What are you initial thoughts?Coaching Snapshot: Wide Receivers Coach Rob Moore A look into OC Matt LaFleur’s offensive staffName: Rob MooreRole: Wide Receiver CoachNFL Coaching Experience: 4 seasonsPositions Coached: Wide Receivers Coach (Buffalo, 2014), Wide Receivers Coach (Oakland, 2015-2017).Collegiate Coaching Experience:Wide Receivers Coach (Phoenix Junior College, 2009), Wide Receivers Coach (Syracuse, 2010-2013).Coaching Track RecordBuffalo BillsAfter enjoying a 12 year playing career and spending six seasons coaching high school and college receivers, Rob Moore was given the opportunity to coach in the NFL.He was brought in to join Doug Marrone’s coaching staff in Buffalo. Moore had worked with Marrone during his time coaching in Syracuse. In Buffalo, Moore was tasked with coaching first-round pick - fourth overall - WR Sammy Watkins. Other receivers on the 2014 roster included Marquise Goodwin Womens Eddie George Jersey , Chris Hogan and Robert Woods to name a few.Moore helped Watkins to a solid rookie season. Watkins posted the second highest total receiving yards and average yards per game, and set the Bills franchise records for a rookie, with 982 receiving yards on 65 receptions. The numbers could have been higher had he not spent his rookie season catches passes from both QB EJ Manuel and QB Kyle Orton.Woods had a solid season in 2014 as well. He posted the second highest receiving yards and at the time set his highest total of receiving touchdowns. Woods tied his touchdown total last season in LA in the Rams offensive scheme. Hogan, who had a resurgence when leaving Buffalo for New England, had a good season under Moore. He posted four touchdowns - a number he just recently passed last season.Moore was dismissed - as was the rest of Marrone’s staff - after just a 9-7 season. Had he stuck around, he could have continued to develop Watkins into the player the Bills drafted him to be.Oakland RaidersMoore wasn’t unemployed for long. In fact, he would an opportunity to work with another receiver picked fourth overall - WR Amari Cooper. Oakland also spent in free agency on veteran WR Michael Crabtree in 2015.HC Jack Del Rio offensive unit was led by OC Bill Musgrave. Musgrave helped transform one of the league’s worst offensive units into a top 10 squad. Moore helped during the Raiders transformation. The Raiders finished the 2015 season in third place of the AFC West with a final record of 7-9. However, Moore’s work with Cooper and Crabtree cannot be ignored.Cooper busted onto the scene his rookie campaign, posting 1,070 receiving yards on 72 receptions. He averaged roughly 15 yards per catch. He also had six catches over 40 yards that season. Crabtree nearly recorded a 1 Womens Jayon Brown Jersey ,000 season in his first year with the Raiders. He finished the season with 922 yards and tied his career high of receiving touchdowns at nine.In 2016, the Raiders were one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Del Rio’s squad posted a 12-4 record, and the contribution of Cooper and Crabtree was a big part of the team’s success.Carr had two of his best seasons under Musgrave. Moore’s work with the receiver group made Carr’s job much easier. Had it not been for the Christmas Eve injury, the Raiders had a shot at making a deep postseason run.Both Cooper and Carr finished 2016 totaling over 1,000 each. The duo combined for 13 receiving touchdowns. Last season, the Raiders were unable to replicate the success of the previous year, but Moore’s group still performed well. Neither Cooper nor Crabtree had over 1,000 yards receiving, but the duo combined for 15 receiving touchdowns. With Carr struggling to return to his 2016 form, the “Beastmode” experiment not being as effective as it was predicted to be and the new offensive system of Todd Downing taking place of Musgraves Womens Dion Lewis Jersey , the Raiders were a shell of themselves.Tennessee TitansMoore will be on the sidelines of Nissan Stadium this season, hoping to help the young Titans receivers burst onto the scene in a new, fresh offensive scheme. Having been successful in his previous stints as a receivers coach, Moore once again will work in developing a receiver selected in the top five. He had success with Watkins, did well with Cooper and now will work with second-year receiver Corey Davis.Moore’s experience - both as a coach and as a player - should help him build a solid foundation with the receiving group. Moore needs to mold Davis into a number one receiver - while also enhancing Taywan Taylor skills, helping Tajae Sharpe bounce back and getting the best out of veteran receiver Rishard Matthews.OC Matt LaFleur’s offense will lean on the receivers to be both reliable and productive. Moore - who is a two-time Pro Bowler and received an All Pro honors in 1997 - is fully capable of developing the receiver talent on the roster. His track record proves it.

Hue Jackson didn’t rule out taking back the play-calling duties after the Browns gained 305 yards in 68 minutes Lee Roy Selmon Jersey , 10 seconds Sunday. That likely won’t sit well with first-year offensive coordinator Todd Haley.“It’s not going to be about butting heads,” Jackson said when asked about the possibility, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I’m the head coach of the football team. I will do what I feel I need to do to get this team where it needs to be.”Jackson became testy when pressed further on the issue.“I’m the head coach of the football team, period. Period,” Jackson said. “There’s nothing else that needs to be said. Nothing. I’m the head coach of the football team.”Haley has called all the plays this season, Jackson confirmed. Jackson, though, made no promises about next week when the Browns play at Pittsburgh, where Haley spent the previous six seasons as the Steelers’ offensive coordinator, or beyond.Cleveland went without an official offensive coordinator in the first two seasons after Jackson took over as head coach, with Jackson serving in both roles. Jackson promised Haley “total autonomy” when the Browns hired Haley in the spring.“Yeah, I mean, I’ve been respectful,” Jackson said. “That’s why you bring guys in and you make them the coordinator. Again, there are some things we’ve got to fix fast to get this thing back to where it needs to be.”The Browns entered the game ranked 20th in total offense Ronald Jones Jersey , including 23rd in passing.

