In what was a largely unconvincing performance from Spurs inside the Artic Circle, a second-half Jens Hauge brace gave Bodo a deserved lead before Micky van de Ven and a scrappy Jostein Gundersen own goal late on salvaged a draw for the north Londoners. It comes just three days after another late Spurs fightback when a stoppage-time strike from Joao Palhinha earned Frank’s team a point against Wolves in…

The Calgary Flames could eventually lose a goalie on waivers Eric Francis of Sportsnet: Devin Cooley and Ivan Prosvetov are battling for the Calgary Flames backup position behind Dustin Wolf.
