NHL roundup: Stars halt Flyers' winning streak at 10
December 17, 2016

DALLAS -- The Dallas Stars ended the Philadelphia Flyers' 10-game winning streak with a 3-1 victory on Saturday afternoon.

Adam Cracknell scored the game-winning goal early in the third period and Antti Niemi made 31 saves for Dallas. It was Philadelphia's first loss since Nov. 25 against the New York Rangers.

The Stars' Radek Faksa tied the game 1-1 on a rebound at 4:48 of the second period. It was Faksa's fourth goal of the season and Antoine Roussel had the primary assist after he took the initial shot.

Faksa's goal came minutes after Jason Spezza and Brandon Manning fought near the Flyers' net. It was Spezza's first fight since March 3, 2009 and only the fifth of his career.

Jordie Benn scored into the empty to give Dallas a 3-1 lead.

Canadiens 2, Capitals 1

WASHINGTON -- Jeff Petry scored the go-ahead goal and Carey Price stopped 20 shots to record his 250th career win as Montreal snapped Washington's six-game losing streak.

Price was slated to sit out Saturday's game, but was pulled Friday night after allowing four goals on 18 shots in less than 27 minutes in a 4-2 loss to San Jose and coach Michel Therrien opted to start him against the Capitals. Price was 5-9-4 with a 3.08 goals-against-average in 18 previous games versus Washington.

Nicklas Backstrom scored the Capitals' only goal during a 5-on-3 power play in the second period. Braden Holtby made 23 saves for Washington in a matchup of the NHL's past two Vezina Trophy winners.

Wild 4, Coyotes 1

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Backup Darcy Keumper made 27 saves as Minnesota won its seventh straight game.

Ryan Suter, Tyler Graovac, Chris Stewart and Eric Staal scored for the Wild.

Brendan Perlini's second goal of the season with 1:54 to go spoiled Kuemper's bid for his eighth career shutout and first of the season.

Kuemper, making his first start since a Nov. 29 loss in Vancouver, earned his first win in more than a month to raise his record to 3-2-1. He was making a spot start in place of Devan Dubnyk, who leads the league in goals-against-average (1.62) and save percentage (.947).

Maple Leafs 2, Penguins 1 (OT)

TORONTO -- Jake Gardiner scored after two minutes of overtime and Toronto defeated Pittsburgh.

It was the second loss in two nights -- both in overtime -- for the Stanley Cup champion Penguins, who won seven in a row before that.

Evgeni Malkin scored for Pittsburgh.

Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury was cut in the neck by a skate and left the game for more than nine minutes with Matthew Murray taking his place before returning in the first period. Fleury made 41 saves and Murray six.

Toronto goaltender Frederik Andersen made 33 saves.

Rangers 2, Predators 1 (OT)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Jimmy Vesey got one of New York's two goals in the shootout as it edged the Nashville.

Mats Zuccarello got the other shootout goal for the Rangers, while Henrik Lundqvist stopped both Predators' attempts.

Lundqvist made 31 saves for New York while backup goalie Juuse Saros, making his fourth start of the season, stopped 26 of 27 shots.

The Rangers swept their two-game road trip through Dallas and Nashville, while the Predators dropped to 2-4-2 in December.

New York initiated scoring at 7:47 of the first period as Rick Nash beat Saros from a bad angle. Nashville's Mike Fisher tied it at 9:22 of the second period with his ninth goal of the season and fourth in the last three games.

Blackhawks 6, Blues 4

ST. LOUIS -- Vinnie Hinostroza scored off a rebound with 4:25 left in the third period to lift Chicago over St. Louis.

Hinostroza got a backhand shot past goaltender Jake Allen to give the Blackhawks their first lead of the game and snap the Blues' point streak at home at 14 contests (11-0-3). Artemi Panarin added at empty-net goal with 49 seconds to play.

The win improved the Blackhawks' record to 5-0-1 in their last six games.

Patrik Berglund scored two goals for St. Louis and Joel Edmundson had three assists.

Red Wings 6, Ducks 4

DETROIT -- Tomas Tatar scored three goals for his first career hat trick to lead Detroit to a come-from-behind victory over Anaheim.

The Red Wings snapped a four-game winless streak (0-3-1) after trailing 3-1 in the second period.

Xavier Ouellet had a goal and an assist and Dylan Larkin and Frans Nielsen also scored for Detroit, which scored its most goals in a game this season. Thomas Vanek had two assists and Petr Mrazek stopped 21 shots.

