GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Derek Morris and his Phoenix Coyotes teammates have their offence going strong and are piling up victories. Mikkel Boedker scored the lone shootout goal in the fifth round to lift the Coyotes to a 5-4 win over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night after falling into an early three-goal deficit. "It was a Jekyll-and-Hyde night," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said, "a perfect ending." Morris scored, Jordan Szwarz added his first NHL goal for Phoenix, which has points in 10 of its past 11 games and is 9-3-2 on the season. Ten Phoenix players recorded at least a point. "I think we all believe we all can contribute in some way or form," Morris said. "We believe in ourselves. I dont know if theres ever a good way to fall behind, but we were fortunate to make it 4-4." Thomas Greiss made 36 saves and stopped all five shootout attempts for the Coyotes, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit. "I think it depends on how you fall behind," Tippett said. "After the first period, its not like we thought we were dead and out of it. The feeling was lets see if we can get a break and well get back into it." David Legwand had a goal and two assists -- all in the first period -- and Matt Hendricks, Eric Nystrom and Paul Gaustad also scored for the Predators. Nashville was playing the first game of a franchise-record 17-day, seven-game road swing to accommodate the Country Music Awards on Nov. 6 at Bridgestone Arena. "We shot ourselves in the foot," Nystrom said. "That cant happen. Its tough. We should have had two points in that game, 100 per cent." Gaustad gave the Predators a 4-2 lead on a rebound at 4:15 of the third before the Coyotes rallied. Doan cut the lead to 4-3 on a power-play goal from the bottom of the left circle at 6:16. A little more than two minutes later, Doan found a streaking Antoine Vermette skating down the slot behind the Predators defence. "We made too many mistakes," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "Thats not smart hockey." Defenceman Seth Jones, who had started toward the bench for a line change, hooked Vermette down but not before the centre slid the puck between Carter Huttons pads. Hendricks gave the Predators a 1-0 lead at 9:00 of the first period, taking a long outlet pass from Legwand at the Phoenix blue line and scoring from the top of the right circle. Nystrom made it 2-0 at 14:12, fighting off Lauri Korpikoski in front of the net and scoring off a pass from Patric Hornqvist standing at the bottom of the left circle. Nashville had a two-man advantage for 62 seconds near the end of the period and Legwand took advantage, bouncing a shot from just off the goal line right of the net off the right skate of Coyotes defenceman Zbynek Michalek standing at the top of the crease. Michalek set up Szwarz early in the second with a cross-ice pass and the rookie, playing in his second career game, lofted a soft wrist shot toward the net which slid under Huttons glove. Morris cut the lead to 3-2 at 9:51 of the period on a rising slap shot from the top of the right circle. Doan nearly tied the game with six minutes left in the period, slipping a shot between Huttons pads, but Viktor Stalberg reached behind the goalie and cleared the puck inches off the goal line. Hutton finished with 21 saves. NOTES: Tippett tied Bobby Francis for first place on the franchise wins list with 156. ...

