| e Jets a 2-1 win over third |
| EDMONTON - It was just last week that the Edmonton Oilers and the Carolina Hurricanes were the two remaining teams without a win in the NHL.Things have picked up for one of those clubs.Jordan Eberle had two goals and an assist as the Oilers won their third straight game, defeating the Hurricanes 6-3 on Friday.Jesse Joensuu, Leon Draisaitl, Matt Hendricks and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for the Oilers (3-4-1), who have turned things around on their current homestand after a troubling beginning to the season.We found a way to win in the third, and thats the most important thing, Eberle said. We got the win, we got the two points. Thats something we werent doing last year. We have a little bit of a streak going here.Eberles goals were his first two of the season.Its definitely nice to get the monkey off my back, he said. It seems like its the same every year, you get one and I feel good and I start playing my game again.Its funny how it works, you get one and the net turns into a soccer net.Joensuu said he feels the current Oilers group has a bit more composure this year.Last year we had some frustrating losses in games like this, he said. This time it was a good frustration in some of the guys. We knew we had the tools to win the game, we have the skill in this room. We said lets go out and do it instead of talking about it.Riley Nash, Jeff Skinner and Jay Harrison responded for the Hurricanes, the only team in the NHL yet to record a win. They are off to a franchise-worst 0-5-2 start.It was tough the way it ended, its tough to swallow, Skinner said. We showed some character coming back as many times as we did. We just couldnt find that one goal to put us up.Harrison said the Hurricanes need to find a solution to their winless woes — and fast.Were a bit emotional in here right now, he said.We knew it wasnt going to be easy and it is not going to get any easier. Its up to the guys in this room to get us out of this. Were professional athletes and nobody is going to feel sorry for us. We have to continue to get better and work our way out of this. It is the only way.There was almost an early start to the scoring as Hurricane Jay McClement hit a post behind Oilers starter Ben Scrivens in the opening minute.Carolina had 15 shots on Scrivens in a scoreless first period, while the Oilers put 10 on Anton Khudobin in the Hurricanes net.Edmonton finally scored the first goal of the game midway through the second period as Eberle picked off Harrisons clearing pass and went in on a two-on-one, dishing it off to Taylor Hall before getting it back and scoring his first goal of the season.Carolina tied the game up with five minutes left in the middle frame as Nash tipped a Justin Faulk point shot past Scrivens to make it 1-1.The Oilers regained the advantage two minutes later as Khudobin mishandled a Nikita Nikitin shot, allowing Joensuu to bang in the rebound from the doorstep.However, Carolina came right back to knot the game 2-2 with two minutes left in the second as Skinner fought off Martin Marincin and then sniped the top corner for his first of the year.Edmonton moved ahead once more four-and-a-half minutes into the third period with a power-play goal as Eberle used Hall as a screen before beating Khubodin glove-side with a slap shot. Carolina complained that there should have been a penalty on the play to Edmontons Benoit Pouliot after breaking his stick on a slash of Hurricane defender Brett Bellemore, who then turned the puck over to Eberle.The Hurricanes battle back eight minutes into the third as Scrivens got caught out of position after trying to play the puck behind the net, allowing Harrison to score on a wrist shot through traffic.Edmonton went up 4-3 with seven minutes left as Draisaitl scored his first NHL goal, picking up his own rebound and sending a backhand into the net.It was really exciting, thats something that every hockey player as a kid dreams about, said the German product. To make this happen with this team is even more special.Draisaitl, the third overall pick in the 2014 Entry Draft, was playing his eighth game with one more to go before the Oilers need to decide whether to keep him for the entire season or send him down to junior with Prince Albert of the Western Hockey League.It was good that he (Draisaitl) stayed with the puck, he had the chance and then to get the goal, that was a big burden off his back, said Oilers coach Dallas Eakins. I dont know if hes ever in his life gone that long with only a point or two. Its not mandatory for him to get points every night, but it wears on a kid like that when he doesnt.The Oilers added some insurance with four minutes left as Hall raced to negate an icing and then crowded the front of the net, allowing Nugent-Hopkins to score his third goal in as many games.Hendricks sealed the deal with an empty-net goal.We need a win, sooner rather than later, said Hurricanes head coach Bill Peters. Its a good group of guys who work hard. They believe and they work for each other. It will happen, we just have to stay with it.The Oilers play the fifth game of a season-long seven-game homestand against the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. The Hurricanes conclude a five-game road trip in Vancouver on Tuesday. Nike Air Huarache Shop Online . -- The Phoenix Coyotes have re-signed centre Andy Miele to a one-year, two-way contract. Nike Air Huarache Nere .15 million. The 29-year-old Emery compiled a 15-9-4 record and 2.81 goals-against-average in 34 appearances for the Blackhawks this year, his first season in Chicago. http://www.maxscarpesaldi.com/nike-air-max-2015-outlet/air-max-2015-uomo.html. Canada played to its second-straight 1-1 draw Tuesday, coming from behind to tie Moldova in a friendly. Canada also tied Bulgaria 1-1 in a friendly last week. Tuesdays result means Canadas 16-game winless streak that dates back to October 2012 remains intact as the team still searches for its first win in seven games under Floros leadership. Nike Air Max Uomo Miglior Prezzo . -- Nearly everything had to go right for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to pull off their latest comeback. Nike Air Max 90 Donna Nere-Oro . The 26-year-old Matuidi has been one of PSGs key players, playing an important role in the French league title run last year. The France international was out of contract in June and had been linked with a big-money move to English Premier League side Manchester City.SYDNEY - Melbourne City beat the Melbourne Victory 1-0 in a local derby and helped the Perth Glory increase their first-place lead to six points in the A-League.Midfielder Erik Paartalus goal from a header on a cross from Mate Dugandzic in the final minute Saturday moved City into the Australian leagues top six.The second-place Victory, meanwhile, saw the gap between them and the Glory widen. Chris Harold scored twice and Danny De Silva added an insurance goal with a 25-yard strike to give Perth a 4-1 home win over the Central Coast Mariners.With the Glory leading 2-1, De Silva latched onto Harolds lob pass, tapped the ball up for himself while backing into a defender and smashed a volley into the net.Harold and Ireland striker Andy Keogh gave Perth a 2-0 first-half lead before Matt Simon scored four minutes into the second half to pull Central Coast to within one. But De Silvas goal andd Harolds second in the 78th gave the Glory their ninth win and a draw in 11 matches.dddddddddddd.On Friday, Argentine striker Jeronimo Neumanns 81st-minute goal gave the Newcastl-place Adelaide United for their first win of the season. Scott Neville had given the Jets the lead four minutes into the second half, but Craig Goodwin equalized for Adelaide with 20 minutes remaining.The Jets also have four draws in 11 matches.They were magnificent and everyone involved with the club deserves it, Newcastle coach Phil Stubbins said. People have doubted us but this is a really nice feeling.Fourth-place Sydney FC hosts fifth-place Wellington on Sunday to conclude the 11th round.The Asian Champions League winners Western Sydney Wanderers, returning from Morocco after a sixth-place finish at the Club World Cup, had a weekend bye, as did the Brisbane Roar.