Rickard Rakell had two goals, defensemen Shea Theodore and Cam Fowler scored for the Ducks. Jonathan Bernier made 17 saves before being replaced by John Gibson after two periods. Gibson stopped nine shots.

Senators 3, Devils 1

OTTAWA -- - Zack Smith set up the winner and added an insurance goal into an empty net as Ottawa defeated New Jersey.

Mike Condon made 29 saves to backstop the win.

Bobby Ryan and Derick Brassard had the other goals for the Senators, who padded the distance between themselves and the Devils in the Eastern Conference standings.

John Moore scored for the Devils while Kevin Kinkaid made 28 saves in the New Jersey net.

Hurricanes 2, Sabres 1 (SO)

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Lee Stempniak and Sebastian Aho converted in the shootout and Carolina picked up a rare victory in that format.

The Hurricanes are 2-4 in shootouts this season.

Joakim Nordstrom scored in the first period for Carolina and the goal nearly stood up before Evander Kane's goal with 2:37 left in regulation.

Carolina has at least one team point in six of its last seven games, though it hasn't won back-to-back contests since a five-game winning streak Nov. 12-22.

Sunday’s six-pack

Six most popular picks in Week 15 of the Westgate SuperContest:

6) Patriots (430) -3.5

5) Lions (433) +4

4) Ravens (456) -5.5

3) Raiders (501) -3

2) Buccaneers (593) +6.5

1) Steelers (603) -3

Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….

13) Kentucky 103, North Carolina 100— A GREAT advertisement for college basketball, just a tremendous game. Malik Monk had 47 for the Wildcats.

if the Final Four isn’t from this group: Villanova-UNC-Kentucky-UCLA-Duke, it will be a surprise, which means who the 4th #1 seed is will be critical, because the “5th #1” will be the 2-seed in that same region as the 4th #1.

12) One of the cool things about college basketball is that during pre-conference play, you want teams in your league to win….seriously. It raises the platform of the whole league and could mean an extra bid to the NCAA tournament in March.

Kentucky beating North Carolina could help….say Texas A&M get a play-in spot over Virginia Tech. You never know.

Put it this way; San Diego State’s regression in the Mountain West hurts everyone in the league, especially potential bubble teams like Nevada.

11) Over the last four years, Los Angeles Dodgers have shelled out $113M, just in luxury tax payments- they’re expected to be over the cap again this coming season.

10) OK there is a Mercedes commercial where the young teenage boy bugs his dad to drive thru a snowstorm so he can meet his girlfriend at a movie theater. The father reluctantly does, and no one is there, but because it is TV, the girl shows up….in her parents’ Mercedes. The only two cars on the road. In a snowstorm.

Do these people not own cellphones? Do kids not text each other? Couldn’t they just watch movies at one of their houses, so one parent wouldn’t have to drive? Why does this bother me?

9) You know how Boise State has a blue football field? Well, Eastern Washington has a red field; it doesn’t look bad on TV but who decided this was a good idea?

8) Houston Rockets made 24-61 3-pointers Friday night, most 3’s ever taken/made in an NBA game. Just for the record, Phoenix Suns are 316-350 since they stupidly fired D’Antoni 8.5 years ago- they were 253-136 with D’Antoni as head coach.

7) Highland Park HS won the Texas 5-A state championship Friday night; why do I mention this? QB for Highland Park is Jerry Jones’ grandson. Imagine their booster club has some serious cash.

6) UCLA 86, Ohio State 73— Buckeyes did good job in first half of running offense, making possessions longer to keep UCLA from running, but then they didn’t in second half and Bruins pulled away. UCLA is great fun to watch because of freshman PG Lonzo Ball, who reminds lot of people of Jason Kidd— he gets the open guy the ball and UCLA has lot of kids who can put the ball in the basket, if they get it in the right place.

5) Purdue 86, Notre Dame 81— Irish led by 14 at the half, but Boilers stormed back and got Matt Painter a big win. Dick Vitale’s daughters went to Notre Dame, so if ESPN puts him on a ND game, they’re begging me to change the channel— it is intolerable to listen to him.

4) Phillies gave CF Odubel Herrera $30.5M for five years; he hit .286 with 15 HRs for the Phils last summer. Herrera is the first player Philly has under contract for 2018, which is next season. For a big market team to have such roster flexibility is interesting.

By the way, the word processing program on my MacBook Pro has an annoying auto-correct that changes Odubel to double every time I type it. Every time.

3) Lane Kiffin’s move to Florida Atlantic means that Steve Sarkisian is the new OC at Alabama, once the Crimson Tide’s season is over. Good to see Sarkisian get a second chance in life; hope he makes the most of it.

