Anytime you ask Mark Scheifele about a goal he scored, he always begins his answer with a caveat. That he’s a pass-first player. While that may be true — he is indeed one of the best passers in the sport — it sells his goal-scoring ability short. After scoring the game-winning goal Tuesday — where the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 — Scheifele sits tied for the second most goals in the league (29). Joining him in a three-way tie for second is Sam Reinhart and his running mate, Kyle Connor. When asked after the game if there’s a bit of…

UK ‘can’t afford’ not to build runways, says Jonathan Reynolds, ahead of Rachel Reeves’ growth speechGood morning. Rachel Reeves is today delivering a speech on growth that has been subject to almost as much advance pitch-rolling and pre-briefing as you get for a budget. And no wonder, because she is hoping that it will do almost as much work, politically at least, as a budget. Although she has not had to unravel the mega, £25bn tax raising package she announced in October, it suppressed business confidence more than she expected and there now seems to be a Westminster consensus that…