Adding a Top-5 talent to any NFL roster has the potential to drastically change the trajectory of any franchise. Get it right, and your team could be competing for a title one or two years later.Get it wrong, and a general manager could be looking for a new job. So. No pressure.Here, we’re going to bring you both sides of the coin and leave the final decision to you, Bucs Nation.DAVID HARRISON - DEFENSEChuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsIt’s #FollowTheLicht season, and Jason needs to point his beam squarely onto the defensive side of the ball.Quinnen Williams, Ed Oliver, competitive, even without a Top-5 draft addition.But, unless the defense gets one touchdown per game better in the upcoming season it'll all be for nothing when January 2020 rolls around.James Yarcho - OffenseMatthew Emmons-USA TODAY SportsI have no issues with the arguments David made above. That said, the Bucs will need to secure the best offensive lineman in the draft if at all possible. Bruce Arians’ offense is predicated on the deep ball, the run game, and maximizing the ability to score from anywhere on the field. In order to do so, the Bucs have to keep Jameis Winston upright. That won’t happen with the state of the current offensive line.Now Mike Edwards Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jersey , if Williams is gone - which he may be - then the Bucs will be in prime positionto trade back with a quarterback needy team that will have to pay that franchise quarterback premium to move up. Given that the Bucs only have six picks, this would be the ideal situation.I’m not going to advocate that the Buccaneers take a receiver or a running back at number five. IF they go offense, it has to be in the trenches. And if Williams is gone, they will need to go to the defensive side if they can’t move down.Something has to be done about this line. There’s a solid chance Donovan Smith returns, so he’s likely going to keep the left tackle spot regardless of the draft. That doesn’t make him any less of a question mark, though. Then you have the entire right side with Caleb Benenoch, Alex Cappa, and Demar Dotson. Dotson has been a solid starter for years, but the knee injuries and age seem to have caught up with him in 2018.You can’t win in the NFL if you don’t win the battle up front. That should be the number one focus this off-season for the Bucs before they address the needs at cornerback, linebacker, and defensive line. You can’t fix it all in one year, but the Bucs will do their best to do just that - and it starts by protecting the franchise quarterback.

Unofficially, well, did anyone really believe that the Packers would hire a coach without getting the approval of their $33. RENTON Steve Largent Jersey Green , Wash. (AP) — For most of the season, the Seattle Seahawks have had the best running offense in the NFL, trying to win without throwing the ball all over the field.What the Seahawks showed in Sunday’s win over Carolina is that when necessary, they can still rely on the right arm of Russell Wilson.“There’s been so much talk about the run game and we need to get that going and such, but we always designed our approach to be balanced. That means when you have the opportunity to run it, you run it. When you have the opportunity to throw it, you throw it,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “But you have to really commit to the running game to make that happen in the way we’re doing it. So the fact it went this week and Russell threw for 330-something and had a really efficient day, that’s going to happen sometimes.”Wilson’s passing was the difference in Seattle’s 30-27 victory over the Panthers, which may end up being the reason why the Seahawks make the postseason. Seattle (6-5) now plays four of its final five games at home, with its lone road trip down the coast to San Francisco, and essentially controls its own path to a wild-card spot in the NFC.Wilson threw for two touchdowns, including a 35-yard strike to David Moore on fourth-and-3 late in the fourth quarter that pulled Seattle even at 27-all, and set the stage for Seattle to complete its rally with Sebastian Janikowski’s 31-yard field goal on the final play.This was a far different passing game than what Seattle showed in the first two weeks of the season when the run game was mostly ignored. At this point, Seattle’s run game is so respected that there are opportunities for Wilson that simply weren’t there earlier in the season. Couple that with better protection, and Seattle was primed for a game where its quarterback carried the load.“We have star receivers out there on the flank, we have tight ends that can catch, we’ve got running backs that can catch. We have guys that can protect really well. So there is nothing we really can’t do,” Wilson said. “We want to play tough, physical football. We also want to be explosive in the passing game, spread the ball around.”Wilson’s 339-yard passing day was his best game of the season and the only time since Week 1 against Denver he’s thrown for more than 250 yards. He has just three 300-yard passing games since the beginning of the 2017 season. Wilson was 15 of 19 for 218 yards in the second half alone.The focus on running the ball beginning in Week 3 is a big reason why Seattle finds itself in the playoff conversation. But Carolina was determined not to let Seattle control the game on the ground. Seattle’s streak of rushing for at least 150 yards in seven straight games came to an end, and its 2.7 yards per carry was a season low.That may sound like a blueprint has been created for how to stop Seattle’s run game. But not every team has a front seven like Carolina.“They really went after it. They studied well, they did a couple of new things we had to adjust to and they’re just really good. All their players are strong and physical and they did a nice job of committing to it,” Carroll said. “That allowed us to throw the football like we did.”NOTES: Carroll said it was surprising WR Doug Baldwin was able to play despite a pulled groin muscle. Baldwin had five catches and played 90 percent of the offensive snaps. “I can’t imagine he’s not sore. It was extraordinary that he played. He had a groin pull that was legit and he just managed it, made it through the week. I don’t know anybody that’s played with a pull like that,” Carroll said. … Carroll had no update on the timeline of LB K.J. Wright, who missed his second straight game with a knee injury. … The one injury of significance to come out of Sunday’s game was a sternum injury to fullback Tre Madden.

