Roman Josi had three assists and the Nashville Predators erased a one-goal deficit in the third period to defeat the Ottawa Senators 3-2. Ryan Johansen scored on the power play at 12:38 of the third period but it came with some controversy.

Duchesne and Tanner Jeannot had Nashville’s other goals and Juuse Saros made 28 saves. Mathieu Joseph and Josh Norris scored for the Senators, whose three-game winning streak ended. Anton Forsberg made 31 saves.

Alabama lawmakers have approved legislation aimed at resisting a half-dozen executive actions by President Joe Biden to combat gun violence. The Alabama House of Representatives voted 68-28 on Thurdsay for legislation. It now goes to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey for her consideration. The measure is part of red state efforts to take up both tangible and symbolic resistance to federal gun control measures. The approval came over the objections of Democrats who derided the measure as unconstitutional and election-year pandering. The legislation would prohibit state officials from helping to administer or enforce any presidential executive order that “restricts the ownership, use, or possession of firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories.”

Alabama lawmakers have voted to prohibit election officials from accepting private donations and grants to help fund election-related expenses like voter registration and outreach. The Alabama Senate approved the bill on a 25-7 vote Thursday. Republicans were in support of the measure and Democrats opposed. The bill now goes to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey for her consideration.
