Henrik Lundqvist bounced back after getting roughed up the previous night and helped the New York Rangers get their first win of the season.

The veteran goalie stopped 34 shots for his 62nd career shutout to lead the Rangers to a 2-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night.

Lundqvist was stellar in getting his 406th career win one night after getting pulled after giving up five goals in the first period of an 8-5 loss at Toronto. He is now one away from tying Glenn Hall for ninth place on the NHL’s career wins list.

After Josh Ho-Sang was denied on a right pad save by Allen, Blues defenseman Carl Gunnarsson was assessed a slashing penalty, giving the Islanders a two-man advantage. But they failed to capitalize and were 0 for 6 overall on the power play.

“The power play is a bit overwhelmed,” Weight added. “It’s a big point, good fight back we had.”

Greiss was victimized for five goals in the Islanders’ season-opening 5-0 loss at Columbus before he was replaced midway through by Jaroslav Halak, who earned the victory Cheap Custom Jerseys in the team’s 6-3 home-opening win over the Buffalo Sabres.

The Islanders visit the Blues on Nov. 11 to complete the season series . The Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Blues continued to be without injured forward Alex Steen and defenseman Jay Bouwmeester. … Islanders forward Cal Clutterbuck missed his second straight game with a hip injury. … Defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Ryan Pulock were scratched by the Islanders.

A familiar feeling is beginning to sink in at the midway point of the 2017 season. Alabama and Clemson have looked like the two best teams in the country by far and the biggest debate might be whether the Tigers or the Tide will be No. 1 when the first College Football Playoff rankings are released on Oct. 31.

There will be time to settle that debate. For now, let’s decide which players, coaches and teams have been most impressive — and most disappointing — in the first half of the season.

“Hell no,” Leach said. “As soon as I saw [then-Mississippi State head coach] Jackie Sherrill I shook his hand and told him I was damn impressed.”

But the hand that Sherrill shook was all but guaranteed to be dirty, no matter whose hand he was shaking. This is because there were only a few old working sinks in the visiting locker room. These were used (or not) after utilizing one of two toilets — located in the center of the room for all to view — that had no seats, which were assumed to have been broken off by enraged previous visitors.

“The most impressive part, though: It was almost artistic,” Leach said, a little too excitedly. “Sitting on the floor right between the toilets with exactly one roll of toilet paper — it was exquisite.”

The Coyotes finished with 70 points last season and Cheap Bruins Jerseys missed the playoffs for Cheap Atlanta Braves Jerseys the fifth consecutive year, so Chayka made aggressive — and startling — moves during the summer. First, he informed longtime captain Shane Doan, over breakfast at a local restaurant, that the team would not be offering the pending free agent a new contract. Then Chayka traded veteran goaltender Mike Smith to the Calgary Flames. Former coach Dave Tippett and the Coyotes also agreed to part ways, and Chayka replaced Tippett with Pittsburgh Penguins assistant coach Rick Tocchet, who played for and had a previous stint as an assistant with the Coyotes.

Tee Mitchell scored two touchdowns and rushed for 88 yards and Mercer controlled all the way in a 24-14 win over The Citadel on Saturday.

CJ Leggett scored on a 1-yard run to end a five-play, 48-yard drive in the first quarter, Mitchell added rushing scores of 16 yards and 2 yards in the second and third quarters respectively and Mercer (3-3, 2-2 Southern Conference) built a 21-0 lead.

Dominique Allen’s 1-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter put The Citadel (3-3, 1-2) on the board. The Bears added a field goal before Brandon Berry’s 2-yard score ended the scoring.

Allen threw for 180 yards and Berry had 15 carries for 65 yards. The Citadel outgained Mercer 380 to 311, however, the Bulldogs lost three fumbles and Allen threw an interception late in the game. Mercer coughed the ball away twice on fumbles as well.

“I remember exactly how many there were, because I counted them. There were 38,” Leach recalled. With 70 players, it meant half the team’s pads were hung while the other half sat on the floor.

After the team dressed, the players started down the Buy Cheap Jerseys famous spiral ramps that lead to Scott Field. Leach has no idea what the home side’s spiral was like, but the Basketball Jerseys Custom visiting side was poured with concrete that had been polished to the point that it was like gray ice.

