      be anything new." Pavelski scored

      SAN JOSE, Calif. Fake Red Wings Jerseys . - Even on a night when the play was hampered by choppy ice, the puck still seems to find Joe Pavelski and he keeps finding the net. Pavelski scored twice to move into a tie for the second most goals in the NHL this season and help the San Jose Sharks beat the Calgary Flames 3-2 Monday night. "It feels how you should play the game all the time, to be honest," Pavelski said. "Its the way you picture it. Ive just visualized this a few times, so it shouldnt be anything new." Pavelski scored on a deflection in the first period and on the power play in the second to give him five goals in his past two games and 18 in the past 20 to tie Anaheims Corey Perry with 27 on the season. Washingtons Alex Ovechkin leads the league with 35. "Its fun to watch," teammate Tommy Wingels said. "They go in a whole different variety of ways as you saw tonight. When youre hot, youre hot. Hell certainly take it and as a team well take it as well." Wingels also scored and Antti Niemi made 21 saves for the Sharks, who returned home from a perfect three-game road trip with a win over struggling Calgary to open a pre-Olympic stretch of eight games out of 10 at home. Jiri Hudler and Kevin Westgarth scored for the Flames, who have lost four straight games and 11 of 13. Karri Ramo made 24 saves. "Were disappointed in the loss, but you cant fault the effort," forward Matt Stajan said. "We had our chances. If we continue to work like that well give ourselves a chance no doubt about it." Pavelski followed up his first career hat trick on Saturday in Tampa Bay with his third multi-goal game in his past six as he thrives on a line with Joe Thornton and Brent Burns. Pavelski is four goals shy of matching his career high of 31 set two seasons ago. He broke a tie late in the second period after Stajan was sent off for interfering with Eriah Hayes on the only penalty of the game. After a broken play at the blue line, Jason Demers kept the puck in the offensive zone and passed to Thornton, who was all alone on the opposite side of the ice. Thornton fired a cross-ice pass to Pavelski, who was alone near the front of the net and deflected the pass past Ramo to give the Sharks a 3-2 lead. "The ice was just so bouncy tonight I just tried to get it in the general direction," Thornton said. "He just made a great play, just hand-eye co-ordination. Hes just playing great right now. The puck seems to hit him right now and go in." Both teams scored twice during the first period with help from shaky goaltending from Niemi and Ramo. The four goals came on 18 shots and included three in a span of 1:12 midway through the period. The Flames started the scoring when Hudler beat Brad Stuart in the corner and then beat Niemi with a backhand from in front of the net for his 13th goal. The Sharks responded with two goals in a 21-second span with Pavelski tipping Justin Brauns point shot for the first and Wingels beating Ramo with a bad angle shot from near the boards to snap a 15-game goalless stretch. Less than a minute later, Niemi allowed a big rebound in the slot on a shot by Brian McGrattan and Westgarth got to the rebound ahead of Matt Irwin for his first goal in 23 games this season. Westgarth was happy to contribute two days after he was part of the game-opening line brawl against Vancouver that led to coach Bob Hartley getting fined $25,000 earlier in the day. "I dont know what is being said about me and I dont care," Westgarth said. "I know the guys in this room respect me and thats all that matters. I figured something would be happening. You dont want to have a line brawl like that very often." This game had just one minor penalty compared to the 204 combined minutes of penalties between the Canucks and Flames on Saturday. NOTES: With the assist on Pavelskis second goal, Thornton moved past Bobby Hull for 48th on the career scoring list with 1,171 points. ... Flames F Paul Byron left the game in the second period with a lower-body injury. ... Calgary F David Jones (eye) returned to the lineup after missing eight games and D Kris Russell (knee) was back after missing the past 13 games. Red Wings Jerseys 2021 . The 18-year-old centre was the Senators first-round pick (17th overall) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. The six-foot 196-pound native of Salmon Arm, B. Stitched Red Wings Jerseys . -- Even as Chris Paul remained evasive about his future, he did what team leaders are expected to do.TORONTO - The last time the Boston Bruins went into Montreal, Milan Lucic came unglued. In the penalty box in the final minutes, Lucic made an obscene gesture toward Canadiens fans that earned him a fine from the NHL.On Thursday night the Bruins return to Bell Centre, the place that doesnt exactly bring out their best. Boston is 3-5 in its past eight games there, including last years playoff series loss to the Canadiens.I think you could say sometimes we get caught up in all that stuff that goes on around the game, defenceman Dennis Seidenberg said. We let them get under our skin and we dont play our game. I think if we stick to our game plan and play for 60 minutes, we should be fine. But in the past we havent really been able to do that, there have been breakdowns on the ice and mental setbacks and thats been costing us.Lucic, who apologized to his own organization, the Habs and their fans after getting fined US$5,000, said he and his teammates did a better job of controlling their emotions for much of that Oct. 16 game. He blamed a bad five-minute stretch of the second period for the 6-4 loss.It was a big reason why we didnt get that win, Lucic said. I think we have to just not worry about the things that dont matter, just focus on just playing our game and doing what it takes to win. If we do that, thatll give us the best chance to win in that building.Coach Claude Julien was reluctant Wednesday morning at Air Canada Centre to even address the potential emotion of Thursday nights game. His Bruins still had a game to play against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which they lost in a 6-1 rout. Red Wings Jerseys China. .Suddenly Julien wanted to turn the page.Right now its a matter of moving on here and start getting ready for tomorrow because theres nothing great to talk about today, he said without revealing whether Tuukka Rask or backup Niklas Svedberg would get the start. Im not even thinking about that right now.Recent history between the Habs and Bruins meant it would be human nature to think ahead. Seidenberg just doesnt want to look back at what has happened in La Belle Province of late.We all know the history, we dont need to talk about it too much, the veteran said. We try to look forward. Lets just stick to our game plan.Lucic, no stranger to the role of the villain in opposing arenas, expects some kind of reaction from the fans. Hes not trying to focus on it or take too much pressure on his shoulders.Enough of that already exists for the Bruins.Obviously its been a tough building for us to play in, Lucic said. Its not about me against Montreal or anything like that, its about playing the right way and trying to keep moving our way up the standings.Losing to the Leafs didnt help that effort. The only silver lining for Boston was a chance to play again quickly.Thats what you want when you play a bad hockey game, centre Chris Kelly said. You want to get right back at it, so its good that we play tomorrow night. We get an opportunity to go out and redeem ourselves.___Follow @SWhyno on Twitter ' ' '
