CLEVELAND -- New Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine has his play caller. Kyle Shanahan was hired as offensive co-ordinator Monday after spending the previous four years in the same role with the Washington Redskins. Pettine, hired Jan. 23 to replace Rob Chudzinski, is in his first job as an NFL head coach. His experience is as a defensive assistant, so he will rely heavily on Shanahan, whos been a co-ordinator for the last six seasons and has 10 years as an NFL assistant. An experienced co-ordinator is crucial as Cleveland tries to turn around its fortunes. The Browns, who had four offensive players in the Pro Bowl, are expected to select a quarterback early in Mays draft and Shanahan will have a hand in his development. Shanahan, 34, got his first job as a co-ordinator in 2008 when he was hired by Houston at 28 years old. After two seasons there, he joined his father, Mike, head coach of the Washington Redskins. Both Shanahans spent four seasons with Washington before being fired Dec. 30 after a 3-13 season. They also clashed with quarterback Robert Griffin III. But Kyle Shanahan brings a strong resume to the Browns. His offences have ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in yardage four of his six seasons as a co-ordinator, including the last two in Washington. Shanahan ran a version of the West Coast Offense, incorporating the pistol formation and read option, and the Redskins in 2012 became the first team in NFL history to pass for 3,400 yards and rush for 2,700. They led the league in yards per play (6.17), won the rushing title and Griffin set league rookie records for passer rating (102.4), interception percentage (1.27) and rushing yards by a quarterback (815). The record slipped in 2013, but the Redskins ranked ninth in total yards per game (369.7) and fifth in rushing (135.3). Receiver Pierre Garcon set a franchise record and led the NFL with 113 receptions. The Browns interviewed Raiders quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo on Thursday. Shanahan replaces veteran co-ordinator and three-time head coach Norv Turner. The Browns allowed him to explore other jobs after Chudzinski was fired, and Turner was hired as co-ordinator by new Vikings coach Mike Zimmer. The Cleveland offence ranked 27th in scoring (19.3 points per game), 18th in total yardage (338.9), 11th passing (252.5) and tied for 27th rushing (86.4). Last week, Pettine hired Jim ONeil as defensive co-ordinator and retained special teams co-ordinator Chris Tabor. Cody Latimer Jersey .

A regulation win by Nashville tonight would put the Blackhawks and Predators in a tie for the division lead at 50 points apiece, but the latter club owns the current tiebreaker due to having played two fewer games. The Blackhawks, however, have won two of three meetings against Nashville this season and tonights matchup marks the season series finale. The Preds are 4-1-1 over the last six meetings against Chicago, but the Blackhawks have won four of the past six tilts in the Windy City. Nashville enters tonight having won four of its last five games and Peter Laviolettes club emerged from the Christmas break with Saturdays 4-1 home victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. It was Laviolettes first game against the Flyers since he was fired as the clubs head coach just three games into the 2013-14 season. The Predators dominated the Flyers in the special teams battle, converting three of five power-play opportunities while killing off all four of Philadelphias chances with the man advantage. Nashville cashed in when Matt Read and Claude Giroux were sent off 26 seconds apart in the latter portion of the second period for the Flyers. The Predators scored twice in a span of 38 seconds to go up by a 3-1 count. That was big, said Laviolette. I thought that the 5-on-3 we had lots of looks, lots of attempts. The 5-on-4 goal, to come back and get one right after, that was really important. Pekka Rinne stopped 26 shots for the win and Colin Wilson scored twice forr the Preds.dddddddddddd Filip Forsberg and Mike Fisher each had a goal and an assist. Prior to Saturday, Nashville had gone 2-for-48 at home (4.2 percent) while skating with the extra man but finished 3-for-5. Its nice getting (the power play) going, Wilson said. We need confidence in our power play. Hopefully it gets us going. Chicago also posted a win Saturday, notching a 5-2 triumph in Colorado behind a three-point night from Patrick Kane. Kane tallied two goals and an assist to help the Blackhawks bounce back from Tuesdays 5-1 home loss against Winnipeg. Brandon Saad, Brent Seabrook and Patrick Sharp all scored and Jonathan Toews supplied two assists for the Blackhawks, who went 2-for-4 on the power play while stopping all three of Colorados opportunities with the man advantage. Corey Crawford turned aside 23-of-25 shots for the win. We knew it wouldnt be easy, Toews said. We just came out and played the right type of game. The Blackhawks had won eight straight on home ice before Winnipeg dealt them their first setback at United Center since Nov. 7 against Washington. Chicago boasts a 12-4-1 mark at home, where it will play three of its next four games. Nashville, which plays at home tomorrow night against St. Louis, is 10-7-1 as the visiting team in 2014-15. Crawford is expected to start tonight for Chicago. He is 8-7-1 with a 2.69 goals against average against the Predators. Rinne has started 30 of 34 games for Nashville this season, but backup Carter Hutton could give him a breather tonight or Tuesday. Rinne is 14-11-3 with a 2.49 GAA in his career against Chicago and is 15-12-4 with a 2.15 GAA versus the Blues.
