one of the best games of his career last weekend in a 27-9 win against the San Francisco 49ers. He completed 29 of 38 passes for 312 yards Womens Vita Vea Jersey , two touchdowns and zero interceptions. It was the game we have been waiting for all season long from Winston. Not only was he extremely accurate with the ball, but he was calm in the pocket, he didn’t force anything down the field and took what the defense gave him, and even took a sack when nothing was there.It was clearly an improvement from earlier on in the season before his benching, there is no doubt about that, but this week will be the real test on whether or not Winston has taken a step forward. In his six career games against the Carolina Panthers, Winston has completed just 61.36% of his passes and has thrown only five touchdowns compared to nine interceptions. Statistically, it is by far his worst stats against an opposing team. Winston and the Buccaneers offense has also failed to score over 23 points against Carolina in all the games he has started. The Panthers have a dominant front seven and we have seen Winston force way too many throws when that pressure arrives in his face. You know that the bad starts against the Panthers will be in the back of his head Womens Chandler Catanzaro Jersey , so it will be interesting to see how he reacts this week. If we see the Winston of old, it will be very concerning, but if the Winston from last Sunday shows up, you can make the case that he has turned over a new page in his career. Yes, it will have only been two and a half games, but if for two and a half games he can eliminate those dangerous throws, that’s improvement. We simply have never seen that from Winston.We will have plenty of answers regarding Winston come Sunday at about 4 p.m. Tampa Bay enters its final game with nothing to play for other than a draft pick. Technically, it’d be better for the Buccaneers to lose this game to preserve a higher selection but we don’t root for losses at Bucs Nation. Well Peyton Barber Jersey , at least not me.This is likely the final game of the Dirk Koetter era for the Bucs. I can’t say that I’m too sad to see it end. It just never seemed like this staff could provide much development or put players in the best position to have success. Atlanta and Tampa Bay both entered the season with playoff aspirations. They’ll end the 2018 campaign as middle of the pack teams who each hold their fair share of issues. 1. Pressuring Matt RyanWhile the Falcons have struggled to move the ball on the ground since Devonta Freeman went down early in the season. That being said, Matt Ryan has still performed like vintage Matty Ice.The veteran quarterback has completed 69.2% of his passes while throwing 33 touchdowns to just six interceptions. Despite his performance, Ryan has been under pressure for most of the season, he’s been sacked 41 times. That should be the Bucs mantra on Sunday. Making Ryan as uncomfortable as possible with Jason Pierre-Paul pressuring his blindside. 2. Limiting Julio JonesAtlanta does have a few capable threats through the air but Julio Jones is without question the best. Jones has nearly double the amount of production as the Falcons No. 2 wide receiver, Calvin Ridley. The former Alabama star has 104 catches for 1,539 yards and seven touchdowns. Ridley and Mohamed Sanu have been good but they haven’t displayed the level of consistency as Jones. If the Bucs can limit an ailing Jones, they’ll give themselves more of a shot to stop Atlanta’s offense. 3. Finding success on the groundThe Falcons haven’t been very good on defense this year and one of its worst areas have been stopping the ground attack. Adversely, Tampa Bay has been extremely inconsistent running the ball all season. After finishing with 65 yards on the ground with an average of 2.6 yards per carry http://www.buccaneerslockerroom.com/authentic-vita-vea-jersey , the Bucs offensive line should being able to create more holes against an Atlanta defense that is the sixth worse in the NFL at defending the run. Peyton Barber isn’t an elite back, but he runs as hard as anyone in the league. 4. Protecting Jameis WinstonJameis Winston was under constant pressure a week ago against Dallas’ elite defensive front. He was sacked three times and under duress countless others. When Winston has time to deliver his passes, he’s shown that he can make plays through the air. Tampa Bay’s offensive line simply has to protect him long enough for that to happen. Atlanta has 36 sacks on the season and four different Falcons have five or more of them. They can bring pressure a variety of ways and this game will go a long way in determining the fate of Donovan Smith and Demar Dotson. 5. Limiting turnoversTampa Bay has been hinged by turnovers for most of the 2018 season and that was no different in Dallas. The Buccaneers lost two fumbles against the Cowboys, with one being returned for a touchdown in a seven point loss. Dirk Koetter’s team has committed a league high 34 turnovers in 15 games. On the flip side, Atlanta has forced just 18 turnovers all season. There’s no guarantee they won’t beat themselves again, but if the Bucs limit their turnovers, their odds of winning this game skyrocket.

Seahawks lose 19-17 in 2018 preseason opener The Seattle Seahawks began their 2018 preseason with a 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in front of a predictably enthusiastic crowd on a beautiful Thursday evening at CenturyLink Field. Seattle’s first-team offense looked sharp in limited action http://www.seahawkslockerroom.com/authentic-marshawn-lynch-jersey , while the first and second-string defense kept the Colts out of the end zone. This is obviously a devastating loss, as the Seahawks will not be able to finish 23-0 this year (4-0 preseason, 16-0 regular season, 3-0 postseason). Both teams scored on their opening possession. Andrew Luck led a 12-play, 60-yard field goal drive in his much anticipated return to the field, and converted a 4th and 1 by finding an open Robert Turbin for 14 yards along the way. Russell Wilson answered with a 12-play, 75-yard touchdown drive in his first series, with Chris Carson featuring on a 4th and 1 conversion. Nick Vannett put Seattle on the board with a sliding catch as Wilson scrambled to his right, and Rashaad Penny did a good job in pass protection.Luck got a second series. Rasheem Green sacked the Colts QB, but fellow rookie Tre Flowers extended Indy’s drive with a 3rd down pass interference. Akeem King had a nice pass break-up on TY Hilton to force another Adam Vinatieri field goal to cut the score to 7-6. Luck finished the day 6/9 for 64 yards.Wilson wouldn’t get another series, finishing 4/5 for 43 yards, 1 TD, and 2 rushes for 14 yards. Austin Davis took over, and things were going well when he entered the game, including a nice hook-up with David Moore for a 28-yard gain, but a dreadful end-zone interception thrown right to Nate Hairston put an ugly end to that drive.The Colts took a 9-7 lead into the locker room after they were fortunate to have a punt return fumble not called due to the refs ruling forward progress had stopped, and favorable field position was turned into three more points. Delano Hill was unlucky not to have a forced fumble on