BUFFALO Luke Schenn Jersey Womens , N.Y. (AP) — A day after the Sabres clarified several comments made off the ice, coach Phil Housley was impressed watching his team clean up its various mistakes and deficiencies on it.The power-play got goals from Casey Mittelstadt and Kyle Okposo, goalie Linus Ullmark didn’t have to resort to acrobatics in stopping 28 shots behind a tighter-checking defense, and Buffalo beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-1 on Saturday.“I think they refocused, but that’s the thing for me is that’s a tight group in there,” Housley said. “I think it just brought us tighter together, the things that went on.”Housley was referring to himself and forward Sam Reinhart spending Friday clarifying eye-opening comments each made following a 6-5 overtime loss to Carolina.Reinhart personally and publicly apologized to Ullmark and fellow goalie Carter Hutton, after saying he misspoke in saying “we need more from our goalies.” What Reinhart said he meant to say is the team needs to do more for its goalies.Housley clarified what some interpreted as him questioning general manager Jason Botterill, when asked to evaluate this group of defensemen.There was little to complain about against Detroit.The Sabres won for just the fourth time in 11 games (4-6-1) and improved to 10-14-5 since a 10-game winning streak in November briefly vaulted them into first place in the Eastern Conference standings.Buffalo began the day four points behind Pittsburgh Womens Niklas Hjalmarsson Jersey , which holds the East’s second and final wild-card berth.After being outshot 12-4 in the opening period, the Sabres broke through with three goals in the second.Ullmark bounced back after allowing 10 goals on 75 shots in his previous two outings — and after Buffalo had allowed four or more goals in eight of its previous 10.“We mostly talked about how we’ve got to clean up our end, and I thought we did a terrific job back there,” Ullmark said.The only costly miscue was on Ullmark, who was out of position in allowing Dylan Larkin to cut Buffalo’s lead to 2-1 on a wrap-around goal with 2:46 remaining in the second period.“It’s definitely a bad goal on my part,” Ullmark said. “Sometimes you screw up.”Okposo bailed him out 2:15 later by beating Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard high on short side with a shot from the left circle.Howard finished with 18 saves, allowing three goals on 12 shots in the second period. Detroit has lost two straight since winning five of seven.“Absolutely, it’s a tough one to give up with, whatever Scott Wedgewood Jersey Womens , 50 seconds left or so,” Red Wings forward Frans Nielsen said of Okposo’s goal.“But at the end of the day we’ve got to put more pucks in the net,” he added. “It’s not just bad luck right now. I think it’s on us. We’ve got to find a way.”Ullmark made a difference, too.His best save came with 8:03 remaining, and immediately after Buffalo’s Tage Thompson squandered a 2-on-1 break at the other end. Ullmark held his ground to prevent Andreas Athanasiou’s attempt to beat him through the legs on a wide-open breakaway.Conor Sheary opened the scoring 75 seconds into the second period when he intercepted Justin Abdelkader’s soft pass at Detroit’s blue line.Mittelstadt scored nine minutes later by one-timing in Jack Eichel’s pass into the right circle for Buffalo’s first power-play goal.Buffalo’s power-play went two for three, and has converted five of 10 opportunities in its last four games after going two of 30 in its previous 12.NOTES: Red Wings D Trevor Daley is nearing his return after missing his 24th game with foot injury.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Laurent Brossoit’s first career shutout happened in the right building.Brossoit stopped 40 shots at Rogers Arena and Mark Scheifele scored with 1:32 left in the third period as the Jets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 1-0 Saturday night.“This is one of those games I don’t think I will forget,” said Brossoit Conor Sheary Jersey Womens , who was born in Port Alberni, British Columbia, and grew up in Surrey, on the boarder of Vancouver. “To have that many shots and have the game go the way it did, and have my first shutout here in the building I grew up in, it was definitely a special moment.”The Canucks pulled their goalie in the final minute and mounted a frantic attack. Brossoit faced a barrage of shots.“You never want that kind of chaos but, at the end of the game, for it to go our way, the chaos is fine Tage Thompson Jersey Womens ,” he said.Brossoit improved his record this year to 8-1-1. He has 38 NHL games split between Winnipeg and Edmonton. The game against Vancouver — his first start against the Canucks — was his fourth start this month.“It’s the most consistent amount of starts I’ve gotten in my NHL career,” said the 25-year-old, who had 25 family and friends at the game. “I appreciate the vote of confidence to have me in consistently. It’s easier to prepare.”Head coach Paul Maurice offered some humor while praising Brossoit, who joined Winnipeg this year as a free agent.“Our goalie was our best player,” said Maurice. “He’s earned every start that he’s got.“He just hasn’t given us a reason ever not to start him. As good as he is in the games, he’s equally good in practice, pushing to get better all the time. If he was on a longer term deal I’d talk more nice things about him, but we’ve got to sign him again this year so he’s just all right.”Scheifele scored his 22nd of the season from the left face-off dot on a give-and-go play with defenseman Dustin Byfuglien.The Jets have won 11 of their last 13 games. The victory was Winnipeg’s eighth straight victory over the Canucks.The Canucks lost in regulation for just the second time in nine games (6-2-1).“It’s been a couple of games we’ve lost like that,” said forward Antoine Roussel. “It’s frustrating.“You have to come up on top and learn from those games sometimes. You can’t be losing in the last two minutes of a game. We battle all the way and crack at the end. It hurts.”Vancouver goaltender Jacob Markstrom stopped 22 shots.Vancouver coach Travis Green said the game was “something to hang your hat on” as the Canucks held their ground against the Western Conference-leading Jets.“Our team played great tonight Dalton Prout Jersey Womens ,” Green said. “One of our better games of the year.“The guys wanted to win bad tonight and they played like it. We’ll be fine if we keep playing like that.”Brossoit showed his quickness in the first period, sticking out a pad to stop a wrist shot by Josh Leivo, and then he blocked Elias Pettersson’s attempt on the rebound.Midway through the second period, with Vancouver pressing on a power play, Brossoit dragged his leg in front of Alexander Edler’s shot from the point through traffic.Markstrom wasn’t as busy, but still needed to be sharp. With just 51 seconds left in the first period he slid across his net to block a shot by Scheifele on a Jets power play.There were loud boos in the third period when Winnipeg defenseman Ben Chairot hit Vancouver’s Tyler Motte with what looked like a high stick. No penalty was called on the play.NOTES: Edler played his 782nd game to surpass Harold Snepts for the most by a Canucks defenseman. .. Second-period shots were 17-7 in favor of Vancouver. . Early in the first period, Byfuglien blasted a slap shot that hit forward Blake Wheeler in the midsection. Wheeler needed help getting to the bench and headed to the dressing room. He returned later in the period. .. Winnipeg center Andrew Copp missed his 10th straight game with an upper-body injury but is expected to return after the Christmas break.UP NEXTJets: Home against Calgary on Thursday.Canucks: At Edmonton on Thursday.
