VANCOUVER http://www.officialhurricanes.com/authentic-adidas-jordan-staal-jersey , British Columbia (AP) — behind the goal and had to make a choice: Which way to come out?With goalie Jacob Markstrom was leaning one way, Galchenyuk went back the way he came, scoring 1:54 into overtime on an impressive individual effort to lift the Arizona Coyotes over the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Thursday night.Galchenyuk used a sweeping deke to get around a defender, faked a move behind the net that fooled Markstrom and stuffed the puck in against the near post.“I came in with a little bit of speed and went behind the net and I saw the goalie was looking the other way, so was like, ‘Might as well,'” Galchenyuk said. “And I’m happy it went in.”Jakob Chychrun and Lawson Crouse also scored for Arizona, and Darcy Keumper had 30 saves.Adam Gaudette tied it late in the third period for Vancouver. Bo Horvat also scored, and Markstrom stopped 35 shots.“I can only imagine how painful that was to watch as a fan,” Canucks defenseman Troy Stetcher said. “There wasn’t much flow, not much creativity. It’s kind of one of those games that we knew coming in was going to be like that.”The Coyotes moved within a point of Minnesota for the final wild card in the Western Conference. Vancouver is another point behind Arizona.The Canucks had just four shots on goal in the third period Womens Justin Faulk Jersey , compared to 20 from the Coyotes, including the goals from Chychrun and Crouse to go ahead 2-1.“When you have the lead, you want to protect it and you don’t want to be running gunning for offense late in games,” Horvat said. “I thought we sat back a little bit too much and they kind of took it to us. It wasn’t good enough.”Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said he told his players to stick with their game during the second intermission.“I’m a big believer, you want the puck in situations like that. You can’t be that guy that hopes it doesn’t come to you. I just told them, ‘Be that guy that wants the puck. Embrace it,'” he said.Gaudette tied it up with 3:03 left, snapping in a one-timer less than two minutes after Crouse’s go-ahead goal.NOTES: Ryan Spooner made his Canucks debut on Thursday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After the Columbus Blue Jackets beefed up their roster at the NHL trade deadline for a Metropolitan Division playoff run, the injury-plagued Pittsburgh Penguins came to town looking more vulnerable than usual.Missing some top defensemen, the Penguins jumped out to a three-goal lead anyway and then held off the new-look Blue Jackets Justin Williams Jersey , cruising to a 5-2 win Tuesday night in a game marked by monster hits and scuffles.Jared McCann scored twice and Matt Murray made 21 saves as Pittsburgh — which began the day tied for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference — snapped a two-game skid.The Penguins were without blue-liners Kris Letang (upper body) and Brian Dumoulin (concussion), who were hurt in the outdoor game Saturday at Philadelphia. Pittsburgh defenseman Ollie Maata was already on injured reserve with a separated shoulder.But the Penguins held Columbus in check, even after another defenseman, Chad Ruhwedel, went out after a big hit from Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno. Ruhwedel and wing Bryan Rust, injured in a violent collision with Columbus newcomer Adam McQuaid, will be evaluated Wednesday, coach Mike Sullivan said.Jake Guentzel, Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby also scored for Pittsburgh.“We’ve got nothing but character in here, for sure,” Murray said. “It’s tough seeing teammates go down http://www.officialhurricanes.com/authentic-adidas-rod-brind_amour-jersey , they were important guys for us, so we had a job to do and tonight everybody stepped up, so it was awesome to see.”Oliver Bjorkstrand and Cam Atkinson scored and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 22 shots for the Blue Jackets, who lost after posting back-to-back shutouts last week and making a flurry of moves before Monday’s trade deadline. Columbus started the day in third place in the division.Columbus added center Matt Duchene, wing Ryan Dzingel, defenseman McQuaid and goalie Keith Kinkaid. All but Kinkaid played on Tuesday night, with Dzingel, a former star at Ohio State, picking up an assist for his new team.Crosby sent a centering pass from the left corner to Guentzel in the slot and he went top shelf on Bobrovsky with 6:15 left in the first period to open the scoring.McCann made it 2-0 late in the period when he rifled one in with the unwitting assistance of Columbus defender David Savard, who appeared to keep Bobrovsky from seeing the puck until it was past him. Malkin extended it to 3-0 early in the second with a long, rising shot from the left point.“They’re an opportunistic team Scott Darling Jersey ,” Foligno said. “They’re quick-strike, they don’t need many chances to score goals. Disappointing that we didn’t show up in the first (period). We can’t get in a hole like that.”Bjorkstrand got Columbus on the board when he charged in and shot over Murray’s glove later in the second, and Atkinson scored his team-leading 35th goal on a power play when Artemi Panarin’s hard shot deflected right to him in the right circle.But the Blue Jackets couldn’t tie it.McCann banged a wrist shot past Bobrovsky with 6:33 left in the game, and Crosby scored an empty-net goal with five seconds remaining, giving the Penguins superstar a goal and an assist on the evening. He has 27 goals and 50 assists this season.“We came out hard, kind of let up there in the second but had to find a way to get two points,” Murray said.NOTES: Columbus forward Boone Jenner played in his 400th game with the Blue Jackets. … D Erik Gudbranson, obtained Monday from Vancouver, didn’t play for Pittsburgh because he’s going through the immigration process.UP NEXTPenguins: At the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.Blue Jackets: Host the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
