Nikolaj Ehlers set up three goals in Carolina’s 4-2 win over Vegas in the fifth game of the Stanley Cup Final, moving a Danish player into the middle of an NHL title push. For Denmark, where ice hockey remains a smaller sport than football and handball, the performance put an unusually visible export on one of North American sport’s largest stages.

Nordic intelligence chiefs and senior officers say Russian war planning could include attacks on Danish ports and bridge links, placing the Storebælt and Lillebælt crossings at the center of Denmark’s security debate.

The immediate question is how much of any tax cut would survive the trip through suppliers and retailers before it reaches the checkout.

Denmark’s health authorities are starting a new campaign aimed at young people after concluding that many do not understand the risks attached to opioids. The move places a problem more often associated with the United States inside Denmark’s own prevention system, where the question is no longer whether the drugs exist but how far they have already spread.

More young people in Denmark are being admitted to hospital with opioid poisoning, according to new reporting from DR. The increase has pushed doctors and addiction specialists to describe opioids as the country's most dangerous drug, with potent pills and powders reaching teenagers far beyond older heroin scenes.

Patients in Region Midtjylland are now waiting close to six months for foot therapy, according to DR. The delay hits a treatment that can prevent pain, wounds and loss of mobility, and it exposes how publicly funded care handles services that are necessary but not acute.

Six Danish children conceived with sperm from the same donor have still not been tested, more than two and a half years after a warning about a hereditary cancer risk was issued. The case shows how slowly Denmark’s donor tracing and family notification system can move even after a known medical alarm.

A new DR comparison of Copenhagen house prices finds that homes on one side of a lake can cost 27 percent less than those directly opposite. The gap sits inside the capital itself, where school districts, transport links, redevelopment and neighbourhood status push buyers into sharply different markets within walking distance.

A donor-conception scandal involving a potentially lethal genetic defect is expanding, with Danish links now under scrutiny. DR reports that geneticists fear donor-conceived children may carry a dangerous mutation without knowing it, raising new questions about how Danish clinics and regulators screened donors and tracked offspring.

A ship in Mariagerfjord has reportedly been leaking oil for months, and the municipality is now asking the Danish state to decide who must remove the polluting vessel. The case exposes a familiar gap on the coast: pollution appears, the owner is absent, and the local authority is left with the bill and the paperwork.

Internal Danish military documents point to a long-term target of 13,000 conscripts a year, a level that would mean calling up roughly every fifth young person. The plan would move conscription from a limited intake toward a much broader claim on youth labour, with costs in barracks, instructors and lost time still to be met.

A man in his 30s was taken to hospital and underwent surgery after a knife attack in Esbjerg during the night to Saturday. Police have arrested a woman in connection with the case but have not said what relationship, if any, existed between the two.

A 52-year-old man has been charged with negligent arson after a fire in an apartment building in Nykøbing Mors, according to Berlingske. Police say they do not believe the case involves deliberate pyromania, but the fire still put a multi-family building in a small Danish town at the center of an emergency response.

Britain has warned travellers to expect long lines at Copenhagen Airport as the EU prepares stricter passport controls for non-EU passengers. Danish police say the added checks will extend waiting times at Denmark’s main international gateway well into the future.

Denmark’s central bank is opening an online registration system for old banknotes that are due to lose their value, aiming to cut queues at physical exchange points.