the stat sheet, but it did open the door for Barkevious Mingo to eventually blow past J’Marcus Webb and sack Jacoby Brissett.Rookie quarterback Alex McGough took over for the entire 2nd half, while Phillip Walker eventually replaced Jacoby Brissett on the Colts side. The third and fourth-stringers were on display, and it looked like, well, a first preseason game. Indianapolis pulled ahead 12-10 on Mike Badgley’s short field goal, set up by a deep ball to Zach Pascal, who burned Mike Tyson for a 32-yard gain on an outside fade.In the 4th quarter, Michael Dickson showed off his strong leg and unorthodox spin on the ball, as he boomed a 61-yard punt and forced a muffed punt, which unfortunately the Colts recovered and got a 15-yard “lowering the helmet” penalty on Akeem King. Phillip Walker cashed in with a short drive and a touchdown pass to former Washington Huskies WR Darrell Daniels to make it 19-10 Colts.McGough had a rough stretch with the backup offensive line, getting repeatedly harassed and even sacked a couple of times. He was also inaccurate and content to just get rid of the ball quickly and to a running back.Seattle made things interesting in the form of the Colts having literally an entire series of fumbles, and the last one somehow got pushed 35 yards back into Indy’s end zone, and Joey Ivie made the recovery for a touchdown. Former Seahawks OL Mark Glowinski played center and was responsible for that botched snap. The Colts were able to run the clock out on the next drive, with running back Jordan Wilkins fighting through Delano Hill’s 3rd and 1 tackle attempt and picking up the game-clinching first-down.Injury reportDL Quinton Jefferson suffered an injury to his lower left leg/foot area, and limped off under his own power.RT Isaiah Battle similarly limped off the field in the 3rd quarter, favoring his left leg before heading to the injury tent. He did not return, and it was officially listed as a knee injury.Rookie LT Jamarco Jones got rolled up on in the 4th quarter, and was carted off with an apparent leg injury. It looked pretty bad, but he was listed as questionable to return.FS Tevon Mutcherson went down with injury in the 4th, and it also appeared to be a leg problem, as he limped off.WR David Moore suffered a head injury after taking a helmet-to-helmet it after trying to make a catch deep downfield. Shamarko Thomas was ejected for that hit, and rightly so.Next week’s opponentThe Seahawks travel to Los Angeles to play the Chargers on Saturday, August 18th at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT. Over the past few days, we’ve gone through the Seattle Seahawks’ unrestricted free agents and restricted free agents, assessing who’s likely to be re-signed and who isn’t, and which tenders they..."Over the past few days Tyler Lockett Jersey , we’ve gone through the Seattle Seahawks’ unrestricted free agents and restricted free agents, assessing who’s likely to be re-signed and who isn’t, and which tenders they may or may not receive from Seattle. Today we’ll wrap up Seahawks on expiring deals with the group of exclusive rights free agents. Here’s how Over The Cap defined ERFAs in a 2013 post:These players aren’t really free agents in any sense, unless their team chooses not to tender them. Seeing as there is no guaranteed money on an ERFA tender, there is zero risk in tendering an exclusive rights free agent, especially with rosters ballooning back up to 90 players. However, for the sake of clarity, let’s briefly go through Seattle’s exclusive rights free agents and their standing with the team.Tyler OttThere was a strange time, following Clint Gresham’s release, where the long snapper position caused a bit of turbulence for the Seahawks. Ott stabilized the position and hasn’t missed a game during his two seasons in Seattle. There’s no reason to expect Ott to hit unrestricted free agency. Branden JacksonAfter spending some time on the practice squad in 2018, Jackson proved his worth by playing inside and outside along the defensive line for the Seahawks. At times, he has proven to be a dependable rotational player, and at the low cost of an ERFA tender, will be back in camp with Seattle. J.D. McKissicThe Seahawks must do a better job of getting McKissic involved with the offense, health permitting, in 2019. Despite touching the ball just three times in 2018, McKissic’s return is a no-brainer. Joey HuntWhen injuries hit the offensive line in 2018, Hunt, at times, was dressed on game day over Ethan Pocic. Whether that’s an endorsement of Hunt or an indictment of Pocic is anyone’s best guess. Hunt is familiar with the offense and at the very least, can stick with the team through camp as a second or third string center. Kalan ReedSigned during training camp, it appeared for a moment like Reed could actually snatch a roster spot as he continued to make plays in practice. Reed impressed enough to spend the season on the practice squad, and there’s no reason not to run it back in 2019. Shalom LuaniPlaying under the ERFA tender in 2019, Luani should provide Seattle with good value. He proved to be a valued special teamer in 2018 and if he makes the 53-man roster in 2019, will do so again at a tiny cost.David MooreThere should still be hope within the Seahawks organization that Moore can fulfill the role of a contested-catch receiver. Moore will be a bargain for Seattle in 2019. Austin CalitroAt worst, Calitro was a core special teamer for the Seahawks in 2018. At best, he did the job of a stop-gap in the starting lineup while Mychal Kendricks and K.J. Wright battled injuries. Like Moore and Luani, Calitro can provide Seattle with value in 2019. Jordan SimmonsFor a short while, it seemed as though Simmons may play D.J. Fluker out of a roster spot on the Seahawks in 2019. Injuries—perpetually the story with Simmons—ended his season, but he remains a highly fascinating project. Health permitting, Simmons could battle for a starting spot in 2019. T.J. MutchersonSigned as a UDFA following the 2018 NFL Draft, Mutcherson helped round out the numbers at safety in camp, while Maurice Alexander struggled to get healthy and Earl Thomas held out. He was placed on injured reserve during the cut from 90 players to 53, but if Seattle remains intrigued by his profile, he should be back in camp. Ricky Ali’ifuaSimilar to Mutcherson, Ali’ifua was in camp as Frank Clark and Dion Jordan missed time. A season-ending injury led to him spending the entire season on the Seahawks’ injured reserve. Defensive line will be a crowded group entering training camp, but Seattle can hang on to Ali’ifua until they need the roster spot. Emmanuel EllerbeeWhile injuries were ravaging the linebacker corps, Ellerbee made the jump from practice squad to active roster and appeared in four games. At least one of Kendricks and Wright won’t be back in 2019, so Ellerbee should have a roster spot in camp.The nature of the exclusive rights free agent tender gives the Seahawks a ton of freedom, able to hang on to a player until they need the roster spot elsewhere. It’s a tough spot for the player to be in, but it makes for easy decisions for Seattle. This group of young, intriguing (mostly) role players will help to fill out the 90-man roster the Seahawks will enter camp with.

