WASHINGTON (AP) Jay Beagle scored with 5:11 left in the third period to give the injury-ravaged Washington Capitals a 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.

Dmitry Orlov's shot was stopped by Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard, but Beagle tapped in the rebound for his fourth of the season. Braden Holtby had 25 saves for his first shutout this season and 24th of his career.

Washington was coming off a seven-goal outburst against Pittsburgh on Wednesday after scoring just five goals in its previous four games.

Howard finished with 27 saves for the Red Wings, who have lost three straight for the first time this season.

PENGUINS 3, ISLANDERS 2, OT

NEW YORK (AP) - Kris Letang scored 1:24 into overtime, lifting Pittsburgh past the last-place Islanders to rebound from a blowout loss.

Sidney Crosby set up the winner by faking a shot and then passing to Letang, who fired in his second of the season.

Pittsburgh was beaten 7-1 by the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, its biggest defeat during coach Mike Sullivan's nearly year-long tenure.

Matt Murray had 20 saves, and the Penguins also got goals from Crosby and Trevor Daley.

Brock Nelson and rookie Anthony Beauvillier scored for the Islanders, who dropped their fourth straight and are mired in a 1-3-4 stretch. Jaroslav Halak stopped 32 shots in his seventh straight start.

BLUE JACKETS 4. RANGERS 2

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Matt Calvert returned from taking a slap shot to his forehead that required about 30 stitches and scored a short-handed, tiebreaking goal in the third period to lift Columbus to its franchise-record seventh straight home win.

William Karlsson had a goal and an assist, and Sam Gagner and Boone Jenner also scored for Columbus, which led 2-0 in the second period before the Rangers tied it in the third. The Blue Jackets have won three in a row overall and seven of nine. Sergei Bobrovksy had 25 saves.

Michael Grabner and Mika Zibanejad scored for New York, which lost for the third time in 14 games. Henrik Lundqvist made 20 saves for the Rangers.

About three minutes after Zibanejad evened the score at 8:32 of the third, the Rangers were looking to take the lead on the power play, but a bandaged Calvert snuck a shot under Lundqvist's right arm on a 2-on-1 with Karlsson.

HURRICANES 3, CANADIENS 2

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Victor Rask had a goal and an assist in Carolina's three-goal third period as the Hurricanes rallied past Montreal.

Jeff Skinner and Teuvo Teravainen also scored for the Hurricanes during their outburst over a 5-minute, 50-second span of third period. Ron Hainsey had two assists and Cam Ward stopped 31 shots.

Jeff Petry and Andrew Shaw scored for league-leading Montreal. Montoya finished with 15 saves.

Montoya was playing in the building, now known as PNC Arena, which was the site of the 2004 draft in which he was the first-round pick by the New York Rangers.

BLACKHAWKS 3, FLAMES 2

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - Marian Hossa's controversial goal with 2:23 left in the third period lifted Chicago past Calgary.

Artemi Panarin's hard shot was deflected by Chad Johnson's glove high in the air and as the puck came down behind him, Hossa knocked it in. While replays showed it might have been a high stick by Hossa, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan had used his time out earlier in the period and was unable to challenge the call.

Ryan Hartman and Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago which has points in 12 of its last 13 (10-1-2) games. Corey Crawford stopped 28 shots.

Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan scored for Calgary, and Johnson had 21 saves

Saturday’s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…….

13) Winning helps and losing doesn’t: Jerry Jones said this week that the Cowboys have already sold 1.5M+ jerseys this year, ten times more than they had $old at thi$ time laSt year. Do the math on that one.

12) Last week, Pitt, USC and Iowa all won as underdogs of 22-9-24 points; out in Las Vegas, a guy put $2 on a money-line parlay of those three teams and collected $792 for this troubles. Thats a 396-1 shot.

11) Justin Verlander was left off of two Cy Young ballots, both by writers in Tampa Bay area; his girlfriend is actress Kate Upton, who let her feelings be known on Twitter (she wasn’t happy).

Verlander was 16-9, 3.04 LY and pitched well (2 runs in 7 IP) in his one start against the Rays LY. No idea why those two writers left him off their ballot- it makes no sense.

