Youth Jamie McGinn Jersey

NEWARK http://www.floridapanthersteamshops.com/authentic-aleksander-barkov-jersey , N.J. (AP) � Sharp in Europe, the New Jersey Devils played equally well at home.Kyle Palmieri scored twice, Keith Kinkaid made 21 saves and the Devils came back from a season-opening win in Sweden by routing the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals 6-0 Thursday night in their first game at a packed Prudential Center.Marcus Johansson, Blake Coleman, Jean-Sebastien Dea and Brian Boyle also scored. In their previous game, the Devils beat Edmonton 5-2 overseas last weekend�We continued the way we played in Sweden and were on top of them early,� Palmieri said. �I think all four lines, the defense, and Keith, all had a great game.�No disputing that, considering the Devils� past woes against the Capitals. Washington was 14-1-2 in the previous 17 meetings.The Devils� defense did an outstanding job stifling the Capitals, who had scored 18 goals in the first three games.Now it�s the Devils who have turned into an early-season juggernaut with 11 goals in two games.�We�re not taking too many risks and it�s about possessing the puck and making high percentage plays,� Palmieri said. �We�re fortunate enough that the pucks are ending up in the back of the net.�New Jersey also was able to keep the high-octane Capitals in check.�They have so much firepower Evgenii Dadonov Jersey Kids ,� Taylor Hall said. �They had a lot of Grade A chances and Keith came up big. There are still some things to work on, but overall, anytime you can shut a team like that out, especially on the power play, you�re going to win a game.�Pheonix Copley stopped 30 shots in his Capitals� debut. He made some big stops early and didn�t have a lot of defensive support.�There were some good things and obviously some bad,� Copley said. �I can watch a video and learn from what happened.�Palmieri scored twice in the first period to stake the Devils to a 2-0 lead. The Devils had the better jump at the start, outshooting the Capitals 13-6 over the first 20 minutes.Washington, playing back-to-back after an emotional 5-2 win over Vegas on Wednesday in a rematch of the Stanley Cup final, started a step slow and New Jersey capitalized.�It felt like they had six or seven guys out there,� Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen said. �They were skating on ice. We were skating through mud. Give them some credit because they played really well, and we were not very good.�Palmieri put the Devils on the board at 7:02 on a shot that glanced off his skate in a goalmouth scramble.His second goal was a power-play drive from the top of the right circle at 18:33.That gave Palmieri four goals in his first four periods of the season. It was also the 16th time he has scored at least two goals in a game.Hopes for a Washington rally in the second were quickly dashed when Johansson scored against his former team 2:54 into the period. His shot from the blue line found the net behind a badly screened Copley.Copley kept the Caps in the contest early in the third, stopping Taylor Hall on a short-handed breakaway.Coleman put the game out of reach at 4-0 when he beat Copley to the short side from a sharp angle at 5:49. Dea added an insurance tally at 11:35 while Boyle scored with 5:15 left, giving each member of the Devils fourth line a third-period goal.The remaining drama centered on Kinkaid�s bid for a fifth career shutout. He made an outstanding stop on Jakub Vrana Youth Jamie McGinn Jersey , stretching out to make a pad save midway through the period.NOTES: This was the first of four straight home games for New Jersey. � Kinkaid will carry the goaltending load as Cory Schneider continues his recovery from offseason hip surgery. Schneider has resumed skating with the team. � Hall was greeted by �MVP� chants as last year�s Hart Trophy winner was introduced to the crowd. � New Jersey scratched defensemen Eric Gryba, Steve Santini and RW Drew Stafford. The Washington scratches were C Jayson Magna, D Madison Bowey, RW Tom Wilson and LW Nathan Walker.UP NEXTWashington: Hosts Toronto on Saturday.New Jersey: Hosts San Jose on Sunday. SEA ISLAND, Ga. (AP) � Seattle is one step away from landing an NHL franchise.Team and city executives have already secured more than 30,000 season-ticket deposits, got an arena plan passed through local government and wowed the executive committee of owners. It all pays off Tuesday when the NHL Board of Governors is expected to approve Seattle as the home of the league�s 32nd franchise.�Seattle�s one of the fastest-growing cities in the country,� Commissioner Gary Bettman said recently. �It gives us a geographic balance. It creates a nice geographic rivalry with Vancouver. I know Vancouver�s particularly excited about the possibility. The ownership group, the plans for the arena � it�s all of the above. It�s never one factor. If you�re going to have a successful expansion application, all of the bases need to be touched and all of them need to be checked off as being appropriate and right.�Timing is the only question.Renovations to the downtown arena that will be the team�s home are scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2020. The uncertainty could lead the NHL to leave the door open to a 2020 or 2021 start or push it back just to be safe.�Right now everything we�ve done is kind of geared toward 2020,� Seattle Hockey Partners senior adviser Dave Tippett said. �If we can do it in 2020 (we will), but the other thing is you don�t want to start it being a month on the road or something, either.�It�s more about when than if Womens Jared McCann Jersey , given the success of the Vegas Golden Knights� expansion and the $650 million the new owners will pay to join. Seattle is the largest U.S. city without a major winter sports team since the NBA�s SuperSonics left in 2008 and it gives the NHL another big TV market.�It�s a big city now. It�s a relatively wealthy place. There�s an awful lot going on between Boeing and the whole computer industry and all the rest of that stuff,� NHL Players� Association executive director Don Fehr said. �It nests very nicely with the teams that are already in the Pacific Northwest. And it gives us 32, which gives us the balance that you would want. In addition to that, when you�re looking at markets, if you really want to be a North American league, you want to be in the markets that matter when you can figure out a way to do it, and Seattle is certainly one of those.�Tippett could feel the excitement building when he was back in Arizona over the Thanksgiving holiday, noting that people told him on the golf course they hoped Seattle would get a team.The board�s executive committee voted unanimously in October to push the expansion bid forward and Bettman said he anticipated the full board doing the same. Approval requires a three-quarters vote.�This can work long term,� Seattle Hockey President and CEO Tod Leiweke said. �We have the right building plan, we have the support from the city, the fans are there.�Fans will be watching Tuesday morning at a Seattle tavern when the board is expected to give final approval. Next steps will include moving forward on arena and practice facility plans and piecing together a hockey operations department that Tippett will likely be in charge of.Before considering expansion, the board opens its annual two-day December meeting Monday with updates on the state of the league�s business and hockey operations. The board is also expected to be briefed on collective bargaining talks and the tentative settlement of a concussion lawsuit involving retired players.
