NEWARK Custom Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys , N.J. (AP) — in the last three games, New York Islanders coach Barry Trotz saw a lot of more things he liked against the New Jersey Devils.The Islanders competed, they didn’t have any letdowns after giving up goals and the coach got to see Mathew Barzal get a step ahead of the Devils’ defense in overtime.Barzal scored on a his own rebound after being stopped on a breakaway at 3:40 of overtime and the Islanders beat the Devils 4-3 on Friday after giving up a late goal that allowed New Jersey to force the 3-on-3 overtime.“There was more skin in the battle than we’ve had in the last couple games so I’ll take our game,” Trotz said. “New Jersey has been a very good team at home; they’ve been dynamite at home. I liked a lot of our game.”The downer was seeing Marcus Johansson of the Devils batting his own rebound past Thomas Greiss (39 saves) with 11 seconds left in regulation.While both teams had chances in the overtime, Barzal was the difference in sliding one past Keith Kinkaid, who had 31 saves.“Would have been nice if we didn’t give them that point but we’ll take the extra one and move on from there,” Barzal said after scoring only his third goal.Trotz was coy when asked about watching fleet-footed Barzal in overtime.“It depends; with or without the puck www.officialstarsproonline.com ,” the coach said. “With the puck when he has a step on a guy, you get pretty excited.”Jordan Eberle, Anders Lee and Nick Leddy also scored to help the Islanders snap a two-game losing streak and beat the Devils for the second time this season.Taylor Hall and Brian Boyle also scored for the Devils, who are 7-1-3 at home.“I wish we had a different outcome but unfortunately we didn’t,” Johansson said. “It was good of us to battle back. We did not get the start we wanted today. It was a tough game for us. I don’t think we played the way we wanted to. Instead of coming out, we had to fight our way back into it. We did a good job of that. We needed and wanted the two points.”Leddy had given the Islanders a 3-2 lead with his first goal of the season. It came after a highlight reel length-of-the-ice rush with 7:15 to play on which he put in his own rebound.New Jersey tied it at 2 early in the third period when Boyle deflected Blake Coleman’s shot past Greiss.

BUFFALO Dallas Stars T-Shirts Authentic , N.Y. (AP) — A day after the Sabres clarified several comments made off the ice, coach Phil Housley was impressed watching his team clean up its various mistakes and deficiencies on it.The power-play got goals from Casey Mittelstadt and Kyle Okposo, goalie Linus Ullmark didn’t have to resort to acrobatics in stopping 28 shots behind a tighter-checking defense, and Buffalo beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-1 on Saturday.“I think they refocused, but that’s the thing for me is that’s a tight group in there,” Housley said. “I think it just brought us tighter together, the things that went on.”Housley was referring to himself and forward Sam Reinhart spending Friday clarifying eye-opening comments each made following a 6-5 overtime loss to Carolina.Reinhart personally and publicly apologized to Ullmark and fellow goalie Carter Hutton Dallas Stars Hoodies Authentic , after saying he misspoke in saying “we need more from our goalies.” What Reinhart said he meant to say is the team needs to do more for its goalies.Housley clarified what some interpreted as him questioning general manager Jason Botterill, when asked to evaluate this group of defensemen.There was little to complain about against Detroit.The Sabres won for just the fourth time in 11 games (4-6-1) and improved to 10-14-5 since a 10-game winning streak in November briefly vaulted them into first place in the Eastern Conference standings.Buffalo began the day four points behind Pittsburgh, which holds the East’s second and final wild-card berth.After being outshot 12-4 in the opening period, the Sabres broke through with three goals in the second.Ullmark bounced back after allowing 10 goals on 75 shots in his previous two outings — and after Buffalo had allowed four or more goals in eight of its previous 10.“We mostly talked about how we’ve got to clean up our end, and I thought we did a terrific job back there,” Ullmark said.The only costly miscue was on Ullmark, who was out of position in allowing Dylan Larkin to cut Buffalo’s lead to 2-1 on a wrap-around goal with 2:46 remaining in the second period.“It’s definitely a bad goal on my part Dallas Stars Hats Authentic ,” Ullmark said. “Sometimes you screw up.”Okposo bailed him out 2:15 later by beating Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard high on short side with a shot from the left circle.Howard finished with 18 saves, allowing three goals on 12 shots in the second period. Detroit has lost two straight since winning five of seven.“Absolutely, it’s a tough one to give up with, whatever, 50 seconds left or so,” Red Wings forward Frans Nielsen said of Okposo’s goal.“But at the end of the day we’ve got to put more pucks in the net,” he added. “It’s not just bad luck right now. I think it’s on us. We’ve got to find a way.”Ullmark made a difference Custom Dallas Stars Jerseys , too.His best save came with 8:03 remaining, and immediately after Buffalo’s Tage Thompson squandered a 2-on-1 break at the other end. Ullmark held his ground to prevent Andreas Athanasiou’s attempt to beat him through the legs on a wide-open breakaway.Conor Sheary opened the scoring 75 seconds into the second period when he intercepted Justin Abdelkader’s soft pass at Detroit’s blue line.Mittelstadt scored nine minutes later by one-timing in Jack Eichel’s pass into the right circle for Buffalo’s first power-play goal.Buffalo’s power-play went two for three, and has converted five of 10 opportunities in its last four games after going two of 30 in its previous 12.NOTES: Red Wings D Trevor Daley is nearing his return after missing his 24th game with foot injury. Coach Jeff Blashill ruled out Daley from playing at Chicago on Sunday while saying he’ll have an update on the player’s status before the game at Nashville on Tuesday. … Red Wings LW Tyler Bertuzzi (upper body) missed his sixth straight and Blashill expects him to miss at least the next two. … Sabres Ds Marco Scandella played his 500th career game and Rasmus Ristolainen played his 400th. … With an assist on Mittelstadt’s goal, rookie Rasmus Dahlin became the NHL’s fifth defenseman to reach 30 points before turning 19.UP NEXTRed Wings: At Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.Sabres: Host Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.
