WASHINGTON -- The Washington Capitals scored early and late in regulation before
turning toward goaltender Braden Holtby, who sealed a satisfying comeback
victory.
Rafinha Jersey . Holtby had 33 saves, then
blanked the Minnesota in a shootout as Washington beat the Wild 3-2 to extend
its winning streak to four games. After Holtby helped squelch a Minnesota power
play that extended into overtime, Nicklas Backstrom scored the only goal in the
shootout to secure the Capitals fourth straight home win. Holtby outplayed Wild
goalie Josh Harding, who came in with an NHL-best 1.09 goals-against average and
stopped 25 shots. "He made a couple of saves that I was like, Wow, incredible,"
Backstrom said of Holtby. Alex Ovechkin scored a power-play goal at 8:10 of the
first period on Washingtons second shot of the game, and the Capitals didnt beat
Harding again until Marcus Johansson forced overtime with a blast from the right
circle at 16:52 of the third period. The shot came only minutes after Harding
made several outstanding saves with Washington on the power play. "I thought we
did a really good job killing that, but it really put us on our heels,"
Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said. "After that, it seemed like we were hemmed in our
end." The Wild had the extra man for the final 57 seconds of regulation and the
opening 1:03 of overtime, but could not convert. After two players from each
side failed to score in the shootout, Backstrom beat Harding with a wrist shot
that went into the upper left corner of the net. Holtby then denied Charlie
Coyle to win it. Coyle and Mikael Granlund scored in regulation for the Wild,
whose three-game winning streak ended. "The result wasnt there because they got
that one (goal) late," Minnesota forward Matt Cooke said. "Its frustrating. You
go out and do your part and guys are blocking shots and guys are taking hits to
make plays, and the results not there. At the end of the day, its about wins and
losses." Granlund put Minnesota up 2-1 at 6:07 of the second period with his
second goal of the season. Jason Pominville controlled a rebound on the side of
the net and passed to Granlund, who sent a fluttering shot past Holtbys left
shoulder. Later in the period, Washington rookie Tom Wilson broke free down the
left side. Harding kept his ground and plucked the shot out of the air with his
glove. The Capitals came into the game with an NHL-leading 26 goals in the
second period, but in this one they went scoreless on nine shots. In the third
period, however, Washington got the pivotal goal. "What I liked about the tying
goal is it took a lot of hard work," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "We fought
through a lot of frustration because they were giving you nothing. It was hard
to get shots to the net." The Wild outshot the Capitals 12-5 in a first period
that produced one power-play goal from each team. Less than 20 seconds after
Minnesotas Nate Prosser was sent to the penalty box for cross checking, Ovechkin
scored from the left circle off a pass from Backstrom at 8:10. It was the third
power-play goal in two games for Ovechkin, who needs only four more to break
Peter Bondras franchise record of 137. Coyle scored against the leagues most
effective penalty-killing unit with just over two minutes left in the period.
Zach Parise got an assist on the play to extend his point-scoring streak to four
games. Notes: Washington improved to 4-0 in shootouts. ... Minnesota D Keith
Ballard was scratched with an upper body injury, and is also expected to miss
Saturdays game in Carolina. ... Capitals F Eric Fehr was a healthy scratch for a
second straight game. ... This was only the second time in the Wilds seven games
in Washington that they scored more than one goal.
Neymar Jersey . He will just have to wait a
little longer. Bester grabbed an early lead before Scotlands Darren Burnett took
over and ran away with the mens singles lawn bowling final 21-9 on Friday.

Cavaliers superstar LeBron James will sit out Thursdays game against the
Oklahoma City Thunder with left knee soreness. LINCOLN, Neb. -- New England
Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard reported to a Lincoln jail Saturday to begin
his 60-day term for a 2012 assault on a police officer. Dennard, 24, reported to
the Lancaster County Adult Detention Facility Saturday morning, according to
corrections officers with the Lincoln facility who spoke on condition of
anonymity because of jail policy. The former Nebraska football standout will
have to serve at least 35 days, after credit for good behaviour and the three
days hes already spent in jail. In April, a judge sentenced Dennard to two years
probation, 30 days in jail and community service for assaulting an officer and
resisting arrest outside a Lincoln bar days before he was choseen in the NFL
Draft.
Oscar Jersey. Dennard had been projected to
be a middle-round NFL draft pick, but the Patriots took him in the seventh
round. The judge later extended his probation to three years and doubled the
jail time after Dennard was again arrested in Lincoln on suspicion of drunken
driving in July. That charge was later dismissed in exchange for Dennards no
contest plea for refusing to submit to a chemical test. He was fined $500 and
placed on probation for that offence. Dennard finished this season, his second
in the NFL, with 40 tackles (34 solo, 6 assists) and one interception. The
Patriots fell just short of the Super Bowl, losing to the Denver Broncos in the
AFC Championship game.
