Winnipeg Jets 5 Nashville Predators 0 – For the first time this season the Winnipeg Jets have won back to back home games. The Jets rode a four goal first period and a 41 save shutout by Ondrej Pavelec to their seventh victory of the year. They evened their home record at 5-5-1 as they started a stretch of six of eight games at MTS Centre. Sunday the San Jose Sharks are the visitors. (TSN Jets, TSN 1290) For the second straight home game, Bryan Little opened the scoring with assists to Andrew Ladd and Blake Wheeler. It was Littles ninth of the year and 16th career game winning goal. He has now scored seven goals in the past nine games. Coach Claude Noel put that line back together for the third period of Wednesdays game in Chicago, and elected to leave them together on the basis they have played together a lot over the past few seasons, they enjoy playing as a unit, and perhaps looking for their leadership to put some consistency into the Jets game. Olli Jokinen would make it 2-0 3:43 later and 1:36 after that Eric Tangradi would score his first of the year to make it 3-0 and chase Predators goaltender Carter Hutton. The goal came off a slap shot from the point by Dustin Byfuglien, and for most of the night was Byfugliens first of the season. But the goal was further reviewed post-game, and it was ruled that Tangradi did get a piece of the shot. Devin Setoguchi scored his fourth of the season before the period was over. Setoguchi is on a three game point streak (2-2-4). Jokinen had a two point period while Keaton Ellerby picked up his first point of the season. For goaltender Marek Mazanec it was his first NHL action. The Predators came out a little angry to start the second and fired 15 shots at Pavelec and crashed the net at every opportunity. Jets Coach Claude Noel felt they were fortunate to come out of the second with the 4-0 lead. The third period was controlled more by the Predators as they outshot the Jets 17-9. It was not an easy shut out for Pavelec, in fact that is the most shots he has faced in his 11 career shutouts. It was his first shutout against Nashville and his first of the year. Little would add his second of the game to put him at 10 in the first 18 games. It was his 16th career two goal game, and he does have one hat-trick. Ladd has assisted on seven of Littles 10 goals this season. "This is not going to last all year but I will enjoy it for now," said Little after the game. He is on pace for a 45 goal season. His previous high was 31 in the 08/09 season in Atlanta. Going back to last year, in the 31 wins the Jets have recorded the Ladd-Little-Wheeler line has combined for 106 points. In the 35 losses they have combined for 53 points. Coach Noel was quick to say he did not consider this a response game for Pavelec, but just another game. "He was very good. We gave up some quality chances," said Noel. "It was not necessarily a clinic but well take one of these." The Jets have been involved in nine one goal games. Jokinen won 14 of 22 face-offs for a 64% success rate while Little led in shots with five. Ladd, Jokinen, Little and Wheeler all had two point nights. The three first period goals came in a span of 5:19. Evander Kane was back in the lineup after missing the last two games. He played 16:16, with three shots on goal, another four that missed the net, and one assist, while playing on the line with Jokinen and Setoguchi. The power play was zero for three and has fallen to a single digit success rate, while the penalty kill was four for four and is operating at over 90% in the past 13 games. Over the last seven games the Jets have killed 21 of 22. Jets were again minus Paul Postma, Mark Stuart, Jacob Trouba and Jim Slater due to injury, while Anthony Peluso and Zach Redmond were healthy scratches. Trouba did join his teammates on the ice at the morning skate, but there is no timeline for his return.

After a rocky middle of the season, the Red Bulls (10-8-16) won their most important game of the season -- even without leading scorer Thierry Henry -- to pull into a tie with Houston for the ninth seed of 10 playoff spots. Depending on what the Dynamo does in its game against Los Angeles Sunday, the Red Bulls will have a single-elimination wild card play-in game on the road either Wednesday or Thursday against the seventh or eighth seed. "It was just determination," Tim Ream said after his defensive teammates fell into a shell that did not allow the Union a single shot on goal in the second half. "I was juiced from the beginning. I didnt care how we did it." The Red Bulls went into the game in danger of missing the playoffs entirely had they lost or tied. The defensive-minded Union stopped all but one of New Yorks 11 shots. And the one that did get past goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon went in off his own back in the eighth minute. With Henry sitting out due to a red card in Saturdays loss to Sporting K.C., Dan Richards moved up to forward and headed a cross from Teemu Tainio off the left post. The rebound caromed off a diving Mondragons back and in for the only score of the match. Richards, not known for his heading skills, was just happy he got the ball in position. "I just wanted to put the ball on target," Richards said. "Philadelphias a really good team defensively, so getting that goal early was really important." Philadelphia (11-8-15) remained in second place in the Eastern Conference with 48 points. Thouugh assured of a playoff spot, the Union could finish as low as fourth in the East and eighth in the playoff seedings depending on the weekends games.dddddddddddd "Well figure it out," Union coach Peter Nowak said. "Well see what happens after the weekend and see where we go. Well see what kind of mistakes we made and correct them quickly." The Red Bulls controlled the play in the first half, and had chances to extend the lead but Mondragon made a leg save against Richards and stopped a point-blank shot by Luke Rodgers late in the half. New York went into a defensive shell in the second half, the back line marking the Unions forwards tightly. Philadelphia failed to mount a serious threat after that. At 3-1-1 over their last five games, Red Bulls coach Hans Backe believes his team could be getting hot at the right time. The last month was far different than their middle 20 games, where they were 2-5-13. "If you look at the last month, we had a good run before (last weeks) Kansas City game," he said. "It looks like hopefully, hopefully, were going into a peak for the playoffs." Defender Jan Gunnar Solli believes the Red Bulls could be a dangerous team in the post-season. "I think theres a lot of teams that dont want to see the Red Bulls in the playoffs," Solli said. Backe spurred his teams emotions with a pre-game video highlighting many of the individual performances during the season. But Ream said the gravity of the game was all he needed. "I was into it from the get-go," the U.S. National team starters said. "I didnt need a video. Tonight just says something about what this team can accomplish when its backs are against the wall." cheap nfl Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys cheap nfl Jerseys wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