2) Brandon Shell, the Jets’ right tackle this week, is nephew of the great Art Shell, the Raiders’ Hall of Famer. If he is anything like his uncle, young Shell is a keeper.

1) West Virginia coach Bob Huggins won his 800th game Saturday, just 10th college coach to do so. He looks gruff on TV but I’ve met him twice and he’s a pretty normal guy to talk to, and when he was sitting in the lobby at an AAU tournament in Las Vegas in July of ‘15, a ton of people came up to talk to him. His teams are fun to watch. Congrats coach.

NHL roundup: Jackets win 9th straight
December 18, 2016

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Seth Jones scored 46 seconds into overtime as the Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 Sunday, giving head coach John Tortorella his 500th NHL victory.

The Blue Jackets also extend the NHL's longest active win streak to nine games.

Brandon Saad scored twice for the Blue Jackets. Atkinson, on the power play, also scored for Columbus.

Jannik Hansen, Brandon Sutter, on the power play, and Daniel Sedin scored for the Canucks.

Tortorella, who has coached the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers and for one season in Vancouver, becomes the sixth active coach and 24th all-time to win 500 games.

Bruins 1, Kings 0

BOSTON -- Tuukka Rask turned aside 18 shots for his fourth shutout of the season and Jimmy Hayes scored just his second goal since February, leading Boston over Los Angeles.

Rask, improving his season record to 16-5-3, was not severely tested in his 34th career shutout. Hayes' second goal of the season came on a deflection of a shot by defenseman Colin Miller. It was also Hayes' second point of the season.

The Kings were blanked for the fourth time this season, the first time since Nov. 1, when they suffered their third straight shutout in a loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

Jets 4, Avalanche 1

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Winnipeg got two goals from Nikolaj Ehlers to earn a victory over Colorado at the MTS Center.

Rookie Patrik Laine scored his 18th of the season for the Jets, good for third in the league, on an odd-man break and captain Blake Wheeler converted the winning goal as the Jets won their second straight.

Connor Hellebuyck stopped 27 shots for the win, but Avalanche veteran Jarome Iginla spoiled his shut-out bid with a power-play goal with 2:01 to go in the game. It was his fourth of the season.

Rangers 3. Devils 2 (SO)

NEW YORK, NY -- The New York won its third straight game, and second in as many nights in the shootout, edging New Jersey at Madison Square Garden.

Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Hayes scored for the Rangers and Michael Cammalleri scored for the Devils in the tie-breaking skills competition.

Chris Kreider and Derek Stepan scored for the Rangers in regulation while P.A. Parenteau and Miles Wood scored for the Devils.

Blackhawks 4, Sharks 1

CHICAGO -- Vincent Hinostroza and Ryan Hartman each notched a goal and an assist, and Chicago pulled away for a win over San Jose.

Duncan Keith and Patrick Kane also scored for the Blackhawks, who extended their winning streak to five games while earning at least one point for the seventh straight contest.

Joe Pavelski scored the Sharks' lone goal. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for San Jose.

Senators 6, Islanders 2

NEW YORK -- Mark Stone scored the tie-breaking goal late in the second period as Ottawa earned its second win in 24 hours by beating New York at Barclays Center.

Zack Smith scored two goals for the Senators, while Bobby Ryan, Derick Brassard and Tom Pyatt also scored Ottawa, which beat the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night.

Anders Lee and Anthony Beauvillier scored in the second period for the free-falling Islanders, who have lost five straight to fall into the Eastern Conference basement.

Monday’s six-pack

Six most popular picks in Week 15 of the Westgate SuperContest:

6) Patriots (430) -3.5- W

5) Lions (433) +4- L

4) Ravens (456) -5.5- L

3) Raiders (501) -3- T

2) Buccaneers (593) +6.5- W

1) Steelers (603) -3- W

Monday’s List of 13: Wrapping up an NFL Sunday

Giants 17, Lions 6— Seattle jumps Detroit into #2 seed in NFC after an inept offensive performance by Lions in their 3rd (and last) outdoor game of year. Giants are 8-1 in last nine games, now head on road to Philly/Washington to end season. Last eight Detroit games stayed under the total, as have last six Giant games.

Steelers 24, Bengals 20— Bengals led 20-6 wth 2:51 left in first half, but Steelers kicked FG’s on five consecutive drives, then finally scored TD and won/covered fifth game in row, with four of those wins on road- they’ve now won seven of last eight games with Cincinnati. Favorites are 8-1 vs spread in AFC North divisional games this season.

