Vorstellung des Teams » don’t see us doing the things

ANAHEIM Youth Corey Crawford Jersey , Calif. (AP) The Anaheim Ducks had the chance to move back into a playoff spot by getting a point against the New Jersey Devils. That, however, wasn’t necessarily their main motivation.Coach Randy Carlyle offered his team a day off if they won their final two home games before starting their last road trip of the season, and the extra incentive enticed the Ducks into smothering the Devils with their physicality.Brandon Montour scored a power-play goal, helping lift the Ducks into third place in the Pacific Division with a 4-2 win Sunday night.Ryan Getzlaf and Rickard Rakell each had a goal and an assist, and Jakob Silfverberg also scored for the Ducks, who lead Los Angeles by two points in the division. Anaheim won its third straight game and is 6-1-0 in its last seven at home.”These types of games, you’re fighting hard for those two points,” said Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm, who had an assist. ”Especially against a speedy team like this, you have to try to slow them down. That’s our kind of hockey.”John Gibson made 15 saves, improving to 9-2-0 in his last 11 starts.The Ducks held the Devils to a season-low 17 shots, clogging up the neutral zone and keeping New Jersey’s top lines from getting into open space. It was the second time this season the Devils did not attempt at least 20 shots Womens Duncan Keith Jersey , after being held to 19 at the New York Rangers on Oct. 14.”They were just all over us,” Devils forward Patrick Maroon said. ”We didn’t push back. They had the physical game going, and I thought we kind of shied away from them a little bit.”Kyle Palmieri had a power-play goal and Maroon also scored for the Devils, who had won the first three games of their six-game road trip. Keith Kinkaid made 32 saves, ending a four-start winning streak.New Jersey holds the second wild-card in the Eastern Conference, five points ahead of Florida.Montour put the Ducks up 3-1 at 7:55 in the third period, scoring down low off a pass from Getzlaf.Maroon cut the lead to 3-2 at 10:05, but Rakell scored 46 seconds later to restore a two-goal lead.”We felt like we had control of the game,” said Rakell, who has a point in 14 straight games against East teams, with 11 goals and 11 assists in that span. ”We didn’t get negative after they scored. We kept coming after them.”The Ducks took a 1-0 lead at 1:14 in the first on Getzlaf’s 11th goal. Kinkaid saved Rakell’s shot, but his momentum sent the goalie spinning out of the crease, leaving an empty net for Getzlaf.Silfverberg made it 2-0 at 6:37 by redirecting Josh Manson’s shot.Palmieri scored at 10:31 of the second to end the Ducks’ streak of 34 straight penalty kills dating to Jan. 23 with a sharp-angle shot from the left circle.”I thought Anaheim played a heck of a game http://www.blackhawksshoponline.com/authentic-gustav-forsling-jersey ,” Devils coach John Hynes said. ”You have to give credit to the opponent, too, for how well they play. I thought we weren’t as sharp as we needed to be and our puck movement did not allow us to access our speed.”NOTES: Devils LW Miles Wood did not return after sustaining an apparent right elbow injury in the second. Wood’s right arm was extended to play the puck when he was hit from behind by Ducks D Francois Beauchemin. … Manson sustained an upper-body injury in the first and did not return. .

For most of the evening, the Blue Jackets didn’t look like they belonged on the same ice with the reigning Stanley Cup champions.Alex Ovechkin scored his NHL-leading 22nd goal and Braden Holtby got his 34th career shutout as the Capitals stayed atop the division, moving three points ahead of Columbus.“It probably helped that we saw what didn’t and what worked against them in the playoffs last year,” said Holtby, who picked up his second shutout of the season. “And so our team knows you can’t play a soft game against them because they’ll turn it the other way quick. Tonight we played the right way and got rewarded for it.”Travis Boyd had a goal and an assist, and Brett Connolly and Dmitrij Jaskin also scored for Washington. Holtby finished with 28 saves.Ovechkin extended his points streak to 11 straight games, with 10 goals and six assists during the stretch. He also picked up an assist on Boyd’s third-period goal.Washington coach Todd Reirden said his captain is contributing in every possible way.“A lot was made of his leadership with us winning the Stanley Cup and the role that he had in it, but his leadership during the regular season this year is the best I’ve seen,” Reirden said.“That says a lot about him and how he’s really leading the way. He’s been more vocal, obviously his play has been exceptional John Hayden Jersey , and he’s been night-in and night-out a guy who has played at both ends of the ice and gave us a chance to have success.”The Capitals, whose three-goal first period overpowered the Blue Jackets, have won two in a row and eight of their last 11.Connolly started it 1:42 into the game when he skated in on a rush and poked the puck around the back of lunging goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.Jaskin got credit for a lucky tally halfway through the period when a shot from Boyd hit Jaskin’s left skate and popped over Bobrovsky’s shoulder. It was the first goal of the year for the Washington fourth-liner.Ovechkin’s goal in the closing seconds of the first period was anything but lucky. He was left wide open in front of the net to tap in a pass from Michal Kempny.After that, Columbus coach John Tortorella had seen enough and replaced Bobrovsky with Joonas Korpisalo to start the second period, which seemed to help.After a scoreless second, Boyd got his first goal of the season late in the third to cap the scoring.Bobrovsky had 10 saves in the first period for Columbus, and Korpisalo recorded 14 the rest of the way.“I don’t see us doing the things necessary to win hockey games at crucial times, and they did,” Columbus captain Nick Foligno said. “They played the right way. We were flat in the first and kind of got caught watching, and it was unacceptable.”NOTES: Columbus F Cam Atkinson had his points streak stopped at 12 games. … Columbus F Anthony Duclair was back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past four games. He replaced Lukas Sedlak. … Washington F Tom Wilson missed a second straight game due to an upper-body injury from a crushing hit by Vegas’ Ryan Reaves on Tuesday. … The Capitals called up Riley Barber from the AHL Hershey Bears on Friday to replace T.J. Oshie, who was put on injured reserve with a concussion.UP NEXT:Capitals: Host Detroit on Tuesday night.Blue Jackets: Host Vancouver on Tuesday night.
