  ANAHEIM — The last time the Ducks faced the Winnipeg Jets, they were coming off a nine-day hiatus for the All-Star break and their bye week. The Ducks were a mess, plain and simple. They were no match for the faster, smarter and more creatives Jets, who thumped them 9-3.
  The Ducks gave up six goals in a period for the first time in their 25-year history. Somebody by the name of Jack Roslovic scored three times for the Jets, who clicked three times on the power play and fired six pucks past

• Ask the Lawyer: Can a lawyer encourage a witness to lie?

  19-03-2019 23:41
  
  Q: In trial, two witnesses under oath made statements that are untrue. I got my turn to testify and was able to say what was accurate. My sense is that the lawyer for the other side encouraged those two persons to make up a story to try to help their case. Is that something a lawyer can do without really any consequence?