“[Then-Kentucky head coach] Hal (Mumme) gave the team their speech, and they were all fired up and blew out the door,” Leach said, “… and they had to tip toe down to the field while hanging onto the railing.”

Spencer Brown had 25 carries for a career-high 165 yards and a touchdown and UAB’s late block of a field goal preserved a 23-22 win against Louisiana Tech Saturday night.

With three seconds to play, the Blazers blocked Jonathan Barnes’ 30-yard attempt. The ball ricocheted back to Barnes who was tackled to end the game.

On the next possession, Temple’s Delvon Randall intercepted a Thomas Sirk pass and returned to the ECU 34. Five plays later, David Hood (106 yards on 20 carries) carried it in from the 2. Following a three-and-out, ECU punted and a personal foul set up a short field. Another five-play drive culminated with Rob Ritrovato’s 2-yard TD run and Temple led 23-3 at intermission.

East Carolina (1-5, 1-2) was led by Sirk, who finished 20 of 38 for 253 yards and an 11-yard touchdown pass to Quay Johnson in the third. Jimmy Williams Jerseys Supply had five catches for 110 yards.

An investigation by the National Basketball Players Association earlier this year discovered that Dawkins used Payton’s credit card to charge more $42,000 in Uber rides between 2015 and 2016 and that Payton authorized only a few trips. ASM fired Dawkins in May, according to published reports.

Elfrid Payton Sr., the player’s father, told ESPN that IMA reimbursed his son for the credit card charges and that Dawkins didn’t have permission to use the card. He said he was introduced to Dawkins by a third party and advised his son to use him as a financial planner.

“Kurt had this business, but he didn’t know anything about the NBA,” Payton Sr. said. “Christian was on the financial side when we met him. Kurt is a reputable guy. He Cheap NFL Jerseys Nike didn’t know Christian was doing this.”

Kyle Busch felt sick for the final 200 laps Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Not only did he blame himself for wrecking a potentially race-winning car, but he also felt much hotter than normal and inhaled carbon monoxide fumes because the crush panels had been damaged in the lap-137 crash.

Busch, who was given ice bags during pit stops, laid on the ground for a couple of minutes after the race and exited the infield care center about 40 minutes after receiving oxygen and fluids.

“I’m all right,” Busch said. “I’m better now. … It just got so hot, that literally, you felt like you were going to puke and just trying to make it to the end of the race and luckily we did.

“And from there, [they were] just trying to get cooled back down and get my body temperature back to normal.” Busch said his carbon monoxide level was “in the double digits.”

Andersen signed a contract extension in December and had more than $12.4 million remaining on the deal. Oregon State owed him $883,332 for the rest of this season, $2.75 million for 2018, $2.85 million for 2019, $2.95 million for 2020 and $3.05 million for 2021.

The Caps’ captain, who made his NHL debut in 2005-06, now has 114 career multigoal games, tying him with the retired Teemu Selanne for the most since the 1993-94 season.

This is the first time Ovechkin has ever tallied back-to-back hat tricks. The last Capitals player to do so was Peter Bondra on Feb. 3 and 5 in 1999.

Washington’s next game is on the road Monday night vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning, against whom Ovechkin has 41 career goals.

According to Ovechkin, his chances of putting together another hat trick Wholesale Jerseys Paypal for that game are slim, since he’ll be without his good-luck charm: his sister-in-law.

“Every time she’s in town, like I score a hat trick,” Ovechkin Baseball Jerseys said. “Back-to-back and she’s leaving Monday. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to talk to someone to keep her here.”

In Week 7 we explain what’s really wrong with LSU, examine the tale of the tape in one of the decade’s most lopsided series, look for clues in Mark Dantonio’s past, spotlight the top-40 caliber team that’s already lost four games and expose the team whose defensive numbers don’t add up.

Oregon’s Autzen Stadium is known as one of the crown jewels of college football. Now. Before Belotti and his old boss, Rich Brooks, started UO’s Nike-fueled revolution, the worst locker room on campus wasn’t the one used by rivals.