SUNRISE Aleksander Barkov Jersey , Fla. (AP) —David Quinn didn’t like the way his team played after the first period, but post-regulation heroics helped the club break its three-game losing streak.Kevin Hayes had the game-deciding goal in the third round of the shootout after Henrik Lundqvist made a couple of big saves in the overtime, and the Rangers beat the Florida Panthers 5-4 on Saturday night.After Mika Zibanejad and Kevin Shattenkirk scored in the shootout for New York and Jonathan Huberdeau tallied for Florida, Hayes beat goalie Roberto Luongo to end it.New York squandered three leads before sweeping the season series 3-0 from the Panthers.“We seem to be a little fragile mentally, and I was really anxious to see how we were going to respond to our good first period and we never gave ourselves a chance — we took a bad penalty, they score early in the period and you could just sense it on the bench,” Quinn said. “We gotta get out of that rut.”Zibanejad, Vladislav Namestnikov, Matt Beleskey and Fredric Claesson scored goals, and Hayes had a pair of assists for the Rangers, who improved to 5-1 in shootouts.Lundqvist had 27 saves, and Luongo finished with 22. Lundqvist stopped the Panthers’ first attempt in the shootout, by Aleksander Barkov.Lundqvist also denied Huberdeau on a breakaway after the Florida winger stole the puck from Hayes, and Lundqvist was strong the entire overtime.“It felt, going into overtime, we needed this extra point no matter what,” Lundqvist said. “I thought we played really well. I made two mistakes Evgenii Dadonov Jersey Kids , two goals.”Keith Yandle, Huberdeau, Aaron Ekblad and Barkov had goals for the Panthers, who finished 3-2-3 on their eight-game homestand. Huberdeau added a pair of assists.Zibanejad grabbed a rebound off a long shot by Hayes, who moved to the top line’s right wing, and slid it past Luongo at 3:37 of the first period for his ninth goal.With New York on the penalty kill late in the period, Hayes won a race to the puck near the end boards and fed Namestnikov, who slipped in the short-handed goal, his third tally this season, at 18:10.“It’s another lesson to be learned,” Florida coach Bob Boughner said. “We talked about all day was starting well against these guys. We just didn’t have enough intensity and urgency at the beginning of the game.”Yandle blasted in a power-play goal 57 seconds into the second period for his fifth, and Huberdeau scored his ninth goal off a turnover in the neutral zone at 4:14 to tie it at 2.Beleskey deflected in Brady Skjei’s shot for his first Rangers goal at 6:28 for a 3-2 lead, but Ekblad roofed his seventh goal over a lunging Lundqvist at 18:20 as the period ended tied at 3.Claesson scored his second goal at 1:32 of the third period when he whistled in a shot from the left circle for a 4-3 lead, but Barkov’s 11th tally on the power play at 10:51 evened it at 4.NOTES: The game featured two goaltenders inside the top 10 in career wins — Luongo in fourth (476) and Lundqvist in seventh (440). Luongo and Lundqvist rank first and second, respectively, among active NHL goalies in career appearances, wins and shutouts. … Zibanejad had six points (three goals http://www.officialhockeypanthersshop.com/authentic-adidas-james-reimer-jersey , three assists) in the three games against Florida. … Huberdeau recorded his 300th NHL point with his goal and has multi-point outings in seven of his last eight games. … The Panthers have power-play goals in eight straight games and 18 of 19. … Florida scratched F Nick Bjugstad (upper body), who missed his first game this season.UP NEXTRangers: At Tampa Bay on Monday.Panthers: At St. Louis on Tuesday. ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — With a record-setting run by goalie Ben Bishop, the Dallas Stars have surged forward in the Western Conference race.They proved in Minnesota they’re plenty capable of winning without him, too.Radek Faksa, Roope Hintz and Joel L’Esperance scored in a span of 2:22 early in the second period, and the Stars hung on to beat the Wild 4-1 on Thursday night after Bishop got hurt.Anton Khudobin stopped 14 of the 15 shots he faced in relief of Bishop, who made seven saves and established a franchise best by stretching his scoreless streak to 240:53 before exiting with a lower-body injury.“Obviously we didn’t want to see Bish leave the game, but we’ve got all the confidence in the world in Doby, and it didn’t faze us at all,” captain Jamie Benn said.Alexander Radulov added an empty-netter for the Stars, who have won six of their last seven games — five in regulation. Khudobin, who’s on his sixth team in 10 years in the NHL, has given the Stars a solid tandem this season. Bishop missed five games with a lower-body injury in November and six games with an upper-body injury in February, so Khudobin has not lacked for action.Stars coach Jim Montgomery declined to speculate on when Bishop could return.“If he doesn’t get hurt, maybe he gets another shutout, I don’t know Youth Jamie McGinn Jersey ,” Montgomery said. “The goal that went in, he’s big, and it probably doesn’t go anywhere, right? But Khudobin makes saves he can’t. That’s why they make a great duo.”Jason Zucker had the only goal for the Wild, who took another hit in the Western Conference wild-card race with their third straight loss. They’re in ninth place with 74 points and 11 games to go, trailing Arizona by three points for the final spot.The Stars, meanwhile, moved into a tie with St. Louis for third place in the Central Division with 79 points. They have 12 games remaining, as do the Blues.“I loved the way we played,” Montgomery said.The opposite sentiment was expressed down the hall. Wild coach Bruce Boudreau refrained from sharing much insight with reporters, holding back to avoid “ripping players.” They offered plenty of their own critiques, though.“It’s got to come from leadership and guys playing the right way and holding guys accountable,” left wing Marcus Foligno said. “Right now we’re just letting things slip away. I wish I had the answers.”At the 4:11 mark of the second period, Blake Comeau sent an off-balance one-timer from right inside the blue line into the slot where Faksa blindly tipped it past Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk as Comeau fell down for his fourth goal in his last 10 games.Hintz, who scored twice Tuesday in a 3-0 win at Buffalo, knocked in a sprawling rebound just 1:14 later that sneaked between Dubnyk’s pads and crept across the goal line. Then a mere 1:08 after that, Benn’s backhand pass from the boards was deflected in by L’Esperance for his first NHL goal.The goalie change immediately followed Womens Jared McCann Jersey , except this switch was made by the scoring team. That’s because Bishop, who leads the NHL in save percentage and posted shutouts in each of his last three starts, was injured.Khudobin, a seventh-round draft pick by the Wild in 2004, picked up right where Bishop left off. Zucker ended an 0-for-18 slump by the Wild on the power play over their last six games with his rebound backhand midway through the second period , but that’s all they managed.Minnesota’s five-game homestand started sluggishly with a 3-0 loss to Pacific Division leader San Jose on Monday.This was already going to be a critical response for a team still trying to find some momentum in this sidewinding season dented by the loss to injuries of top-scoring defenseman Matt Dumba and captain and center Mikko Koivu. Throw the standings into the equation, and this matchup became one of the Wild’s most important games of the month. They fell flat again, falling to 1-6-3 in their last 10 home games since Jan. 19.“It’s not a matter of nobody wants to,” left wing Zach Parise said. “It’s just out of sync.”NOTES: Zucker has seven goals in 10 games. … Tyler Seguin, who assisted on Hintz’s goal, has 32 points in 28 career games against the Wild. … Minnesota’s Luke Kunin (upper body) returned from a two-game absence, but fellow center Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) was scratched. … L’Esperance skated in his 11th NHL game.UP NEXTStars: Return to Dallas to start a five-game homestand, beginning with the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday night.Wild: Host the New York Rangers on Saturday night.

