RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes havent had much to celebrate
lately. Against the New York Rangers, its been years.
The Hurricanes changed both story lines Tuesday night with a 3-1 win
against the Rangers.
Carolina made the most of a goal and assist from both Jordan Staal and
Jiri Tlusty to snap a 10-game losing streak against New York.
"You have to wake up and just be confident in our game and our system
and keep moving forward and looking ahead," Staal said. "The last couple
games weve had havent been a great result, but our effort has always
been there. Its nice to get a good result."
Carolina had lost seven of eight to fall well behind in the Metropolitan
Division race. The Hurricanes were outscored 30-16 in that stretch.
Elias Lindholm added an insurance goal for Carolina late in the third
period. Cam Ward made 24 saves for his first win since Dec. 31.
"It has been a struggle for myself," Ward said. "I havent had that much
of an opportunity to get back in there. . When you dont play, you put so
much emphasis on one game that it can get you thinking too much.
Tonight, (I was) just be able to shut it off and have some fun."
Kevin Klein had the Rangers goal, scoring for the first time since being
acquired from Nashville on Jan. 22. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 32 shots.
"Not that I dont want to give credit to Carolina because they played a
good game, but we (gave) away two points because we didnt work," Rangers
coach Alain Vigneault said. "I have not said that very often about the
group this year, but right from the start, our work ethic wasnt what it
needs to be in this league to have any chance."
The Rangers had outscored the Hurricanes 40-19 in the teams previous 10
meetings, including a 4-2 road victory on Friday. Before Tuesday,
Carolinas last win against the Rangers was Jan. 20, 2011.
The Rangers, 8-4-1 in their past 13 games, remained one point ahead of
Philadelphia for second place in the Metropolitan Division. Teddy Bridgewater Jersey.
"I think we have to make a lot better decisions with the puck,
especially in our own end," forward Derek Stepan said. "Offensively,
were a pretty skilled team, but to win hockey games, we have to make
sure we do the dirty work in our own end and make good decisions. I felt
like tonight we made it a little bit too easy for them to get in front
and create chances."
Carolina took a 1-0 lead just 33 seconds into the second period.
Alexander Semin worked hard to control the puck in the offensive zone,
eventually feeding it back to Andrej Sekera at the point. Sekera passed
to Staal along the goal line, and Staal slid the puck under defenceman
Anton Stralman to Tlusty for a one-timer that beat Lundqvist.
New York tied it 1-1 just 3:49 later when Mats Zuccarello found Klein
trailing the play on a rush. Klein was open in the slot, and his wrist
shot went above Wards left shoulder.
Carolina took a 2-1 lead with 1:42 left in the second. Staal outraced
Stralman for the puck along the boards in the Rangers zone and knocked
it in front of Lundqvist. Tlusty gathered the puck to the right of
Lundqvist and fed it back to a wide-open Staal before New Yorks defence
could recover.
Lindholm finished the scoring with 5:29 remaining off a rebound of
Jeff Skinners original shot.
"I think we played a really strong 60 minutes of hockey," Carolina coach
Kirk Muller said. "There was still a lot of fighting with these guys. .
Hopefully tonight is that big win that we build on."
NOTES: Carolinas Jay Harrison played in his 300th NHL game. ... The
Hurricanes John-Michael Liles missed his second straight game with an
ORLANDO, Fla. John Randle Jersey . -- Rashard Lewis didnt join the Miami Heat last season with any
illusions of expecting to log the minutes he did earlier in his career.
That doesnt mean the veteran forward isnt capable of contributing
quality minutes when the Heat need them.
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh each had 20 points, and Lewis added 18 points
in just his second start of the season as the Miami Heat rallied to
beat the Orlando Magic 110-94 Saturday night.
"Were a veteran team and Im used to it after playing last year. You just
have to be mentally ready to go when your name is called upon," Lewis
said. "With the type of team we have you might play 20 minutes and you
might play 5 minutes. Youve just got to be ready."
Lewis started in place of Shane Battier, who sat out to rest a sore
quadriceps. He gave quality minutes all night, hitting three 3-pointers.
He also had eight points during a third-quarter run, before the Heats
big three then caught fire in the fourth to secure the victory.
LeBron James had 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.
The Heat won their eighth straight over the Magic. It was also Miamis
22nd consecutive divisional victory, leaving it just one win short of
tying Bostons NBA record of 23 set in 1961.
Miami kept its streak going despite James 5-for-13 shooting night.
Wade has been pacing himself recently in back-to-back games, but started
Saturday. Miami hosts Toronto on Sunday. The Raptors are one of the
leagues hottest teams, winning five straight and eight of their last 10.
They currently lead the Atlantic Division.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said its something theyre aware of, but
nothing theyll put too much emphasis on.
"Weve been noticing," Spoelstra said. "Theyve been playing very good
basketball. We mentioned that about the Eastern Conference. It is way
too premature to figure out where teams are. There are teams that have
higher ceilings, and theyre one of them."
The Magic were without starting centre Nik Vucevic, who missed his
second straight game with a sprained left ankle. But they managed to
stay in the game by spacing the floor and getting some easy layups. They
fell apart down the stretch, though, as Miami began to rack up points
inside.
Jameer Nelson led Orlando with 21 points and Tobias Harris added 17
points and 10 rebounds.
The Magic lost their third straight.
"They got out in transition and Im always talking about how offence
helps your defence, and we couldnt get anything going," Magic coach
Jacque Vaughn said.
The Magic tried to adjust to Vucevics absence by shifting Glen Davis to
centre and inserting Andrew Nicholson in to start at power forward.
Nicholson played only six minutes, but was pulled in the first quarter
and didnt return.
While Nicholson struggled defensively, Davis took advantage of Battiers
absence and had a lot of early success inside to keep the Magic in it.
The Magic clung to a 57-54 lead early in the third quarter before a
layup by James ignited a 19-2 Heat run that put Miami back in front
73-59.
Lewis had six points during the run, including a four-point play.
The Magic never got closer than nine in the fourth quarter.
Arron Afflalo, the Magics leading scorer, said he hopes a five-game road
trip -- which begins on Monday -- can help him break out of a recent
shooting slump. He has shot under 40 per cent in each of the Magics last
three games.
"Its getting back to that point again, we just want to win," he said.
"Regardless of any and everything, each and every night, whether its
this or that -- we just want to win."
Bosh said hes excited about his latest matchup against the Raptors.
"This is going to be a huge game for them," he said. "We know they have a
lot of confidence and have had some big games and big wins on the road.
... We are going to have to make sure we let them know what is really
important for us at home and what a true champion plays like."
NOTES: The Magic dropped to 1-15 when their opponent scores 100 or more
points. ... The Magic waived reserve big man Solomon Jones following the
game. Jones appeared in 11 games this season, averaging 1.3 points and
1.5 rebounds. He was signed by the Magic as a free agent prior to
training camp.
