NEW YORK -- Three of the NHLs top five most valuable teams are based in Canada
for the first time since Forbes started tracking the value of teams in the
league 15 years ago.
Lakers Jersey . The Toronto Maple Leafs are
worth an NHL-high $1.15 billion, followed by the New York Rangers, Montreal
Canadiens, Vancouver Canucks and the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks,
according to Forbes annual valuations announced on Monday. Forbes says Canadian
teams usually have higher attendance, helping them generate more revenue from
their arenas as compared to U.S.-based franchises. NHL teams are valued at an
average of $413 million, Forbes estimates. The Boston Bruins rank sixth on the
list followed by the Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Detroit Red Wings
and Los Angeles Kings.

. The Masters champion and winner of last weeks Australian PGA has a three-round
total of 14-under 199 at Royal Melbourne. "Im in a really good position for
tomorrow," Scott said. LOS ANGELES -- Jonathan Quicks Olympic goaltending
audition for U.S. national team coach Dan Bylsma ended after three Pittsburgh
goals in one rocky period. All that proves to Bylsma is that his Penguins are
awfully good. Jussi Jokinen had a goal and two assists in the first period,
Evgeni Malkin scored in the opening minute, and Pittsburgh chased Quick early in
a 4-1 victory over the struggling Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
Chris Kunitz and Tanner Glass both scored in their second straight game for the
Penguins, who opened a two-game West Coast road trip with the franchises first
regulation victory at Staples Center. Former Kings farmhand Jeff Zatkoff made 30
saves in the Eastern Conference leaders fourth win in five games. Quick didnt
exactly make a stellar argument to Bylsma for the starting job in Sochi, giving
up three goals on the Penguins first five shots before Martin Jones replaced him
for the final two periods. Quick is competing with Detroits Jimmy Howard and
Buffalos Ryan Miller, who was beaten 3-0 by the Penguins on Monday. "Its one
game I get to see live, but ... Ive seen a lot of him," Bylsma said of Quick.
"Its not a good outing for him, but hes got a body of work thats more than just
this game." Quick was hurt by the NHLs best power play: Kunitz scored his
career-high 27th goal on a two-man advantage, and Jokinen added his 16th moments
later. Quick has started 13 of the Kings 14 games since returning from a 24-game
injury absence. "If you give any team a 5-on-3, theyre going to create chances,"
Quick said. "They get one there, and then they get a 2-on-1 where they beat me
over the shoulder. At that point, were not out of the game. We just couldnt get
it together enough to get a couple (of goals)." Jokinen, a Finnish Olympian, had
been in a three-game scoring drought in an otherwise stellar season. He credited
this outburst to his mothers rare chance to see him play live: Most of the
Penguins mothers are travelling with the club on this short trip. "I had a good
first period, so I probably have to fly my mother here more than once a year,,"
Jokinen said.
DAngelo Russell Lakers Jersey. . Anze Kopitar
scored his third goal in five games for the Kings, but those are the only goals
scored in the last nine days by the Kings, who have lost seven of eight. The
Kings had played their last eight games away from Staples Center, including last
weekends "home" game at Dodger Stadium. Theyve got a four-game homestand heading
into the Olympic break, but still havent solved their scoring woes. "They are a
high-powered team," Los Angeles defenceman Matt Greene said. "Its tough to come
back when you arent scoring a lot of goals, and when you give up two on the
penalty kill. Its tough chasing in a game against a team like this." The Staples
Center crowd gave a reasonably warm welcome to Pittsburgh defenceman
Rob Scuderi, who anchored the Kings defence during their Stanley Cup
championship run in 2012 before leaving Los Angeles as a free agent last summer.
But the high-scoring Penguins decisively won their matchup against the NHLs best
defensive team, and they did it early. Just 53 seconds in, Jokinen made a
spectacular no-look pass across the crowded crease to Malkin for his 15th goal.
Kopitar evened it with a rocket of a shot from the faceoff circle midway through
the period for the 16th goal by Slovenias only NHL Olympian. After Jarret Stoll
and Dustin Brown were hit with penalties at the same time, Kunitz scored in
front of Quick after tic-tac-toe passing from Jokinen and Sidney Crosby. Jokinen
put the Penguins up 3-1 just 57 seconds later, ripping a one-timer past Quicks
glove. Glass beat Jones with a sharp-angled backhand late in the second period
for his fourth goal. "We were confident all along," Glass said. "We had a great
start. Our power play was awesome, and then we were stingy when we had to be."
NOTES: Pittsburgh scratched D Kris Letang with an illness. ... Jones and Zatkoff
were AHL teammates from 2010-12. ... Pittsburgh hadnt visited Staples Center
since Nov. 5, 2011, when Kunitz scored a late tying goal and the shootout
winner. ... Pittsburgh C Brandon Sutter is Kings coach Darryl Sutters nephew.