Senators know how difficult it is to beat Pekka Rinne. What they probably don’t realize is that the Nashville Predators veteran goalie has dominated their team for years.Rinne has an 8-3-0 career record against the Senators that includes victories the last seven times he has faced them.Article continues below ...In his last five wins over Ottawa Brent Seabrook Jersey Kids , he has allowed just four goals.When the teams met Dec. 11 in Nashville, Rinne muffed a backhand by Zack Smith at the 26-second mark of the first period, then was flawless the rest of the way, stopping the next 25 shots in a 3-1 victory.With a comfortable seat on the end of the bench to watch Juuso Saros defeat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 in a shootout on Saturday, Rinne is sure to get the call when the Predators visit the Senators on Monday night at Canadian Tire Centre. The 36-year-old will be trying to build on a remarkable season that sees him with a 14-5-1 record and with a league-leading 1.96 goals-against average, the only starter in the league below 2.00. His .929 save percentage is also tops among all goalies who have played in at least 20 games.“I don’t know how he does it,” Predators coach Peter Laviolette told The Tennessean. “He’s getting older and you wouldn’t know it. It doesn’t seem to affect him.”The Predators (22-10-1) are riding a three-game winning streak. The visit to Ottawa marks the first of a four-game road trip that includes stops in Chicago 24 hours later, Philadelphia on Dec. 20 and Boston on Dec. 22.The Senators (14-16-4) are coming off their third 5-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in 12 days. They have won just two of their last five games but can take solace in the fact they’re returning to friendly confines after a three-game road trip. Ottawa has one of the best home records in the Eastern Conference at 10-5-3.The Senators could also be getting some help. Signs are pointing to the return of center Matt Duchene, who was the team’s leading scorer with 34 points when he was knocked out of the lineup with a groin injury on Dec. 6. It’s also looking like defenseman Mark Borowiecki could be back in the lineup for the first time since exiting Nov. 21 with an upper-body injury.The Senators could use the reinforcements. They led the Canadiens 2-1 after two periods on Saturday before giving up four straight goals in the third period. Coach Guy Boucher put the fade on the fact that it was their second game in 24 hours and they were playing a “fast” team.“We let them come at us in waves,” winger Bobby Ryan told reporters. “We didn’t have a match for their energy and the number of pucks they put on net. We sat back a little too much. We were a stick-length away all night.”After the game against Nashville Youth Corey Crawford Jersey , Ottawa is off until it travels to play New Jersey on Dec. 21 and returns home to host Washington on Dec. 22. The Senators then have a five-day Christmas break before visiting the New York Islanders on Dec. 28 and then returning home to again entertain the Capitals on Dec. 29. With just about a quarter of the season gone, the San Jose Sharks sit atop their division but are also concerned about a lack of consistency on the ice.Looking to bounce back from a poor effort, the Sharks hope to even their season series with the last-place St. Louis Blues on Saturday night in San Jose.San Jose (10-7-3) holds a one-point lead over the Vancouver Canucks and a two-point cushion on the Calgary Flames in the Pacific Division. But the club has won three in a row only once and fell to 2-1-0 on a six-game homestand after Thursday’s 5-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.Article continues below ...“When we’re playing at our best, we see what’s successful that makes us win hockey games,” San Jose defenseman Brenden Dillon said. “We’re not really doing it for a full 60 minutes right now; we’re doing it in spurts.”The Sharks have allowed 64 goals this season — the same number the club has scored.“You can see the same kind of mistakes happening, I think, and as much as we talk about them and we want to do it right, when these same mistakes happen it kind of deflates us a little bit,” said center Joe Pavelski, who has four goals and three assists during the homestand.Dillon noted after the loss that “we are only 20 games in Duncan Keith Jersey , but we are 20 games in” and believes he has the answer to the San Jose’s inconsistency.“We know what we need to do in order to be successful and that’s putting an emphasis on defense,” he said. “We have enough skilled guys in here that we’re going to get goals.”One of San Jose’s worst outings of the season came Nov. 9 in St. Louis when Blues backup goaltender Chad Johnson stopped 33 shots for his first shutout in nearly two years in the Blues’ 4-0 win.St. Louis (7-7-3) has split the first two games of a three-game swing, but remains at the bottom of the Central Division. Blues goaltender Jake Allen sees some recent improvement, however.“I think probably the last three, four, five games, we’re getting more on the same page and it’s nice to see,” he told Fox Sports Midwest after a 32-save performance in a 4-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday night.Allen has lost each his last two starts in San Jose, and with games on consecutive nights, Johnson will likely face the Sharks in his first road start this season. The 32-year-old journeyman is 2-3-0 with a 2.08 goals-against average in six games http://www.officialblackhawksproshop.com/authentic-adidas-gustav-forsling-jersey , including four starts.Ryan O’Reilly collected two goals for St. Louis Friday and has seven of his team-best 10 markers over the last six games. He scored against San Jose in the first meeting of the season, but has failed to collect a point over his last three games in Silicon Valley.Linemate Vladimir Tarasenko assisted on both of O’Reilly’s tallies and is second on the club with 16 points (six goals, 10 assists). The Russian winger is still looking for his first road goal of 2018-19. He has just five helpers in six road contests this season, and has been held without a tally in six of seven career games in Northern California.Goaltender Aaron Dell, who hasn’t played for the Sharks since losing to the Blues, is 0-2-2 with a 3.20 goal-against average in his last four starts, while Martin Jones is 1-2-0 with a 1.35 GAA all-time against St. Louis in San Jose. Jones’ win – and both losses – were via shutout.The Blues are 7-2-1 in their last 10 visits to SAP Center.

NASHVILLE http://www.officialducks.com/authentic-adidas-cam-fowler-jersey , Tenn. (AP) — season win against the Nashville Predators.Nathan MacKinnon scored twice, Semyon Varlamov made 36 saves and the streaking Avalanche beat Nashville 3-2 on Tuesday night.Tyson Jost had the other goal for the Avalanche, who have won five straight. Colorado also ended an 11-game losing streak to Nashville in the regular season. The teams met in the first round of the playoffs last season, with Nashville winning the series in six games.Ryan Hartman and Kevin Fiala scored for the Predators.With the game tied early in the third period and Colorado on a power play, J.T. Compher slid a pass to Jost in the left circle. He sent a wrist shot through traffic that slipped by Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne.“It was exciting to get that go-ahead goal there,” Jost said. “This was a really fun game. They’re a good team. We knew that it was going to be a big game for us.”Varlamov was particularly strong in the third period, when he turned aside all 20 Nashville shots he faced. His teammates helped him out late, blocking four shots over the last 2:29 with Rinne lifted for an extra attacker.“Young teams, you’ve got to keep your poise and your mind about you when things get a little crazy at the end of the game,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “They’re pouring it on, they’re pinching down on everything and we did a nice job of winning all battles and chipping pucks out.”Hartman scored the game’s first goal at 11:07 of the opening period. He sent a wrist shot from the left point toward the Colorado net that went off the skate of Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard’s right skate and by a surprised Varlamov.MacKinnon tied it 2:03 later with a power-play goal.Mikko Rantanen sent a cross-ice pass to MacKinnon in the left circle, where he beat Rinne with a wrist shot underneath the left leg pad.Rinne finished with 22 saves.“Tight game,” he said. “(I) thought we had enough chances to win the game. Give them credit, their power play was very effective tonight. It’s a good team.

The New York Islanders used a strong team effort to get another win.Toews scored the tiebreaking goal early in the second period, Greiss stopped 26 shots and the Islanders beat the Wild 2-1 on Sunday.“That’s a sign of our team, how we battle, how hard we work,” Greiss said. “Everybody is just doing their job and doing everything they can.”Anthony Beauvillier also scored for Metropolitan Division-leading New York, which won for the fourth time in five games and ninth in 12 (9-1-2) to increase its lead to five points over second-place Washington. The Islanders, who beat Colorado 4-3 in overtime Saturday Kyle Brodziak Jersey Womens , improved to 15-2-1 in back-to-back games, including 9-0-0 on the back end.“You have to have a winning commitment,” New York coach Barry Trotz said. “The whole group has been all-in all year, and we’ve been able to put a few wins together.”Mikael Granlund scored for the Wild, who lost for the fifth time in six games (1-3-2). Devan Dubnyk, starting for the second straight game after facing just 18 shots in a 4-2 win at New Jersey on Saturday, had 32 saves.Minnesota pressed for the tying goal in the third, outshooting New York 12-9 in the period after totaling just 15 shots over the first 40 minutes. Greiss had four saves in close on one Wild power play in the middle of the period, stopping a tip by Eric Staal, a shot by Jason Zucker and two more tries by Staal.With just over a minute left, Lee used his helmet to block a shot by Ryan Suter as the Wild were scrambling to help preserve the win.“Huge commitment at the end,” Trotz said. “Guys are blocking shots with their legs, their ankles, their head. You name it, they’re getting in the way.”Greiss improved to 4-0-1 in his last five games, giving up just three goals on 157 shots in the stretch. His lone loss was 1-0 in a shootout against Tampa Bay at the Nassau Coliseum on Feb. 1.“Just working on my game all season long,” Greiss said. “Guys in front of me are playing well Jakob Silfverberg Jersey , everybody is doing their job and it shows out there.”The Islanders finished 1 for 6 on the power play, and the Wild were 1 for 3.“We never want to end up killing that many penalties,” Dubnyk said. “It’s tough to keep them out and that’s a lot of time you’re not able to be at the other end trying to score.”Granlund tied the score 1-1 with a power-play goal 38 seconds into the second period.

