MONTREAL (AP) — It was only a matter of time Antworten

MONTREAL (AP) — It was only a matter of time before Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos returned to his goal-scoring ways.Stamkos scored twice to lead the Lightning to a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.The Lightning’s captain had been held scoreless in six games this season and had scored just two goals.“Any time you score and help your team win http://www.flyersshoponline.com/authentic-nolan-patrick-jersey , it’s great,” Stamkos said after his first multi-goal game of the season. “Obviously tonight was a big bounce-back game for our team, for our line.“Any time you can produce in a win, in an atmosphere like this, it’s icing on the cake.”J.T. Miller and Yanni Gourde also scored for the Lightning, winners of nine of 13 games this season. Anton Stralman had three assists.Andrei Vasilevskiy continued his dominant start in the nets, finishing with 34 saves in his seventh victory.Max Domi scored the only goal for the Canadiens. Carey Price made 32 saves in the loss.The Lightning improved to 6-0-0 against Eastern Conference opponents this season.The Canadiens jumped to an early lead when Domi scored on the game’s first shot just 58 seconds in.Domi intercepted a clearing attempt by former Canadiens draft pick Mikhail Sergachev at the blue line, sidestepped a check by Adam Erne and then fired a wrist shot past Vasilevskiy for his seventh goal of the season.“He’s one of the best goalies in the league, but you need to create traffic to get one by him,” said Domi, who has points in eight of his last nine games. “We didn’t do enough of that tonight. He played his game, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t score on him when he’s playing his game. We have to do a better job of going to dirty areas.“We didn’t do that tonight.”It was the third time this season Domi scored in the first two minutes of a game.After intense pressure by the Canadiens at the start, a boarding penalty by Nicolas Deslauriers changed the game’s momentum.The Lightning scored as Deslauriers’s penalty expired. Stamkos beat Price with a one-timer at 13:42 of the first.Miller made it 2-1 at 16:24 after a midair interception by Stralman gave Tampa Bay the puck in Montreal’s zone.Following a scoreless second period http://www.flyersshoponline.com/authentic-travis-konecny-jersey , Stamkos added to Tampa’s lead 52 seconds into the third with a precise wrist shot into the top of the net. It was his first multi-goal game of the season.“I’m trying to get back that shooting mentality,” Stamkos said. “Obviously, when you get one early in the game, you’re feeling more confident. Funny how that happens. I got the puck in the slot and knew where I wanted to go.“That one felt good. I hadn’t shot a puck like that and felt that release in a while.”The Lightning are 3-0-0 this season when Stamkos scores.“He’s a natural goal scorer,” said 21-year-old Lightning winger Mathieu Joseph. “You see it every time. What a shot he has. He’s dangerous every time he takes a shot.”Just one day after signing a six-year contract with the Lightning, Gourde added an insurance goal with 4:03 remaining as he swatted a loose puck in the crease across the goal line.Montreal finished 0-for-4 with the man advantage. Montreal has not scored a power-play goal in its last 15 opportunities.The Lightning have won five of their last six games against the Canadiens.NOTES: Montreal’s Phillip Danault played his 200th NHL game. . Canadiens forward Paul Byron (lower-body injury) did not play. He’s expected to miss at least two more games. . Montreal defenseman Karl Alzner was a healthy scratch for the ninth time this season.UP NEXTLightning: At Ottawa on Sunday night.Canadiens: Against the Islanders at the Barclays Center on Monday. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) The new owner of the Carolina Hurricanes has a soft spot for his team’s old identity – the Hartford Whalers.In the month since Tom Dundon assumed control of the Hurricanes, they’ve brought back the old ”Brass Bonanza” fight song, stocked the shelves in the team store with that beloved whale-tail logo and have discussed bringing back the Whalers, too – if only for a future turn-back-the-clock night.Under his leadership, the Hurricanes have done a 180-degree turn in the way they view, market and appreciate their past.”It’s ours, right? I mean Barrett Hayton Jersey Womens , it’s who we were. It’s part of the history,” Dundon said in an interview with The Associated Press. ”To me, it makes a lot of sense. … This was too easy. `How could I not?’ was probably the better question.”In the month since Dundon bought a majority share of the team from longtime owner Peter Karmanos Jr., the 46-year-old Dallas businessman has made several changes – most visibly, the embracing of who the Hurricanes were before they became the Hurricanes.That’s a drastic shift from their approach under Karmanos. He purchased the Whalers in 1994 and moved the franchise to North Carolina three years later, never looking back after seven consecutive losing seasons in Connecticut and complaints about attendance at what was then known as the Hartford Civic Center.That’s not the case anymore.The Hurricanes are selling Whalers T-shirts and jerseys – with that distinctive ”H” formed in the empty space between a ”W” and a whale tail – in their team store. They occasionally play ”Brass Bonanza” during stops in play. And Dundon says he’s working with the league on a plan to ”wear the uniform and sort of make it part of what we do” as part of a nostalgia night.”I think it’s really good-looking stuff, so for me it was like, this is great gear, and this is where we’ve come from, and you know, I think it’s fun,” Dundon said. ”And so for me, this is supposed to be fun Michael Grabner Jersey Womens , it’s entertainment, and we’re supposed to care about the team, and you see something like that that looks good and creates something to talk about and something to enjoy.”Not surprisingly, the Whalers’ identity has long had a strong sentimental attraction throughout the hockey world – especially in their former home.The state of Connecticut is selling Whalers license plates for $60 to help fund new facilities at a children’s hospital. And just last week, Gov. Dan Malloy issued an open letter to Dundon to invite the Hurricanes back to the Hartford area for an outdoor game at Rentschler Field, the UConn football team’s home field, or to play a regular-season game at their former home rink.Wrote Malloy: ”In short, the Whalers’ spirit is alive and well in Hartford.”In North Carolina, though, Dundon’s arrival and subsequent appreciation for the team’s green-and-blue past has brought some buzz back to a team that is making a push for just its second playoff appearance since winning the Stanley Cup in 2006. He also has quashed those pesky, persistent relocation rumors that have plagued the franchise for years.Dundon says his fans-first ownership style was influenced by a pair of Dallas-based team owners – Mark Cuban of the NBA’s Mavericks, and Jerry Jones of the NFL’s Cowboys. He ”had a front-row seat to everything they did” as the Mavericks transformed from cellar-dweller to NBA champion.”I saw what they did with that brand over 10 years, and I don’t think anyone would have believed that the Mavericks could ever be what they became http://www.sanjosesharksteamshop.com/authentic-brent-burns-jersey ,” Dundon said. ”And with the Cowboys … Jerry has a constant focus on engaging fans and bringing attention to that brand. He thinks, probably, way bigger than I do and takes bigger risks. He’s just a genius at how he operates that team. So I’ve watched these things. I don’t think I’m going to do anything exactly like anyone else, but I’d like to think I can learn from seeing it.””We want to make sure that the team’s interesting, and we’re interesting, and right now the story is, the team’s going to make the playoffs and there’s an ownership change,” Dundon said. ”Hopefully in the future, it’s about all the winning we’re doing.”—