Hopefully this works as planned."Well Donovan Smith Jersey , there ya have it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hired Bruce Arians, the former Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals head coach. It’s very rare when the overall majority of a fanbase and the front office/ownership of a franchise all agree on a candidate. As we all know, NFL coaching searches can be fickle, misleading, and downright tiresome. With all of the wants, needs, opinions, numbers, etc. - it’s easy to see why so many franchises miss when they go to look for a new leader. But the stars have aligned in the early stages of 2019, and the result is the biggest head coaching hire in nearly 20 years. That’s right. The magnitude of this hire rivals the trade for Jon Gruden before the 2002 season. Just like Gruden, Arians is expected to be the spark the franchise needs to take them to the next level. Granted, Tampa Bay was a perennial playoff contender compared to today’s perennial loser when Gruden was brought in, but that’s why Arians was the popular choice - he is believed to be the one who can right the ship. How good of a head coach is this man? How about two Coach of the Year trophies? How ‘bout a 61% winning record for his career?It seems to safe to say that the Bucs got themselves a good one. First and foremost, he is considered to be the savior for Jameis Winston. Arians and Winston have a long history and the new Bucs’ head coach has been on record saying that he would love to work with the young quarterback. The two seem like a perfect fit and based off Arians’ track record, you can’t help but be excited when you see who he’s worked with over the yearsArians was the reason for Ben Roethlisberger’s development, Andrew Luck’s seamless transition to the NFL, and the reason Carson Palmer lasted five more years in the league. His reputation developing quarterbacks speaks for itself. If he can fix Winston, then he can fix the Bucs. There’s no reason to think otherwise. Tampa Bay has had one of the premier offenses in the league over the past two seasons. Outside of the need to upgrade the offensive line, they are average to great at every position on that side of the ball. All the unit needs is consistency and better decision-making from Winston and they’re In Like Flint. Outside of his experience with quarterbacks, Arians’ offenses have had major success as well. His offenses in Pittsburgh ranked outside of the top-10 in DVOA just once in five seasons, per Football Outsiders. One could argue that he’s never had this much talent on offense. Antonio Brown was just drafted when Arians left Pittsburgh. The Colts had Luck, but that was about it. The Cardinals had Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald, and David Johnson. That trio led the Cardinals to a 13-3 record and a NFC Championship appearance in 2015. They were second in the NFL in points and were fourth in the league in DVOA. Point is Jameis Winston Jersey , there’s a possibility that this could be the most talented offense that Arians has ever coached.While the Bucs may not have a running back like Johnson, they certainly have a receiver with Fitzgerald’s talent in Mike Evans and a quarterback in Winston that is now a veteran, a la Palmer. What Arians didn’t have that year was a Chris Godwin, O.J. Howard, or even an Ali Marpet. If you expect this offense to take a step back in 2019, think again. But all of his accolades and accomplishments aside, Arians will bring immediate respect and a true sense of leadership to the locker room. There will be a sense of camaraderie, a sense of accountability, and a sense of what it means to lead a team of men instilled at One Buc Place. Sure, Arians comes with some concerns - his health being the top one. That is a big concern, as we’ve seen with him, Gary Kubiak, and even Urban Meyer - it doesn’t take much for a coach to step down due to health concerns. But at the same time, Tampa Bay is a franchise that is desperate need of change and those concerns fall to the wayside in the grand scheme of things. Especially if Arians wants to coach. He also never established a running game in Arizona outside of the 2015 season. Even when Johnson went nuts in 2016, the Cardinals were still just 18th overall running the ball. That could be an issue considering the fact Winston needs a running game to rely on if he wants to reach his true potential. Combine that fact with Tampa Bay’s putrid offensive line and there is a recipe for trouble there. Only time will tell the true magnitude of this hiring. If everything goes as planned then Tampa Bay could be in the playoffs as early as 2020. If nothing goes as planned, then the team will be stuck in the same cycle it has been in for the past decade. What do they have to lose? Only their jobs. But if general manager Jason Licht and the Glazers can’t turn this franchise around with his hire, the odds are that nothing can. While that is a stark message, there is truth lurking just beneath the surface. Hopefully Arians and his future staff can keep that truth buried. Eight NFL teams will carry on their practice squads a player who came from an expanded program for overseas players.The International Player Pathway was instituted last year. It aims to provide international athletes the opportunity to compete at the NFL level.Alex Gray (Atlanta Falcons), Alex Jenkins (New Orleans Saints), Eric Nzeocha (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Efe Obada (Carolina Pathners) participated in 2017 and will return to those NFC South teams.The NFL announced Tuesday that the AFC North was added this year. The Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers also will get an exemption for an 11th practice squad member who's ineligible to be activated during the season. Two come from the United Kingdom and two from Germany.Those players are Moritz Bohringer (Bengals), originally drafted in the 2016 sixth round by Minnesota; German Football League player Christopher Ezeala (Ravens); former British American Football League player Tigie Sankoh (Browns); and former English professional rugby player Christian Scotland-Williamson (Steelers).

story outlining free agent wide receiver options for the Seattle Seahawks Michael Dickson Jersey , there’s a specific type of wide receiver they should be expected to target. A contested..."In case you missed last week’s story outlining free agent wide receiver options for the Seattle Seahawks, there’s a specific type of wide receiver they should be expected to target. A contested catch, big-bodied outside receiver who can round out the starting trio should David Moore fail to make the leap, but not a player who will completely stunt his development. There are few wide receivers likely to join the current crop of free agents, and even fewer who fit Seattle’s need. Players like DeSean Jackson and Travis Benjamin don’t fit the bill, as the Seahawks are good on vertical threats. Cameron Meredith, Seth Roberts and Nelson Agholor would be unlikely targets, as well, with both Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett capable of dominating out of the slot. However, there are a couple of names that could draw Seattle’s interest once/if they hit the open market.Pierre GarconOne of Kyle Shanahan’s favorite wide receivers didn’t have his option picked up by the 49ers, and will become a free agent. In two seasons with San Francisco, Garcon battled injuries, playing in 16 games between 2017 and ‘18. Making the 49ers’ decision even easier is the fact Garcon will be 33 by the time the 2019 season begins, and wasn’t very productive when he was healthy in San Francisco. However, Garcon has been a supremely reliable wide receiver over the course of his career, is just two seasons removed from a 1000-yard season, and had the fourth highest yards per game of his career in 2017. Whichever team signs Garcon will be making a gamble that there is something left in the tank, and they’ll be getting the physical, difficult-day-at-the-office wide receiver he’s been previously.Perhaps it would be too big of a gamble for the Seahawks to make, risking that they end up with a washed up Garcon and a plateaued Moore as their third and fourth wide receivers. But, they could also be getting a solid outside option at a low cost, and someone whose younger self resembled the receiver Moore has appeared to be at times. If the price is right, this is a gamble worth making for Seattle. DeVante ParkerParker’s situation is similar to Vic Beasley’s Womens Justin Britt Jersey , who was written about here on Tuesday: Mostly disappointing through four seasons, with a brief high (56 catches, 744 yards and four touchdowns in 2016), but likely to be cut before he can play 2019 under the fifth year option. However, like Beasley, Parker’s upside remains attractive. The 26-year-old possesses great size at 6-foot-3 and 209 pounds, and has the kind of length and fluidity in his game that made Paul Richardson so enjoyable to watch during his time with the Seahawks.Seattle could get priced out of their interest in Parker quite quickly, should a team to elect to offer him a big money one year, prove-it type of contract. Another dissuading factor for the Seahawks could be that his signing would inevitably stunt Moore’s growth; Parker’s arrival in Seattle would be an indictment of their long-term hopes for Moore. If the Seahawks have soured on Moore—and there’s no reason to believe they have—then signing Parker would be a proactive move on their part. He can provide a similar element to their wide receiver corps, and has the age and ceiling to become a long-term part of the team. Another wide receiver was added to the group on Monday, when the Cowboys declined Terrance Williams’ option. Williams will now become a free agent as well, but shouldn’t be thought of as a target for Seattle. Despite coming from Baylor, where receivers are expected to run just a handful of routes (slant, hitch, and go) but be exceptionally athletic, Williams is an average athlete who doesn’t particularly do anything well.Unless something changes or there is a surprise cut, the wide receiver market isn’t overly impressive. The onus is on Moore to continue to grow and get back on the trajectory he appeared to be on in October of 2018, and it’s on the Seahawks to bring in much needed competition at the position.Hunt For Ram October: A countdown to the Week 5 showdown Today is Friday, September 28. Counting today, there are ten days until the Los Angeles Rams visit the Seattle Seahawks, in what could be the game of the year for both teams. Could be. A lot of promise left in the year, for both teams.Between now and then, there’s a lot of time to kill. Every day http://www.seahawkslockerroom.com/authentic-david-moore-jersey , this space will feature an important or memorable moment from the rivalry. Some plays will be warm and fuzzy. Karate chops, plural. (Plural!) Others will be visits down a darker memory lane. Even when the Rams were bad, which was almost all the time, they still gave the Seahawks fits, more fits than appropriate.You’re still on Field Gulls, though, so you’re gonna get treated to mainly the best moments of the series. Ground rules: We’re not going back as far as the unfortunate incompletion to Bobby Engram in the end zone, with no time left on the clock in the 2004 wild-card game. Keeping it to this decade — WHICH GIVES US MORE THAN ENOUGH MATERIAL TO WORK WITH, SUCKERS.Number 10: Home teams don’t fumble, sillyWhen: October 19, 2014. Week 7.Game state: Rams 28. Seahawks 26. 3rd and 1, 1:14 remaining. Ball on STL 37.What happens: Tre Mason carries the ball for a first down that would ice the game, but he fumbles, helped by Malcolm Smith and Earl Thomas. Chaos ensues.The film:From the second angle, it’s abundantly clear that no Rams player recovers the ball fully after Mason’s fumble, especially number 46, who was ruled down by contact with possession; victory formation; game over. Even though Richard Sherman comes out of the scrum with the football, the play stands as called, the Rams keep possession, kneel it out, and the Seahawks fall to 3-3.Spoiler! Didn’t stop Seattle from finishing the season with home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Didn’t stop St. Louis’s 10-year streak of missing the playoffs.More tomorrow. Something good. I promise.

Matt Murray with 3 seconds remaining in overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers put together an improbable rally to edge the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 on Sunday night.James van Riemsdyk tied the score with 18 seconds left in regulation when Murray’s glove couldn’t quite reach van Riemsdyk’s wrist shot from the slot.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Shane Doan holds numerous franchise records, was the epitome of what a captain should be and led the Arizona Coyotes on their deepest playoff run.Those accomplishments only tell part of the story of how he became one of the most revered athletes in Arizona history.Humble to a fault. Deeply connected to the community. Loyal. Generous with his time, whether it was for a cause, casually chatting with a fan or media inquiries following a difficult loss. Always the hardest-working player on the team.Perhaps more than any of it, a good person.“I don’t know a better human being on this planet. I really don’t,” said Tyson Nash Brendan Leipsic Jersey Kids , Doan’s former teammate and current Coyotes TV analyst. “He is everything that you want to be and more. I want my kid to be like him. I want to be like him.”The Coyotes will celebrate Doan’s career by retiring his No. 19 jersey during a pregame ceremony before Sunday’s game against Winnipeg.The guest list will include NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, multiple former Coyotes teammates, friends and family. The Coyotes and the Jets will wear “Doan No. 19” on the warmup jerseys prior to the game and fans will receive a Doan bobblehead.“That’s the part that I’m really excited about: to get to share it with the fans here in Arizona and to have friends and family around for it,” Doan said. “It’s something that you never, ever dream of and to get to experience it is pretty amazing.”From Halkirk, Alberta, Doan was the seventh overall pick of the 1995 NHL draft by the Winnipeg Jets and came with the franchise when moved to the desert to become the Phoenix Coyotes.Doan guided the Coyotes through four years of uncertainty while the franchise was operated by the NHL and led them to the 2012 Western Conference Finals. He earned the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership on and off the ice in 2010, and took home the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2012.Doan retired in 2017 as Arizona’s career leader in games (1,540), goals (402), assists (570), points (972), game-winning goals (69) and power-play goals (128).He spent his entire 21-year career with the organization, spurning chances for a better chances to win the Stanley Cup out of loyalty for the NHL team that drafted him.“There’s no player in our team history that meant more to this franchise than Shane http://www.officialcanucks.com/authentic-adidas-brock-boeser-jersey , and no player our franchise history that has meant more to this community than Shane,” Coyotes president and CEO Ahron Cohen said. “So it was a pretty easy decision.”At 6-foot-1, 223 pounds, Doan played with a combination of power and finesse. He also was driven to wring the most from his talent, always the last person off the ice after practice, huffing and puffing while dripping sweat after getting in a few extra laps or tipped shots.“This is a guy who spent 21 years in the NHL and his last year he was still out there,” Nash said. “He was always working on the nuances of his game to get better. It was remarkable, but that’s what good pros do, they try to get better every day.”Nash has known Doan since he was nine when he visited the Doan family’s Christian summer camp for kids at their ranch. The pair met up again eight years later as teammates in the Western Hockey League and were Coyotes together from 2003-06.Through the years of their friendship, Nash has seen first-hand Doan’s generosity, from taking the extra time to talk with fans after a game or give back to the community.He’s also seen the competitive side of Doan that raged anytime anything was on the line.Playing hockey, cards on the team plane, golf, wrestling in the basement Christopher Tanev Jersey , Doan wanted to win no matter what, his eyes widening into a maniacal look that belied his easygoing nature away from competition.“He’d take out his grandma to win at something,” Nash said. “The guy just never wanted to lose and if you beat him at something, you better be ready to go 10 rounds or whatever because he was going to get redemption.The Coyotes have a ring of honor that includes Keith Tkachuk, Jeremy Roenick and Teppo Numminen of the Coyotes, and Bobby Hull, Thomas Steen and Dale Hawerchuk of the original Jets.Doan, fittingly, will be the first player to have his number retired by the franchise.“Unexpected, maybe a little uncomfortable,” Doan said. “At the same time, so excited to have so many people coming, people that are close to me. It’s going to be so much fun.”

