Elias Pettersson was hard on himself

VANCOUVER Greg Pateryn Jersey Womens , British Columbia (AP) —after his first game back from a knee injury. His coach was more forgiving.Pettersson had a goal and an assist, and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Sunday.“I felt I lost the puck a few times, made some bad decisions, some turnovers. But I’ve just got to play it simple,” Pettersson said.The 20-year-old rookie, who ran his point total this season to 44, missed five games after suffering an MCL sprain against Montreal on Jan. 3.“I thought he was pretty good for being out for a bit,” Vancouver coach Travis Green said.“Whenever you miss (games with) an injury, and especially an injury that’s with your lower body Womens Luke Kunin Jersey , your leg, your knee, it takes a couple games.”Antoine Roussel scored the go-ahead goal in the third period, and Bo Horvat also scored for Vancouver.Pettersson’s goal gave Vancouver the early lead, but the team had to rally from a 2-1 deficit after an ugly second period.“We were lucky they didn’t score more in the second,” Green said, adding that he wasn’t sure whether to berate his team during the second intermission or just feel sorry for them.“I just said, ‘Hey, we’ve got a chance to win. If you haven’t been good tonight Marcus Foligno Jersey , look in the mirror.’ And give them credit — they did. They found their game. And when a team responds, you’re proud of them.”Roussel broke a 2-2 tie with 6:47 remaining in the game, tipping in a shot fired by Jake Virtanen. The play came less than three minutes after Bernier stopped Roussel on a breakaway.Horvat evened the game 7:27 into the third period, sweeping in a low wrist shot in for his 18th goal of the season.The tally broke a scoring drought for Horvat, who had 38 shots without a goal in his previous 11 games.“It definitely put a smile on my face to score a big goal like that,” he said. “It’s funny how it works. You have all these grade-A chances that all should have gone in and that one goes in, so I’m definitely happy to get one for sure.”Frans Nielsen and Thomas Vanek scored for Detroit.Jacob Markstrom stopped 35 shots for the Canucks, and Wings goalie Jonathan Bernier had 28 saves.Vanek said it was frustrating for his team to give up another third-period lead.“It’s tough. We’re all pros, we want to win http://www.officialwild.com/authentic-adidas-matt-dumba-jersey ,” he said. “It’s no fun when you keep losing, but I think at least we are at the stage where we are playing consistently well. There’s not bonus points for that unfortunately, but as a group we just have to put it behind us.”The Wings dropped a 6-4 decision in Calgary on Friday.“That’s the league right now,” coach Jeff Blashill said. “It’s so tight that when you get on a roll you can really get on a roll. But that goes both ways, winning and losing, and right now we’re on a roll the wrong way. We just keep finding ways to lose hockey games.”NOTES: Nielsen’s second-period goal marked the 450th point of his NHL career. … Brock Boeser had two assists for the Canucks. He now has five points in four games. … Detroit D Dennis Cholowski was a healthy scratch for the first time in his rookie season. The native of Langley, British Columbia, has seven goals and nine assists across 47 games.UP NEXTThe Wings will wrap up a Canadian road swing Tuesday when they visit the Oilers in Edmonton.The Canucks have one more game before the All-Star break. They’ll host the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The longtime voice of the Buffalo Sabres hasn’t been silenced after being wheeled out of the press box on a stretcher.Rick Jeanneret is “resting and doing well Mikael Granlund Jersey ,” the Sabres announced Sunday, about 12 hours after the Hall of Fame broadcaster was transported to the hospital during the third period of Buffalo’s victory over the Anaheim Ducks.And, the team added, the 76-year-old Jeanneret already is looking forward to returning to the broadcast booth following the NHL’s three-day Christmas break.The update came about an hour after The Athletic reported that Jeanneret texted the publication, writing: “Still kicking.”The Sabres did not reveal the reason why Jeanneret was hospitalized. He overcame throat cancer in 2014 and was fitted with a pacemaker in 2016.“On behalf of Rick and his family, we’d like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers,” the Sabres said. “Rick looks forward to being back in the booth after the break.”It was not clear exactly when Jeanneret would return to work. His age and health have led Jeanneret to cut back his schedule and call about half of the Sabres’ 82-game schedule.The Sabres next play at St. Louis on Thursday. Their next home game is Saturday against Boston.Jeanneret has done play-by-play of Sabres games either on radio or television since 1971, the longest tenure with a single team in NHL history. He was honored by the Hockey Hall of Fame with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award in 2012.Jeanneret opened the broadcast Saturday night dressed in a red Santa Claus suit and a white beard. He was walking around the press box between the second and third periods.He called the first two minutes of the third before the broadcast went silent for about 20 seconds and color commentator Rob Ray took over the play-by-play. Pregame and postgame host Brian Duff replaced Jeanneret and finished the gameJeanneret was sitting up as he was being wheeled out.He’s known for a booming voice capable of going from a low range to reaching a high pitch of excitement with each scoring chance or goal.A number of Jeanneret’s calls are among the best known in hockey.He coined, “La-la-la-la-la-la-LaFontaine!” when former Sabres captain Pat LaFontaine scored during his tenure with the team in the 1990s.There was Jeanneret’s “May-Day! May-Day!” call that came after Brad May’s overtime goal secured Buffalo’s four-game Youth Mikko Koivu Jersey , first-round playoff sweep of the Boston Bruins in April 1993. The goal sealed the Sabres’ first playoff series victory in 10 years.And among his most memorable phrases is when a Sabres player scores by flipping a puck high into the net, by describing it as: “Top shelf, where momma hides the cookies.”
