MONTREAL — Defenceman Madison Bowey is doing whatever he can to help Canada at both ends of the ice rink. Cyber Monday Rams Jerseys . Bowey has been a reliable player both offensively and defensively for the Canadians through three games of the world junior championship. The 19-year-old hopes that trend continues when Canada takes on the United States in the final preliminary game for both teams on Wednesday night at the Bell Cent re. First and foremost, I want to be solid in the defensive end, said Bowey after practice on Tuesday. Thats the main goal. But if I can chip in offensively, Ill try to do that the best I can. If I get a lucky bounce, and get a few points, thats awesome, and Im just going to try to keep doing what Im doing. Bowey is a big-bodied defenceman — hes six-foot-one and weighs 195 pounds — who was drafted by the Washington Capitals in the second round of last years entry draft. He makes good decisions with the puck, isnt afraid to finish a hit and is fast on his skates. The two-way defenceman plays his junior hockey with the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League. In 259 regular-season and playoff games with Kelowna, Bowey has amassed 55 goals and 164 points. And three games into Canadas current quest for gold, he has a tournament-high plus-7 rating, and he leads all Canadian defencemen with three points, including a pretty goal against Germany on Saturday. With the Canadians on the power play up 3-0 late in that game, Bowey crept from the blue-line towards the German net, waited patiently for the puck and fired home the insurance goal. It felt really good, Bowey said. Its a pretty high-end tournament, and to score a goal in it is pretty special for myself. If I can help the team win in any way I can, thats my main goal and thats what Im going to try to stick to. This isnt the first time the Winnipeg-born blue-liner is on the hunt for silverware while wearing Canadas sweater. Bowey helped Canada to hockey gold at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial tournament in Slovakia in 2012, and again at the U18 world championship in Russia in 2013, where he scored the game-tying goal in the final against the Americans. Bowey is making his mark on this years world juniors after narrowly missing out in 2013. He took part in Canadas selection camp last year, but was sent home after missing the cut. He says the last 12 months have been paramount in his development as a player. Ive improved a lot at both ends of the ice, he said. Im really calm with the puck now, and Ive had a lot of confidence with it. Playing defensively, I can really compete against other teams top lines and other teams top players. Thats what Im trying to do right now, and its going well. Boweys biggest test to date will likely come on Wednesday when he and defensive pairing Josh Morrissey — also a Kelowna Rocket — will try to shut down Jack Eichel and the Americans. Canada leads Group A with a perfect nine points through three games. The Americans are just one point back as they needed a shootout for one of their victories. The winner of Wednesdays contest will finish top of the group. That game is going to be huge, said Bowey, the only right-handed shot on Canadas defence. Thats what we all circled on our calendars for a while now. Bowey and Morrissey, a prospect for the Winnipeg Jets, have formed Canadas second defensive pairing since the start of the tournament, and they have been solid from the get-go. Madison and I have become pretty good friends over the last few years, said Morrissey, who was traded to Kelowna earlier this month. Hes a great player. He has a bit of everything - hes fast, he can skate, he has a great one-timer. Its a lot of fun playing together. Weve only been getting better as a pair. Added Bowey: Our chemistry is growing every day. Him and I are really good buddies off the ice, which goes a long way on the ice. We keep improving every day and thats awesome to see. We try to help each other out as much as we can. Bowey and Morrissey are expected to see a lot of draft phenom Eichel, who leads the United States with 14 shots on target through three games, though he has scored just once. The Canadian defencemen are well aware of just how dangerous the 18-year-old can be. Every top line, we have to know who were going up against, said Bowey. Being defencemen, we have to know what their weakness is and what their strengths are. Obviously, Eichel is a guy who has a lot of strengths, so we have to make sure we contain him well. Hes a big part of their team. Rams Jerseys Online . NORRIS COLE (Heat): Its funny, you watch a guy play and now really produce and it just jumps off the page at you - why? You put a young player with potential in a winning environment where there is veteran leadership, outstanding coaching and management and a way that things are done and its a wonderful environment for growth, improvement in a climate of constant accountability and expectation of achievement/production. Cheap Rams Jerseys . Kevin Durant certainly played like there was on Sunday night, scoring 36 points and grabbing 10 rebounds as the Thunder made quick work of the visiting Pacers with a 118-94 win. http://www.cheapramsjerseys.net/ . -- Raiders wide receiver Jacoby Ford made it through a third straight practice without any setbacks and expects to play in Oaklands regular-season finale against San Diego.ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlandos last-second victory over Western Conference leader Oklahoma City on Friday had the potential to be a season highlight for a team seemingly already holding a one-way ticket to the lottery. It turns out the Magic werent quite done turning heads. Victor Oladipo had 23 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter, and the Magic rallied to surprise East-leading Indiana Pacers 93-92 on Sunday night. Indiana stole Orlandos inbounds pass with nine seconds left and Paul George was able to get off a 20-foot jumper. But it came up short and was rebounded by the Magic, who ran out the clock. "Today going into the fourth quarter (coach Jacque Vaughn) just simply told us whoever plays hard is going to win the game. If you really want to win youll play harder than them," said Oladipo, who played the entire fourth quarter for the second consecutive game. "That second unit played hard, played together, and most of all we just played D, let our defence juice our offence." Orlando has now beaten the top teams in both conferences in back-to-back games, following its 17-point comeback against the Thunder. The victory ties the Magics season-high win streak of three games. It also extends their home win streak to five consecutive games. Nik Vucevic added 19 points and 13 rebounds. Vaughn praised the energy that Oladipo played with late. "It starts with his enthusiasm for basketball, and its really infectious to his teammates," Vaughn said. "They want to play for him, they want to play with him and Im sure glad hes in a Magic uniform." Before the game, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said that he didnt think his team was taking any games for granted prior to the All-Star break. He went as far as to recite Chuck Dalys old line to "never trust happiness in the NBA." There wasnt much Sunday as the Pacers had multiple defensive lapses in both halves which helped the Magic to hang around and eventually steal the game late. George led the Pacers with 27 points. Lance Stephenson added 16. The loss ends Indianas win streak at four games. Vogel said his teams inability to stave off a third quarter push by the Magic was the difference. "They piccked up their energy," he said. Cheap Rams Store. "Weve got to handle it. There was a stretch there in the third where we could have put them away. We were a little careless with some possessions ... and it was costly." The Pacers carried over some of their momentum from the first half and built as much as a 17-point lead in the third quarter. That advantage was cut to 10 entering the fourth. Orlando recovered some of its early-game energy, and started the final quarter on a 14-3 run to take its first lead of the second half -- 78-77 -- with less than 8 minutes to play. It would grow as high as 88-81 before the Magic cooled off -- missing four straight shots -- to allowed the Pacers to cut it to 88-86 on a 3-pointer by George. But the Magic found their shot and got their lead back up to six with just over a minute to play. Another 3-pointer by George on the other end trimmed it back to 92-90 with 37.7 seconds remaining. That was followed by an offensive foul on Oladipo which turned the ball back over to Indiana. George got free at the top of the key for another attempt from 3, but his shot bounced off the back of the rim and was grabbed by Oladipo, who was fouled. He connected on 1 of 2 free throw attempts, leading to a scramble for the rebound that ended up in a jump ball between David West and Glen Davis. West tapped it near midcourt, and George Hill was able to scoop it up and sprint ahead for a layup to cut it to 93-92 with just 14.9 seconds left. It wasnt enough, though. "We are good," George said. "This is obviously a game we got to take care of ... but we are still positive. It happens. We just have to do a better job and learn from this." And for the second straight game, the Magic were able to turn their early mistakes into late-game mettle. While it is only two wins, Magic veteran guard Jameer Nelson said they are certainly victories to build on for this young team. "Ive always said its a process," Nelson said. "Youre not gonna just become a great team overnight. Not too many teams have done that. You have to work on it; you have to learn and get better." Note: Nelson celebrated his 32nd birthday on Sunday.
