One thing the Nashville Predators have been under coach Peter Laviolette is honest about their performance. If they’re playing well Authentic Oliver Bjorkstrand Jersey , they’ll tell you about it. And if they’re not playing well, they aren’t afraid to air themselves out.That was the case Friday night in St. Louis, when a Blues team that entered the game with seven wins in 20 games boatraced Nashville 6-2, establishing a 5-1 second-period lead before Laviolette pulled goaltender Juuse Saros for Pekka Rinne.In an interview with Fox Sports Tennessee after the first period, in which the Predators got only three shots on goalie Jake Allen and fell behind 3-1, center Nick Bonino criticized the team’s performance. Afterward, teammates and Laviolette weren’t too far behind.Article continues below ...“There were things we did wrong right from the start to the end,” Laviolette said. “We made too many mistakes. That’s why we lost the game.”Nashville will try not to replicate that performance Sunday night when they open a five-game homestand against the Anaheim Ducks.At 16-6-1, the Predators are still tied for the best record in the NHL and own a three-point lead on Minnesota for first place in the Central Division. But they have lost four in a row on the road and their defense has shown weaknesses at times in the last seven games, when they’ve gone 3-3-1.“We didn’t play well defensively at all,” captain Roman Josi said of the defeat in St. Louis. “They had a lot of chances Ryan Murray Jersey , and the chances they had were really good chances right in front of the net. We have to play a lot better.”Fortunately for Nashville, an extended stay in their rink awaits. Colorado, Arizona, Chicago and Buffalo follow Anaheim into Bridgestone Arena, where it is 8-3-0 with five straight wins.The Predators will look to avenge a 2-1 shootout loss to the Ducks on Nov. 12, a game in which they put 35 shots on goal to Anaheim’s 30. But John Gibson came up large with 34 stops, plus three more in a four-round shootout, and Nashville was a brutal 0-for-7 on the power play.While the Predators are starting a long homestand, the Ducks are beginning a five-game road trip which takes them to Tampa Bay, Florida, Carolina and Washington. They embarked on the journey with two points in their pocket after a dramatic 2-1 overtime victory Friday against Edmonton.Nick Ritchie forced the extra period with his first goal at 19:43 of the third period http://www.bluejacketsshoponline.com/authentic-sergei-bobrovsky-jersey , and Rickard Rakell sent the fans home happy with the game-winner 14 seconds into overtime. It was his 100th career goal, but his first since Nov. 1.“It feels great,” Rakell said. “Any time you’re not scoring for a while, I knew I had scoring chances the last few games. Great feeling. Hopefully, I can play a little bit more loose now.”Gibson (8-7-4, 2.49 goals-against average, .928 save percentage), who has played well again this year, figures to get the start for Anaheim. Rinne (9-2-1, 1.66, .944) should go between the pipes for Nashville. He stopped 29 shots in the loss to the Ducks. GLENDALE Womens Seth Jones Jersey , Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Coyotes haven’t had many nights like this one. Same for the Chicago Blackhawks, at least before this season.Max Domi, Clayton Keller, Alex Goligoski and Tobias Rieder each had a goal and an assist, and the Coyotes pounded the slumping Blackhawks 6-1 on Monday.The Coyotes ended a nine-game losing streak to the Blackhawks and sent last-place Chicago to its season-high sixth straight loss.Antti Raanta had 37 saves for Arizona. The Coyotes’ six goals were their highest total of the season.”Sometimes you’re a little bit lucky and you can make the saves,” said Raanta, who had 40 saves in a shootout loss to Philadelphia on Saturday night. ”Play a couple of years, you kind of have a taste for what they can do.”Domi put Arizona ahead to stay just 92 seconds into the game. Zac Rinaldo provided a screen in front of Blackhawks goalie Anton Forsberg, and Domi’s shot went in for his fourth goal of the season.The 22-year-old Domi stopped a 21-game drought with his first goal since Dec. 16.”Winning’s fun, so it was just a lot of fun out there,” Domi said. ”Everyone was contributing and everyone wanted to be a part of it. No one let up.”Keller’s 16th goal made it 2-0 at 9:22 of the first. Keller passed from behind the net to Derek Stepan Sonny Milano Jersey , and Stepan’s shot bounced off Forsberg’s pads to Keller for a backhand follow.No punches were thrown in a scuffle between Jakob Chychrun and Chicago’s Tommy Wingels after Wingels leveled former Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson with a check early in the second. But Chychrun and Domi were given two minutes for roughing and the Blackhawks got a power play.Alex DeBrincat then scored the 20th goal of his rookie season, trimming Arizona’s lead to 2-1 at 4:33.But the Coyotes responded with two more goals in the second. Goligoski’s shot went underneath Forsberg at 7:06, and Rieder tipped in a power-play goal at 9:33 after Jeff Glass took over in net for Chicago.”We’re just trying to find something positive to build off of and just can’t do it right now,” Chicago forward Patrick Kane said. ”If we get down in a game right now or get behind, sometimes it’s deflating.”The Coyotes finished off the rout with Nick Cousins’ redirection of Goligoski’s shot at 7:11 of the third, and Christian Dvorak’s ninth goal with 4:22 to play.”You lose the game without even giving yourself a chance to get two points,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. ”That’s what we play for. We’re in the winning business and that’s what’s frustrating right now.””A game like this with guys scoring goals… I think it builds confidence,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said.NOTES: It was the 3,000th game in the history of the former Winnipeg/current Arizona NHL franchise. … Blackhawks G Corey Crawford took the ice and faced some shots during the morning skate.
