BOSTON -- Torey Krug became an instant favourite in Boston when he was called up during last years playoffs and had four goals in the first five NHL post-season
games of his career.

Allen USC Jersey . After a quick start this season, with six goals in
about a month, the 22-year-old defenceman slowed down and was scoreless for 11
straight games. In the first period Saturday against Winnipeg, he had a giveaway
in the Bruins zone that helped the Jets take a 1-0 lead. "Thats frustrating,"
said Krug, who assisted on the tying goal and then scored twice to lead Boston
to a 4-1 victory. "Its all about putting it into the past and forgetting about
it." Daniel Paille also scored for Boston, and Tuukka Rask made 36 saves for the
Bruins before they embark on a three-game California trip. Dustin Byfuglien
scored and Ondrej Pavelec stopped 25 shots for Winnipeg. The Jets have lost two
in a row since bringing a three-game winning streak into the new year. Byfuglien
gave the Jets the lead midway through the first period after Krug failed to
clear the zone. But Boston tied it when Krug coasted in from the blue line and
found Paille on the other side of the crease for quick redirect. The Bruins took
the lead 3 minutes into the second when Krug wristed one through traffic and
made it 3-1 four minutes later when he put another wrist shot on net and it was
redirected past the goalie by Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba. "He handled himself
well. He played well. When hes on top of his game, offensively, he makes things
happen," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Just a few times its about him making
safe plays. Thats a part of his game hes working on." Krug, who got a stick in
the face on his final shift and had two cuts on his lip to show for it, said he
was hoping that the first goal would have been tipped in by Justin Florek, who
was making his NHL debut. The second one was first credited to Carl Soderberg
before it was changed to Krug. "Any time you cant contribute the way you were
before, it can be frustrating," Krug said. Bruins defenceman Adam McQuaid said
it was nice to see Krug contributing goals again. "The guys capable of doing
it," he said. "It brings an element to our D corps that we need." Boston made it
4-1 when Reilly Smith cleaned up after Brad Marchands shot got past Pavelec.
There were three fights in the game, with Zdeno Chara matching up against
Chris Thorburn in the first period, followed 2 seconds later by Matt Fraser and
James Wright. McQuaid fought with former Bruin Mark Stuart in the third period.
"It was an opportunity for me to do something during the game early on, so I was
trying to get into it," Thorburn said. "But any time you can get Chara off the
ice too, a guy of his calibre, thats also a plus." Notes: The Bruins recalled
Florek from Providence of the AHL on an emergency basis for the game. It was his
NHL debut. ... It was Juliens 500th game as Bruins coach. He also coached the
Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils before coming to Boston in 2007. ...
The U.S. womens Olympic hockey team attended the game and received a standing
ovation and "U-S-A!" chant during the second period. ... The Atlanta/Winnipeg
franchise has lost 12 straight in Boston.

doubleheader sweep.SEATTLE -- Lloyd McClendon was hired as manager of the
Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, taking over a rebuilding job that Eric Wedge walked
away from. McClendon becomes the third manager hired by general manager Jack
Zduriencik. Wedge quit at the end of the Mariners fourth straight losing season,
citing differences with the front office on how to move forward with improving
the team. Wedges three-year contract expired after the season. The 54-year-old
McClendon is the 16th full-time manager in club history. He takes over a club
that went 71-91 last year. He will be formally introduced by the team on
Thursday. "I am extremely excited about the opportunity to manage the Seattle
Mariners," McClendon said in a statement. "Seattle has a tremendous group of
talented players and the fans and city should be excited about the clubs future.
Im looking for this group to take a big step forward." Seattle is the fourth
club to fill its managerial vacancy. The Washington Nationals hired Matt
Williams to replace Davey Johnson. The Cincinnati Reds, who fired Dusty Baker
after a 90-win season, went with pitching coach Bryan Price as their new manager
and Detroit chose Brad Ausmus to take over for Jim Leyland -- a job McClendon
interviewed for. The Chicago Cubs are still looking for a manager. McClendon was
the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2001-05, going 336-446 during the
Pirates 20-year stretch of losing seasons. Pittsburgh never won more than 75
games or finished higher than fourth in the NL Central during his tenure and he
was fired in early September of the 2005 season. After Pittsburgh, McClendon
settled into a stable role Leylands staff in Detroit. For eight seasons,
McClendon was a coach for the Tigers, including the last seven as hitting coach.
He interviewed for managerial positions in Seattle and Miami during that
stretch, but never got an offer. "Lloyd is a bright and articulate guy,"
Zduriencik said in the statement. "He has major league managerial experience and
has served in a vital capacity in Detroit under one of the games best managers.
He is a tireless worker and is very respected by the players with whom he has
worked.

as we move the Mariners forward." Zduriencik didnt expect to be in this
position. As of late September, Zduriencik was preparing for Wedge to be around
to continue to rebuild Seattle into a contender. Instead Wedge left and
Zduriencik was tasked with hiring the eighth manager or interim manager for the
franchise since 2002. McClendon was one of five reported finalists for the
Mariners job, a list that included Joey Cora, Oakland bench coach Chip Hale,
Dodgers third base coach Tim Wallach and San Diego bench coach Rick Renteria.
McClendon was the only one of the group with previous major league managerial
experience. Cora had ties to the Mariners franchise from his time as a player in
Seattle. McClendon spent eight seasons in the majors as a player with
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs. He immediately transitioned from a
playing career into coaching, serving as a hitting coach for the Pirates in 1995
until he accepted their managerial position before the 2001 season. McClendon
will likely need time to build a winner in Seattle even with a starting rotation
anchored by AL Cy Young award finalist Hisashi Iwakuma and 2010 Cy Young winner
Felix Hernandez. The Mariners havent been to the post-season since 2001, and
there are numerous roster questions for the club playing in one of baseballs
toughest divisions. Seattle has high hopes for young catcher Mike Zunino,
shortstop Brad Miller and second baseman Nick Franklin. Justin Smoak solidified
himself at first base after showing some consistency at the plate last season
and third baseman Kyle Seager was the Mariners most reliable everyday player.
But even with making a qualifying offer, it seems unlikely slugging designated
hitter Kendrys Morales will accept a $14.1 million, one-year deal when there
could be a bigger pot in free agency. Raul Ibanez hit 29 homers at age 41, but
there its unclear if Seattle wants to bring him back, and hes not a long-term
solution. The rest of the Mariners outfield is unproven and their bullpen
struggled for stretches of the season.