Ravens 27, Eagles 26— Eagles scored TD with 0:04 left, went for two points and the win, a play I just disagree with, especially on road with a rookie QB who had just run for a TD. Tennessee did it, failed but wound up winning anyway. Philly has now lost nine of last ten games after a 3-0 start; they’re 1-7 on road. Ravens won its last five home games (4-1 vs spread).

Every TV announcer “loves the aggressive nature of going for two” in that spot. Without fail, they cover the coach’s butt by saying that, but I disagree. Let your entire team decide the game.

Packers 30, Bears 27— Green Bay blew a 27-10 4th quarter lead, but Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson with a 60-yard bomb to set up the GW field goal with 0:03 left. Packers have now won last seven games in Chicago, but Bears have to like what they see out of 3rd-string QB Barkley.

if Dallas wins Sunday night, Packers are tied with Tampa Bay for last Wild Card slot.

Colts 34, Vikings 6— Stunning no-show by Minnesota that basically ends their season; game was 27-nil at the half. I spent 50 Sunday afternoons watching Sam Bradford play for the Rams, so I’m not totally surprised by all this, and the Norv Turner resignation should’ve raised the red flag about as high as it can go, that there were big problems with this team.

Bills 33, Browns 13— Worst thing for the Browns is that they still have zero idea who their QB is as they move towards 2017. Cleveland is 2-12 vs spread; ’08 Lions went 0-16, but were 7-9 against spread. In its last four games, Cleveland was outscored 65-9 in first half. Buffalo is 7-1 if they allow 21 or less points, 0-6 if they allow more. Over is 11-2 in Buffalo’s last 13 games.

Titans 19, Chiefs 17— Chiefs led 14-0 after 10:31 of play but lost. Kansas City had the ball with 3:12 left up 17-16 and Tennessee had no timeouts left (other than 2:00 warning), but Chiefs couldn’t get a first down and lost 19-17 at home for the second time in five weeks (Bucs were other loss). Tennessee has now won four of last five games; they went for two-point conversion and the lead with 3:12 left, down 17-16 and won despite not getting it.

Texans 21, Jaguars 20— Houston benched Brock Osweiler after his second INT; he has $37M in guaranteed money coming his way. Bill O’Brien coached this game like he was getting fired if Houston misses the playoffs— Tom Savage may have saved O’Brien’s butt by leading this comeback that makes the Texans 6-1 at home this season. Jaguars lost their ninth game in a row; they fired coach Gus Bradley after the game- at least he’ll get to spend Christmas with his family.

Saints 48, Cardinals 41— 20 possessions in this game; 11 TD’s, three FG’s tried, not a lot of defense played. Cardinals have now allowed 30.9 pts/game their last seven games, giving up 22 TD’s on opponents’ last 72 drives. NFC South non-divisional road underdogs are 10-2 vs spread this season. Except for Seattle, NFC West has been a dumpster fire in 2016.

Falcons 41, 49ers 13— First three times they had the ball, Atlanta ran 22 plays for 157 yards and a quick 21-nil lead— Falcons coasted the rest of the way, running ball for 248 yards, throwing for 302. 49ers haven’t won since Week 1; they allowed 12.6 yards/pass attempt in this game. In their last three games, Niners have been outscored 52-0 in second half. I’m going to spend Christmas Eve in a sportsbook watching Rams-49ers; Feliz Navidad. Over is 12-2 in Falcon games this season.

Patriots 16, Broncos 3— In their last three games, Denver has two offensive TDs on 35 drives; we’re going to find out this winter how patient John Elway is. Will he go after Tony Romo and try to jumpstart his offense for 2017? Patriots won for just second time in last eight visits here. Under is 8-3 in last 11 Denver games, 4-1 in last five Patriot games.

Raiders 19, Chargers 16— Two years ago, Oakland went 3-13 with rookie Derek Carr at QB; things have improved for him. Oakland is 6-1 in true road games this year; they’re 8-1 in games decided by 7 or less points, thanks in large part to a +15 turnover ratio. San Diego is 1-7 in games decided by 7 or less points; their TO ratio is -6. There is a very fine line between winning and losing in the NFL.

Cowboys 26, Buccaneers 20— Prescott went 32-36/280 in this highly entertaining game; putting to rest any potential QB controversy. Jameis Winston is going to be really good; this was his first game in the brightest of NFL spotlights. Bucs’ 5-game win streak is snapped. Packer fans were rooting like hell for Dallas, Giant fans were rooting for Tampa Bay
