TAMPA Marian Hossa Jersey Womens , Fla. — NHL-leading Tampa Bay looks to pick up where it left off before the holiday break when the Lightning host the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.Tampa Bay is riding a 12-game streak with at least a point, posting an 11-0-1 record, the third longest stretch of games without a regulation loss in franchise history. The Lightning have not dropped a game since a 3-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Nov. 27.But don’t expect a team with the type of Stanley Cup aspirations the Lightning have to start looking too far down the road, even after capping an impressive 3-0-1 road trip through western Canada in the previous four games before the team had four days off over Christmas.Article continues below ...“I think we can go into the break feeling good about how we played this start of the season,” defenseman Anton Stralman said after Saturday’s victory in Edmonton. “But we’re only halfway. It’s nice to get the break.“It’s been a tough schedule. A lot of the boys need a little rest and to heal up a little bit. I think it’s going to be great to get some time off and be ready to go again on the 27th.”Captain Steven Stamkos is leading the way offensively with 13 goals in the past 12 games and has reached 20 goals for the 10th time in his career. Nikita Kucherov jumped to second in league scoring with 57 points.But it’s the other end of the ice the Lightning are looking to shore up as they eye the second half of the schedule. Tampa Bay enters Thursday sitting 13th in the league in goals allowed at 2.86 per game.“We were probably outscoring teams and we needed to get back to what was actually getting us here and why we’ve had such a good start,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.The Flyers also hope the break didn’t take away some of the momentum gained before the break as Philadelphia has won three of the past four games since new interim coach Scott Gordon took the reins behind the bench from Dave Hakstol.In the four games under Gordon, the Flyers have allowed just nine goals, well below the season average of 3.6 goals allowed per game.“It was a tough week for everybody,” Gordon told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Not just physically, but mentally.“And to come in, new coach Womens Evander Kane Jersey , new goaltender, the whole routine was thrown out of whack — whether it was the pregame skate or anything we touched on system-wise, or different drills at practice. And yet they responded with six points out of eight and were very close to having eight for eight. That obviously is encouraging as a coach to get that kind of attitude and that kind of effort.”The change, along with the call-up of top goaltender prospect Carter Hart — who won two of his three starts — has allowed the Flyers hit the reset button in many aspects.“I think a lot of guys got their confidence back and we’re rolling now, so it feels good,”‘ second-year center Nolan Patrick told The Inquirer. “The last couple games, we’ve really played a team game and we’ve played fast.” ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Eric Staal had already seen his former teammate rob him of a goal once. When he got another chance, he made sure it didn’t happen again.Staal and Mikael Grandlund scored and Devan Dubnyk stopped 27 of 28 shots to lead the Minnesota Wild to a 2-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night.Brendan Perlini scored and Darcy Kuemper stopped 30 shots in his season debut for Arizona. Kuemper was making his first appearance against the franchise that drafted him in 2009. He spent parts of five seasons in Minnesota before leaving as a free agent in 2017.Kuemper made the save of the game against Staal midway through the second period to keep the game tied 1-1. Minnesota’s Eric Fehr came out of the penalty box to trigger a 3-on-1 for the Wild. Staal skated down the slot and took a pass from Fehr with seemingly half the net to shoot at, but a sprawling Kuemper made a glove save.“That’s frustrating,” said Stahl Authentic Joe Pavelski Jersey , who scored 42 goals last season. “I’ll give him some kudos. It was a great save, but I’ve got to bury those.”Early in the third period, that’s exactly what he did. After Kuemper stopped Ryan Suter’s initial shot, Jason Zucker tapped it across the crease to Staal, who hit the back of the net for his second goal of the season.“I went over to play the shot and (Zucker) made a nice play back against the grain and I couldn’t get there,” Kuemper said.The Coyotes entered the night having scored just two goals in four games, including three shutout losses. But they opened the scoring midway through the first period when Perlini scored his first of the season on the power play.With Greg Pateryn in the box for hooking, Perlini took a pass below the right circle, walked in on Dubnyk and flicked the puck over the goalie’s left shoulder.The Coyotes kept up the pressure as they have all season, putting at least 30 shots on goal for the fifth time in five games. But Dubnyk turned aside shot after shot the rest of the way.“I thought we had our chances,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. “When you don’t score http://www.sanjosesharksteamshop.com/authentic-joe-thornton-jersey , everything is magnified. That’s the problem.”The Wild tied it early in the second on Granlund’s second goal of the season. Granlund gathered a pass from Jared Spurgeon near the blue line, skated into the high slot and fired a wrist shot that appeared to fool Kuemper, beating him on the glove side.Coming on the heels of a 4-2 loss at Nashville on Monday, Staal said the win was especially gratifying, even this early in the season.“Guys know what’s at stake and what we need to do to win. We needed to get this one,” he said. “We knew it. After last night, we were obviously happy with the way we competed but at the end of the day, it’s about results and we didn’t get the result last night. So we needed to get today, and we gutted it out.”NOTES: Wild captain Mikko Koivu missed the game to attend the birth of his third child. .
