Öffentlich » win over the Ottawa

A busy day for Paul Maurice ended with a win as he made his debut behind the Winnipeg Jets bench. It was win number 461 of his career, in his 1085th game as an NHL coach. The win snapped the Jets five game losing streak. The Coyotes opened the scoring on a power play, with Oliver Ekman-Larsson getting his fifth of the year, but 36 seconds later Olli Jokinen with his 12th would tie the game, with Dustin Byfuglien getting the assist. Late in the first Zach Bogosian forced a turnover, with Eric ODell notching his second in as many games as the first period ended 2-1. Coach Maurice reconfigured the lines going into the game, with Devin Setoguchi joining Jokinen and Byfuglien. Michael Frolik moved to the right side with Bryan Little and Andrew Ladd, Mark Scheifele centered Blake Wheeler and Chris Thorburn, with ODell between James Wright and Anthony Peluso. Evander Kane remained out of the lineup with a hand injury, while the defence remained the same as it was Saturday. Shots in the first were 12-7 in the Jets favour. The only goal of the second period came from Wheeler, his team leading 17th of the year. Scheifele had the only assist as he continues to lead all NHL rookies in assists with 17. Shots in the second were 13-6 Jets. The Coyotes started the third period on a power play and had some chances but Ondrej Pavelec finished the second with a couple of big saves and made a few more in the third when called upon. The Jets put the game away with Frolik breaking a 10-game goalless stretch with his 10th from Adam Pardy and Little. Setoguchi scored his first in 19 games from Byfuglien and Toby Enstrom on a power play to close out the scoring. For Setoguchi it was his eighth of the year in a game that he was very good in. Pardy how has four assists in his last five games, Byfuglien has three goals and five assists in his last six games, four goals and 11 assists in his last 15 games, and is 18 points in the 24 power play goals the Jets have scored this season. Final shots were 38-19. The Jets directed 73 shots at the Phoenix goal, with 21 missing and another 14 blocked. Byfuglien led the way with six shots on goal, Enstrom led in ice time with 26:21, Jacob Trouba was a plus-three, while Scheifele led the Jets in face-offs winning 14 of 20 for a 70 per cent success rate. Jets went one for eight on the power play but had 15 power play shots in the game. As for the game Coach Maurice liked plenty. "The compete level and energy level of our group. They did the one thing we had talked about that when adversity came to the doorstep that next goal was huge," Maurice said after the game. "The bench didnt get quiet, we stayed positive. It was really, really important that we scored that goal to make it 1-1. They wanted to get out of this, they wanted to make it better." As for the MTS Centre crowd and the atmosphere in the building, Maurice said it was "awesome, very special for me. I tell every rookie, you get one first game in the NHL. Soak it in, enjoy it and thats what I did. It was a special moment for me in my career." Asked what he told the players after the game, Maurice added"I normally dont talk much, but I congratulated them, thanked them, and then cancelled the day off they were supposed to have." Captain Ladd got the game puck and presented it to his Coach. "The puck means a lot. I will give it to my family," Maurice said post-game. As for his new team: "Weve got some speed, weve got some skill, but we still do things at times we dont need to do. We have to get better." He also liked the play of Pavelec saying "he was square and where he needed to be. I felt safe with him." The Jets travel to Calgary for a game Thursday (TSN Jets, TSN 1290) as they are in a stretch of five straight and eight of nine against Western Conference teams.

His next assignment could be relatively easy against the Carolina Hurricanes, who are struggling to find the back of the net and will likely be without their top scorer. Price looks to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a third straight victory tonight against visiting Carolina. Catch all the action on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal starting at 6pm et. The netminder made a season-high 44 saves in Montreals 6-2 home win over Los Angeles on Friday. The Canadiens (19-10-2) had 20 shots for their worst shot differential in a win since being outshot 49-23 in a 3-2 overtime win at Toronto on Dec. 26, 2009, when Jaroslav Halak was in net. Montreal has been outshot in 10 of its victories, with Price in net eight times. He owns a 1.67 goals-against average in his 16 wins. Price stifled the Kings until Jake Muzzins goal 3:35 into the third period. Hes a great goaltender and he has the ability to make great saves, said P.K. Subban, who had a goal and two assists. Its not a surprise to us seeing him do that but to be able to see him do it against one of the best teams in the league, thats what we need. Price has posted a 1.94 GAA in his last 14 starts after recording a 2.94 mark in his first 11. Price is priceless. You dont see a goaltender like him every day, Jiri Sekac, who had two goals, told the teams official website. Ive been around. Ive played in the Finals in the KHL. Ive played in World Championships. But Ive never seen a goalie like that. Hes amazing. Hes good every game. Hes consistent. Price is 6-2-1 with a 1.75 GAA in his last nine home starts against Carolina, including two shutouts in the last four. The Hurricanes (8-18-3) are tied with Edmonton for the leagues fewest points and have exactly one goal in each of their five straight losses.dddddddddddd They outshot Philadelphia 26-23 in Sundays 5-1 loss, but the issue has been quality not quantity since Carolina has outshot its opponent in every game during the skid. I dont think our execution was very good, said Eric Staal, who snapped Carolinas 0-for-14 power-play slump with a second-period goal. Obviously, its been frustrating. Weve played some good hockey before tonight, but tonight not good enough all around anywhere. Jiri Tlusty, who has a team-best 10 goals, didnt play due to an upper-body injury and is expected to be sidelined Tuesday after not practicing Monday. Elias Lindholm, who is tied for second on the club with seven goals, doesnt have a point during the five-game skid. Carolina has also struggled on the penalty kill lately, giving up three power-play goals on five chances in three games after holding opponents scoreless on 15 opportunities in the previous seven. We have to compete, have to be better defensively, have to manage the puck, have to move the puck better and thatll give us a better chance, coach Bill Peters said. The Canadiens have won five of six in the series and six of seven at home. Max Pacioretty has four two-point performances in his last six meetings.
