The Jets will play their first preseason game of the year on August 10
Josh Ferguson Jersey , which may leave linebacker Dylan Donahue at risk of missing the game.
Donahue was arrested in Billings, Montana last year on a DUI charge and a hearing on that charge has been set for August 9. Rich Cimini of ESPN reprts,
via the Billings City Attorney, that Donahue is required to appear at that
hearing and that would likely impact his availability for the next night’s home
game against the Falcons.
Two motions from Donahue’s attorney will be heard on August 9. One asks for the results of a field sobriety test to be set aside due to “improper and
unlawful seizure and arrest” while the other argues evidence obtained from “all
questions of drinking alcohol prior to a Miranda warning” should be
suppressed.
Donahue was arrested on another drunk driving charge this year when he crashed into a bus while going the wrong way through the Lincoln Tunnel. Donahue
checked into a treatment facility after that arrest.
Filip Forsberg’s apparent tying goal with 0.6 seconds left was disallowed due to goalie
interference, giving the Florida Panthers a 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators
on Tuesday night.
Viktor Arvidsson was posted in front of Florida goalie Roberto Luongo on the play, and his stick made contact with Luongo as he tried to shove in a rebound.
The puck slid under Luongo in the crease, and Forsberg swooped in for an easy
score. It was called a goal on the ice, but replay officials ruled that
Arvidsson had interfered with Luongo.
Luongo tied a season high with 45 saves, and Colton Sceviour and Jonathan Huberdeau each scored for Florida.
Roman Josi scored for NHL-leading Nashville, and Pekka Rinne made 31 saves. The Predators would have clinched the Western Conference with a win.
The Panthers are four points behind the Philadelphia Flyers for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference and five behind the New Jersey Devils with a
game in hand.
LIGHTNING 4, BRUINS 0
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Andrei Vasilevskiy made 33 saves
Braxton Miller Jersey , Braydon Coburn and Ryan Callahan both had two assists during a three-goal second period, and Tampa Bay beat Boston to move
into a tie for the Atlantic Division lead with the Bruins.
Brayden Point, Victor Hedman, Chris Kunitz and J.T. Miller scored for the Lightning, who had lost four of five.
Tampa Bay played without star center Steven Stamkos, who left Sunday’s game against Nashville in the second period with a lower-body injury. It hasn’t been
announced if Stamkos will play in either of the Lightning’s final two
regular-season games.
Tuukka Rask stopped 32 shots for the Bruins, who had gone 5-0-4 over their previous nine games. Boston has three regular-season games left.
JETS 5, CANADIENS 4, OT
MONTREAL (AP) – Kyle Connor scored three minutes into overtime, Patrik Laine added his 44th goal and Winnipeg earned its 50th win of the season.
Alex Galchenyuk forced overtime with a power-play goal at 18:18 of the third period.
Sami Niku, with his first NHL goal, Nikolaj Ehlers and Jack Roslovic also scored for the Jets
Ian Thomas Jersey , who ended a four-game road trip. Winnipeg, which had already established a club record for wins in a season, has taken nine of
its past 10 decisions.
Artturi Lehkonen, Paul Byron and Kerby Rychel also scored for Montreal, which lost its third straight game.
BLUE JACKETS 5, RED WINGS 4, OT
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Pierre Luc-Dubois scored in overtime to lift Columbus and keep its playoff plans on track.
Artemi Panarin tied it for Columbus when he put back his own rebound late in the third period. That set the stage for Dubois’ shot from the slot 2:55 into
the extra period.
The Blue Jackets are trying to get to the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time in franchise history, and for most of the game it looked as if
Detroit would put a crimp in their plans. Columbus had to rally from a 4-1
second-period deficit to get the two points and stay in third place in the
Metropolitan Division with two games left.
Cam Atkinson scored twice and Sonny Milano also had a goal for the Blue Jackets, who have won 13 of 15. Sergei Bobrovsky had 23 saves.
Jimmy Howard had 36 saves and Tyler Bertuzzi had two goals for the Red Wings, who ended a three-game winning streak. Gustav Nyquist had a goal and an assist,
Darren Helm also scored and Henrik Zetterberg had three assists for Detroit.
GOLDEN KNIGHTS 5
Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , CANUCKS 4, SO
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Shea Theodore scored in a shootout to lift Vegas in the final home game for Vancouver stars Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
The Sedin twins announced Monday they planned to retire after Saturday’s season-ending game in Edmonton. During the third period, the brothers stood at
the bench and waved to the crowd, who gave them a standing ovation. Vegas’
players banged their sticks on the ice.
Theodore, the fourth Vegas shooter, scored on a backhand in a game the Knights almost let slip away.
Bo Horvat, Brandon Sutter and Nikolay Goldobin, with his second of the night, scored goals 5:01 apart in the third period as the Canucks erased a three-goal
deficit.
Brandon Pirri led the Golden Knights with two goals in his first game of the season.
ISLANDERS 5, FLYERS 4, OT
NEW YORK (AP) – Mathew Barzal had two goals and an assist
Erik Swoope Jersey , including the go-ahead score after New York gave up a three-goal lead in the third period, and the Islanders beat the
playoff-chasing Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Tuesday night.
John Tavares also scored twice and Anthony Beauvillier added a goal and two assists to help the Islanders get their third win in eight games, but just the
fourth in their past 20 (4-12-4). Thomas Greiss stopped 27 shots.
Nolan Patrick had two goals and an assist, Claude Giroux added a goal and an assist, and Wayne Simonds also scored for Philadelphia, which squandered a
chance to move closer to clinching a playoff spot. Petr Mrazek finished with 32
saves while falling to 6-6-3 in 15 games since being acquired from Detroit.
The Islanders appeared to take control with a three-goal second period to take a 4-1 lead, but the Flyers – who were 5-0-3 in their previous eight – tied
it with three goals in a nine-minute stretch of the third.
DEVILS 5, RANGERS 2
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Taylor Hall and rookie Will Butcher scored two goals apiece, and New Jersey moved to the brink of its first playoff berth since
2012.
New Jersey moved within two points of ending its playoff drought by winning its third straight game and sixth in seven.
Travis Zajac ignited a three-goal first period with a tap-in tally 25 seconds after the opening faceoff, and Keith Kink
