CHICAGO -- Eddie Lack got plenty of practice in his first NHL shootout.
T. J. Watt
Womens Jersey . He also got a win. Ryan Kesler scored the deciding goal in
an eight-round tiebreaker, leading Lack and the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2
victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night. Kesler fired a high shot
past Antti Raanta to help Vancouver end a two-game losing streak.
Mike Santorelli was successful in the first round as the Canucks improved to 2-4
in shootouts. Patrick Sharp had Chicagos only shootout score against Lack in the
third round. Lack, a rookie backup, said he got some advice from No. 1
goaltender Roberto Luongo and just tried to react. "When youre in it, you dont
really think about it," Lack said. "Its just like the AHL. Youre just focused on
what youre going to do next, and anticipate it." The Canucks were playing their
second game in two nights and third in four overall. But it also was a good time
for Vancouver to turn to Lack after Luongo gave up soft goals at critical times
in the previous two games, both losses. Lack entered in the second period of
Vancouvers 4-1 loss at Dallas on Thursday after Luongo allowed four goals on 19
shots. Lack made 24 saves against Chicago in his seventh start of the season and
game No. 10 for his career. Then he stopped Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews in
the shootout. Marian Hossa hit the post, and Lack poke-checked the puck away
from Brandon Saad. "He stopped some world-class players there in Toews and Kane
right off the bat, and that set us up for the win," Kesler said. Vancouvers
Daniel Sedin tied it at 2 with 9:12 left in the third period. Zack Kassian also
scored for the Canucks, who trailed 2-0 after Kane set up Kris Versteegs score
in the first, and then scored his team-leading 21st goal in the second. "We came
in late last night, and usually the first 10-15 minutes, you try to survive,"
Sedin said. "We did that, I thought we knew if we kept it close wed have a
chance." Kane has six goals and 14 assists during an 11-game point streak,
helping him climb into second in the NHL scoring race behind Pittsburghs
Sidney Crosby. He also has at least one point in 23 of his last 24 games.
Raanta, also a rookie backup, had 22 stops in his sixth straight start since No.
1 goalie Corey Crawford suffered a lower-body injury on Dec. 8. The Canucks
killed all four Chicago power plays to improve to 30 for their last 31 on the
penalty kill. Vancouver, which entered with the NHLs best penalty-killing
percentage, ended Chicagos string of power-play goals in 10 straight games. "I
thought our power play might have let us down a little bit tonight," Kane said.
"We didnt really create any momentum off of it and they probably got momentum
off them killing them off, so its something well try to improve on." The Canucks
had trouble clearing the puck early in the first and the Blackhawks took
advantage. Versteeg opened the scoring at 7:49 on a deflection of Kanes shot
from just inside the right point. Leveraging two power plays, the Canucks
dominated early in the second and launched the first nine shots of the period.
Raanta stopped them all during the flurry, including Sedins deflection from the
slot. Kane then capitalized on Chicagos first chance in the period. Lack stopped
Johnny Oduyas drive from left wing, but Kane jumped on the rebound. Kassian cut
to 2-1 at 8:19 when he snapped off a shot from the right circle. It went between
the legs of Chicago defenceman Brent Seabrook and past a screened Raanta.
Santorelli had a chance to end the game in overtime but he hit the side of the
net, just wide of the right post, after he broke in alone. NOTES: The Blackhawks
recalled veteran G Jason LaBarbera from Rockford of the AHL. With Crawford still
out, Chicago acquired LaBarbera from Edmonton last week. ... Vancouver was
without injured D Alex Edler (knee, eighth game) and D Ryan Stanton (ankle,
second game). ... Lack posted a shutout in his previous start, on Dec. 9 versus
Carolina.

Zdeno Chara already in Russia and four more players headed that way, the Boston
Bruins didnt appear to have even the slightest pre-Olympic distraction. The
Bruins closed out their surge to the Olympic break with a 7-2 rout of the Ottawa
Senators on Saturday as seven Boston players finished with multiple points.
"Thats something we talked about before the game. We wanted to end this on a
good note and feeling good about ourselves heading into the break and I think
weve done that," said Patrice Bergeron, who had two goals and an assist. The
Bruins won for the ninth time in 11 games with one loss coming in overtime and
enter the break with a large lead in the Atlantic Division and second-best
record in the Eastern Conference. Bostons spot in the standings was secure
regardless of Saturdays result. Instead of coasting into the break, the Bruins
closed with their first seven-goal game of the season. "Our transition was great
and thats why we had so many odd-man rushes," said Bergeron, whose only upcoming
break is a long flight to Russia to join defending Olympic gold medallist
Canada. "Im Really excited and now I can look forward to it a lot more." Fellow
Olympians David Krejci of the Czech Republic and Swedens Loui Eriksson added a
pair of assists apiece in their final game before Olympic play begins. "I liked
the way we handled that," Boston coach Claude Juliene said. "Its not like the
games we lost we werent very good. Throughout that stretch I thought the
consistency we were looking for was there and more." Juliene is also
Olympics-bound as a member of the Team Canada coaching staff. Bruins goalie
Tuukka Rask of Finland got the day off and Chara left Boston early to carry
Slovakias flag in the opening ceremony. Brad Marchand had a goal and two
assists, Jarome Iginla a goal and assist annd Reilly Smith a pair of assists for
Boston.
T. J.
Watt Jersey. The Bruins outshot the Senators 42-28 and chased Ottawa
goalie Craig Anderson after Boston took a 5-1 lead early in the third on a goal
by Milan Lucic. "This is one of those nights where we just have to let it go,
forget about it and move forward," Anderson said. "We have that no-quit
mentality and I think its shown over the last month or so. We have put ourselves
in a pretty good situation to be in the hunt and to be in the battle for a
playoff spot." Bobby Ryan scored in the second period and Patrick Wiercioch
added a goal in the third for Ottawa. Boston backup goalie Chad Johnson made 26
saves while getting the start for Tuukka Rask. The Bruins led 2-0 after the
first on goals by Bergeron and Chris Kelly, then pulled away with two more in
the second. Bergeron scored his second of the game with a series of moves that
left the Senators standing still as he made his way to the net and tucked a
backhand inside the post. Defenceman Erik Karlsson was bracing to block a shot
that never came and was caught standing upright as Bergeron skated around him,
then caught Anderson with another fake that sent the Ottawa goalie toward the
far side of the net. Bergeron neatly slipped the puck to the back of his stick
and poked it in as he went behind the net. Ryan pulled Ottawa within 3-1 on a
goal with 2:45 left in the second, catching Johnson offguard with a wrist shot
when the goalie was expecting a crossing pass. But Boston scored again just 1:03
later when Krejci slid a pass across the crease to Iginla for a one-timer, then
Krejci and Iginla assisted when Boston made it 5-1 3:35 into the third on a goal
by Lucic. Notes: Anderson allowed five goals on 33 shots. ... Boston D
David Warsofsky picked up his first NHL assist on Kellys goal with 3:34 left in
the first period.
