Winnipeg Jets 3 Chicago Black Hawks 1 (Jets 25-24-5, 12-14-1 road)? - With the win the Jets get above the .500 time since their New Years Eve win over Buffalo. The Jets are now 6-1 in the last seven games since Paul Maurice came on board. It was quite a week for the Jets, as they came out with four of six road points against three of the best home teams in the NHL. It was a win in Anaheim, the first regulation home loss of the season for the Ducks, a 1-0 loss in San Jose, and this win over Chicago, a team that going into the game had only lost three home games in regulation.? Add the home win over Toronto and in a stretch of four games in six nights, they picked up six of eight points. The win was the first in seven attempts for the Jets on the second night of back to back games. The first period was all Chicago. Brandon Bollig with his sixth opened the scoring at 1:21, with the Hawks outshooting the Jets 18-2. The Jets did not get their first shot on goal until the 10:13 mark of the period. Al Montoya playing in his hometown was terrific. It was not a great goal that opened the scoring, but the veteran netminder was able to put it behind him and make save after save as the Hawks attempted to blow the game open. The Jets were better in the second but it was still near the midway mark of the period before they got their first shot on goal. Shots in the second were 9-4 in favour of the Hawks, but again Montoya made a number of big saves to keep his team in the game. Andrew Ladd appeared to tie the game, but defenseman Sheldon Brookbank stopped a shot that was headed into the open side. The one area the Jets did dominate in was the physical part, and by the third it seemed to slow the Hawks down. Corey Crawford still looking for his first shutout kept it a 1-0 Chicago lead with a number of good saves, his best off defenseman Adam Pardy off a rebound. The next rebound chance the Jets had tied the game as Blake Wheeler with his 20th of the year made it 1-1. Mark Stuart shot it from the left point, it went off Evander Kane, Crawford made the save before Wheeler buried it. That came at 8:16, with the Jets getting their first lead of the game at 12:53 after a Marian Hossa pass in his own end ended up on the stick of Andrew Ladd who snapped it low glove for his 12th of the year.? Wheeler put the game away with an empty net goal at 18:45 on an assist from Toby Enstrom. After a good shift by the Bryan Little line -- and considering it was back to back -- Maurice wanted size and strength in a defending role, and sent out Wheeler, Olli Jokinen and Dustin Byfuglien. That shift led to the empty net goal. Shots in the third favoured the Jets 15-8. Over the game it was 35-21 Hawks. The Jets outhit the Hawks 53-17 with Byfuglien leading the way with eight. Micheal Frolik led in shots with four, Zach Bogosian in ice time at 26:16, his defense partner Enstrom next at 25:07. Each was a plus two in the game. After going without a goal in November, Wheeler has 16 goals in his last 26 games, and is 5-5-10 in the last seven games. “Its been a tough grind. Weve played three of the top five teams in the league this week and the first period showed just how tough it is. I cant say enough about what a character win this is,” commented Maurice post-game. “Down one going into the third to the second best team we felt we would just throw everything at them. If youre not out of the game, it means you are absolutely in it.” On the play of Montoya who was playing his first game since the coaching change: “He won us the game. He was great. We asked him to be special and he was.”?

