The Canucks put the Blackhawks on the brink, the Predators dominated in a one-goal win and the Rangers werent ready to roll over against the Capitals. WASHINGTON-NY RANGERSThe Rangers outshot the Capitals 35-25, including 16-11 in the third period, in what was a must-win game for the Blueshirts to stay in the series. Brandon Dubinsky paced the Rangers, not only scoring the winning goal with 1:39 left in the third period, but he also assisted on the Rangers second goal, was plus-2 for the game and played a game-high 25:45. As the Rangers wait for Marian Gaborik to light the lamp for the first time since March 20, its imperative that Dubinsky contribute and he did that and more Sunday. Dubinsky also has a bit of a rivalry going with Capitals superstar Alexander Ovechkin who, in the losing effort, still put up a goal and an assist. Times are changing for Ovechkin. He played 19:32, which is a full nights work for many forwards, yet it ranked fourth among Washington forwards. Even though Ovechkin is putting up points, the Rangers have to be satisfied with the efforts of Marc Staal and Dan Girardi who, as the primary defensive pair matched up against Ovechkin, have limited him to three shots on goal in the last two games (something that, incidentally, hasnt happened since December). A shot-blocking force in the first couple of games, Capitals defenceman Karl Alzner was victimized by the Rangers top line in the third period and ended up minus-2 on the game and his 18:19 of ice time was his lowest in the last 17 games. Alexander Semin led the Capitals with six shots on Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, but couldnt find the back of the net. He has one goal -- the OT winner in Game One -- on 11 shots in the series, so hes going to fare better than last years no goals on 44 shots in the first round against Montreal. There was a lot of talk, after two games, about how impressive the Capitals were taking a 2-0 series lead, with perhaps not enough attention paid to the fact that one of the wins came in overtime or that both games were at home. Now, if the Capitals are going to take a stranglehold of this series, theyd better take Game Four at MSG. ANAHEIM-NASHVILLEIn a game that was closer on the scoreboard than it really had a right to be, the Nashville Predators outlasted the Anaheim Ducks 4-3, while outshooting the Ducks 37-16. The Predators seemed to have the game well under control until the Ducks turned the game ugly late in the second period. Some after-the-whistle roughing following a scrap between Ryan Getzlaf and Mike Fisher somehow got the Ducks back into the game. More specifically, Teemu Selanne connected on a power play goal, then tallied again 30 seconds later to knot things at two after two, even though the shots were 27-10 in favour of Nashville at that point. Nashvilles star defence pairing of Ryan Suter and Shea Weber controlled the game. Suter was outstanding, recording two assists and a plus-2 rating while playing a game-high 27:55. Weber played a couple minutes less, but was a tidy plus-3, an effective counter to Anaheims Getzlaf, who was minus-2 and in the dressing room serving his fighting major when Anaheim scored their first two goals. In addition to dropping the gloves with Getzlaf, Fisher scored the winning goal midway through the third period, giving him five points in the first three games of this series. Fisher also finished the regular season on a roll, with eight points in the last seven games so, with 13 points, hes matched the best 10-game point total of his career (Dec. 2007-Jan. 2008). With Bobby Ryan serving the first of his two-game suspension for stomping on Jonathon Blums foot, the Ducks inserted rookie Brandon McMillan on the wing with Getzlaf and Corey Perry. He added a physical element, registering five hits, but didnt have a shot on goal in 18:22 of ice time. Even though the game ended up being close, the Ducks have to be significantly better if they hope to get out of Nashville with a split and its not going to be easy with Ryan out for the next game as well. VANCOUVER-CHICAGOWhile they did end up with a pair of power play goals, the Chicago Blackhawks couldnt capitalize enough on their early power plays to put the Canucks away. Roberto Luongo was terrific, making several spectacular saves to keep it a one-goal game in the first period, giving Vancouver an opportunity to climb back and take the lead. Christian Ehrhoff and the Sedin Twins each had two points and Mikael Samuelsson scored the winner in the third period. The game was hit-and-miss for Chicagos stars, however. Joanthan Toews had two assists and Sharp scored the Blackhawks second goal, but Patrick Kane came up empty, despite playing a season-high 26:15, and