10) There are 351 Division I college basketball teams, only so many players to go around, so teams get creative in recruiting: Eastern Washington has five players from Australia; Davidson has players from seven different countries.

9) Rams’ punter Johnny Hekker is first NFL punter since 1984 (Luke Prestridge) to have punts of 75+ yards in consecutive games.

8) Maryland’s football team was outscored 121-6 in its last two games.

7) Clemson got a technical foul during its game with Davidson on Thursday; one of their players wears #00, but it was put in the scorebook as #0, which isn’t the same.

6) Central Michigan has a QB named Cooper Rush who is being touted as an NFL prospect, in a year where the NFL Draft might be a little light on QB prospects.

5) Ravens’ kicker Justin Tucker is also an opera singer and a pretty good one. He sang at a Christmas concert in Baltimore last December and got a standing ovation.

4) Last year, Georgetown played at Maryland and the Terps shot 20 more FTs than the Hoyas. This year, the Terps won by a point at Georgetown, but the Hoyas took 20 more FT’s than Maryland. Funny how that works.

3) Georgetown also lost Thursday as a 23-point home favorite to Arkansas State; Hoyas dropped in rankings from #30 to #46. ASU jumped from #274 to #235.

2) Was reading thru UTEP’s basketball preview for this year; coach Tim Floyd says that El Paso is the biggest city in America without a major league sports team.

1) Our thoughts/prayers go out to Chiefs’ long-snapper James Winchester; his dad was the airport employee murdered earlier this week in Oklahoma City. RIP, sir.

November 20, 2016

DALLAS (AP) Connor McDavid got his first career hat trick, helping the Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 5-2 on Saturday night to end a five-game skid.

McDavid, the first overall pick in the 2015 draft, ended a 10-game stretch without a goal.

Tyler Pitlick got his sixth goal of the season for Edmonton, and Oscar Klebom also scored. Cam Talbot made 31 saves.

The Oilers led 4-0 early in the second period when Dallas coach Lindy Ruff swapped starting goalie Kari Lehtonen for Antti Niemi.

Patrick Eaves and Jamie Benn scored for Dallas during a 4-minute power play late in the second. Eaves scored in his fifth straight game, the longest streak of his 12-year career.

SABRES 2, PENGUINS 1, SO

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Cal O'Reilly scored the lone goal in a shootout, helping Buffalo snap a six-game losing streak.

William Carrier scored his first NHL goal and Sabres goalie Anders Nilsson stopped 46 shots through overtime plus all three shootout attempts he faced.

Buffalo snapped an 0-4-2 skid and ended a nine-game slide against the Penguins. The Sabres had gone 0-8-1 versus Pittsburgh since a 4-2 road win on April 23, 2013.

Sidney Crosby scored for Pittsburgh, which has alternated losses and wins over its past five games since a 9-2-2 start.

O'Reilly's shootout goal came after he was called up from Buffalo's AHL affiliate in Rochester earlier in the day.

BLACKHAWKS 4, CANUCKS 3, OT

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Marian Hossa scored late in overtime to cap Chicago's comeback from three goals down in the third period against Vancouver.

Ryan Hartman tied the game with 4:14 left in regulation after Artemi Panarin and Vinnie Hinostroza scored earlier in the third. The 22-year-old Hinostroza got his first NHL points with a goal and two assists.

Hossa beat Jacob Markstrom at 4:04 of overtime for his 11th goal of the season.

Scott Darling made 24 saves for the Blackhawks.

Loui Eriksson, Bo Horvat and Brandon Sutter scored for the Canucks.

CANADIENS 2, MAPLE LEAFS 1

MONTREAL (AP) - Carey Price made 31 saves and Montreal ended a three-game skid with a victory over Toronto.

Paul Byron and Alex Galchenyuk scored for the Canadiens, who have won 12 straight against their oldest rival dating to Jan. 18, 2014.

William Nylander scored for the Maple Leafs, who were coming off a pair of home wins in which they totaled 12 goals.

Montreal fired 29 shots at Frederik Andersen.

Byron was on the doorstep to jam the rebound of Shea Weber's shot past Andersen at 15:45 of the first period. It was the diminutive winger's seventh goal this season, only four shy of his career high.

