DALLAS (AP) — Ryan Suter joked that he was trying to bank the puck off a Dallas defenseman and into the net.Suter scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and had two assists as the Minnesota Wild beat the Stars 3-1 on Friday night.Dallas goalie Ben Bishop had stopped a shot by Eric Staal Troy Brouwer Jersey Womens , but the puck went into the left corner. Suter sent the puck back in front, and it ricocheted in off the Stars’ Esa Lindell with 7:06 left to put the Wild up 2-1.“I was just trying to get it to the net,” Suter said as he got more serious about the description.Devan Dubnyk made 33 saves — including 24 in the second period — for Minnesota in a game that was scoreless through 40 minutes.“In the second period, if it wasn’t for (Dubnyk), they could have had five,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I was really impressed.”The Stars finally broke through 36 seconds into the third period, when Jason Spezza scored his first of the season, tipping in Miro Heiskanen’s shot from the left point.Minnesota took over after that, finishing with a 15-4 edge on shots in the third.“We go up 1-nothing and our mentality’s got to be step on their throats,” Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. “I think we get result-oriented http://www.officialavalanche.com/authentic-adidas-sven-andrighetto-jersey , and we start managing, looking at the clock instead of playing through the game.”First, Matt Dumba put a loose rebound past Bishop at 9:37 of the third to tie the score.After Suter’s goal, Zach Parise scored into an empty net with 1 minute left.“We got that feeling, especially after the second goal, to shut down,” Boudreau said. “We didn’t give them an opportunity. … We didn’t want to try to take the foot off the gas, and I don’t think we did in the last 10 minutes.”Bishop also finished with 33 saves.Spezza lamented his team’s late-game performance.“Credit to their goalie, but it’s our job to make life as difficult as possible for him,” he said. “We didn’t play good for an 8- to 10-minute time and we lose a game because of it.”The Stars have scored only two goals in losing their last three games after a 3-1 start.In the closely played first period http://www.officialcanadiensprostore.com/authentic-adidas-phillip-danault-jersey , Dallas didn’t have a shot on goal until Spezza put the puck on Dubnyk at 11:21. Bishop stopped the period’s best scoring chance when he denied Marcus Foligno on a short breakaway from the left faceoff circle at 13:38.The second period was freewheeling, with the Stars outshooting the Wild 24-13 but they couldn’t beat Dubnyk. His best stop was on Blake Comeau on a 2-on-1 late in the period.“When you’re seeing pucks well,” Dubnyk said, “able to read off our guys really well, because they work hard for me in front, that allows me to sit and wait and you’re not going down with the puck.”NOTES: Dumba tied Jason Zucker for the Wild’s team lead with his third goal. Parise leads the team with eight points (two goals, six assists). . Minnesota recalled F Matt Read from Iowa of the AHL and immediately put him on the top line. Read replaced Matt Hendricks, who is expected to miss 2 to 3 weeks because of a left leg injury that occurred in the first period on Tuesday. … Stars RW Alexander Radulov had been expected to play despite what was described as a “minor issue” in the third period of their game on Tuesday. RW Valeri Nichushkin (lower-body injury) missed his second straight game.UP NEXTWild: Return home to host Tampa Bay on Saturday in the Wild’s second road-home back-to-back games in six days.Stars: Host Los Angeles on Tuesday in the second game of a three-game homestand. PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Montreal Canadiens used a systematic approach to frustrate and shut down the Pittsburgh Penguins‘ star-studded attack.Paul Byron scored two goals and added an assist, leading the Canadiens to a 5-1 victory over the Penguins on Saturday night.“Our plan was just to skate and forecheck relentlessly,” Byron said. “When you give (the Penguins) space to skate Womens Craig Smith Jersey , they’re going to make plays all night. But when you close lanes, I think that makes it hard for them.”The Canadiens opened the season with three of four possible points in two road games against Toronto and Pittsburgh. Byron contributed Saturday with his first multi-goal game since scoring a hat trick last December against Detroit.Brendan Gallagher, Joel Armia and Charles Hudon also scored for the Canadiens, who snapped a five-game losing streak against Pittsburgh. It was Montreal’s first win against Pittsburgh since Al Montoya’s 36-save shutout Oct. 18, 2016.Carey Price made 21 saves on Saturday for his first win against Pittsburgh since Oct. 13, 2015. Price had plenty of help as the Canadiens blocked 22 shots, one more than he faced.“It’s definitely huge to get those blocks,” Price said. “A couple of them, especially in the first period, could’ve been a game-changer.”Riley Sheahan scored for Pittsburgh Filip Forsberg Jersey , which lamented its puck management during a wild season-opening 7-6 overtime win against Washington on Thursday.Kris Letang, a Montreal native, had an assist and passed Hall of Famer Paul Coffey for most points in team history by a defenseman with 441. Matt Murray, who has allowed 11 goals in two games, made 24 saves in the loss.“I think we’re a team right now that just wants to score instead of playing the game the right way and that means playing on both sides of the puck,” Penguins’ coach Mike Sullivan said. “Right now, we’re not even close to where we need to be. I know we have a talented group and I know we can score. Until we learn how to play defense and become harder to play against, we’re not going to control outcomes.”Last season, Pittsburgh scored five goals in each of its three games against Montreal. The Canadiens returned the favor with a five-goal outburst Saturday. The teams will meet again next Saturday in Montreal.“It’s obviously concerning,” Sullivan said. “You don’t ever want to get outworked. I thought they played harder and smarter. They were hard to play against.”Gallagher scored the game’s first goal midway through the opening period. Tomas Tatar’s initial shot off the rush hit Penguins’ defenseman Olli Maatta and bounced to Gallagher Juuse Saros Jersey , who converted the 2-on-1.Byron’s breakaway goal gave the Canadiens a 2-0 lead later in the period. He beat Maatta at the blue line and tucked a backhand-forehand deke between Murray’s outstretched pad and the post.Byron scored his second goal just 3:43 into the second period. Max Domi chipped the puck from behind the goal to Byron, who flipped a shot past Murray.Byron had the primary assist on a short-handed goal later in the period to make it a 4-0 game. Armia finished the 2-on-1 pass from Byron with a backhand chip behind Murray.“If they would’ve scored a power-play goal, it would’ve made it 3-1 and could’ve made it a completely different game,” Byron said. “To get that fourth one, and take a little bit of wind out of the crowd, certainly helped us.”The Canadiens shut it down in the third period and outshot Pittsburgh 14-3. Hudon scored on a wraparound midway through the period.“(Pittsburgh) is a potent offensive team and we respected their offense,” Canadiens’ coach Claude Julien said. “For us to close the game was important because we took the game to them.”NOTES: The Canadiens scratched 35-year-old center Tomas Plekanec and 30-year-old defenseman Karl Alzner for the second straight game. Alzner played 622 consecutive games before he was scratched Wednesday against Toronto. . D Juuso Riikola, C Derek Grant and D Chad Ruhwedel were all scratched for Pittsburgh.UP NEXTCanadiens: Host Los Angeles on Thursday in their home opener.Penguins: Welcome Vegas on Thursday.