Giants Ryder Jones Jersey .com) - The Calgary Flames are spoilers once again.CLEVELAND -- Justin Mastersons health is in serious doubt. The Indians playoff chances are just as iffy. Masterson was pulled from his start in the second inning with soreness in his left side and Clevelands hitters stayed in a collective slump Monday night with a 7-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, one of the teams the Indians are scrapping with for the AL wild card. Masterson felt tightness in his side in the first inning, and after applying a heat ointment between innings, Clevelands All-Star ace took the mound in the second thinking he would be able to continue. But after a few pitches, his outing was done -- and its possible his season could be over as well. "It just tightened up on me," Masterson (14-10) said. "I went out to throw and it was like, Oh, boy. I couldnt get through a pitch. I was trying to sink em in there, but it wasnt going to work." Masterson will undergo an MRI and other tests Tuesday. Those results could determine whether the Indians will continue to battle for one of two playoff spots. "Hopefully its nothing serious," All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis said. "Definitely love to have the big fella out there for us. Hes our ace." Bud Norris (10-10) stayed unbeaten as a starter with Baltimore and Nate McLouth homered and had three RBIs as the Orioles moved 1 1/2 games ahead of the Indians in the wild-card standings. Norris allowed one run -- a homer to Kipnis in the seventh -- and four hits in seven innings. The right-hander improved to 4-0 in seven starts with the Orioles, who acquired him at the July 31 trading deadline from Houston. Matt Wieters hit a two-run homer in the ninth and Brian Roberts drove in two runs for the Orioles, who didnt take any satisfaction in not having to face Masterson for more than two innings. "You hate to see that," McLouth said. "I feel really bad for him. He can go through stretches of a game where hes so dominant. It does make a difference." Masterson said its possible he could only miss a few days and that some rest will help. However, he also realizes the tests could reveal something more significant. "Its not the best-case scenario," he said. "So if it is any more serious than I think it is, we have some good guys in place that can do a lot of work. Were hoping things will be all right. We have a lot of guys coming up who can help out and do a good job. "I think youre going to see the guys really battle over the next 25 games that we got. "Thats going to show up whether Im here or not." With just one month left, the Indians arent going to take any chances with Masterson, their leader in wins, innings and just about everything else. "Its hard to quantify," Indians manager Terry Francona said when asked about Mastersons value. "Hes our best pitcher. But when things dont go your way, you can either feell sorry for yourselves or you can find a way to shine.dddddddddddd I hope that we are able to come back, whether it takes everybody in the bullpen or guys on the bench, keep fighting. "Thats the best way to do it." After dropping two of three in Boston and New York, the Orioles, who staggered through a 12-14 August, arrived in Cleveland needing to string some wins together. "I knew that schedule was going to be a challenge," manager Buck Showalter said before the game. "Were .500 in our last 10 games. Is it half full or half empty?" Norris provided some more optimism, striking out eight and keeping his record unblemished in seven starts since joining Baltimore. He allowed just one hit through five innings, and picked Michael Brantley off second in the second. The Indians are sliding in the wrong direction. They went 1-5 on a trip to Atlanta and Detroit, only salvaging the finale Sunday thanks to a ninth-inning grand slam by Mike Aviles to beat the Tigers. Masterson initially showed discomfort while working to Wieters leading off the second. He grimaced and flared his elbow at his side, a motion that sent Francona to the mound accompanied by a trainer. The right-hander stayed in the game, but after allowing a single to Wieters, he threw an 87 mph fastball to Nick Markakis and paused. Catcher Carlos Santana headed to the mound and shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera immediately waved toward the dugout, bringing Francona again. He took the ball from Masterson, who dejectedly walked off the field and then disgustedly tossed a cup of water in the dugout before heading to the clubhouse. "There wasnt any pull or anything like that that Im aware of," Masterson said. "Were going to get a few more things checked out over the next couple days." Preston Guilmet replaced Masterson and gave up a single to Markakis. With one out, McLouth hit an apparent RBI double to centre. However, the Indians won an appeal that Markakis missed second base, and under rule 10.05, McLouth was not awarded a hit on the play because it was a forceout. After Guilmet walked No. 9 hitter Alexi Casilla, Roberts hit a two-run double to make it 3-0. NOTES: Indians RHP Corey Kluber, sidelined since Aug. 6 with a sprained middle finger, will pitch in relief Friday after Scott Kazmir starts against the Mets. Kluber pitched a simulated game Monday, and because he hasnt pitched in some time, the Indians want to be conservative with him. Also, the club is concerned about overworking Kazmir. "I think it has a chance to help us win, help both pitchers and help the bullpen," Francona said. ... Indians OF Ryan Raburn is expected to be activated Tuesday after being sidelined with a pulled calf muscle. ... With his next homer, Hardy will become the fourth active shortstop and ninth since 1901 to record three or more seasons with 25 or more homers. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
