Its a pitfall of every new team, but were going to continue to push Goaltending was the story on Thursday, from rookie Braden Holtby to future Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur, with two of this seasons best individual stories -- Mike Smith and Brian Elliott -- thrown in for good measure. Scott Cullen looks at the Capitals and Devils tying their respective series while the Coyotes and Blues move to 3-1 leads. HOLTBY STONES BRUINSCapitals rookie G Braden Holtby saved the day for the Capitals, turning aside 44 of the Bruins shots he faced to preserve Washingtons 2-1 win, which tied the series at two games apiece. Its the second time in this series that Holtby has stopped more than 40 shots in a game, accounting for both Capitals wins. Bruins D Zdeno Chara and RW Tyler Seguin led the way with six shots, but RW Rich Peverley was the only one that managed to get one past Holtby. Bruins C David Krejci somehow managed to not record a shot on goal. Washington played the game without C Nicklas Backstrom, who was serving a one-game suspenion for cross-checking Peverley, leaving a more significant role for Mathieu Perreault, who moved up form the fourth line to centre a line with Jason Chimera and Alexander Semin. Semin scored the game-winning goal on a power play late in the second period. The Capitals did get strong efforts from bottom six forwards. C Jay Beagle led all Capitals with five blocked shots and LW Matt Hendricks led the team with seven hits. The Capitals were clinging to a one-goal lead, so a defensive focus was understandable, but LW Alexander Ovechkin played just 1:58 in the third period. If Ovechkin wasnt hurt, thats not exactly a vote of confidence from head coach Dale Hunter. The long-term success of the Capitals will require production from Ovechkin and, now that hes due to return form his suspension, Backstrom and Washington now heads to Boston all even, not a bad place to be as a seventh seed. DEAL WITH THE DEVILSIf the Capitals have a young up-and-comer making noise between the pipes, the Devils go the other way, with 39-year-old Martin Brodeur stopping all 26 Florida shots for the shutout in New Jerseys 4-0 win, evening the series. Brodeur notched his record-setting 24th career playoff shutout. Florida decided to go with Scott Clemmensen in goal. Clemmensen, a 34-year-old former Devil, had never started an NHL playoff game before, but recorded his first playoff win for his relief win on Tuesday. After four goals against on 27 shots, there is now further uncertainty. Do the Panthers go back to starter Jose Theodore? Further complicating matters for Florida, they were missing D Jason Garrison, who was sidelined by a lower body injury. Not only did Garrison put up 16 goals during the regular season, but he plays 22-23 minutes per game and that isnt easy to fill. Dmitry Kulikov saw his role increase Thursday and he led the Panthers with five shots on goal in 24:13 of ice time. New Jerseys attack was led by C Travis Zajac who had a goal and an assist, giving him a team-high four points in the series. Having missed most of the season due to an Achilles injury, Zajacs ability to contribute in a top-six role for the playoffs makes a world of difference for the Devils. Devils D Bryce Salvador recorded his first two-assist game since October 16, 2009, playing 25:18 to lead all Devils in ice time. New Jersey hasnt been able to gain an advantage in the series, despite strong production from their fourth line -- Steve Bernier scored in Game Four, Stephen Gionta in Game Three -- but that has bought them some time and now that Brodeur is coming off a strong game and Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise are getting on the board, the Devils should be a little more optimistic about their chances in the remaining best-of-three in this series. BACK-TO-BACK BOEDKERFor the fourth time in four games, the Phoenix Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks went to overtime and, for the second straight game, Coyotes winger Mikkel Boedker scored the winner, used great speed to get past Nick Leddy in neutral ice, but barely got a shot off under pressure as he reached the Blackhawks goal and it somehow trickled through Corey Crawfords legs. As well as Crawford played in Game Four, it was the second straight game in which the overtime winner was of questionable quality. Chicago forced overtime when Michael Frolik knocked in a rebound off a David Bolland backhand with 1:26 remaining in the third period. It was the second straight game in which Frolik had scored -- a bit of a resurrection for a winger who had been a healthy scratch until Andrew Shaw got suspended. The Blackhawks dominated the game territorially, outshooting Phoenix 23-10 through two periods, but then couldnt mount an attack early in the third period, with the Coyotes scoring twice while registering the first eight shots of the period. In a fit of desperation, then, Chicago recorded the final nine shots on goal of regulation time, getting goals from Frolik and Brendan Morrison, the veteran inserted into the lineup in place of Jamal Mayers. The other addition to the Blackhawks lineup was Brandon Saad, the 19-year-old winger who played two games in Chicago at the start of the season before returning to Saginaw of the OHL, where he scored 76 points in 44 regular season games then added 17 points in 12 playoff games. Saad played 13:11, primarily with Jonathan Toews and Andrew Brunette. The way Chicago has cominated play when they need to score late, it shows how talented they are as a team, but the fact that they have put themselves in a position to need those late goals suggest that they dont apply that talent as consistently as they need to in order to create some separation from the Coyotes. Mike Smith was solid in the Phoenix net in Game Four, stopping 30 of 32 shots but, at some point, the Blackhawks have to figure out how to beat Smith rather than as the obstacle that will prevent them from reaching the second round because, down 3-1, thats the path they are heading down at this point in the series. BLUES IN CONTROLContinuing the theme of Thursday night -- and why not, its playoff hockey -- Blues G Brian Elliott stopped 24 of 25 San Jose shots to backstop the Blues to a 2-1 win, giving them a 3-1 series lead. Patrik Berglund and David Perron each had two assists for the Blues. They were Perrons first points of the series, while Berglund now has six points in four games, leaving him one behind Andy McDonald, who scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal and also recorded seven shots on goal. There was much concern about the Blues ability to score goals this year, considering that they ranked 21st in the league with 2.51 goals per game, but that number is misleading because of all the time missed by McDonald, Perron and Alex Steen (the trio combined to miss 121 games) and now that the Blues are relatively healthy, McDonald is pacing the offence and theyve managed to score enough to take a 3-1 series lead. Blues RW Chris Stewart, who was a healthy scratch in Game Two, continues to play a limited role, but he did record five shots on goal in just 7:25 of ice time against the Sharks in Game Four. Sharks D Dan Boyle continues to play big minutes, skating 30:29 in Game Four, a time on ice total that he last surpassed in a regulation game in November 27, 2010. While Joe Thornton got the Sharks on the board, and leads the team with four points in four games, the Sharks are going to be hard-pressed to mount a comeback without production from Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski, both of whom are still seeking their first points in the series.

