Binnington was ejected from Wednesday's game after allowing a go-ahead goal to Minnesota's Ryan Hartman.

Californians desperate for a break in the rain will find a glimmer of hope in a new forecast released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center.

First off, there's more rain in store before we even get to April. The next 10 days are likely to be very wet, as there's already another atmospheric river lurking off the coast and heading our way.(Map: NOAA)Next week's atmospheric river will probably peak Tuesday or Wednesday, National Weather Service meteorologist Dalton Behringer said. It's too soon to say exactly which part of the state will be hardest hit, but state climatologist Michael Anderson said earlier this week that the storm's impact zone could stretch from the Bay Area to San Diego.Once that storm passes, things are looking a bit drier, as i...