SUNRISE Mikkel Boedker Jersey Womens , Fla. (AP) — since returning from a broken thumb.Arvidsson scored twice, and the Nashville Predators scored all their goals in the third period of a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Friday night.Arvidsson has 13 points in 13 games.“I just try to play the same thing every night,” Arvidsson said. “Lucky bounce there on the last one, otherwise I think our line created a lot of chances.”Kevin Fiala and Roman Josi also found the net for the Predators, and Filip Forsberg had three assists. Juuse Saros made 27 saves as the Predators won their third straight game.“Felt good, saw pretty much all the pucks,” said Saros, who stopped a career-high 47 shots in a 2-1 win over Vegas before the break. “The team played good in front of me. We just stuck with it even though they got the lead. It’s a good win.”Jonathan Huberdeau scored for the Panthers, who had a three-game win streak snapped. Roberto Luongo stopped 22 shots.“We didn’t play the way we wanted in the third http://www.officialavalanche.com/authentic-adidas-patrick-roy-jersey ,” Huberdeau said. “We were up one goal and we let up.”Behind 1-0, the Predators scored two goals in a span of 2:15 in the third.Josi tied the score when his shot from the left circle found the high corner of the net at 5:29.Arvidsson put the Predators ahead 2-1 when he took a drop pass from Forsberg and fired a shot from the right circle that beat Luongo stick side at 7:44.“(Arvidsson) has been unreal since he came back from his injury,” Josi said. “He’s always been great. He goes to the net, he scores a lot of goals, he never gives up.”Fiala stretched the Predators’ lead to 3-1 when he swept in the puck from the left side with 5:50 left in the third.Arvidsson added an empty-netter with 1:56 left. He leads the team with 21 goals despite missing six weeks with the injury, including 12 since his return on Dec. 27.It was a disappointing return for the Panthers after winning three straight before the All-Star break.“For being off that long, I thought we had a good first period,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said. “The third period was just a couple bounces they executed on. We had our chances, but Saros was pretty good. He shut us down at the right times. We couldn’t seem to find that next one.”Huberdeau put the Panthers ahead on a power-play goal with 4:45 left in the second. His wrist shot from the left circle beat Saros Womens Samuel Girard Jersey , who was screened on the play by Aleksander Barkov.Luongo took a puck to his mask on a shot by Forsberg midway through the second period.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Pekka Rinne was beaten early, but never again.Ryan Ellis scored his first game-winning goal of the season, Rinne made 25 saves and the Nashville Predators defeated the Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Tuesday night.Austin Watson and Craig Smith also scored for Nashville, which halted a two-game skid.Zack Smith scored for Ottawa, which has lost four of five.Nashville improved its record against Eastern Conference opponents to 9-0-0 this season.“I thought tonight we were pretty good defensively for most of the game,” Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. “I liked the fact that we didn’t turn the puck over. Their neutral zone can be tough to get through. We did a good job of just playing a smart, simple game.”Zack Smith scored the first goal on the game’s first shot 26 seconds into the opening period. Carrying the puck into the Nashville zone on the right side Semyon Varlamov Jersey , Smith sent a backhand from the left faceoff dot by Rinne on the far side.“It’s a bad goal and you never want to start the game like that — it’s the first shot,” Rinne said. “It’s not the first time I’ve given up a soft goal. You just focus on making the next save, focus on the things you can control. Guys responded really well.”Watson tied it 1-all at 15:38 of the first.From the left boards, Mattias Ekholm sent a shot toward the Ottawa net. In the low slot, Watson tipped the puck high to the glove side of goaltender Craig Anderson for his sixth goal of the season.Prior to Ekholm releasing the puck, Watson tapped his stick on the ice to get the attention of the Swedish defenseman.“It was a great play by Ekky to get that back to the front of the net,” Watson said. “I’d kind of created a little space off the other side. Great look by him.”Anderson finished with 33 saves.Ottawa’s road record is 3-10-1.“I don’t think we played poorly, but I don’t think we played our best,” Senators forward Mark Stone said. “The road is a different beast. Teams come into our building Sergei Boikov Jersey , we play pretty well. We know that teams are solid on home ice. That’s the nature of the NHL. You have to have a good home record, but also you have to find a way to win on the road.”Ellis hooked up with defensive partner Roman Josi on a give-and-go at 9:01 of the second to give Nashville a 2-1 lead.At the right point, Ellis sent a pass to Josi on the right boards. From there, Josi tapped the puck back to Ellis skating through the slot, where he snapped a one-timer over Anderson’s left shoulder.Rinne made his best save in the final minute of the second period when he denied Brady Tkachuk’s attempt from just outside the Nashville crease.“Tkachuk gets it, but it’s on his backhand and it’s fumbling and goes back the opposite way,” Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. “It that one goes in, it’s 2-2, so again Youth Jake McCabe Jersey , it’s a different game.”Craig Smith made it 3-1 at 1:59 of the third when he skated into the Ottawa zone along the right boards.

