| as won six straight regular-season home gam |
| Winnipeg Jets 2, Montreal Canadiens 1 (Jets 27-25-5, road 13-14-1) - With the win, the Jets are now two games above the five hundred mark for the first time since starting the season 2-0. The win also moved the Jets to within four points of the final playoff spot. Four points separate spots 8-12 in the West. It was the Jets 32nd one-goal game of the season and the seventh in the last eight games. The Jets are now 8-2 in the last 10. The Jets last five wins have come against teams sitting in a playoff spot. After going winless in their first six afternoon games, the Jets have now won their last two. The first period was scoreless with both Carey Price and Al Montoya making a number of very good saves as the Canadiens outshot the Jets 12-10. The opening goal of the game came at 9:13 of the second as Toby Enstrom beat Price with a wrap around. It was Enstroms sixth of the season with assists to Chris Thorburn and Blake Wheeler. It was the second straight game that a Jets defenceman opened the scoring, after Zach Bogosian opened the scoring against Vancouver Friday. Montreal tied the game with the teams playing four on four, Brian Gionta notching his 10th of the year. Shots in the second were 13-9 in favour of the Jets. The Jets got the winner early in the third as Price mishandled the puck against the checking of Andrew Ladd, allowing Ladd to find Micheal Frolik open in front of the Montreal goal who scored his 12th of the year. Ladd has nine points in the last nine games. Jets outshot Montreal 12-10 in the third and 35-31 over the game. It was a wild third period with a number of net front battles at both ends. The game ended with a pile up in front of Montoya following a last second save. For the fourth straight game, Bogosian led the Jets in ice time at 27:30. He also led in shots on goal with six. Mark Stuart had five shots on goal as the Jets defence core accounted for 15 of the 35 shots. Dustin Byfuglien leads the Jets in hits and added to that total with 10. It was another very good game for Byfuglien. Mark Scheifele was a plus one in the game as is a plus 11 in the last 10 games. Coach Paul Maurice liked most of what he saw from his team, but there were areas of concern. "We did some funny things with the puck at strange time, but that will come. This was a confidence builder. Its not an easy building to play in. We were better in the third than in the first and second." Jets were guilty at times of not moving the puck quick enough, allowing Montreal to create turnovers with their forecheck. "Weve made pretty good strides in some areas", continued coach Maurice. "We are working on defining what Winnipeg Jets hockey is. Two goals, one is making the playoffs, but first is building a foundation for a game we understand. We are big, fast and young. Were using that." On the play of Montoya, "he made some great saves. Good for the team to know whoever is in, they have confidence in him. After the Chicago game we knew we had to get him back in. Not playing for seven or eight days is like starting from scratch all the time. This win makes the Chicago win even better." When asked about the play of Mark Stuart, who received the fighter pilot helmet from his teammates, "every game I get a far greater appreciation for the role he plays." Stuart was as battle ready as could be for this game with a number of one-on-one confrontations, but especially with Brendan Gallagher and Gionta. The Jets continue the four game road trip Tuesday in coach Maurices old stomping grounds, Carolina (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). Twice he was head coach of the Hurricanes. Then it is into Washington and St. Louis to close out the pre-Olympic schedule (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). The Jets will then finish with 22 games in 44 days, with 15 of the 22 games against Western Conference opponents.

Burnett made a couple of mistakes with his pitches and gave up the lead in the seventh inning. Patrick Peterson Jersey . And the young leadoff hitter kept coming through for the Miami Marlins.

Miles wants to see the same sort of fight that Indiana showed in the third period be a part of its game in every quarter.Miles scored 25 points, George Hill added 20 and the Pacers rallied to beat the Miami Heat 106-95 on Wednesday. Miles and C.J. Watson combined for 10 of Indianas 17 points in a decisive third-quarter spurt.It shouldnt take us to get hit to bounce back, Miles said. Its just about us going out there with a focus from the jump every day.The Pacers (12-21) have been staggered plenty of times over the past few months. From Paul Georges broken right leg to the series of injuries that once left Indiana without any of its five starters from last season, the Pacers have not resembled the team that pushed Miami to the limit each of the past playoffs.This time, they appeared to be on the verge of getting blown out after the Heat took a 56-46 lead less than two minutes into the second half. But Indiana stuck around long enough for its perimeter shooters and defence to get back on track.Miles knocked down two 3-pointers in the key 17-2 spurt, and Watson made four straight free throws to give Indiana its first lead since the first quarter. David West hit a 3-pointer from just beyond the top of the key as time expired in the third quarter.When the buzzer sounded, the Pacers had turned a 68-61 deficit into a 78-70 lead that had Miami (14-19) reeling.Indiana pushed the lead to as much as 85-72 early in the fourth.We didnt close the quarter out good at all, said Heat star Dwyane Wade, who had 20 points, seven assists and three blocks. Thats been our Achilles heel all season, its been the fourth quarter.Chris Bosh had 18 points and eight rebounds for Miami, which has lost three in a row. Luol Deng scored 15 points.Watson finished with 11 points, and Hill ended Miamis comeback plans with two 3s late in the fourth quarter.We just continue to fight and play hard, Miles said. We have 10 guys now that can play and everybody out there on that floor can make a play and can help our team.dddddddddddd___TIP-INSHeat: Danny Granger showed his former team he can still play. In his first game as a visitor at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the resurgent Granger finished with 14 points. Granger, Indianas first-round draft pick in 2005, had spent his entire career with the Pacers before he was dealt to Philadelphia in February. Strange, it was strange, Granger said. He was given a polite ovation when he first entered the game.Pacers: While Indiana leads the league in scoring defence and clamped down hard when it had to Wednesday, coach Frank Vogel is looking for more consistency. He said before the game that he wants his defence to dominate. That wasnt the case for most of the first three quarters, when Miami made nearly 60 per cent of its shots. But the Pacers allowed just two baskets over a 9-minute, 57-second span that changed the game. Miami wound up shooting 49.4 per cent.UP NEXTHeat: Visit Houston on Saturday.Pacers: Visit Milwaukee on Friday.HOME, SWEET, HOMEThe Pacers enjoyed seeing the Heat in town Wednesday. Indiana hes over Miami and improved to 2-0 against the Heat this season.CHANGING TIMESWithout George or LeBron James around, Wednesdays game had a completely different feel from the fierce rivalries of the past two years. The intensity was lacking at times. And while the game was an announced sellout, there were empty seats. The chants of Beat The Heat didnt emerge until the fourth quarter. Even the players noticed.A couple of guys actually said something about that while we were out there, West said. I guess these three or four games in the regular season throughout the last three years have sort of been big games. But obviously, this doesnt have the one-seed implications we were fighting for the last few years. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
