TAMPA Chris Bigras Jersey Womens , Fla. — Just two games in to the season, Stanley Cup favorite Tampa Bay is already under scrutiny as the Lightning head
into Saturday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.The Lightning, who have
endured an odd schedule to start the season, picked up two points in the opening
two games but were underwhelming in both performances — a shootout victory over
Florida and a late loss to the Vancouver Canucks.Tampa Bay was the highest
scoring team in the league last season, but has scored just two goals in two
games to start this season while going 0 of 8 on the power play.Article

Cooper said. “We are shooting some pucks at the net, but we’re not going there
with a desire to score. That’s what you have to do in this league, especially
with the goaltending and the way it is.“These are NHL goalies. You have to go in
there and get dirty ones. They are not all pretty. We’re probably resorting a
little bit to trying to get the pretty goal.”But captain Steven Stamkos said
it’s too early to start worrying about Tampa Bay’s ability to score goals.“We
led the league in goals last year, so it’s just a matter of time,” he said.
“That’s the least of our worries is scoring. That is going to come. It’s not
cheating because it’s not coming; it’s playing the right way and continuing to
improve. “The power play has to find a way to start producing … we have to work
hard as a power play if we want to be difference-makers out there.”Columbus is
getting contributions from its difference-makers Jack Johnson Jersey Womens , most notably Artemi Panarin, who had a goal and three points in a comeback victory at Florida on Thursday.Defenseman Zach
Werenski had a goal and two points, and Cam Atkinson notched the game-winner
late in the third period as the Blue Jackets have won consecutive games despite
missing All-Star defenseman Seth Jones and center Brandon Dubinsky to injury.“We
gathered ourselves and had an opportunity to win the hockey game,” Atkinson told
NHL.com. “We got it done. We’re taking the right steps in the right direction.
It might not be our prettiest, but we find a way to get it done.”‘But there are
areas that coach John Tortorella would like to see cleaned up going forward so
his players don’t have to rely on strong third period showings to collect
points.“I talked to (the media) after the last game. We win in the third period
and we win in the third period again, which is encouraging,” Tortorella told the
Columbus Dispatch. “There (are) some great teaching opportunities for us here,
as we found a way to win (Thursday’s) game. That’s the way I look at it.”
WASHINGTON (AP) Alex Ovechkin heard the chants loud and clear.”We want 50! We
want 50!”He didn’t need that extra encouragement. Ovechkin scored twice to
finish with an NHL-leading 49 goals and played almost the final two minutes of
the Washington Capitals‘ 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday
night in each team’s regular-season finale trying to reach 50 for the eighth
time in his career.The Russian superstar will have to settle for his seventh
Maurice ”Rocket” Richard Trophy as the league’s top goal-scorer and hopes his
recent run continues in the playoffs, where the Metropolitan Division-champion
Capitals will open against the Columbus Blue Jackets.”Effort was there, and you
can see I’m ready for playoffs in pretty good shape Brett Howden Jersey Womens ,” Ovechkin said after a playing 6:04 of the final 8:10. ”Still have a pretty good chance at the end. It is what it is.
Whatever. The most important thing ahead of us, and second season right now
starts in a couple days.”Washington won 12 of its final 15 games, and Ovechkin
strengthened his Hart Trophy case with nine goals and six assists over that
time. At 32, he’s the oldest player to lead the NHL in goals since Phil Esposito
in 1974-75.Ovechkin became the 13th player and first since Mike Gartner in
1990-91 to score exactly 49 goals in a season. His teammates did their best
trying to get him to 50, and Ovechkin attempted 18 shots and got eight on net in
pursuit of the milestone.”We look for him a little bit more than usually, but I
don’t know,” said center Evgeny Kuznetsov, who assisted on Ovechkin’s 48th goal
to reach 56 for the season. ”I don’t think he’s sad about he didn’t get 50, but
49 is still a good number.”Losing in regulation sends New Jersey to the Atlantic
bracket in the Eastern Conference to face the division champion: either the
Boston Bruins or Tampa Bay Lightning. It’s the Bruins if they beat Florida on
Sunday night, and the Lightning if they don’t.”We like our matchup against
anybody Paul Carey Jersey Womens ,” Devils center Brian Boyle said. ”I think we match up well against anyone. We believe in what we got going on here. We earned
the right to be in. It’s been a good season. The fun starts now.”The Devils
didn’t go all-out to try to move up in the standings, resting MVP front-runner
Taylor Hall, first-line winger Kyle Palmieri, top-six center Travis Zajac, No. 1
defenseman Sami Vatanen and starting goaltender Keith Kinkaid with an eye toward
the playoffs. Trade-deadline pickup Patrick Maroon had a goal and two assists,
and rookie Nico Hischier and Miles Wood each scored for New Jersey.”There’s a
reason that you got here,” coach John Hynes said. ”You have to have a strong
identity, which we do. You have to be able to play to that.”The Capitals’
identity is coming into focus as they go into the playoffs for the fourth
consecutive season feeling good about their game. Nicklas Backstrom, Michal
Kempny and Andre Burakovsky also scored against New Jersey, and Braden Holtby
stopped 23 of the 26 shots in his final chance to show he deserves to be
Washington’s Game 1 starting goaltender over Philipp Grubauer.Holtby is 14-2-2
with a 2.62 goals-against average and .914 save percentage in his career against
Columbus Chris Tierney Jersey Womens , which lost to Nashville in its final game while resting stars Artemi Panarin, Seth Jones and Zach Werenski and two-time
Vezina Trophy-winning goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.”They’re a good young team and
they have a great goaltender, but for me it doesn’t matter against who you
play,” Kuznetsov said. ”It’s just like a fun time. You prepare all year for this
moments.”NOTES: The Capitals rested RW T.J. Oshie, who has been dealing with a
lower-body injury. C Jay Beagle missed his third consecutive game with an
upper-body injury. … With the primary assist on Kempny’s goal, Capitals F Shane
Gersich picked up his first NHL point in his third game. … Ovechkin, Capitals D
Dmitry Orlov and John Carlson and Hischier played all 82 games this season.UP
