirmed North Korea’s “unwavering understanding and support” for Putin’s war against Ukraine, North Korean state media reported Tuesday.
In recent months, North Korea has sent thousands of troops and large quantities of military equipment to Russia to support its war effort. This growing alignment underscores leader Kim Jong Un’s increasingly assertive foreign policy as he seeks to break out of isolation and position his country as part of a united front against the U.S.-led West.
North Korea has shunned any form of talks with Washington and Seoul since Kim’s high-stakes nuclear diplomacy with Trump collapsed in 2019 during the American president’s first term.
Putin and Kim met in Beijing last September after attending a major military parade in the Chinese capital, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. During Monday’s talks, Putin asked North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui to convey his best wishes to Kim, noting that they had a very warm meeting, according to his televised remarks.
Before attending the Kremlin meeting with Putin, Choe held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Lavrov once again praised North Korean troops for fighting alongside the Russian military in the Kursk region after a surprise Ukrainian incursion.
“These heroic deeds will, of course, further strengthen the bonds of friendship and historical unity in our shared struggle for justice,” Lavrov said.
Choe noted “considerable progress” in relations between North Korea and Russia and confirmed Pyongyang’s support for “all measures” taken by Russia to defend its security interests and “eliminate the root cause” of its conflict with Ukraine, according to Russian and North Korean media reports.
North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) stated that Russian officials expressed Moscow’s support for all of Pyongyang’s efforts to “firmly defend its current status, security interests, and sovereign rights” during their meeting with Choe.
The two sides discussed expanding high-level exchanges and cooperation, as well as coordinating their diplomacy on unspecified “major issues of mutual concern,” KCNA said.
According to South Korean assessments, North Korea has sent around 15,000 troops to Russia since last fall, along with large quantities of military equipment, including artillery and ballistic missiles, to support Moscow’s military action in Ukraine. Kim has also agreed to send thousands of military construction workers and deminers to Russia’s Kursk region.
Since the collapse of his diplomacy with Trump in 2019 due to disagreements over U.S.-led economic sanctions, Kim has focused on expanding the capabilities of his nuclear-armed military.
Last month, Kim suggested he could return to talks if Washington drops its demand for North Korea’s denuclearization, after Trump repeatedly expressed hopes for new diplomacy.