It makes it difficult.”Beauvillier gave New York a 1-0 lead with just under six minutes left in the opening period with his 13th of the season and first in 12 games.Valtteri Filppula, who set up Beauvillier’s score, had a chance to double the lead on a 3-on-2 break with a little more than a minute left in the first, but his attempt in front hit Dubnyk and then was covered up the goalie, who fell back on the ice and appeared unaware it wasNASHVILLE http://www.officialducks.com/authentic-adidas-cam-fowler-jersey , Tenn.

Colorado also ended an 11-game losing streak to Nashville in the regular season. The teams met in the first round of the playoffs last season, with Nashville winning the series in six games.Ryan Hartman and Kevin Fiala scored for the Predators.With the game tied early in the third period and Colorado on a power play, J.T. Compher slid a pass to Jost in the left circle. He sent a wrist shot through traffic that slipped by Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne.“It was exciting to get that go-ahead goal there,” Jost said. “This was a really fun game. They’re a good team. We knew that it was going to be a big game for us.”Varlamov was particularly strong in the third period, when he turned aside all 20 Nashville shots he faced. His teammates helped him out late, blocking four shots over the last 2:29 with Rinne lifted for an extra attacker.“Young teams, you’ve got to keep your poise and your mind about you when things get a little crazy at the end of the game,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “They’re pouring it on, they’re pinching down on everything and we did a nice job of winning all battles and chipping pucks out.”Hartman scored the game’s first goal at 11:07 of the opening period. He sent a wrist shot from the left point toward the Colorado net that went off the skate of Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard’s right skate and by a surprised Varlamov.MacKinnon tied it 2:03 later with a power-play goal.Mikko Rantanen sent a cross-ice pass to MacKinnon in the left circle, where he beat Rinne with a wrist shot underneath the left leg pad.Rinne finished with 22 saves.“Tight game,” he said. “(I) thought we had enough chances to win the game.

GLENDALE Custom San Jose Sharks Jerseys , Ariz. (AP) —franchise records, was the epitome of what a captain should be and led the Arizona Coyotes on their deepest playoff run.Those accomplishments only tell part of the story of how he became one of the most revered athletes in Arizona history.Humble to a fault. Deeply connected to the community. Loyal. Generous with his time, whether it was for a cause, casually chatting with a fan or media inquiries following a difficult loss. Always the hardest-working player on the team.Perhaps more than any of it, a good person.“I don’t know a better human being on this planet. I really don’t,” said Tyson Nash, Doan’s former teammate and current Coyotes TV analyst. “He is everything that you want to be and more. I want my kid to be like him. I want to be like him.”The Coyotes will celebrate Doan’s career by retiring his No. 19 jersey during a pregame ceremony before Sunday’s game against Winnipeg.The guest list will include NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, multiple former Coyotes teammates, friends and family. The Coyotes and the Jets will wear “Doan No. 19” on the warmup jerseys prior to the game and fans will receive a Doan bobblehead.“That’s the part that I’m really excited about: to get to share it with the fans here in Arizona and to have friends and family around for it,” Doan said. “It’s something that you never, ever dream of and to get to experience it is pretty amazing.”From Halkirk, Alberta, Doan was the seventh overall pick of the 1995 NHL draft by the Winnipeg Jets and came with the franchise when moved to the desert to become the Phoenix Coyotes.Doan guided the Coyotes through four years of uncertainty while the franchise was operated by the NHL and led them to the 2012 Western Conference Finals. He earned the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership on and off the ice in 2010, and took home the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2012.Doan retired in 2017 as Arizona’s career leader in games (1,540), goals (402), assists (570), points (972), game-winning goals (69) and power-play goals (128).He spent his entire 21-year career with the organization www.officialblues.com , spurning chances for a better chances to win the Stanley Cup out of loyalty for the NHL team that drafted him.“There’s no player in our team history that meant more to this franchise than Shane, and no player our franchise history that has meant more to this community than Shane,” Coyotes president and CEO Ahron Cohen said. “So it was a pretty easy decision.”At 6-foot-1, 223 pounds, Doan played with a combination of power and finesse. He also was driven to wring the most from his talent, always the last person off the ice after practice, huffing and puffing while dripping sweat after getting in a few extra laps or tipped shots.“This is a guy who spent 21 years in the NHL and his last year he was still out there,” Nash said. “He was always working on the nuances of his game to get better. It was remarkable, but that’s what good pros do, they try to get better every day.”Nash has known Doan since he was nine when he visited the Doan family’s Christian summer camp for kids at their ranch. The pair met up again eight years later as teammates in the Western Hockey League and were Coyotes together from 2003-06.Through the years of their friendship, Nash has seen first-hand Doan’s generosity, from taking the extra time to talk with fans after a game or give back to the community.He’s also seen the competitive side of Doan that raged anytime anything was on the line.Playing hockey, cards on the team plane, golf, wrestling in the basement, Doan wanted to win no matter what, his eyes widening into a maniacal look that belied his easygoing nature away from competition.“He’d take out his grandma to win at something,” Nash said. “The guy just never wanted to lose and if you beat him at something, you better be ready to go 10 rounds or whatever because he was going to get redemption.The Coyotes have a ring of honor that includes Keith Tkachuk St. Louis Blues T-Shirts Authentic , Jeremy Roenick and Teppo Numminen of the Coyotes, and Bobby Hull, Thomas Steen and Dale Hawerchuk of the original Jets.Doan, fittingly, will be the first player to have his number retired by the franchise.“Unexpected, maybe a little uncomfortable,” Doan said. “At the same time, so excited to have so many people coming, people that are close to me. It’s going to be so much fun.” TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Brayden Point and the Tampa Bay Lightning had a big-time response after a lopsided loss at Arizona over the weekend.Point had a career-high five points with a goal and four assists, defenseman Braydon Coburn scored twice, and the Lightning rallied from an early two-goal deficit to beat the New Jersey Devils 8-3 on Tuesday night.“We controlled the majority of the play,” Lightning star Steven Stamkos said.Point has seven goals and seven assists in 11 games this season.“He’s a real tenacious player,” Devils coach John Hynes said. “He’s extremely competitive. He’s a high-skilled player that plays the game the right way all the time. He’s a difficult player to play against.”Stamkos got his 350th career goal and added two assists for Tampa Bay, which was coming off a 3-1-1 trip that included a 7-1 loss in Arizona on Saturday.“It’s always nice when you get an accomplishment like that,” Stamkos said.Nikita Kucherov had two goals and an assist, and Tyler Johnson and Ryan McDonagh had the other Lightning goals. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 27 saves.Kucherov left with 6 minutes left in the second after taking a shot near the inside of his left knee but returned early in the third.Miles Wood, Travis Zajac and Kyle Palmieri scored for the Devils, who started a seven-game trip. Keith Kinkaid stopped 31 of 38 shots before being replaced five minutes into the third by Cory Schneider St. Louis Blues Hoodies Authentic , who allowed a goal on six shots in his first game after offseason hip surgery.“In general, we weren’t good enough to be able to win the game,” Hynes said. “They were better, basically, in every facet of the game. We’ve got to learn lessons from it and address some things. We’ve got some things to talk about tomorrow.”Point scored 31 seconds into the second as Tampa Bay went up 3-2. Kucherov and Stamkos added power-play goals later in the period that made it 5-2.After Wood and Zajac scored in the opening 5:04, Coburn tied it at 2 with first-period goals at 7:30 and 13:30.“The game just slipped away,” New Jersey center Nico Hischier said. “We didn’t play our game. We stopped forechecking, we stopped hitting them.”Coburn stopped a 38-game goal drought and has 46 goals in 861 NHL games. He scored just once in three of the previous four regular seasons. It was his second career multi-goal game, with the other coming on Oct. 31, 2009, while with Philadelphia.“Every nine years,” Coburn said with a smile. “It was real nice to be able to chip in offensively.”Coburn had a third-period shot go wide.“It would have been a cool feeling,” Coburn said of a potential hat trick.Tampa Bay’s penalty kill had not allowed a goal in 24 chances at home before Palmieri got his ninth goal, which cut the deficit to 5-3 on the Devils’ second power play late in the second. Taylor Hall assisted and extended his point streak to eight games (10 assists, 12 points).Johnson, Kucherov and McDonagh all scored in the third.NOTES: Lightning D Victor Hedman (shoulder) missed his second straight game and will be re-evaluated this weekend.

