Winnipeg Jets 3 Chicago Black Hawks 1 (Jets 25-24-5, 12-14-1 road)? - With the win the Jets get above the .
Paxton Lynch Broncos Jersey .500 time since their New Years Eve win over Buffalo. The Jets are now 6-1 in the last seven
games since Paul Maurice came on board. It was quite a week for the Jets, as
they came out with four of six road points against three of the best home teams
in the NHL. It was a win in Anaheim, the first regulation home loss of the
season for the Ducks, a 1-0 loss in San Jose, and this win over Chicago, a team
that going into the game had only lost three home games in regulation.? Add the
home win over Toronto and in a stretch of four games in six nights, they picked
up six of eight points. The win was the first in seven attempts for the Jets on
the second night of back to back games. The first period was all Chicago.
Brandon Bollig with his sixth opened the scoring at 1:21, with the Hawks
outshooting the Jets 18-2. The Jets did not get their first shot on goal until
the 10:13 mark of the period. Al Montoya playing in his hometown was terrific.
It was not a great goal that opened the scoring, but the veteran netminder was
able to put it behind him and make save after save as the Hawks attempted to
blow the game open. The Jets were better in the second but it was still near the
midway mark of the period before they got their first shot on goal. Shots in the
second were 9-4 in favour of the Hawks, but again Montoya made a number of big
saves to keep his team in the game. Andrew Ladd appeared to tie the game, but
defenseman Sheldon Brookbank stopped a shot that was headed into the open side.
The one area the Jets did dominate in was the physical part, and by the third it
seemed to slow the Hawks down. Corey Crawford still looking for his first
shutout kept it a 1-0 Chicago lead with a number of good saves, his best off
defenseman Adam Pardy off a rebound. The next rebound chance the Jets had tied
the game as Blake Wheeler with his 20th of the year made it 1-1. Mark Stuart
shot it from the left point, it went off Evander Kane, Crawford made the save
before Wheeler buried it. That came at 8:16, with the Jets getting their first
lead of the game at 12:53 after a Marian Hossa pass in his own end ended up on
the stick of Andrew Ladd who snapped it low glove for his 12th of the year.?
Wheeler put the game away with an empty net goal at 18:45 on an assist from Toby
Enstrom. After a good shift by the Bryan Little line -- and considering it was
back to back -- Maurice wanted size and strength in a defending role, and sent
out Wheeler, Olli Jokinen and Dustin Byfuglien. That shift led to the empty net
goal. Shots in the third favoured the Jets 15-8. Over the game it was 35-21
Hawks. The Jets outhit the Hawks 53-17 with Byfuglien leading the way with
eight. Micheal Frolik led in shots with four, Zach Bogosian in ice time at
26:16, his defense partner Enstrom next at 25:07. Each was a plus two in the
game. After going without a goal in November, Wheeler has 16 goals in his last
26 games, and is 5-5-10 in the last seven games. “Its been a tough grind. Weve
played three of the top five teams in the league this week and the first period
showed just how tough it is. I cant say enough about what a character win this
is,” commented Maurice post-game. “Down one going into the third to the second
best team we felt we would just throw everything at them. If youre not out of
the game, it means you are absolutely in it.” On the play of Montoya who was
playing his first game since the coaching change: “He won us the game. He was
great. We asked him to be special and he was.”? The Jets are home to Nashville
Tuesday (TSN Jets, TSN 1290), Vancouver at MTS Friday (TSN, TSN 1290) then close
out the pre-Olympic schedule with a four-game road trip. Tuesday is “Hockey
Talks” night at MTS. Jets players will wear a #11 Rick Rypien jersey during
warm-up. The jerseys will then be auctioned off to raise money for mental health
awareness. Fans are encouraged to join the conversation by sharing personal
experiences or messages of support via social media with the hashtag

Adam Gotsis Broncos Jersey . -- The Windsor Spitfires were left with just one goaltender Tuesday after having their starter
walk out on them midway through Game 3 of their Ontario Hockey League playoff
matchup with the London Knights.
DeMarcus Ware Broncos Jersey . Murray, the defending champion and No. 3 seed, claimed his first match win at Queens in 2005
and went on to win the Wimbledon warmup three times. But he failed to take
advantage of eight set points after leading the first-set tiebreaker 6-2, and
Stepanek survived to convert with his second set point. CALGARY -- Martin Jones
made a habit of winning big games at the Scotiabank Saddledome during his
Western Hockey League career. Four years after guiding the Calgary Hitmen to a
WHL championship and a berth in the 2010 Memorial Cup, Jones made a triumphant
return to the Saddledome with the Los Angeles Kings. "I was excited to play here
for sure," said Jones, who made 24 saves to backstop the Kings to a 3-2 win over
the Calgary Flames on Monday. "I had four great years here. It was a good road
win. It wasnt pretty." Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist for the Kings
(38-22-6), who have reeled off eight straight wins. "Definitely we didnt want to
make it as interesting as it was, but yeah I guess it was pretty big," said
Kopitar of his third-period goal that put the Kings up 3-0 and eventually stood
up as the game winner. "It wasnt the prettiest win tonight, but at the end of
the day we got the two points." Kopitar commended Jones for his play in between
the pipes for the Kings. "He put on a really nice show tonight," Kopitar said.
