Helder Postiga Jersey . -- Backup goalie Michael Neuvirth is being loaned by the Washington Capitals to their AHL
affiliate in Hershey for a conditioning program after missing time with a

played for the Capitals since Nov. 22. A week later, he missed a scheduled start
after hurting himself when he stepped on a puck during warmups. In seven games
with Washington this season, Neuvirth is 2-3-1 with a 2.83 goals-against average
and .912 save percentage. In 128 career NHL games, all with the Capitals, he is
57-38-12 with seven shutouts, a 2.67 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Washington

Hugo Almeida Portugal Jersey .com) - Gustav Nyquist scored the lone goal of the shootout as the Detroit Red Wings clawed
their way back from a three-goal deficit to defeat the New Jersey Devils, 5-4,
on Friday.HAMILTON, Ont. -- The Hamilton Bulldogs are focused on keeping their
composure period by period as their season winds down. Christian Thomass
second-period goal stood as the winner and Dustin Tokarski made 27 saves as the
Bulldogs defeated the Abbotsford Heat 2-1 on Wednesday in the American Hockey
League. "Tonight we stayed composed, even when we thought we had another goal in
the third period," said Hamilton head coach Sylvain Lefebvre. "We kept working,
and we have to get used to playing those tight hockey games. "Thats what gets
you to the playoffs, and thats what helps you win hockey games when you get
there." A post-season berth is far from Hamiltons grasp, however. The Bulldogs
remain 10 points back of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western
Conference, with just 14 games to play. Mike Blunden and Gabriel Dumont also
scored for Hamilton (27-30-5). Chris Breen had the lone goal for the Heat
(34-23-7), who have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Aaron Dell stopped 36 shots.
Michael Bournival made his debut for the Bulldogs on Wednesday, having been sent
to the team by the Montreal Canadiens a day earlier on a conditioning
assignment. After playing 50 games for Montreal in his rookie season, the
forward suffered a concussion in a Feb. 6 game against the Vancouver Canucks,
and was cleared for contact on March 14. His insertion in the Bulldogs lineup
provided a much-needed boost to the top line, and the combination of Bournival,
Sven Andrighetto and Thomas used its speed to great effect against the Heat in
the first period. Thomas was very pleased with the lines first game together,
and felt comfortable playing alongside Bournival, who he came across several
times at the junior level. "Its always tough playing with a new guy, but
(Bournival) fits in really well and brings a lot of speed," he said. "Ive known
him for a long time, and grew up playing with him at world junior camps. "Ive
seen him quite a bit, and obviously he has some NHL experience. But he plays a
hard game and that always helps your line." Hamilton was getting the best of
play, but it was Abbootsford that opened the scoring at 8:56.

the open Breen as he glided into the high slot. The defenceman released a
mid-range wrist shot that Tokarski only partially connected with, and the puck
trickled over the goal-line. It was Breens first goal of the season. Pressure
did eventually pay off for Hamilton, as Blunden stole the puck from Abbotsford
defender Shane OBrien to create an equalizing goal. The winger moved in alone on
Dell and shifted from backhand to forehand before lofting a shot over the far
shoulder of the goaltender at 17:55. Blunden nearly scored his second of the
game with 10 minutes to play in the second period, as Dell kicked a Morgan Ellis
slap shot from the point out to his right and the winger narrowly missed a tap
in attempt at the post. Thomas did better with Hamiltons next scoring chance, as
the Bulldogs took the lead at 12:42. After a period and a half of successful
forechecking, Hamiltons top line got on the board when Bournival fought off a
defender along the right wing and fired a low wrist shot that Dell knocked into
the path of Thomas to his right. The rookie winger did the rest, slotting a
quick shot past the sprawling goaltender from close range. Consecutive penalties
to Nathan Beaulieu posed a late challenge for the Bulldogs, but their penalty
killing unit responded well to hold the lead through 40 minutes of play.
Hamilton entered play on Wednesday with an 18-0-1 record when leading after two
periods. Tokarski did his part to preserve the lead, snatching a Max Reinhart
wrist shot out of the air from point blank range with just under six minutes to
play. His save was rewarded at the other end of the ice, as Dumont was awarded a
penalty shot after being tripped with a clear path to the net, and made good on
the chance. Slowly skating toward Dell, Dumont stopped abruptly and shifted to
his forehand to tuck the puck in behind him at 16:01 of the third period.
Neither team made use of their power plays on Wednesday, as Hamilton went 0 for
2 while Abbotsford was 0 for 3.