DALLAS (AP) —had the right answer for Florida’s top-10 offense on Tuesday night.Montgomery countered the Panthers‘ firepower with some of his own Youth Dion Phaneuf Jersey , reuniting Dallas’ three top scorers on the same line, and Alexander Radulov got two goals in the third period to send the Stars to a 4-2 victory.“I didn’t like the first 7 minutes,” Montgomery said. “We were sleepy. I just put Jamie (Benn) out there one shift with (Radulov) and (Tyler Seguin).“Initially, we had (Radek) Faksa’s line going out against (Florida’s top line). Then when I saw our top line get going, I said I was just going to let them go head-to-head.“They had that first goal which was really pretty, and I said, ‘There’s something there tonight.'”That first goal, by Benn, tied the game 1-all at 17:49 of the first period.In addition to Radulov’s two goals and an assist, Benn had a goal and two assists and Seguin assisted on all four Dallas goals.“Monty doesn’t really say anything,” Seguin said, “but we know that when we are together, we need to produce.”Despite having the third-fewest goals in the NHL, the Stars remained in position for the first Western Conference wild card and stayed within two points of third-place St. Louis in the Central Division.Midway through the third period, Seguin reached up to keep the puck inside the blue line and passed to Benn for a 2-on-1 break. Benn passed across to Radulov, who beat Panthers rookie goalie Sam Montembeault with a snap shot to make it 3-2.Montembeault made 32 saves.“The third goal was a turnover Drew Doughty Jersey ,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said, “and as a result, it ended up in the back of our net.”Radulov was awarded an empty-netter, his 24th goal of the season, because a Florida player threw his stick at the puck.John Klingberg scored on a power play in the second period to give Dallas a 2-1 lead.Stars goalie Ben Bishop extended his winning streak to six games, but his franchise-record scoreless streak ended at 2:33:04 when Florida scored 2:11 into the first period.Aleksander Barkov deflected Jonathan Huberdeau’s shot from the right-side boards over the goalie.“I think it went off Faksa’s stick, Barkov, and maybe off Esa (Lindell),” Bishop said.Barkov added a power-play goal that tied the game at 2 late in the second period.Bishop finished with 20 saves. His shutout streak was the 24th-longest in NHL history.“It’s not something you’re striving for,” he said, “but a great honor to have obviously some great names on that list. To be able to pass Ed Belfour is really great for me. He was my goalie coach for a little bit in Peoria. Somebody I grew up idolizing.”Klingberg had given Dallas a lead for the first time in three games at 10:38 of the second. It was the Stars’ first power-play goal in four games and only the second in the past 19 opportunities.Barkov made it 2-all at 16:57 of the second. His wrist shot inside the left post came against a Dallas penalty-killing unit that had been successful on 20 of the previous 21 opportunities. The Stars rank second in fewest goals allowed.Barkov was more concerned about his line’s defense.“We made a couple of bad mistakes that led to goals,” he said. “We can’t afford to make those types of mistakes against that type of team.”NOTES: Barkov has 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) in a seven-game scoring streak.

TORONTO (AP) — The play of Thomas Chabot might help the Ottawa Senators get over the loss of Erik Karlsson.Chabot had two goals and an assist http://www.officialkings.com/authentic-adidas-dustin-brown-jersey , Craig Anderson made 34 saves, and the Senators defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-3 on Saturday night.Dylan DeMelo and Chris Tierney, who were among the players acquired from the San Jose Sharks in a trade for Karlsson, also scored for Ottawa. Mark Stone added an empty-net goal with 24.3 seconds left.Zack Smith chipped in with two assists for the rebuilding Senators, who have looked good with their young roster through two games and a 1-0-1 start.The Senators are a franchise in the midst of a rebuild after a number of off-ice issues and the trading of Karlsson, their captain and star defenseman, in a six-player swap on the eve of training camp.“You saw the offense … the ceiling’s high,” Ottawa head coach Guy Boucher said of Chabot. “He’s going to become just as good defensively over time.“I have so much faith in him.”Chabot played 63 games with the Senators last season after failing to make the club out of training camp before finishing his rookie campaign with nine goals and 16 assists.“Usually a defenseman gets into his prime around 23, 24,” he said of being thrust into top-pair duty minutes following the Karlsson deal. “It’s earlier than we expected.“I’m just trying to take advantage of every opportunity.”Mitch Marner, Auston Matthews and Morgan Rielly each had a goal and an assist for Toronto, which has a win and a loss in a wobbly start to the season.Frederik Andersen stopped 19 shots for the Leafs.“If you’re going to be 1-1, probably should have won tonight and lost against Montreal,” Toronto head coach Mike Babcock said. “We didn’t capitalize around the net tonight like we probably could have.”Chabot snapped a 3-3 tie with his second goal of the game at 1:42 of the third period, sliding the puck through the skates of Toronto rookie Igor Ozhiganov off the rush before beating Andersen.Ottawa’s Anderson made a nice stop on a Connor Brown deflection with 9:24 left in regulation to keep his team ahead on just the fourth shot of the period by Toronto.The Senators nearly went ahead by two a couple minutes later, but Andersen was there to block Smith’s shot from close range after the Leafs failed to get the puck out.Toronto made an expected late push and pulled Andersen with three minutes to go Jake Muzzin Jersey , but the Leafs couldn’t find an equalizer.Ottawa led 1-0 after the first period, but Toronto struck early in the second to take a 2-1 lead. Rielly got things started 29 seconds in, taking a feed from Marner before Matthews scored his third of the season at 1:10.The Senators evened the score at 3:49, when Chabot stepped around Tyler Ennis at the point and took advantage of some sloppy Leafs coverage to pick up his own rebound and beat Andersen.Just 38 seconds later, Tierney got behind Toronto’s defense and beat Andersen between the pads for the Senators’ third goal on nine shots.Andersen stopped Patrick Marleau to keep his team in front with a great pad save later in the period, but Marner raced between Ottawa defensemen Cody Ceci and Mark Borowiecki on the power play before faking the Senators goalie to the ice and sliding a shot home with less than two minutes left in the period to make it 3-3.Toronto beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in overtime to open the season on Wednesday — a disjointed effort in which Leafs were stuck in their own zone for long stretches.Ottawa, meanwhile, opened its season with a 4-3 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks in a game in which the Senators led 3-2 in the third on Thursday.The Leafs got the better start they wanted Saturday, with Marner, Marleau and John Tavares all coming close early, but it was the Senators that took the lead at 9:42 of the first.Chabot’s pass from the left corner in the offensive zone went off Smith’s stick to DeMelo, who beat Andersen along the ice to snap a personal 87-game goal drought that dated back to Nov. 26, 2016.Marner had a chance to tie it with 5:47 left in the period on a penalty shot after getting slashed on a breakaway by Chris Wideman, but Anderson made a right pad save.“The younger guys did a great job,” Boucher said. “And the older guys did a terrific job of anchoring them.”NOTES: Ottawa winger Brady Tkachuk sat out with a groin injury for the second straight game.