DETROIT (AP) — in overtime before the clock would run out. Andreas Athanasiou took the puck near the blue line Christian Dvorak Jersey , skated in and backhanded it toward the front of the goal, where Dylan Larkin was open.“I saw the lane to the net,” Larkin said. “I knew he was going to get it to me, so I just tried to put myself on the far side of the net.” Larkin scored with 5.1 seconds remaining in overtime, capping an impressive late comeback by the Detroit Red Wings in a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Friday night. Athanasiou tied the game with 2:02 remaining in the third period, then made the pass to Larkin, who redirected the puck past Henrik Lundqvist for his seventh goal of the season.“Just took a look at the clock,” Athanasiou said. “Got the puck up, (Mike Green) was screaming for me to get it up there. I saw Larks and tried to get it to the net.”The Rangers led 2-0 after two periods but had their four-game winning streak snapped. Detroit has won five of six after winning just one of its first 10 games.Kevin Shattenkirk and Neal Pionk scored 40 seconds apart during an extended New York power play late in the second period, but Justin Abdelkader began the Detroit rally with a goal early in the third.Lundqvist remained a win behind Hall of Famer Jacques Plante for seventh place on the career list.“This one hurts, because we had everything under control http://www.coyotesproshop.com/authentic-clayton-keller-jersey ,” Lundqvist said.The Rangers scored twice while Detroit’s Jacob de la Rose was serving a double-minor for high-sticking. Shattenkirk beat goalie Jimmy Howard with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle. Then, with de la Rose still in the box, Pionk’s perimeter shot appeared to deflect off a Detroit player on its way in.Lundqvist’s bid for his first shutout in nearly a year ended with 18:14 left in the third. Gustav Nyquist took the puck from Rangers defenseman Brendan Smith and fed Abdelkader on the doorstep for an easy goal.“We cheated the game with a 2-0 lead and that’s the result,” Rangers coach David Quinn said. “I thought we had learned that lesson, but we obviously haven’t. You can’t do that in this league.”Athanasiou, back after missing four games with a lower-body injury, tied it toward the end of the third when he sped in from the left wing and backhanded the puck past Lundqvist.“A lot of speed. I knew I could cut in,” Athanasiou said. “Got hooked a little bit, was able to get the puck back and I was able to fake Lundqvist out.”The Red Wings also trailed 2-0 before rallying to beat Vancouver in a shootout Tuesday.“We need to play the first period with the same urgency that we have in the third period,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said.NOTES: Mats Zuccarello (groin strain) missed the game for New York. … De la Rose left with an upper-body injury. … With Brett Howden, Lias Andersson and Filip Chytil Youth Derek Stepan Jersey , the Rangers had three forwards age 20 or younger in the same regular-season game for the first time since Oct. 13, 1990, when Tie Domi, Troy Mallette and Steven Rice played at Washington. … It was the 12th time in the last 13 games between Detroit and New York that the game was decided by one goal.UP NEXTRangers: Visit Columbus on Saturday night.Red Wings: Visit Carolina on Saturday night. The Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings meet Sunday after enduring overtime games Saturday, but the challenge of bouncing back will be more difficult for the Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena at Las Vegas.The Knights (20-15-3 with 43 points) were 1:25 away from a victory against the Montreal Canadiens but fell short in a 4-3 overtime loss. The Kings, last in the Pacific Division with a 13-20-3 record and 29 points, should come to Las Vegas energized following their second straight win, persevering over the San Jose Sharks 3-2 in overtime.“Montreal came in here and played a gritty game,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. “They played a competitive game. They were fast. It was probably the best team I’ve seen this year come into our building and play like that.Article continues below ...“I didn’t mind our team’s game (Saturday). But they were a step ahead of us all over the ice, and they were real good.”Paul Byron scored 1:59 into overtime for the Canadiens, and the Golden Knights allowed Phillip Danault to achieve a hat trick Womens Jason Demers Jersey , including the game-tying goal with 1:25 left in the third period.In the Kings’ win at San Jose, Ilya Kovalchuk scored his second goal of the game at 2:29 of overtime.Kovalchuk, who returned to the lineup after missing 10 games with an ankle injury, scored on a breakaway after tracking down a long rebound.“He was flying today,” Kings forward Alex Iafallo said. “That gives us momentum. He’s got a great shot and he proved it today. A really good game out of him.”Jonathan Quick made 29 saves, and Iafallo had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who have won consecutive games for the third time this season.The Knights, who had their six-game home win streak snapped, allowed a season-high 47 shots on goal.Brandon Pirri scored two goals, Jonathan Marchessault scored his first goal in six games, and Marc-Andre Fleury made a season-high 43 saves for the Golden Knights.“I think they deserved the two points. They were better than us Ian Cole Jersey Womens ,” Marchessault said. “But at the end of the night, our effort wasn’t good enough. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror. This wasn’t good for our group. We’re a hard-working team and tonight we didn’t play for 60 minutes.”This is only the second meeting of the season between the Golden Knights and the Kings. Los Angeles defeated Vegas 5-1 at the Staples Center on Dec. 8.In that game, the Kings tied a season-high in goals. It was only the sixth time in 30 games that they scored four or more goals.“It’s probably one of our more dominant wins. It was a full 60 minutes,” said Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty, who had an assist in that game against Vegas. “When your team does that, you’re going to win more hockey games and hopefully we realized that because we need to win more.”The teams will play twice more by New Year’s Day after Sunday’s game. The Kings host the Golden Knights on Dec. 29 and play at Vegas on Jan. 1.

