RALEIGH http://www.officialbluejackets.com/authentic-adidas-david-savard-jersey , N.C. (AP) — With first place in their sights, the Winnipeg Jets delivered their most dominant performance of the season.Andrew Copp scored twice, Nikolaj Ehlers had a goal and two assists, and the Jets rode a four-goal first period to an 8-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.Kevin Hayes, Blake Wheeler, Kyle Connor and Ben Chiarot each had a goal and an assist. Adam Lowry also scored as Winnipeg posted its largest victory of the season and moved ahead of idle Nashville atop the Central Division.“We forced them to make some plays at our line,” Wheeler said. “Fortunately for us Anthony Mantha Jersey , we got a couple sticks and got some odd-man rushes the other way and were able to convert.”The Jets scored three times in the first 10 minutes to jump ahead early and then three times in the final 10 minutes to turn it into a rout. Laurent Brossoit made 28 saves.Curtis McElhinney stopped only 21 of 29 shots for the Hurricanes. Greg McKegg scored their lone goal midway through the third period.“We have had a couple bad games, but nothing like that,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “It was shocking. I didn’t expect that at all.”Hayes, Wheeler and Chiarot all scored in the first 10 minutes to set the tone immediately. Ehlers scored at the end of the first period and Copp’s first goal came in the final minute of the second to make it 5-0.All of the Jets’ first five goals were scored from the slot as their forwards maneuvered largely uncovered through the Hurricanes zone.“We were driving well,” Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said. “We were on the puck pretty good. We knocked a bunch of things down that went our way. We were good, they had a tough night.”In all, 13 players had a point for the Jets. Each of their four lines scored at least once.“When we’re able to play four lines Darren Helm Jersey , we can play a really fast, heavy game,” Wheeler said. “That’s what we want to get to every night.”The game got loose at the end.Connor, Copp and Lowry all found the net with less than seven minutes to go, making it Carolina’s most lopsided loss of the season. That included Copp and Lowry scoring in the final minute.“What happened in the first 10 minutes of the game and what happened in the last minute of that game was totally, totally inexcusable and something that quite frankly we’re all ashamed of,” Hurricanes forward Justin Williams said. “Giving them chance after chance after chance http://www.officialredwings.com/authentic-adidas-dylan-larkin-jersey , we all owe (McElhinney) an apology after that.”NOTES: Winnipeg is 7-2 in its last nine games at Carolina.

CHICAGO (AP) — Washington Capitals coach Todd Reirden wanted to show his support for Devante Smith-Pelly.So he put him on the ice for the opening face-off.Smith-Pelly got the start Sunday in his first game in Chicago since the black winger heard chants of “basketball, basketball, basketball” while he was sitting in the penalty box during the third period of a 7-1 loss last February. The fans were promptly ejected, and then banned from Chicago’s home games.“For me it was really something that was important to do,” Reirden said. “What happened with him last year in this building and where we are today in our world. Some of the things he’s done in our community this year, just having a family out not long ago to our game Frans Nielsen Jersey Kids , that to me is fighting a bigger fight than we even know about, that Devante has to go through.”The 26-year-old Smith-Pelly and defenseman John Carlson recently hosted a Maryland youth team after one of its players heard racist taunts during a tournament.Smith-Pelly said he appreciated Reirden giving him the start in his return to the United Center.“That was cool,” Smith-Pelly said after Washington’s 8-5 loss. “I love the national anthem here.”Smith-Pelly was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second period, but he said he had no trouble with any fans.“I said it the day after and I probably repeated it. It’s just a couple of people,” Smith-Pelly said. “I don’t hold it against the city. I wasn’t excited or nervous to come back here. It’s just another game.”
