| GLENDALE Jay Beagle Jersey Womens , Ariz. (AP) out via text message on his way to Gila River Arena that he was starting in net Tuesday night. Hours later, he finished his day on a high note.Alex Goligoski scored the decisive goal in the fifth round of a shootout and Hill ended the game with a save on high-scoring center Tyler Toffoli, earning his first NHL win for the Arizona Coyotes in their 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.”It’s exhilarating. It’s a dream you have every day growing up as a child,” Hill said. ”To come here and do it is great. Now I want more.”Arizona squandered a 3-0 lead as Jeff Carter scored two third-period goals for the Kings to send the game to overtime. But the last-place Coyotes rebounded and improved to 11-3-2 in their last 16 games. They climbed out of the NHL cellar with 57 points, one more than Buffalo.Los Angeles, third in the Pacific Division, is one point behind second-place San Jose with 12 games remaining.The Kings had what was first ruled the game-winning goal 25 seconds into overtime overturned on goaltender interference after a video review.”If there was contact I thought it was induced from their player riding Drew (Doughty) into the goalie. That was my take on it, but I don’t know what I’m talking about because I’m still confused on the whole issue,” Kings coach John Stevens said. ”It’s a guessing game for me, but that’s the call they made and we still had an opportunity in overtime and we didn’t take advantage of it.”Carter tied it at 3 with 2:18 to play in the third, deflecting Doughty’s shot past Hill, who was pressed into service with Arizona’s top two goaltenders unavailable.The 21-year-old Hill stopped 34 shots and Nick Cousins had a goal and an assist for the Coyotes. Arizona was forced to turn to Hill in net, with No. 1 goalie Antti Raanta missing his fifth straight game due to a lower-body injury and backup Darcy Kuemper unable to start because of an illness.Kuemper was available as the backup but didn’t face the team that traded him to Arizona on Feb. 21.Hill, an emergency call-up from the minors last Tuesday, had not played since a loss at the New York Rangers on Oct. 26. Arizona was also without coach Rick Tocchet, who missed his first game while away on a leave of absence due to a family matter.Clayton Keller and Christian Dvorak added goals for the Coyotes.”We had the good start and all the way through really we played a good game Curtis McKenzie Jersey Womens ,” Goligoski said. ”You have to figure out a way to get it there in OT or shootout and we were able to do it.”Tanner Pearson scored for Los Angeles, and Jack Campbell made 26 saves in his second start of the season. The Kings are 2-2-1 in their last five games.The Kings pulled to 3-2 at 12:03 of the third with Carter’s power-play goal when the center redirected Doughty’s shot past Hill.Keller opened the scoring at 14:52 of the first, shooting the puck between Campbell’s legs from the side of the net off a pass from Derek Stepan. Keller picked up his team-leading 19th goal of the season and Stepan got his team-high 32nd assist.Arizona made it 2-0 when Cousins’ shot glanced off the heel of Doughty’s skate, and the puck trickled over the goal line despite Campbell’s efforts to corral it. Cousins was credited with his 11th goal.Hill stopped Dustin Brown’s attempt with the Kings on a power play in the final seconds of the first.”He still has some work to do but it is great that he got his first win. I liked how he handled himself in the net,” Coyotes assistant coach John MacLean said.The Coyotes made it 3-0 at 10:13 of the second when Cousins collected a turnover, and two passes later, Dvorak converted his 14th goal of the season. The Kings responded 27 seconds later with Pearson’s wrister past Hill.NOTES: Hill became the second-youngest goaltender in franchise history to earn a win. … Keller became the third Coyotes rookie to reach 50 points, joining Max Domi in 2015-16 and Peter Mueller in 2007-08. … Doughty has played in 316 consecutive games, 14 behind Anze Kopitar’s team record. … Kings C Tobias Rieder, traded for Kuemper, faced his former team for the first time.UP NEXTKings: Host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.Coyotes: Host the Nashville Predators on Thursday.— NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Goaltender Pekka Rinne wound up in a most unfamiliar spot in two of the most important games of his life.On the bench having been chased not once, but twice.In the Stanley Cup Final.Now Rinne is back in the postseason once again, and the 6-foot-5 Finn is a big reason why the Nashville Predators won the Presidents’ Trophy with the most points during the regular season. As Rinne prepares for Game 1 on Thursday night against Colorado, he insists last year’s Final provides not so much motivation as experience to use to his advantage along with so many good memories from that thrilling playoff run.”It’s a different year, obviously different situation Nick Holden Jersey Womens , little bit of a different team,” Rinne said. ”But I’m sure you’ll look back at last year’s run, I think there’s a lot of things we can take, a lot of positives all the way through the finals and even after the finals. I think it was an unbelievable experience. I think you try to use that to your advantage.”Rinne carried last-seeded Nashville all the way to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup Final by going 12-4 with a .945 save percentage, ranking among the best postseasons by a goalie.Then came the Final.In Game 2 against Pittsburgh , Rinne was pulled by coach Peter Laviolette after Nashville gave up three goals in the first 3:18 of the third period of a 4-1 loss. Game 4 was even worse as Rinne gave up three goals on nine shots , lasting only the first period before being replaced by Juuse Saros again. The Predators lost in six games.Laviolette believes Rinne took the bulk of the blame for those losses when the Predators could have played better in front of their goalie. He also noticed what Rinne did to improve himself.”Let’s be honest,” Laviolette said. ”He’s been the backbone of this franchise. He was really good down the stretch in order to get us in the playoffs last year, and when the playoffs came, he was on point. And that was a big part of it. It was more for me just a continuation. I think there’s always changes. I think Pekka does a terrific job of trying to watch, trying to learn, trying to understand the game better, trying to work at his craft.”Washington coach Barry Trotz has seen how driven Rinne is. He wants to stop every puck – even in practice.”He’s extremely competitive and extremely proud, that he plays hard on every puck,” Trotz said of his former goalie. ”It doesn’t matter how tired he is. … He plays every puck to exhaustion. And to me that’s allowed him to stay sharp mentally, and I think it’s allowed him to stay sharp physically because he’s 35 and he still is as quick and explosive as he’s ever been.”Rinne started working early to prepare for this season. He has worked on his stance in and around the net with Predators goaltender coach Ben Vanderklok to tighten his stance. Planting his skates inside the post rather than outside allows Rinne to be faster tracking a puck Paul Stastny Jersey Womens , able to push off a post to slide quickly to the other post.Not a big change for a goalie who turned 35 last November.”It’s hard to do any drastic changes at this point of your career,” Rinne said.Rinne has rebounded from losing the Final with a season that finally might win him the Vezina Trophy he missed three other times.The goalie, who won his 300th career game during the season, posted a career-high eight shutouts with the second-best save percentage of his career at .927. He finished third in the NHL with 42 wins and fifth in goals-against average (2.31). Down the stretch, Rinne was at his best going 23-5-1 with five of those shutouts.”He was the best goalie of the year,” Colorado forward Mikko Rantanen said.Rinne also should be rested for the postseason having played only 59 games, two fewer than last season and his fewest in an injury-free season since 2009-10 when playing 58 games. Laviolette stuck to a plan trying to ensure Rinne would be as fresh as possible for the playoffs while developing Saros.As winners of the Presidents’ Trophy, the Predators will have home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs. Smashville is where Rinne went 25-6-2 this season and an impressive 9-2 last postseason, which provides a certain sense of comfort.”When you think about it, if you take care of all the home games, you win the Stanley Cup so I mean that’s huge,” Rinne said.—AP Hockey Writer Stephen Whyno and AP Sports Writer Pat Graham contributed to this report.— |