TORONTO -- Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos sounded like a parent defending young slugger Brett Lawrie. A good kid who didnt mean to do bad. Caught up in the emotion of the moment. He shouldnt have done it, but hes only human. "Im not going to blame him (Lawrie) for being upset," Anthopoulos told reporters Wednesday after Lawrie was suspended for four games in the wake of hitting umpire Bill Miller with his helmet. "Thats what a competitor is. I think anybody in a normal circumstance would get upset, its just the way you deal with it." Lawries temper tantrum over two controversial strike calls resulted in the ban from Major League Baseball on Wednesday. After being ejected by Miller following a called third strike Tuesday night in the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss to Tampa, Lawrie slammed his batting helmet into the ground. Unfortunately for the fiery 22-year-old from Langley, B.C., the helmet bounced up and smacked Millers hip. Lawrie has appealed the suspension, meaning he was in the lineup Wednesday against the visiting New York Yankees. His defence? "In a nutshell, its just I didnt mean to hit him," he said. "I feel I have the right to explain my side of the story about what happened," he added. Lawrie apologized after the game Tuesday and said Wednesday he planned to speak to Miller directly to apologize. He didnt have too far to look. His third base companion for the night was none other than Miller, who made the normal umpire rotation from home plate to the hot corner. Miller and his colleagues were roundly booed as they walked on the field Wednesday. Lawrie drew warm applause when he came to the plate in the second inning, grounding into a forceout and then stealing second before being driven in by a J.P. Arencibia homer. Lawrie, who went into Wednesdays game with a club-best .308 average in May, finished the night without a hit and struck out twice without making a fuss. Helmetgate did manage, at last briefly, to deflect the spotlight from a Jays team that had lost three straight and seven of its last 10 going into Wednesdays 8-1 win over the Yankees before 28,915 under the dome. Walks and errors had featured prominently earlier in the week but the Jays (20-18) won with the long ball Wednesday with homers from Arencibia, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Bautista and Kelly Johnson. Manager John Farrell said the spotlight on Lawrie had not affected his team, which he said has shown all season that it can separate itself from whatever happened the previous day. "They came out very focused, a lot of energy, and a lot of good at bats," he said. "So it wasnt a distraction, I think, by any means." In a city with a history of bad bounces, Anthopoulos even cited physics at one point in trying to put the Lawrie incident in perspective. "He shouldnt throw his helmet. Goes without saying ... He didnt throw it at anybody, it happened to bounce and hit someone. So if he had turned a little to his right, a little to his left, I think youre probably not even involved in an any type of suspension." The GM rreturned to that analysis later in his talk with reporters, including the stadiums artificial turf in the equation.dddddddddddd "If he had thrown the helmet a little bit to the right or left, were not having this conversation today," he said. "If the turf, like sometimes itll do with some of the balls, it would have kicked the helmet right or left, I think we would have been fine, " he added. Lawrie, who was fined an undisclosed amount in addition to the ban, also cited a bad bounce. "Im just playing the game the way Ive always played it. Thats the passion that I have for the game and I dont feel like I need to change anything." "The only thing I would change is maybe not throw the helmet or throw any equipment towards an umpire because you know you can get an unlucky hop and have kind of the mess thats going on right now." Farrell spoke up in support of Lawries attitude, although he said the youngster would learn from the good and bad he encounters on his major league journey. "Hes an energetic player and we dont want him to lose that energy and that passion for the game and that will to compete and do whatever he has in his power at the moment to make an impact on the game." Said Anthopoulos: "As good a kid as youre every going to be around." The Jays GM said the team supported Lawries opportunity to explain himself. He also said he wanted to hear the rationale for the suspension being four games. "And look, if someone explains that four is the right amount, Brett will be the first one to say its the right amount." Mondays confrontation seems minor compared to some in other sports. But Lawries raw enthusiasm rubs some the wrong way. Baseball is rife with tradition, which in some quarters is long on respect and paying dues. Payback, even with umpires, is not unheard of. Asked if the 3-2 strike call was made out of spite, Anthopoulos paused. "I dont think the umpires would ever do their job that way," he replied diplomatically. Farrell, meanwhile, denied the suggestion that his team is developing a reputation about complaining to umpires. Farrell, critical of Millers calls that sparked the ruckus, said replays and reflection had not changed his view of the incident. "No different. They confirmed my thoughts at the time," said the manager, who said he had already spoken to league officials and expected a fine of his own. As for Lawrie, he said he was looking forward not back. "I woke up today with a smile on my face and a new day at the ball park. Looking forward to coming to get a win against the Yankees today." Lawrie demonstrated that enthusiasm by hammering a ball into the highest level of the Rogers Centre by the left-field foul post during batting practice. There was some mild umpire scrutiny in the seventh inning Wednesday when the Yankees Jayson Nix was called out at second base on a forceout. Replays showed he may have been hard done by. The Jays said the search continues for the fan who hit Miller with a beer on the shoulder as he walked off the pitch Tuesday. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