“Our home locker room was in the bowels of the stadium,” Belotti said, recalling a coaches’ “cubicle” that was so small that the staff had NFL Jerseys Authentic to take turns changing clothes and then take turns holding their position meetings in the concrete hallway. “I want Baseball Jerseys Custom to make sure I’m being clear with you here. When I say the bowels of the stadium, I mean that literally.”

The veteran edge rusher has been a menace for opposing offenses. Just ask Ohio State, which he tormented to the tune of 2.5 tackles for loss, including 1.5 sacks. Okoronkwo finished the first half leading Oklahoma in tackles for loss (9), sacks (5) and forced fumbles (2), while ranking second in total tackles (31). Opposing coaches are very much aware of No. 31, who should be in the mix for national honors.

Gage Gubrud threw for 452 yards and six touchdowns to lift Eastern Washington to a 41-38 win over UC Davis on Saturday night.

Trailing 38-34 late in the fourth quarter, Eastern Washington (4-2, 3-0 Big Sky Conference) drove 75 yards in 12 plays and Gubrud connected with Nic Sblendorio on a 6-yard touchdown pass to retake the advantage with 1:37 left.

Tyler Pullum completed 15 of 28 passes for 194 yards and a 20-yard score to Lewis Hayes for the Hawks (0-6).

Fellow Russian Evgeny Kuznetsov assisted on each of Ovechkin’s first three goals Saturday night, as Washington took a 4-0 lead into the first intermission. Ovechkin added a fourth goal, also assisted by Kuznetsov, in the second period.

“It’s a fun time when you play like that and your line’s feeling it,” Ovechkin said. “When your line’s feeling it, you just want to be out there more and more. Sometimes you play well but you don’t score. Right now, it’s we play well, we score goals, we’re dangerous. All three forwards are dangerous, and we just have to continue to play like that.”

Seahawks starting running back Chris Carson suffered a broken leg as well as high ankle sprain Sunday night against the Colts, coach Pete Carroll said Monday.

“Last night when they did the initial X-rays his ankle was fine,” Carroll said on ESPN 710 Seattle, via the Seattle Times. “He’s got a fracture that’s way up just below his knee. It’s not a displaced one and all that, but because of the torque of the way it happened it was not in the area they were focused on, so I told the team he didn’t have a broken leg and everybody was excited about that for him. But he does. … It was not in his ankle, it was in his upper leg. We don’t know that means yet.”

When police discovered the vehicle, it had been abandoned. Boyd, a second-round pick from Pitt in the 2016 NFL Draft, tweeted Thursday that he did not have anything to do with the accident; it was just his car. Boyd reportedly told police two days after the wreck someone else was driving his car and he was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Pittsburgh television station WTAE reported Boyd, who faced DUI charges in 2015 while at Pitt, admitted one vape pen and the unopened vape cartridges were his, but said “they don’t get you high or anything.”

The Bengals said in a statement they are “aware of the media report Cheap Jerseys Sunglasses and working to gather more information.” After catching 54 passes for 603 yards and a touchdown as a Cheap Jerseys Sale rookie last season, Boyd has four catches for 37 yards in three games this season.

Following Sunday night’s mass shooting in Las Vegas, ESPN has reversed its initial plan and will televise the national anthem before Monday night’s Chiefs vs. Redskins game, Sporting News has learned. The network also will air a moment of silence for the victims.

ESPN will pass on showing live player protests during Week 4 of the NFL season. The Disney-owned network told Sporting News it won’t air the playing of the national anthem before Redskins vs. Chiefs on “Monday Night Football.”

The NFL’s TV partners normally do not show players before the unfurling of the American flag and singing/playing of the national anthem, except before the Super Bowl and other select games. But given viewer interest around players staging demonstrations last week, ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, NFL Network and DirecTV all provided live anthem coverage during Week 3.

President Trump created quite a stir in the NFL by calling any player who kneels during the national anthem a “son of a bitch” and calling for owners to “fire” those Cheap Jerseys Made In USA players.

NFL teams responded with a massive display of solidarity Sunday and Monday as players, coaches and owners all locked arms during the anthem to relay a message to Trump that they will not be divided.

“I’m not in the league anymore, so the Trump comments don’t bother me, but they’re so out of order,” said Lewis, a 13-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl MVP who Cheap Jerseys Pay With Paypal played his entire career with the Ravens.