BRUINS 4, JETS 1

BOSTON (AP) - Tuukka Rask was rarely tested in his latest win, and Patrice Bergeron's power-play score capped a three-goal second period that carried Boston over Winnipeg.

Rask needed only 11 saves to raise his record to 11-2, but lost a bid for his fourth shutout with 2:40 to play. He was the NHL's First Star last week, going 4-0-0 with a 0.75 goals-against average.

Brad Marchand, Matt Beleskey and Tim Schaller also scored for the Bruins, who won for the eighth time in 11 games.

Adam Lowry scored for Winnipeg and Michael Hutchinson made 34 saves.

BLUES 3, PREDATORS 1

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Kyle Brodziak and Vladimir Tarasenko scored in the third period, lifting the St. Louis Blues over the Nashville Predators 3-1 on Saturday night.

David Perron also scored and Jake Allen made 30 saves, helping the Blues finish 3-0 on their homestand. St. Louis is 8-1-2 at home this season.

Mike Ribeiro scored and Pekka Rinne made 31 saves for Nashville, which finished a three-game trip 1-2.

The Blues snapped a two-game losing streak vs. Nashville but have dominated the Predators at Scottrade Center, winning five straight. Overall, the Blues have won six of eight against the Predators.

LIGHTNING 3, FLYERS 0

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 32 shots in his second consecutive shutout, leading Tampa Bay over Philadelphia.

Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Jonathan Drouin scored for the Lightning, who extended their winning streak to four games and improved to 12-6-1.

The Flyers (8-8-3) lost in regulation for the first time since Nov. 11, ending a 2-0-1 streak. They went 0 for 5 on the power play.

In his previous appearance, Vasilevskiy made 24 saves for a 4-0 win over the New York Islanders. The Lightning haven't lost since, outscoring opponents 15-4 on a road trip that ends Monday night in Nashville.

COYOTES 3, SHARKS 2, OT

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Martin Hanzal redirected Alex Goligoski's shot into the net at 1:16 of overtime, giving Arizona a win San Jose.

Mike Smith stopped 43 shots for Arizona, 18 in the third period. Tobias Rieder and Max Domi scored for the Coyotes, who ended a four-game losing streak and played into overtime for the third straight game.

San Jose lost its third straight despite finishing with a season-high 45 shots on goal.

The Sharks cut the Coyotes' lead to 2-1 just 41 seconds into the third period with Joe Pavelski's sixth goal of the season, a long, rising shot that was too fast for Smith to deflect. Tommy Wingels then scored off a deflected shot from teammate Matt Nieto at 10:28.

KINGS 4, DEVILS 2

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jeff Carter scored his team-high seventh goal of the season and Peter Budaj made 21 saves to help Los Angeles beat New Jersey.

Tanner Pearson, Alec Martinez and Jake Muzzin, into an empty net, also scored for the Kings.

John Moore and Nick Lappin had the goals for New Jersey. After winning five straight, the Devils have lost their past two.

Kings center Anze Kopitar missed his fourth straight game with an upper-body injury.

PANTHERS 4, SENATORS 1

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) - Roberto Luongo made 39 saves, Jaromir Jagr had a goal and two assists and Florida beat Ottawa.

Jussi Jokinen, Jonathan Marchessault and Derek MacKenzie also scored for the Panthers.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored and Craig Anderson made 19 saves for the Senators.

AVALANCHE 3, WILD 2

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Nathan MacKinnon's goal with 10 minutes left finished off a third-period comeback, and Calvin Pickard stopped 41 shots to help Colorado beat Minnesota.

Colorado trailed 2-0 heading into the final period, but goals by Mikko Rantanen and Carl Soderberg just 3 minutes apart tied the game.

MacKinnon's individual play, taking the puck up the center of the ice and beating Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk, completed the rally.

Dubnyk made 31 saves for the Wild, but his shutout streak was snapped at 156 minutes, 6 seconds. Charlie Coyle and Tyler Graovac scored for Minnesota, which had been 6-0-1 when leading after two periods.

