SAN JOSE Josh Jooris Jersey Womens , Calif. (AP) — Iabout the Nashville Predators–San Jose Sharks game, The Associated Press erroneously reported a quote from Rocco Grimaldi. The correct quote should read:“The first period, I mean, nothing else can be said about our first period. It was abysmal. It was really bad. Without Juice (Juuse Saros) back there, it probably would have been four or five to nothing after one. Instead, it was three, he gave us a chance, and we came back after the first and we knew that was not acceptable for the best team in the league, let alone a middle of the pack team in the league. We came out and showed why we are on top right now. We had a great second and a great third, and just because of that first period it ended up biting us in the end.”A corrected version of the story is below:Thornton’s 400th goal lifts Sharks past Predators 5-4Joe Thornton broke a third-period tie with his 400th goal, Joe Pavelski scored twice and the San Jose Sharks defeated the Nashville Predators 5-4 after squandering a three-goal leadBy GIDEON RUBINAssociated PressSAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — On a night when he reached an impressive personal milestone, Joe Thornton wasn’t taking stock of his career accomplishments.The veteran San Jose Sharks center even bristled when asked about it.“I’m just trying to improve my game Melker Karlsson Jersey , to be honest with you,” he said.All that hard work is still paying off.Thornton broke a third-period tie with his 400th goal, Joe Pavelski scored twice and the Sharks defeated the Nashville Predators 5-4 on Tuesday after squandering a three-goal lead.Marcus Sorensen and Antti Suomela also scored to help San Jose win its second straight and fourth in six games. Sorensen had two assists to give him six points (two goals, four assists) over his last three games.The 39-year-old Thornton is anchoring a third line that includes Sorensen (26) and Kevin Labanc (22).“I don’t care who I play with, I just want to play and enjoy it and have fun. That’s what you saw tonight,” Thornton said. “That was the purest form of hockey you can have. It was just a bunch of kids playing hockey. Our backs were against the wall, but we came back. It was just a great hockey game.”Filip Forsberg had two goals and an assist for the Predators, who dropped to 8-1-1 on the road. They lead the NHL with 27 points.Craig Smith added a goal and an assist for Nashville, which scored four straight times after trailing 3-0. Rocco Grimaldi’s breakaway goal at 2:43 of the third gave the Predators a 4-3 lead.“It was a bad start. That’s the only way to describe it,” Smith said. “We gave them everything they got. In the second period we did to them what they did to us. It’s unacceptable how we started. I’d rather not start 0-3.”Pavelski tied it with his second goal, 13 seconds before Thornton put the Sharks ahead 5-4 at 13:18 of the third.“It was an interesting game,” San Jose coach Pete DeBoer said. “I’m sure I’ve been a part of a game like that, but I don’t remember it and probably don’t care to remember it. The good thing is we came out on the right side.”Nashville had a six-game point streak snapped.“The first period Tyler Ennis Jersey Womens , I mean, nothing else can be said about our first period. It was abysmal. It was really bad,” Grimaldi said. “Without Juice (Juuse Saros) back there, it probably would have been four or five to nothing after one.

Grimaldi took his spot in the lineup. … Sharks D Erik Karlsson and C Tomas Hertl both reached milestones on Pavelski’s first-period goal. Karlsson’s assist was his 400th, and Hertl’s his 100th. Hertl left in the second period with a lower-body injury. … San Jose held the Predators scoreless on three power plays. The Sharks have allowed only two goals on 42 power plays over their last 15 games going back to Oct. 11. … The Sharks have given up three or more goals in 10 of their past 11 games.UP NEXTPredators: Conclude a five-game road trip Thursday at Arizona.Sharks: Host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. GLENDALE, Ariz. — When the calendar turned from October to November a year ago, the Arizona Coyotes didn’t have to look at a statistics sheet or analyze their upcoming schedule to know they were already out of playoff contention.Their 1-10-1 record told them that.The numbers — and their record — tell an entirely different story this season. While their 6-5-0 record remains modest, the Arizona Coyotes are beginning to take on the look of a team that could reach the Western Conference playoffs for the first time since 2012.Article continues below ...That’s one reason why the Carolina Hurricanes Tim Heed Jersey , just like the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Ottawa Senators before them, hope they’re not catching them at the wrong time.The Coyotes will try to win their fifth in a row when they play the Hurricanes at Gila River Arena on Friday night. It might seem like only a moderately long streak, but the Coyotes haven’t won that many in a row in five years, or since Oct. 26-Nov. 5, 2013. They haven’t win five straight in regulation since the final five games of that 2011-12 playoff season.“Hopefully it can keep going — we’ve got a good feeling in the room and want to build from that,” team captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson said. “It’s not fun to be out of the playoffs like we were last year in October. It means a lot to us to get a good start and feel like we have a chance to beat every team in the league. We’re playing good and building our game.”That game of theirs looks nothing like it did a season ago, when their goaltending was in disarray, they weren’t getting scoring out of anyone except forward Clayton Keller and their defensive system was a mess.Now, they’re beginning to create a stir around the league not just because they’re winning, but how they’re winning. Their 27 goals over their last six games (5-1-0) are the most in the league, and they have a 20-4 edge during their four-game winning streak. Their 1.91 goals-against average is the NHL’s best, and they lead the league with six short-handed goals — five in their last three games.In their last two games, they opened up 3-0 first-period leads against both the Lightning (7-1 win) and the Senators (5-1 win). It’s a major turnaround from the start of the season Alex Pietrangelo Jersey Kids , when the Coyotes were shut out three times while losing four of five. Keller leads them with five goals and three assists.“I didn’t feel panic in the guys (then),” coach Rick Tocchet said. “The one thing we were hanging our hats on was we weren’t giving teams much and the goalies (Antti Raanta and Darcy Kuemper) were playing great for us. I thought the defensemen were playing good, we just weren’t scoring. But guys were sticking with it, playing hard and (we thought) the goals will come.”The Hurricanes (6-5-1) wish they’d start coming for them. They’ve been held to two goals or fewer five times while losing five of seven, including home-ice losses of 3-2 to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday and 2-1 to the New York Islanders on Sunday.The Hurricanes are beginning a four-game road trip that opens up with back-to-back games against the Coyotes on Thursday and the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday.“We need to come up with some wins on this road trip, we know that,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We’re playing pretty good hockey, and if we get a few bounces here or there we have a different outlook. … We want to be in better shape (after the road trip) that we are now.”Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho has a team-high 17 points on four goals and 13 assists, and he joined Wayne Gretzky and Ken Linseman as the only players in NHL history to get at least one assist in each of the first 12 games of a season. No player has a 13-game assist streak to start a season.“He (Aho) is our special player, there’s no secret now, but he needs to be that every night,” Brind’Amour said.