SUNRISE Youth Dustin Byfuglien Jersey , Fla. — will be ready when they visit the Florida Panthers on Thursday night, and that is — essentially — a promise.The Avs had an 11-game points streak snapped on Tuesday in a 6-3 loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins.“We have to have a short memory,” said Avs coach Jared Bednar after Colorado’s unbeaten string of 9-0-2 was broken. “That’s what we’ve been preaching. I don’t care what we did yesterday, the day before or the week before.Article continues below ...“I’m worried about the next game, and that’s the way our whole team thinks. That approach was how we were able to sustain our points streak.”Colorado’s approach has been working. After finishing last in the league in 2016-2017 with only 48 points, the Avs earned 95 points last season and made the playoffs. Their 47-point improvement ranks as the fourth-best in NHL history.Meanwhile, the Panthers started slowly last season and finished with a rush — only to fall one point short of the playoffs.They have started slowly again this season but have started to gain some momentum during their current eight-game home stretch. There are just two games left on this stand — the Avs on Thursday and the New York Rangers on Saturday.Of the 16 points available to the Panthers in those games, they have picked up eight so far (3-1-2), and they could leave with 12 if all goes well the rest of this week.On Tuesday, the Panthers (11-10-5) turned in their most decisive win of the season, routing the Boston Bruins 5-0.Mike Hoffman scored two goals http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-jacob-trouba-jersey , Aleksander Barkov had three assists, and goalie Roberto Luongo returned from his second stint on injured reserve this season to record his 77th career shutout, taking sole possession of ninth place on the all-time NHL list.“It was great to have ‘Lu’ back in there,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said of Luongo, who made 32 saves in his first appearance since Nov. 23. “You could see he was in full control back there. His rebound control was amazing. There weren’t many second chances laying around his crease.”Luongo has played just 10 games this season due to a pair of lower-body injuries.Assuming he plays on Thursday — Boughner may be careful with the 39-year-old goalie and opt to start James Reimer instead — he will face an Avs team that leads the Western Conference with 10 road wins.The Avalanche are 10-5-2 on the road and 16-7-5 overall. With 37 points, the Avs are second in the Western Conference, trailing only the Nashville Predators (39 points).Florida, with 27 points, entered Wednesday tied with the Ottawa Senators for last place in the Atlantic Division. The Panthers’ offense is led by Hoffman, who was acquired from Ottawa in a steal of a trade this past offseason and has a team-high 14 goals. He also has 26 points in his past 24 games.Panthers winger Jonathan Huberdeau is also hot with six straight multi-point games. He had one goal and two assists on Tuesday and has three goals and 11 assists during his streak. Huberdeau can tie Pavel Bure’s franchise record with a multi-point game his next time out.Colorado can counter with perhaps the top line in the NHL — center Nathan MacKinnon and wingers Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen.This Avs trio ranks 1-2-3 on the team in points: Rantanen with 11 goals and team highs in assists (35) and points (46); MacKinnon with a team-high 19 goals and 43 points; and Landeskog with 16 goals and 31 points.All three of them are age 26 or younger, and MacKinnon Austin Czarnik Jersey Womens , 23, finished second in the Hart Trophy voting last season and also second in the NHL in points per game. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A pep talk by new coach Scott Gordon has helped turn James van Riemsdyk’s game around.Van Riemsdyk recorded a hat trick, and Nolan Patrick had two goals and two assists to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 7-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Monday night.Van Riemsdyk scored a power-play goal with 7:56 left in the second period, scored on a deflection late in the second and added an empty-net goal 1:17 remaining in the third. He has five goals and two assists during a three-game point streak after having just one point in his previous seven games.The Flyers’ big offseason signing, van Riemsdyk had slumped and stood at six goals through 27 games when interim coach Gordon had a heart-to-heart with the veteran center following Philadelphia’s 5-3 loss at Washington last Tuesday in a game in which van Riemsdyk was demoted to the fourth line.“It was nice to get clarification,” said van Riemsdyk, who signed a five-year, $35 million contract last summer. “Sometimes you don’t even realize you’re not doing it the way they want you to do it.”Gordon, who replaced Dave Hakstol last month, was an assistant in Toronto, where van Riemsdyk prospered. The coach wanted to see van Riemsdyk get back to what worked with the Maple Leafs Josh Morrissey Jersey , particularly making his presence felt in front of the net.“It’s one of the areas I felt he can be better,” Gordon said. “I know what he’s capable of. I can fall back to Toronto, what I saw there and what I wasn’t seeing here.”Van Riemsdyk’s first tally, a power-play goal with 7:56 left in the first period, turned the tide after Minnesota jumped to a quick 2-0 lead. Philadelphia’s power play came in ranked 30th, connecting at just 12.8 percent, and Gordon made major changes by installing five forwards onto the top unit. It paid off when van Riemsdyk deflected Jakub Voracek’s slap shot to pull the Flyers within 2-1. The goal was upheld after a video challenge by Minnesota.“It’s nice to see we were able to score in bunches tonight,” van Riemsdyk said.Philadelphia tied a season high for goals.Wayne Simmonds also had two goals for the Flyers. It was just the second win in the last 11 games for Philadelphia, which began Monday with the fewest points in the league.Jason Zucker, Marcus Foligno, Joel Eriksson Ek and Ryan Suter scored for Minnesota. The Wild dropped to 0-5-1 against Metropolitan Division teams.“You can’t make the mistakes we’re making out there and hope to win a hockey game http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-kyle-connor-jersey ,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said.Philadelphia outscored the Wild 3-1 in a busy second period.Foligno struck first, following his own miss from right in front of Carter Hart, to give Minnesota a 3-2 lead.Patrick entered without a goal in 24 straight games before the first of his two scores tied it at 3. Then he made it 4-3 with 4:32 remaining with a highlight-worthy play. Travis Sanheim took the initial slapper from the point, and Patrick moved his stick between his own legs and shot behind his back after the rebound caromed hard off the back boards for his seventh of the season.“That’s something you practice in the summer,” Patrick said.Asked if he had ever scored a goal like that, Patrick said: “In a beer league.”Simmonds lifted a shot over Devan Dubnyk with 5.2 seconds left. Boudreau pulled Dubnyk after the second, replacing him with Alex Stalock.A fluky goal with 11:42 left in the third pulled the Wild within 5-4. An attempted clearance from in front of Hart bounced off Suter and back into the goal. It was waved off at first, but the officials reversed their initial decision after a video replay showed that Eric Staal was pushed into Hart by defenseman Robert Hagg.Simmonds answered with his second of the game 2:25 later on a breakaway.Notes: Scott Laughton had three assists, while Giroux had two. … Philadelphia D Andrew MacDonald returned after missing the last six games with a lower-body injury. … Philadelphia improved to 9-9-3 against Western Conference teams.UP NEXTWild: Host Los Angeles on Tuesday night.Flyers: Host Boston on Wednesday night.

