I think weve been having chances and were putting the puck in the net the last few games. I think tonight we got a little puck luck. I think we earned our chances and youre not going to lose much when you score six goals so that was good for us.Wilson got his third of the season 2:02 into the second to tie it.

I just tried to stick up for him. Those are hits that sometimes happen fast and I dont think (McDonagh) was targeting (him) by any means.Were a team. We want to stick together, and I was just trying to stick up for him.The Penguins didnt score on the extended power play but did generate three shots and their pressure kept the Rangers from being able to implement and sustain their attacking style of play.New York led after Rick Nashs power-play goal 4:22 into the game.

Then he stepped up to the plate and turned things around. "The hitting made me feel a little better. I was still a little nervous," Chandler said. Chandler allowed three runs before hitting a single, double and triple in four plate appearances, and Sammamish used four pitchers to beat Corpus Christi, Texas, 8-4 on Thursday to advance to the second round. Jack Carper had a home run among his three hits and Nathan Fitzgibbons drove in two runs for the Northwest champions, who moved on to a winners bracket game Sunday against Westport, Conn., which beat South Nashville, Tenn., 3-2 in the night game. Westport trailed 2-1 before rallying with a pair of runs in the fifth inning. "We got down but weve been in tough spots several times this year and the kids always find a way to battle back," Westport coach Tim Rogers said. "They know how to keep grinding." Sammamish jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning, and manager Rob Chandler -- Dalton Chandlers father -- had already planned to pull starter Jacob Dahlstrom after around 50 pitches. Dahlstrom wound up throwing 53 and departed with two Corpus Christi runners on base in the third inning before Dalton Chandler took the mound. "We had a game plan that hed go 50 (pitches) and wed try to preserve pitch counts," Rob Chandler said. Before Chandler recorded his first out, he walked two, allowed a base hit and threw a wild pitch. By then, Juan Sosa, Christian Servantes and Brandon DeLeon had scored to pull Corpus Christi to 5-4. Sosa scored on the wild pitch and Servantes followed when the ball was thrown errantly back toward home plate. Will Armbruester and Jack Matheson followed Chandler to the mound over the final three innings and limited Corpus Christi too two hits to preserve the victory. Robert Covington Jersey.
