Knights the win to open their season-long

RALEIGH Womens Kevin Hayes Jersey , N.C. (AP) Two more goals for Patrik Laine. Two more points in the standings for the Winnipeg Jets.Laine scored twice for the second straight game and extended his points streak to eight in the Jets’ 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night.Laine had his third multi-goal game in the last four games and has seven multi-point nights during his streak. He has 10 goals and six assists in the eight-game stretch, and 35 goals overall.”I think I just tried to work hard every shift, and I think when you work hard you’re going to get rewarded,” Laine said. ”I’ve been working really hard and now I’m just getting rewarded. Things are going great.”Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist, and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 33 shots for the Jets. Winnipeg improved to 7-2 in its last nine to close within six points of Nashville for the Central Division lead.Teuvo Teravainen scored for the fourth straight game for the Hurricanes. Jordan Staal also scored, and Cam Ward made 20 saves. Carolina fell to 2-5-2 in its last nine as it tries to hold on to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.”We’re right there,” Staal said. ”I’m not sure what happened tonight. We’ve got to put together a streak here, and it’s got to be now.”Laine opened the scoring 5:40 into the first when he ripped a wrist shot from the top of the right circle through Ward’s legs. He nearly scored twice more in the first period, with a wrist shot that dinged the right post and a slapshot that rang off the crossbar.”I was pretty mad to myself,” Laine said. ”I should’ve scored from those chances. I thought, `They’re not going to pass to me any more if I can’t bury it from those passes.'”The Hurricanes pulled even with 1:29 left in the opening period. Right as a power play ended, Teravainen fired a pass toward the Winnipeg crease that was intended for Staal, but the puck instead bounced up off Jets defenseman Dmitry Kulikov’s chest and into the net.But Laine struck again just 2:37 into the second period, and six seconds into a power play Kevin Shattenkirk Jersey , with another wrist shot through Ward’s legs, this time from the left faceoff circle.”It comes off his stick different,” Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. ”It comes jumping off his stick. He’s real dangerous right now.”Stastny added insurance with an unusual goal midway through the third period. Ben Chiarot’s wrist shot rang off the right post and redirected to the left side of the ice, where it hit referee Eric Furlatt in the side of the face.With Furlatt recoiling in pain and players across the ice adjusting to the puck’s sudden change in position, Stastny picked up the loose puck and fired it into the net.”I didn’t really see anything,” Stastny said. ”I just heard it hit post or crossbar. Literally know where it went, then all the sudden I realized it was in front of me and then out of the corner of my eye saw the goalie out of position.”The fluky goal would prove critical when Staal fired home a rebound with 4:12 remaining.”A few games ago we had some odd bounce off the ref and they blew it down and they said they wouldn’t allow a goal like that,” Staal said. ”It was tough, obviously, to watch that go in. That was tough.”NOTES: The Jets are 4-0-1 in their last five road games. … Hurricanes F Sebastian Aho notched his 100th NHL point with an assist on Teravainen’s goal. … Jets D Toby Enstrom missed his third straight game with a lower body injury. He is day-to-day. … Jets coach Paul Maurice was the Hurricanes’ coach from 1997-2004 and 2009-12.UP NEXTJets: At New York Rangers on Tuesday night.Hurricanes: At Minnesota on Tuesday night. The Buffalo Sabres won more than a game Saturday night.They won their fans back, for now.When they lost their season opener 4-0 at home to the Boston Bruins Thursday, the Sabres were booed.Article continues below ...The Sabres heard cheers Saturday when they defeated the New York Rangers 3-1 at KeyBank Center as Conor Sheary scored twice and Carter Hutton made 43 saves.The Sabres (1-1-0) will face a more difficult opponent Monday afternoon when they face the Vegas Gold Knights (1-1-0), the Stanley Cup finalists last season who came back Saturday to defeat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 in a shootout.Hutton said he is looking forward to the challenge presented by the Golden Knights, who added former Montreal Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty and former St. Louis Blues center Paul Stastny during the offseason.“They transition really fast http://www.newyorkrangersteamonline.com/authentic-marc-staal-jersey , turn pucks over on you and come at you,” said Hutton, who played for the Blues the past two seasons. “Stastny is like a Swiss army knife. He can do it all. He’s a great pro, good friend of mine. It will be fun to play against him, funny to see him in a Vegas jersey.”Hutton, who signed with the Sabres as a free agent, has a goals-against average of 2.09 in his first two games, the same as he had in 32 games last season for St. Louis.“It’s really something else what he did (Saturday) night,” Sabres defenseman Casey Nelson said at practice on Sunday. “He won us a game for sure. That’s what we needed. It was awesome to see him have a big game for us.”Hutton earned a standing ovation when he stopped a three-on-none break by the Rangers in the second period on Saturday.“It gives your team a boost of energy and confidence knowing you have a guy who can make a save when you really need it,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said. “He’s a very good veteran. Says the right things in the room and is a very likable guy but at the time he says what’s on his chest. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran or rookie, he’s going to leave it out there. I think that guys respect that.”The Sabres had lost six straight home games dating to last season before Saturday.The Golden Knights also had an uplifting victory on Saturday at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.Pacioretty tied the game with 1:31 remaining in the third period with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury removed for an extra attacker. Erik Haula then scored the only goal in the shootout to give the Knights the win to open their season-long five-game road trip.“Sometimes results don’t happen there, but they were playing well, and they kept pushing it and pushing it Authentic Mats Zuccarello Jersey , and it paid off,” Knights coach Gerard Gallant said. “The hockey gods came through late in the game when we played really good. The guys stuck with it. They played hard, and they played our game.”“We really liked our game,” said Pacioretty, who was acquired in a trade with Montreal last month. “We liked our close support, we liked how we were fast on pucks. We were creating turnovers and getting chances, hit some posts, missed some open chances. We knew eventually it would come. That’s just the way it works.”The Golden Knights had lost their season opener 5-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers at home and Fleury lasted just 30:11, allowing five goals on 16 shots, but his defense deserted him.Vegas made up for that Saturday, holding a 42-30 advantage in shots on goal.Center Johan Larsson (lower-body injury) practiced Sunday with the Sabres but Housley said it has not been determined if he will play Monday. He was injured Sept. 26.
