The Predators had won two in a row, and Rinne was 10-0-1 in his previous 11.”We’re not working hard enough, I don’t know what else to say,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. ”If you don’t invest a lot Cam Ward Jersey Womens , you won’t like it at the end. The stretches that aren’t going our way are the stretches that we’re getting outplayed. It’s because we’re missing some bite in our game.”Jankowski gave Calgary its first lead at 3:24 of the third, capping a tic-tac-toe passing play with Takchuk and Sam Bennett with a tap-in from just outside the crease. Lazar’s wrist shot from the right side beat Rinne high to the glove side at 10:14 of the third to make it 4-2.Nashville drew within a goal at 12:19 of the third when Bonino redirected a pass from Pontus Aberg by Rittich.Rittich’s stopped P.K.

From inside the Nashville blue line, Weber’s pass sent Viktor Arvidsson in on a breakaway. Arvidsson’s wrist shot from the slot hit the right post, but Weber hustled to follow the play and put the rebound past Rittich.”I think they showed that this kind of hockey that we’ve been playing recently is not going to win us games in the playoffs and down the stretch,” Weber said. ”It’s definitely a wakeup call that we can’t just watch and be satisfied and think we still win every game. Maybe we needed that one. It shows us that we do have to go back to the way we need to have success.”Hamilton tied it at 14:28 of the second. At the tail end of a full 2:00 5-on-3 advantage, Hamilton snapped a wrist shot from the high slot just underneath the crossbar.

After earning their first road win nearly a month into the season, the New York Rangers will try to make it two in a row when they face the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night at Honda Center.The Rangers (4-7-1) gave up another last-minute goal on Tuesday night to the San Jose Sharks, but rebounded to win 4-3 in the shootout and improve to 1-4-1 on the road this season.The win came two days after the Rangers blew a two-goal lead at the Los Angeles Kings and later surrendered the tiebreaking goal with 55 seconds left in a 4-3 loss.Article continues below ...“We’re learning Anders Lee Jersey ,” New York first-year coach David Quinn told reporters after the win in San Jose. “We’ve got to learn to close games out.”The loss to Los Angeles allowed the Kings to end a six-game losing streak, and next the Rangers will face an Anaheim team that has lost six in a row.The Ducks (5-6-2) can relate to New York’s late-game frustrations. They tied the score against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers at 17:48 of the third period on Tuesday, only to give up the go-ahead goal 21 seconds later in the 3-2 defeat.“That’s as high and low as you get in a matter of seconds,” Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf said.The season so far has been a roller coaster for Anaheim, which got off to a 5-1-1 start, despite numerous injuries that have forced coach Randy Carlyle to play a half-dozen rookies so far.One of the standouts recently has been left wing Pontus Aberg, who has scored four goals in the past two games to take over the team lead.