WINNIPEG Scott Laughton Jersey , Manitoba (AP) — McLennan made no apology for his bias toward Oilers star Connor McDavid.McLennan only had to watch McDavid score twice and add two assists as the Oilers overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-4 Tuesday night on Darnell Nurse’s goal 1:25 into overtime.“He’s our captain. He’s our leader,” McLellan said of McDavid. “He’s, in my opinion, the best player on earth right now and he decided that he was going to will his team to a win.”McDavid set an NHL record by scoring or assisting on his team’s first nine goals to start a season, breaking Adam Oates’ record of seven with Detroit in 1986-87. McDavid has four goals and five assists in four games.“You know what? It’s whatever. I’m not overly proud of it,” McDavid said about the record. “I don’t think it’s a stat we should be proud of, either.“It is what it is, but we found a way to get a goal there at the end so we don’t ever have to talk about it again.”Ty Rattie ignited the comeback when he scored 18 seconds into the third period. McDavid got his second power-play goal of the game at 2:28 to trim Winnipeg’s lead to 4-3.Jesse Puljujarvi tied it at 13:39 when a shot by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins hit the Finnish forward’s stick and went past goalie Connor Hellebuyck. Nugent-Hopkins and Leon Draisaitl each had two assists.Jets forward Adam Lowry had two goals during a three-minute span in the first period. Mark Scheifele and defenseman Ben Chiarot also scored.“I just think we shot ourselves in the foot Womens Sean Couturier Jersey ,” Lowry said. “We started to make plays at the blue line and fed into their transition game. We were on our heels in the third.“Credit to them, they didn’t quit. They have a dynamic top line and it showed tonight.”Nurse scored the winner unassisted when he got around Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers and beat Hellebuyck.“Going into the third we could have gone two different ways, and 18 seconds in his line makes a huge play,” Nurse said about McDavid.“When you have a leader like that, everyone feeds off that. For him to be able to set the tone every single game, it’s incredible.”Hellebuyck made 30 saves for the Jets (3-2-1).Cam Talbot, playing his 200th game with the Oilers (2-2-0), stopped 29 shots.Winnipeg opened a 3-1 lead in the first period.Lowry got his first goal when he wasn’t challenged in front and sent the puck past Talbot at 4:51. Lowry then got his own rebound and his shot went under a sprawling Talbot at 7:47 to make it 2-0.McDavid connected on the power play when he cut smoothly to the front of the net and flipped a backhand past Hellebuyck at 12:49.But only 22 seconds later http://www.officialflyersproshop.com/authentic-adidas-shayne-gostisbehere-jersey , Chiarot restored his team’s two-goal lead on a point shot with Patrik Laine providing the screen in front.Continuing a power play to start the second, Scheifele fired in his goal off the rebound of Laine’s one-timer to make it 4-1 at 1:02.“Yeah, 4-1 should be game over,” Jets captain Blake Wheeler said. “Our line went out, gave up one early on and gave them momentum.

I was coming out of the blue-line door — so that’s 30 or 40 feet for them to change Travis Konecny Jersey , and I got in behind them.”Brown gathered in a pass from Jake Muzzin in the Avalanche zone and skated between the circles before sending a wrist shot past the stick of goalie Semyon Varlamov for the winner.Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Brown beat Colorado skaters into their zone.“You can’t hide in 3-on-3, so Mikko (Rantanen) changes and their guy is behind him,” Bednar said. “And then we were late coming on and it’s in the back of our net. You can’t let guys get in behind you 3-on-3 or they’re going to score. That’s it.”Sean Walker and Drew Doughty also scored for the Kings. Jonathan Quick had 22 saves and earned his 299th career win. He has 17 wins in 24 career games against the Avalanche.Nathan MacKinnon and Carl Soderberg scored for Colorado, which lost its fifth straight.With an extra attacker on the ice in place of their goalie, the Avalanche evened the score at 2-2 at 18:40 of the third period on a goal by Soderberg. Tyson Barrie’s shot from the point went off Soderberg’s skate and into the net past Quick. The outcome for Colorado mirrored its overtime loss Saturday to Chicago.“It’s unfortunate because it’s so quick — bang, bang — in overtime,” Erik Johnson said after Colorado fell to 1-8 in overtime games this season. “We clawed our way back so hard, it’s tough to swallow. It was looking like we weren’t going to come up with anything Adam Cracknell Jersey Womens , so we need those two points. We’ll take the single one right now, but it certainly stinks not to get that extra one.”Trailing 2-0, the Avalanche cut the deficit in half when MacKinnon finished a 2-on-1 break with a shot from in front that beat Quick. Rantanen set him up with a cross-ice pass that allowed MacKinnon to flick the puck over Quick’s glove.Walker, who had an apparent first-period goal negated by a goalie interference call, extended the Kings’ lead with a wraparound shot that got past Varlamov at 12:58 of the second period. It was the first NHL goal for Walker, who got the inside edge on Rantanen and stuffed the puck into the net through a narrow opening before Varlamov could get to the side and close it.“It was a roller coaster,” Walker said. “Pretty high and then pretty low. And then luckily, I got the other one. You want to get your first one out of the way.”With the Kings on the power play Wayne Simmonds Jersey , Doughty opened the scoring with a slap shot from the top of the right circle 22 seconds into the second period. Doughty scored off a feed from Tyler Toffoli.NOTES: At 5:40 of the first, the Kings had an apparent goal by Walker negated by goalie interference.

Brown set career highs in points (61) and assists (33) last season.Forward Michael Amadio was assigned to Ontario in a corresponding move. DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Avalanche broke up their top line and broke out of their funk.Just the sort of breakthrough they needed to salvage their season.Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Calvert scored 11 seconds apart in the third period, Semyon Varlamov made 26 saves in another strong performance and the Avalanche routed the Winnipeg Jets 7-1 on Wednesday night.Carl Soderberg Ondrej Kase Jersey , Mikko Rantanen, Tyson Jost, Gabriel Landeskog and A.J. Greer also scored to help Colorado win two in a row for the first time since late November. In addition, MacKinnon’s power-play goal snapped an 0-for-29 dry spell on the man advantage.“We’re trending in the right direction,” Landeskog said.The Avalanche recently split up one of the top lines in hockey of Landeskog, MacKinnon and Rantanen to bolster a stagnant offense. It’s paying off with Colorado scoring 10 goals over the last two games.“Every time I draw up the lineup that’s what I’m hoping for Rickard Rakell Jersey ,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “The last couple games have been really good.”Varlamov followed a 40-save shutout performance Monday by clamping down on the Jets. The only score Varlamov allowed was to Kyle Connor in the third period with Colorado staked to a 4-0 lead.Connor Hellebuyck stopped 39 shots for Winnipeg, which lost to the Avalanche for the second time inside of a week. What’s more, the Central Division-leading Jets drop to 2-4-2 over their last eight games.It’s left coach Paul Maurice searching for answers.“You know what, fellas, you’re not getting much from me tonight,” Maurice said. “We weren’t very good. We weren’t very good. I’ll fix it tomorrow. You guys have a wonderful day.”Jets forward Adam Lowry had a more succinct response.“We were terrible. Unacceptable Womens Ryan Getzlaf Jersey ,” Lowry said. “I’m surprised. We knew they’d be hungry. They’re fighting for a playoff spot. I guess we’re fat and comfortable where we’re at because the effort wasn’t there.”For Jets forward Blake Wheeler, it boiled down to one thing — effort.“It looked like we kind of gave up, so that’s disappointing,” Wheeler said. “Even when we were out of the playoffs and there was nothing to play for, we had a group that played hard. We didn’t do that tonight.“If we have a bunch of guys that want to look in the mirror instead of point fingers, we’ll be all right.”MacKinnon and Calvert broke things open early in the third with the fastest back-to-back goals for the Avalanche this season. It was part of a five-goal period for the Avalanche.Things got testy midway in the third when Avalanche defenseman Nikita Zadorov and Jets center Mark Scheifele got into a brief skirmish. Both were sent to the box for roughing. Zadorov later squared off with Lowry.Soderberg and Rantanen gave Colorado a 2-0 advantage in the second period. That was plenty for Varlamov http://www.officialducks.com/authentic-adidas-ryan-kesler-jersey , who was making his eighth straight appearance in net.“He’s really seeing the puck right now and really moving — real solid back there,” Landeskog said. “He really gives us that confidence.”It’s been a bumpy ride for the Avalanche, who have gone from challenging for the Central Division lead in December to falling out of a playoff spot after a rough stretch and now working their way back into the thick of a playoff chase.“Right where we want to be — destiny’s in our hands,” Bednar said. “We’ve got a lot of season yet to go. This is going to go right down to the bitter end.”NOTES: Jets D Dustin Byfuglien was out for a second straight game with a lower body injury. … Avalanche F Colin Wilson missed a fifth straight game with an upper body injury. … D Ian Cole sat out a seventh straight game with an upper body injury.

