Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork. Kyle Korver Cavaliers Jersey .com) - Nikita Kucherovs marker with 30.3 seconds left in regulation sent Tampa Bay past Carolina, 2-1, on Thursday. Kucherovs second goal of the contest was a fluke deflection. He appeared to want to pass across from the left circle, but the puck instead changed direction off the skate of Hurricanes defenseman Ron Hainsey in the slot and slid over the goal line. Evgeni Nabokov turned away 29 pucks and picked up his first assist of the season for the Lightning, who had lost two in a row. It was nice to see him get rewarded, Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said of Nabokov. He played great and gave us a chance to win. Justin Faulk tallied and Cam Ward made 25 saves for the Hurricanes, who suffered their fourth straight defeat and third by one goal. We shouldve capitalized on more than just the on goal, said Ward. The Bolts picked up the games first goal on a power play at the 6:35 mark of the third on another fluke occurrence. Anton Stralman dumped the puck in from the neutral zone, and instead of the puck curling from the right-wing boards around behind Carolinas net, it kicked out into the slot. Kucherov was a step ahead of three Hurricanes players and shot the disc into an empty net. Faulk tied things inside of eight minutes remaining, as his floater from the right point caromed off the stick of Tampas Victor Hedman in front and eluded Nabokov.

WINNIPEG -- Bobby Ryan didnt look out of place on Ottawas top line, but he knows chemistry takes time. Ryan scored the winner Sunday as the Senators downed the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 in NHL pre-season action, while newly minted captain Jason Spezza had an assist and left-winger Milan Michalek scored and added an assist. "I think there was a few opportunities for us to do things differently, and thats just something that you learn about each other," said Ryan, who was acquired in an off-season trade with the Anaheim Ducks. "I know that there were a couple passes that Spezz meant for me that I thought were for Milan and they just kind of were a foot or two away and thats a matter of me trying to read off him a little better." Buddy Robinson scored Ottawas first goal at 7:58 of the opening period and Ryan added his 26 seconds into the second to give Ottawa a 2-0 lead. Sens defenceman Erik Karlsson had a pair of assists and Matt Halischuk scored Winnipegs lone goal. Karlsson liked what he saw of the Ryan-Spezza-Michalek line. "Its the first game, you know everybodys trying to feel it out a bit," Karlsson said. "Overall, I think they looked pretty good." Karlssons shot from the point 65 seconds into the thiird period was redirected by Michalek past goalie Michael Hutchinson to make it 3-1. George Hill Cavaliers Jersey. Hutchinson made 29 saves.

Winnipeg lost its first exhibition game Saturday night in a 4-3 shootout against Washington in Belleville, Ont. The Jets experimented to start the game and didnt ice their usual top-line trio of Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler. Little and Wheeler skated with newcomer Michael Frolik, acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks for third- and fifth-round picks in this years draft. Ladd, however, rejoined his linemates late in the opening period. "We started with Frolik and didnt really get much going," Little said. "And even when Laddie came and played with us, we kind of struggled a bit still. "Were still trying to work out the kinks. We havent played a game in five months or so, so were just trying to shake the rust off." The Jets were sitting a number of their players who had suited up in Belleville, including forwards Evander Kane, Devin Setoguchi and Mark Scheifele. ' ' '