Marian Hossa is still looking for his first point of the series. Blackhawks defenceman Brent Seabrook was clocked by Canucks winger Raffi Torres, twice, and while Torres was penalized (leading to Sharps power play goal), it seems reasonable to wonder if the leagues new concussion protocol presents a double-edged sword. On one hand, of course, its good to have players get checked out when there is suspicion of a head injury. On the other, if a bone-rattling (or head-jarring) hit could take a top-pair defenceman out of the game for at least 15 minutes, while they go to the quiet room for observation, that isnt exactly incentive for a forward coming in on the forecheck to think twice about launching at the defencemans noggin. The rules are new, so Im going to be interested to see how they play out. (Its also a different look to see the Blackhawks split up the defence pairing of Seabrook and Duncan Keith, as Keith played with Nick Leddy and Seabrook with Niklas Hjalmarsson in five-on-five situations.) Now that they are up three games to none, the Canucks are on the verge of exorcising their Blackhawks demons. With a lineup that is depleted by injuries, the Blackhawks hope that they might have Dave Bolland back for Game Four, but Chicago effectively needs a miracle to come back in this series. So far its been an impressive showing by Luongo and the Canucks, who appear ready for bigger and better challenges in the next round.

Will Venable tripled and scored in the first, then doubled in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning to back the 37-year-old Suppan and help the Padres to a 3-1 win against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. San Diego won its second series of the season. The Rockies lost their fifth straight game. Suppan (2-0) settled in after the first inning, when he allowed two hits and two walks but gave up only one run. He has won both of his starts since being called up from Triple-A Tucson after lefty Cory Luebke went on the disabled list with a strained elbow. "I learned a lot from last year and I learned a lot from this year," said Suppan, who was signed as a minor league free agent in the off-season. "What Ive learned is to always be ready." Suppan contributed to the go-ahead run when he sacrificed Jason Bartlett, who drew a leadoff walk in the fifth. Venable then followed with a double to left to give the Padres a 2-1 lead against Alex White, (0-1), who was making his season debut. Orlando Hudson added an RBI triple in the eighth. Suppan held Colorado to one run and four hits in five innings, walked two and struck out one. Pacheco doubled to centre with one out in the first. Gonzalez walked before Troy Tulowitzki forced Pacheco at third. Todd Helton singled in Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer walked to load the bases. Suppan got Ramon Hernandez to fly out to right to end the threat. "I had some command issues but I just kind of kept battling," Suppan said. "Basically, from that point on, I took every at-bat like it was its own game and did the best I could. From there, it was the bullpen. The bullpen did a fantastic job making up some innings there." Dale Thayer pitched the ninth for his second save in as many nights. He allowed two singles, giving the Rockies runners on first and third with one out, before Jordan Paachecos single hit Marco Scutaro for the second out.dddddddddddd Thayer struck out Carlos Gonzalez to end it. Venable tripled to left to open the first and scored on Yonder Alonsos two-out single. With two starters on the disabled list, the Rockies called up White and left-hander Christian Friedrich to get them through this three-game series. White was one of four pitchers acquired from Cleveland for Ubaldo Jimenez on July 31. White allowed two runs and six hits in 6 1-3 innings, struck out five and walked two. "I felt good," White said. "I was confident with all my pitches and throwing them where I wanted to. That was very good tonight, to get deep in the game. I know the bullpens thrown a lot of innings. I just wanted to eat some innings and give us a chance late in the game." White stayed in after being hit on the right ankle by Cameron Maybins liner in the fifth. "It was a little numb for a few seconds," he said. "But it felt fine. Then, my two-seamer got better later in the game than it was early." NOTES: A foul ball hit by Venable in the seventh inning bounced into a fans beer along the third-base line. Undaunted, the fan chugged the beer with the ball still in the cup. ... The Padres selected LHP Alex Hinshaw from Triple-A Tucson and optioned OF Blake Tekotte to the same club. They also transferred RHP Micah Owings from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.
