Organizers have tightened up the contest’s code of conduct, calling on participants to respect Eurovision’s values of “universality, diversity, equality, and inclusivity” and its political neutrality.Sweden has won Eurovision seven times and is bookies’ favorite to take the title again, which would take it past Ireland for the most victories. Swedish entry “Bara Bada Bastu” is an upbeat ode to sauna culture performed by KAJ, a trio from Finland’s Swedish-speaking minority.

Also highly ranked by the betting markets are classically-trained Austrian singer JJ’s “popera” song “Wasted Love,” French singer Louane’s ballad “maman,” Dutch entry Claude’s “C’est La Vie” and Israeli singer Yuval Raphael, a survivor of the Oct. 7 attacks, with “New Day Will Rise.”Intriguing outsiders include highly caffeinated Estonian entry ”Espresso Macchiato” by Tommy Cash, Icelandic brother duo VAEB with “Róa” — it’s about rowing — and Irish entrant Emmy’s ode to a doomed space dog, “Laika Party.”“There’s a lot of novelty acts this year,” said Paul Jordan, an expert on the contest known as Dr. Eurovision. “I think it’s kind of reflective of the chaos in the world. It’s almost like people are looking for a bit of escapism.

The competition will be aired by national broadcasters in participating nations, on streaming service Peacock in the United States and on the Eurovision YouTube channel in some countries.The Golden Knights played without captain Mark Stone because of an upper-body injury that caused him to miss most of Game 3 on Saturday. He played in Game 4 on Monday, but was far from at full health.

Neither team scored through the first two periods, and prime scoring chances were at a premium. There were only five high-danger chances, according to Natural Stat Trick, and the Golden Knights had four of them.But each team had a grade-A chance early in the third period. Vegas’ Brett Howden whiffed on a tap-in after taking a fantastic pass from Jack Eichel, and shortly after Draistaitl failed to convert on a breakaway. McDavid had a chance on a 2-on-1 to end the game in regulation but was denied by Hill with 1:06 left.