said the Maple Leafs got schooled by Nashville.Pekka Rinne made 18 saves for his third shutout of the season and the 54th of his career as the Predators defeated the Maple Leafs 4-0 Monday night.Mattias Ekholm Andrew Ladd Jersey , Kevin Fiala and Colton Sissons each had goal and an assist for Nashville, and P.K. Subban also scored.“We got a lesson from a veteran team,” Babcock said. “In the third period in particular … they just stayed patient.“They were heavy on the puck, heavy on their sticks, detailed, blocked shots, competed. I liked their game.”Michael Hutchinson stopped 28 shots for the Maple Leafs, who hit the post three times and had a goal called back for offside.Nashville improved to a league-best 22-2-0 when leading through two periods.“Defensively, we played a great game,” said Rinne Anthony Beauvillier Jersey , who had 23 shots blocked in front of him. “They have a dangerous team.”The Maple Leafs were coming off one of their most complete performances of the season in Saturday’s 5-0 shutout of Vancouver, but have lost three of their last four after a five-game winning streak.“It was a tight game,” Leafs center John Tavares said. “They’ve been through a lot of battles over the last few years and have really proven themselves and know how to win.”The Predators were playing for the third in in four nights. They opened their season-long six-game trip with a 4-3 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday — a performance that head coach Peter Laviolette described as “awful” — and then beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 on Saturday.“The past two games, that Preds hockey,” Subban said. “That’s the way we play when we’re playing our best. We make it tough.”Rinne is now tied with Marc-Andre Fleury, Bernie Parent and Ed Giacomin for 21st on the all-time shutout list.After a scoreless opening 20 minutes, the Predators went ahead at 4:08 of the second period when Ekholm’s shot from the point, through traffic, beat Hutchinson for his fifth of the season.Hutchinson was making his third consecutive start with No. 1 goalie Frederik Andersen and backup Garret Sparks out injured.Ekholm has 29 points in 43 games. His career best was 35 points in 2015-16.Toronto appeared to tie the game 43 seconds later when Auston Matthews connected on a no-look pass from Andreas Johnsson. But the goal was called back after the Predators correctly challenged that William Nylander was just ahead of the play.After Rinne stopped Johnsson in front, Subban made it 2-0 with his fourth goal at 13:11. The Predators won an offensive zone faceoff before the Nashville defenseman Authentic Brock Nelson Jersey , who was playing his seventh game back after missing 19 with an upper-body injury, ripped a one-timer that deflected off Nylander’s stick at the point and sailed past Hutchinson.“He’s got to get better,” Babcock said of Nylander. “All the details, all the compete, all that stuff has just got to keep getting better.“The urgency level has to be there.”Subban, a Toronto native whose parents were on hand at Scotiabank Arena, dropped to one knee and pumped his fist in celebration at center ice, before being congratulated by teammates.Rinne stopped Mitch Marner late in the period as Toronto managed just 14 shots through 40 minutes.Nashville, which came in having won three of its last four on the heels of a six-game skid, got a power play early in the third. The best chance came on a partial breakaway by Toronto center Frederik Gauthier Cal Clutterbuck Jersey , who shot over the Predators’ goal.Toronto got its third opportunity with the man advantage later in the period, but Matthews hit the post for the second time with Rinne out of position.Hutchinson kept his team in it with a glove save on Viktor Arvidsson with six minute left in regulation, but lost control of a rebound and Sissons scored his eighth with 2:37 left in regulation.Fiala added his eighth goal with 37.3 seconds left.Matthews blasted a shot off the post for the game’s first real chance before Filip Forsberg, who returned to the Nashville lineup after missing 17 games with a hand injury, forced a good stop by Hutchinson at the other end.With just two goals over his last nine games coming into Monday, Kasperi Kapanen hit the post off a nice feed from Connor Brown on an odd-man rush later in the period.NOTES: Leafs head coach Mike Babcock said before the game he doesn’t know when Andersen (groin) or Sparks (concussion) will return to action. Andersen has practiced twice in recent days. … Despite his prolonged absence, Forsberg’s 14 goals are still tied with Craig Smith for Nashville’s team lead heading into Monday.UP NEXTPredators:At Chicago on Wednesday.Maple Leafs: At New Jersey on Thursday._____ The Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers have had plenty of late-game fireworks in recent meetings.The Pacific Division rivals should be just as desperate for a win when they meet for the first time this season on Friday afternoon at Honda Center.Edmonton (10-10-1) will be playing its second game since coach Todd McLellan was fired on Tuesday and immediately replaced by Ken Hitchcock. The Oilers overcame three deficits on the road and beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3 in overtime in Hitchcock’s debut on Tuesday night, their second win in eight games.Article continues below ...“I told them I would coach them hard and they really embraced that,” Hitchcock told reporters after the win. “They have a lot of fun and they’re a loud group and that’s a good thing.”The Ducks (9-9-5) will be trying to ride the momentum of their previous game as well.Anaheim defeated the visiting Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Wednesday night, just its second regulation win in the past 16 games.The Ducks have earned enough points in that stretch Eric Tangradi Jersey Womens , while taking advantage of the downturns by other Pacific Division teams, to move into third in the division. Over the past dozen years, about 75 percent of teams holding playoff spots at Thanksgiving have gone on to qualify for the postseason.“We’re taking small steps right now,” said Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf, who has two points in each of the past two games. “We’re getting better and better. We’re going to continue to build and try to get this group pushing the right way every night and every shift.”Anaheim and Edmonton have appeared evenly matched the past two seasons.In seven of the past eight regular-season games between Anaheim and Edmonton, the outcome has been decided by one goal, including five that went past regulation.The Ducks also won a tight seven-game series against the Oilers in the 2017 Western Conference Quarterfinals. That series turned after the Ducks erased a 3-0 deficit in Game 5, scoring three goals in the final 3:16 with their goalie pulled for an extra attacker. The Ducks then won 4-3 in double-overtime to take a 3-2 series lead.In the third of four meetings between the teams last season, Anaheim forward Rickard Rakell scored two goals in the final 21 seconds of the third period with the goalie pulled, but Edmonton prevailed 6-5 in the shootout.In their final meeting last season http://www.officialislanders.com/authentic-adidas-casey-cizikas-jersey , Adam Henrique scored with 1:29 left in regulation and the Anaheim net empty, tying the game 4-4. The Ducks won in overtime on a goal by defenseman Hampus Lindholm, part of a 10-1-1 finish by the Ducks that allowed them to finish second in the Pacific Division.Lindholm has missed the past two games with an upper-body injury, and Cam Fowler, the second-most seasoned defenseman for the Ducks, was struck by a puck Nov. 12 against the Nashville Predators and had surgery Friday to repair multiple facial fractures.Anaheim has had to insert two more rookie defenseman into the lineup since those injuries, Andy Welinski and Josh Mahura, who joined two other rookie defensemen already in the lineup, Marcus Pettersson and Jacob Larsson.