Sunday’s six-pack

Six most popular picks this week in the Westgate Super Contest:

6) Raiders -5.5 (430)

5) Buccaneers +7.5 (434)

4) Vikings even (400)

3) Titans +3 (509)

2) Dolphins -2.5 (516)

1) Ravens +7 (596)

season record: 17-42-2

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


13) Ohio State 17, Michigan State 16— Spartans scored with under 5:00 to go to make it 17-16, then went for 2 points and the lead, letting the Buckeyes off the hook. Spartans are 3-8; I’m just not a fan of going for two when you’re the underdog— all the pressure is on the other guys.

12) Wyoming 34, San Diego State 33— Aztecs had to beg for a replay review on a Hail Mary on the last play of the game, and they won it, making score 34-33 with time expired. Great catch by the San Diego State kid, by the way.

Surprisingly they go for 2 points and the win but it doesn’t work. Wyoming wins. Aztecs were the favorite; no clue why they went for two points; the replay review was pretty long, but they did and they lost. It has been a great year for Wyoming, though.

11) Oregon 30, Utah 28— Ducks scored with 0:02 left on a 17-yard pass play; they’re 4-7 and trailed this game 14-3. Bad loss for 8-3 Utah (are there good losses?)

10) Tennessee 63, Missouri 37— Mizzou ran 110 plays for 743 yards, had 42 first downs (42!!!) and lost by 26.

9) Georgia Tech 31, Virginia 17— Tech had only 8 first downs, ran only 41 plays, but three of them were TD’s of 67-54-60 yards, then they added a defensive TD with 4:03 that covered the spread, so if you wagered on Virginia today, this is a bad beat.

8) Virginia Tech 34, Notre Dame 31— Irish led 24-7 but now they are 4-7 and not going to a bowl. I grew up as a USC fan in a houseful of Notre Dame fans; if this game had been played when I was a little kid, undoubtedly I would’ve been grounded within 10 minutes of the game ending.

7) Oklahoma State 31, TCU 6— Horned Frogs have only eight seniors on scholarship. The scholarship limit is 85, but because so many kids red-shirt, thats divided by five classes, so 17 kids a year would be average. In other words, TCU should be a whole lot better next year than this year (they’re 5-5).

6) Kansas 24, Texas 21— Time for Charlie Strong to…..take a hike. Losing to the Jayhawks is no bueno; Kansas hardly had enough students in the stands to rush the field. Texas is 4-7 and will be hiring a new coach (Tom Herman?) fairly soon.

Iowa State 66, Texas Tech 10— If you coach a team that trails Iowa State 45-3 at halftime, your job is in jeopardy, especially if your team is 4-7. Lot of schools in Texas are going to be looking for new coaches in a few weeks.

5) Alabama 31, Chattanooga 3– At the risk of sounding like Nancy Kerrigan, why are the Crimson Tide playing a I-AA team?

Why? Why? Why? Play a Sun Belt team, play a MAC team, play freakin’ Rutgers, there are plenty of stiffs out there.

4) Florida 16, LSU 10— Gators stopped LSU at the 1-yard line on the last play to preserve the win. Tigers’ RB Leonard Fournette was supposedly hurt, but after he got into a verbal dispute with a Florida coach before the game, he asked to suit up and he did, running ball 12 times for 40 yards.

Fournette is a great talent but he misses a lot of games. If I was an NFL team, I’d be hesitant to spend a high draft pick on him.

3) I have lived in upstate NY my whole life; I despise snow, even on TV. Watching it snow in Michigan, West Virginia today made me put a sweatshirt on in my house. Terrible stuff, snow. Very cold.

I’m wondering if there were kids playing for Oklahoma (or freshmen on West Virginia who might be from Florida) who have never seen snow before, or at least never played in it.

2) Old Dominion 42, Florida Atlantic 24- Monarchs are 8-3 and heading to their first bowl game; they were 7-17 in their first two years in I-A football. Good for them; it ain’t easy to build up a football program— takes lot of bodies, a lot of work.

1— I’m writing this tonight with a heavy heart; my friend Joe passed away this week, way too young at age 53. I found out today; I knew he was ill, but didn’t know how serious it was.

A good guy, a regular guy despite being a boss at work, Joe and I met a year before my retirement and bonded over our mutual love of sports. I’d duck into his office and we’d talk/laugh a little bit each day.

A good ballplayer and a basketball ref, Joe was respected by all; a big man with a big heart. He will be missed. RIP, my friend.