**Argentines Turn to Dollar Stablecoins Amid Midterm Election Turmoil**
On Sunday, as Argentina headed into crucial midterm elections, locals swapped their unstable pesos for U.S. dollar stablecoins, anticipating a sharp decline in the Argentine peso (ARS). The election, seen as a make-or-break moment for President Javier Milei, unfolded amid his declining approval ratings linked to corruption scandals and controversial economic plans.
### Surge in Stablecoin Usage During Elections
As election results became clearer, a Latin American crypto app recorded its highest-ever trading volume in a single hour, coinciding with the peso strengthening against the dollar. Facundo Werning, LATAM head for stablecoin issuer Agora and former Tether expansion manager for Argentina, revealed to Decrypt that there was a “notable increase in volume across the USD stablecoin to [Argentine peso] trading pair,” estimating a conservative $13.4 million in trading volume on Sunday alone.
Similarly, the South American crypto app Lemon experienced its third-highest single-day volume ever, including the highest hourly volume at 9 p.m. local time, when election outcomes were officially announced.
### Peso Volatility and Market Reactions
The Argentine peso is notoriously unstable. Just days before the election, it hit a record low of 1,491.50 pesos per U.S. dollar on Friday, according to Reuters, despite a $40 billion bailout package from former U.S. President Donald Trump. However, many Argentines believed the peso would have plummeted even further if Milei’s right-wing party, La Libertad Avanza (LLA), had not secured the most seats.
Milei remains a divisive figure in Argentina due to his radical economic proposals and connections to corruption scandals, including involvement with the notorious LIBRA meme coin. His dwindling approval rating made this election critical both for his political future and the nation’s economic outlook.
### Public Sentiment Reflects Market Behavior
Santiago Vivanco, an Argentine finance professional, told Decrypt that no one he knows entered the election holding large amounts of Argentine pesos. Meanwhile, betting markets, like Polymarket, showed the left-wing party Unión por la Patria peaking at a 55% chance of winning the most seats.
Vivanco anticipated a peso crash if Unión por la Patria prevailed, attributing this to their left-wing economic policies, which he believed would harm the peso’s value. Former President Trump also publicly stated that the U.S. would not “waste our time” supporting Argentina if Milei lost, amplifying concerns.
As a result, many citizens bought USD stablecoins over the weekend to hedge against a potential peso collapse.
### The Crypto Dollar as a Real-Time Economic Indicator
Exchange rates in Argentina are complex. One key difference between official bank rates, unofficial street rates, and crypto dollar rates is that crypto markets operate 24/7. While banks and street exchanges close during off-hours, especially on weekends, crypto dollars never stop trading.
This continuous operation turned the “crypto dollar” into more than just a savings tool. A Lemon spokesperson told Decrypt, “It became a real-time thermometer of Argentina’s economic and political pulse when the traditional market is offline.”
### Market Reactions During Election Night
Throughout election night, the crypto dollar’s value fluctuated noticeably. Citizens actively swapped pesos for stablecoins and vice versa, aiming to maximize their returns amid the peso’s volatility.
Lemon’s election dashboard showed the peso hitting a low exchange rate of 1,572.50 ARS per crypto dollar around 2 p.m. local time on Sunday. As results became clearer, the rate improved dramatically, reaching 1,350 ARS per dollar by 10 a.m. on Monday.
Werning summarized these movements: “Over the weekend, we initially saw the crypto dollar rise dramatically, and as results came in on Sunday, we saw it plummet against the peso.” The Lemon spokesperson added, “This signals optimistic market sentiment.”
### Conclusion: Peso Strengthens Following Milei’s Victory
Market reactions indicate optimism following Milei’s surprise yet decisive victory in the midterm legislative elections. The Argentine peso appeared stronger on Monday compared to its close on Friday, reflecting renewed confidence among investors and citizens alike.
As Argentina navigates a politically charged landscape, the growing role of stablecoins as both a hedge and an economic indicator highlights the evolving intersection of traditional finance and digital assets in volatile markets.

Regardless of the game, it’s never fun to deal with cheaters. It’s not just first-person shooters like Call of Duty that are plagued with cheaters— even a game like The Division 2, which is primarily about PvE, also gets its fair share of bad actors.
It’s commendable that the developers are actively banning cheaters in this looter shooter, but unfortunately, some legitimate accounts have been caught up in the process, albeit unintentionally. Today, the developers acknowledged this issue with an official statement and have asked for patience from the community.
### The Division 2 Bans Affect Legit Players, And Ubisoft Is Working On It
In a statement posted on the official The Division 2 X (formerly Twitter) account, the developers shared:
> “As we previously communicated, we are undergoing a sanction process aimed at ensuring fair gameplay for everyone. During this process, we identified technical issues that have affected some accounts unintentionally. We’re actively working to restore all accounts that were unintentionally affected due to technical issues. These restorations will continue over the coming hours.”
The team is urging players to be patient as they continue to assess the best way to carry out sanctions without impacting innocent players.
### The Impact of Cheaters on Gaming Communities
Dealing with cheaters, whether in competitive or PvE settings, takes a toll on gamers. In fact, one study found that 50% of gamers have considered quitting gaming due to cheaters—something that is all too understandable.
Given that Ubisoft is pushing ahead with more content for The Division 2 into next year, including the major Survivors expansion, it’s crucial to resolve these ban issues now before they escalate into a bigger problem.
### Progress Against Cheating in Online Games
Cheaters have always been a problem in online games, but we have seen significant progress in recent years. For example, Battlefield 6 recently achieved a notable success by banning users of Cronus Zen, a popular cheating device.
If you know someone affected by The Division 2’s accidental bans, reassure them that Ubisoft is actively working on the issue. However, there is no set timetable for when all affected accounts will be restored, so the process might take some time.
Stay tuned for updates, and let’s hope fair play is fully restored soon!

After Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state would rely on the city of Austin to provide shelter for people experiencing homelessness, the city’s leadership has responded with some clarification.
Despite the governor’s statement, Austin officials report that the state has referred only one person to city shelters so far. This comes as the state continues to conduct homeless encampment sweeps in the capital city.
The discrepancy highlights ongoing challenges and coordination issues between state and local authorities in addressing homelessness in Austin.