WASHINGTON (AP) Custom Minnesota Wild Jerseys , Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson is an expert when it comes to knowing what the NHL looks for when punishing someone for a dangerous hit, and he thinks Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Anton Stralman could be in trouble.Wilson, who served a three-game suspension earlier this postseason, spoke out about the way Stralman slammed him into the glass in the first period of what turned into a 4-2 victory for Tampa Bay over Washington in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final on Tuesday night.Stralman was sent to the penalty box for boarding on the play.”It’s a vulnerable position. There’s no doubt there’s contact with my head. If I’m wearing a helmet from five years ago, I think I’m probably unconscious. So we’ll see what they say,” Wilson said, referring to the possibility of the league’s department of player safety reviewing the matter.On the play, Wilson was facing the glass not too far from the Capitals’ bench when Stralman hit him from behind. Wilson dropped to the ice and put his right glove to his helmet.After the game, which allowed the Lightning to cut their series deficit to 2-1 www.officialcanadiensprostore.com , Wilson talked about the ”goose egg on the side of my head” and acknowledged, ”It took me a little bit to collect myself.”He said the hit included ”everything I’ve heard all year: He sees (jersey) numbers for a good amount of time, and he elevates through the back of my shoulder and head.”Capitals coach Barry Trotz referred to those as ”red flags,” and added, ”I understand where Tom’s coming from, no question.””That’s a lot of `don’ts’ for me. From what they’ve been telling me, that’s a lot of `don’ts.’ If I make that hit, 100 percent I’m probably sitting out. So we’ll see. It’s playoffs. It’s an intense time of year,” Wilson said. ”I don’t think he’s a malicious player Montreal Canadiens T-Shirts Authentic , at all. But it’s a pretty dangerous hit. I think a lot of people will say that.”The game was scoreless at the time of that hit, but Tampa Bay would go on to take a 3-0 lead en route to the victory. Wilson thought that Stralman’s play might have set a tone that affected the way play went.”(When) someone gets run from behind, for the next couple shifts, you might be a little more tentative coming back for pucks,” Wilson said. ”We’ve got to play through it. There’s going to be emotion.”Senior vice president of player safety George Parros was at Tuesday’s game. During the season, Parros and Wilson met for about an hour to go over video clips of various hits so the player could understand what the league is watching for.During Washington’s elimination of two-time reigning Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh in the second round of the playoffs, Wilson missed three games after breaking Penguins rookie Zach Aston-Reese’s jaw in a violent collision.Wilson also was forced to sit out two preseason games following a late hit on an opponent, then was suspended for the first four games of the regular season for boarding a player shortly after his return.— Two teams coming off disappointing opening-night losses will look to get to the .500 mark Saturday night when the Vegas Golden Knights start a five-game road trip against the Minnesota Wild.Vegas’ 5-2 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday evening was surprising for several reasons, not the least of which was that goalie Marc-Andre Fleury lasted just 30:11. That was long enough for Philadelphia to pump five goals past him on just 16 shots.“We left him out to dry there Montreal Canadiens Hoodies Authentic ,” Golden Knights left winger Max Pacioretty said. “That’s frustrating. He’s the backbone of this team, so it’s frustrating when you leave your best player out to dry like that and we’ll make it up to him.”Article continues below ...After making it to the Stanley Cup Finals in its expansion season, Vegas loaded up for another run by acquiring Pacioretty from Montreal and inking Paul Stastny as a free agent in the offseason. They basically took the place of James Neal and David Perron, who are now skating in Calgary and St. Louis, respectively.There was no immediate impact by Pacioretty and Stastny in their Golden Knights debut. Neither scored a point, both were minus one and they combined for just four shots on goal.Vegas center Pierre-Edouard Bellemare referred to the loss as a slap in the face. Coach Gerard Gallant said it’s just a matter of the team getting back to work.“I think the expectations started late last year when we got into the playoffs,” Gallant said. “We were a good team. We know we’re a pretty good team again this year … obviously, things didn’t go our way tonight at all.”They also didn’t go Minnesota’s way in Denver, where not even another Zach Parise opening-night marker and a terrific performance by goalie Devan Dubnyk could save the Wild from a 4-1 loss to Colorado.Parise’s tap-in marker just 6:14 into the game marked his 10th goal on opening night Montreal Canadiens Hats Authentic , second among active players. He nearly notched his 11th to snap a 1-1 tie in the second period, but his backhand bat of a rebound caromed off the right post.“That’s where he’s made his living,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said of Parise. “He goes to the front of the net, he’s going to score a lot of goals. That’s what he did.”While Parise scored, Dubnyk mostly denied. He made 36 saves on 38 shots, keeping Minnesota in contention for two points on a night where it was outshot 40-21. Among his best saves were a glorious glove stop of Nathan MacKinnon and a sprawling pad save on a Colin Wilson attempt that seemed certain to find net.But two empty-netters in the last 1:53 tagged the Wild with a loss that it probably deserved, given the Avalanche’s nearly 2-to-1 advantage in shots on net.The good news for Minnesota is that it’s entering a home-heavy stretch of its schedule. Saturday’s game kicks off the first of two three-game homestands in the next three weeks. Of the next nine games, seven will be played at Xcel Energy Center.