They hope to break that trend this week. It starts on Wednesday night when they play host to Sporting Kansas City (9-5-2), a team they beat 2-0 on May 5 for their first and only road victory. Watch Montreal vs. Sporting Kansas City live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV tonight starting at 7pm et/4pm pt. The Impact (5-10-3) are coming off 3-0 losses last week to Toronto FC and D.C. United — teams they earned a win and draw against respectively the first time they faced them this season. That raised the question of whether the club took some opponents by surprise earlier in their expansion season and were put in their place on the second meeting, but midfielder Patrice Bernier wasnt buying that theory. So far, weve been very good against the higher ranked teams and not as great against the lower ranked teams, Bernier said Tuesday. I think its a mental thing, not necessarily that teams have figured out how we play. We had a little low in terms of mental and physical fatigue. We have to adjust quick so it doesnt happen again. Bernier will return from a one-game suspension he picked up for a bad tackle against Torontos Ryan Johnson last week. He missed the debacle in Washington, where an improvised lineup was dominated in sweltering heat at RFK Stadium. Coach Jesse Marsch is expected to go back to a more regular starting 11 against Kansas City. Veteran Donovan Ricketts is back in goal after giving a start to Evan Bush, Zarek Valentin will move from the centre to right back and designated player Marco Di Vaio will line up at striker. Third-place Kansas City is also coming off a pair of losses in which it didnt score — 4-0 at Philadelphia and 1-0 at home against Chicago. The Impact were brought down to earth by their last two outings after winning big against top clubs Seattle and Houston in their first two games at revamped Saputo Stadium, after starting the season at Olympic Stadium. They remain 4-2-2 at home for the season, and need to take advantage of home turf to keep any playoff hopes alive. Were in the period where were having a little low, but we have to realize there are less games to be played than before, so the margin for error is very slim, Bernier said. The chief concern is defence. Montreal has conceded a league-high 32 goals in 18 games, 13 of them off set-piece plays like free kicks and corners. It doesnt help that their two first-string central defenders, Matteo Ferrari (right thigh) and Nelson Rivas (abdominal strain), are injured. Veteran Shavar Thomas and Hassoun Camara are filling in.dddddddddddd Its the overall team mentality and how 11 guys commit to not giving away goals, said Marsch. Its a pitfall of every new team, but were going to continue to push ourselves to deal with set pieces well, to deal with all moments well and to be hard to play against in every spot on the field. We dont have to feel sorry for ourselves about whats not going right. Now, its just about digging in and having guys who are willing to throw it all on the field. They also hope to get Di Vaio going on attack. The former star striker at Bolgna in Italys Serie-A played 55 minutes in his debut against Toronto and came on for the second half against D.C., so far with no results. It appears an adjustment period is needed before he adapts to a new style of soccer and his teammates pick up on how he manoeuvres in the attacking zone. Hes coming from another culture of football, said Bernier, who had to tweak his own game when he joined the Impact after nine years in Europe. You have to adjust to playing in the heat of summer when youre used to playing in the spring and fall. Those things come into play, but I think the main thing is that he hasnt had a pre-season. He only had 10 or 12 days with us. Each time he plays, the more hell be able to show. Di Vaio is part of the clubs growing collection of 30-something Italian veterans looking to close out their careers in MLS. He joined Ferrari and forward Bernardo Corradi, who was leading the club with four goals when his season ended three weeks ago with a knee injury. Rivas, a Colombian, also played in Serie-A. Now the Impact are looking to add a former Italian national team stalwart in 36-year-old central defender Alessandro Nesta. Marsch confirmed that the team has made Nesta an offer and is optimistic he will join the club soon. Wed be in a fortunate position to be able to come to terms with him, said Marsch. Im not sure where its all going to go. The good thing is that its fair to say Alessandro wants to be here. Nesta played the last two 10 seasons at AC Milan. The veteran of three World Cups, including a victory in 2006, has 78 caps for Italy. He attended the Impacts game last week against Toronto. Notes — Marsch said Corradi has returned to Italy to work with the same doctors who treated his previous knee injuries. He is expected to be out for up to six months with a torn ACL.. . . Ferrari took warmup with his teammates, but spent practice on the sidelines working with the teams physiotherapist. Marsch said Ferrari, Rivas, and forward Andrew Wenger (hamstring) are about two weeks away from returning. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys \' \' \' |