"Hes been stellar for us. Every time hes been in the net, hes been really good
for us." Justin Williams and Trevor Lewis also scored for the Kings.
Mike Cammalleri and Brian McGrattan scored for the Flames (25-33-7), who lost
for just the second time in their past nine games at the Saddledome.
Coincidentally, it was the Kings who last beat the Flames at home on Feb. 27.
"The way we played the last seven-eight minutes of the game, if we had played
the whole game like that, the outcome might have been different," said
McGrattan, who has goals in back-to-back contests after going 29 games without
scoring. "We hung around the whole game. We came on at the end. We didnt give
up." Playing in his fourth straight game, rookie Calgary goalie Joni Ortio made
20 saves in a losing cause. With the win, Jones improved his record in his
rookie season with the Kings to 10-4. "Its a totally different animal being here
and at this level and in this dressing room, on this side of the ice," said
Jones, who played his entire WHL career with the Hitmen. "I just wanted to make
sure I stayed focused. I was excited to be here but wanted to make sure I was
focused on the task at hand here." Never drafted by an NHL team, Jones was
invited to L.A.s training camp in 2008 and subsequently signed a three-year,
entry-level contract with the Kings. With Jonathan Quick out of L.A.s lineup due
to a groin injury earlier this season, Jones was called up by the Kings and
promptly won his first eight NHL starts, three of them shutout victories. He
lost his next four decisions before making 25 saves in L.A.s 6-4 road win over
the Colorado Avalanche on Feb. 26. Quick played the next five games in net for
the Kings, all wins, before L.A. coach Darryl Sutter decided to give Jones the
start against the Flames. "He was really solid," Sutter said. "To be quite
honest, when we came back from the Olympics we started in Colorado and he won
that game also.
John Elway Broncos Jersey. . We were down 4-2 and he hung on and he won that game also. He did a good job in there tonight."
The Kings scored on their first shot on goal at 4:05 of the first when Williams
redirected a pass from Anze Kopitar past Ortio. Williams drove hard to the net
and attempted to get his stick on the pass from Kopitar, but the puck instead
bounced off his shin and into the net behind Ortio. "Theyre a bigger, more
physical team than us and I thought they imposed their rhythm right from the
start," said Calgary coach Bob Hartley. "They got that early goal and that kind
of put us on our heels." The Kings then went up by a pair at the 10-minute mark
of the first when Lewis tipped Slava Voynovs point shot into the top corner
behind Ortio, who lost his stick on the play when his own defenceman
Kris Russell accidentally knocked it out of his hands. The Flames had a great
chance to pull within one in the dying moments of the first, but Jones made a
shoulder save to stop a shot fired his way by former Hitmen teammate
T.J. Galiardi before sticking out his left pad to stop a backhand attempt by
McGrattan. Jones also had to be sharp early in the second period as he stood his
ground to turn aside back-to-back shots of the stick of Calgary forward
Paul Byron. Early in the third period, Jones made a shoulder save to stop
Calgary forward Mikael Backlund from scoring on a partial breakaway with the
Kings on a power play. Kopitar added an insurance marker for the Kings at 7:01
of the third when he tipped Drew Doughtys point shot past Ortio. A short time
later, Jones lunged forward to stop a point blank shot by Cammalleri to keep the
Flames off the scoresheet. With Mike Richards serving a delay of game penalty,
Cammalleri finally scored at 15:29 of the third to break Joness shutout bid.
Cammalleris shot appeared to deflect off Voynov before trickling through Joness
legs. McGrattan made things interesting by scoring with 2:22 remaining in
regulation when he spun around and fired a slapshot from the slot past Jones.
Notes: Injury woes for the Flames continued as a pair of rookies were forced to
leave the game. Markus Granlund played just 12 seconds early in the first period
before taking a hit from L.A. forward Jarret Stoll, forcing him to leave the
game with an upper-body injury. Defenceman Tyler Wotherspoon also sustained an
upper-body injury in the third period and didnt return. a The Kings played
without forward Jordan Nolan, who was assessed a one-game suspension for sucker
punching Edmonton Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu on Sunday. Tanner Pearson drew
into the lineup in place of Nolan. a After being acquired by the Kings from the
Columbus Blue Jackets at the NHL trade deadline last Wednesday, forward
Marian Gaborik is still looking for his first point with the Kings. Gaborik
played on a line with Kopitar and Williams. a The Kings improved their record
when leading after two periods this season to a perfect 21-0.
