SUNRISE [url=http://www.coyotesproshop.com/authentic-alex-galchenyuk-jersey]Adidas Alex Galchenyuk Jersey[/url] , Fla. (AP) Jonathan Quick got back on the winning track – at the Florida Panthers’ expense.Quick made 35 saves, Anze Kopitar scored his 22nd goal and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Panthers 3-1 on Friday night for their third straight victory.Quick was 1-7 in his previous eight starts and had given up five goals in each of his past two.”I thought he was a calming force for us back there,” Kings coach John Stevens said. ”He just looked like he was really solid and comfortable in the net, and I think he gave us a lot of confidence by him playing that way.”For his part, Quick wasn’t attaching any special significance to his performance.”Just another game. We were able to win it,” Quick said. ”Got two points.”Jonny Brodzinski scored the go-ahead goal, and Nick Shore also connected for the Kings. Derek Forbort had three assists.Aaron Ekblad scored for the Panthers, and Harri Sateri made 23 saves. They had won four in a row.”We were right there and made a couple mistakes,” Sateri said. ”They played a good game. They were hard to play against. You have to give them credit, too.”With James Reimer now healthy and Roberto Luongo starting to practice, the Panthers have some decisions to make in goal.”Harri’s done a heck of a job for us but we’ve got some goalies that are healthy, and we’ve got to get them back in action, too,” Panther coach Bob Boughner said.Kopitar stretched the Kings’ lead to 3-1 just 25 seconds into the third. Kopitar took a pass from Alex Iafallo in the low slot and redirected the puck past Sateri.Brodzinski put the Kings ahead 2-1 when he backhanded a shot that bounced off the Panthers’ Denis Malgin and past Sateri with 3:57 left in the second.With 4:26 left in the third [url=http://www.coyotesproshop.com/authentic-barrett-hayton-jersey]Adidas Barrett Hayton Jersey[/url] , Kings center Trevor Lewis was driven into the boards by Jared McCann. Lewis lay motionless on the ice for a minute or so. He later skated off the ice and to the locker room with the assistance of the trainer.”I think he’s going to be fine, but not sure. Kind of a scary-looking play there, but hopefully he’s fine,” Stevens said.The Kings tied it at 1 on Shore’s goal. Shore took a backhanded pass from Andy Andreoff in the left circle, worked the puck into the slot, and fired a shot over Sateri’s glove at 3:09 of the second period.Shore was a healthy scratch the past two games.”Anytime you’re out of the lineup, you’re kind of just waiting to get back,” Shore said. ”All you can do is be ready for a chance. It’s nice to go out there and get two points tonight.”Ekblad’s power-play goal gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead. Ekblad grabbed a rebound that came off the end boards at the left side of the crease and put the puck over Quick’s shoulder with 8:28 left in the first period.Notes: Kings D Alec Martinez returned after missing two games with a lower-body injury. … The Kings played the first game of a seven-game trip. … The Panthers sent rookie goalie Samuel Montembeault, to Springfield of the AHL on Thursday to make room for the return of James Reimer. Luongo practiced Thursday for the first time since he suffered a groin injury on Dec. 4 against the New York Islanders.UP NEXTKings: At Tampa Bay on Saturday night.Panthers: At Edmonton on Monday night. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Missing a few players due to injuries and an illness, the Nashville Predators reached to the minors for some help. It paid off with a win.Eeli Tolvanen scored his first NHL goal and added an assist to lead Nashville to a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night.Tolvanen, the 30th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, got his first goal 3 1/2 minutes into the game. On the left half wall, Smith sent a backhand pass to Tolvanen alone in the low slot [url=http://www.coyotesproshop.com/authentic-michael-grabner-jersey]Adidas Michael Grabner Jersey[/url] , where he sent a backhand over Ward’s glove to push Nashville’s lead to 2-0.“That’s a goal I’m going to remember my whole life,” Tolvanen said. “It was a great pass. I was kind of alone with the goalie and I tried a backhand and it went in.”Tolvanen was recalled from Milwaukee of the AHL earlier Saturday after Filip Forsberg, the team’s leading goal scorer, was placed on Injured Reserve with an upper-body injury that will sideline the Swede for 4 to 6 weeks.Nashville was already without forwards Viktor Arvidsson and Kyle Turris and defenseman P.K. Subban, who all are on IR. Center Nick Bonino missed Saturday’s game with illness. Anthony Richard was also recalled Saturday and arrived at the arena late in the afternoon in time to make his NHL debut.“It’s different when you lose one,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “When it was just (Arvidsson), it was. ‘Alright we’ll juggle it up a little bit,’ but I still think that there was a real belief that we were going to be successful tonight. Opportunity for guys like Eeli, like (Anthony) Richard coming up here. I thought he played a good game.”Craig Smith, Kevin Fiala and Ryan Johansen also each had a goal and an assist, and Austin Watson added an empty-netter for the Predators. Pekka Rinne stopped 19 shots.Nashville was motivated after a 3-0 loss to Arizona on Thursday night.“We had a tough practice yesterday, everybody was pretty angry,” Fiala said. “Today we (brought) it to the game and everyone was still (upset) about the last game and it was a great response.”Brandon Saad and Artem Anisimov scored for Chicago, which has lost three straight. Cam Ward finished with 24 saves.Johansen’s power-play goal at 4:11 of the first made it 3-0. Fiala attempted a wraparound on the right post but the puck sailed wide to Johansen positioned on the left post and he scored his fifth of the season.“We haven’t started well lately and we’re trying to figure out a way to correct that and it’s just not happened [url=http://www.coyotesproshop.com/authentic-marian-hossa-jersey]Adidas Marian Hossa Jersey[/url] ,” Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. “It’s frustrating. We’ve got to be better, we know that. Try and keep cracking down on all the little details, that’s all we can do.”On a rare 7-minute power play for the Predators, including two full minutes of a 5-on-3, the teams traded goals, with Saad scoring short-handed with 7:40 left and Smith on the power play with 6:25 remaining to make it 4-1.“We got energy from the penalty kill,” Chicago coach Jeremy Colliton said. “It seemed like we got the desperation and the urgency that we needed when we were in that spot.”The lengthy man-advantage was a result of Duncan Keith being assessed 29 minutes in penalties, including a game misconduct, at 7:18 after taking exception to a check that Predators forward Miikka Salomaki delivered to him on the right boards.Anisimov scored the only goal of a relatively quiet second period. Brandon Manning drew three Predators to him in the left circle before firing a pass to an unchecked Anisimov in the slot, where he beat Rinne on the glove side to pull Chicago within two.Watson added his empty-netter with 2:54 remaining in the third.Fiala scored the game’s first goal at 2:11 of the opening period. From the left point, Matt Irwin threw the puck into traffic in front of the Chicago net. In the low slot, Fiala grabbed the puck, spun around and beat Ward low on the stick side.NOTES: Laviolette earned his 200th regular season victory with Nashville. … Predators C Anthony Richard made his NHL debut. … Nashville is 6-2-0 against fellow Central Division teams this season. … Chicago is 2-12-1 when giving up the first goal. .. Anisimov has scored in consecutive games for the first time this season.UP NEXTBlackhawks: Host Calgary on Sunday.Predators: Host Buffalo on Monday.
