CALGARY – Steven Stamkos is the most prolific goal scorer in the NHL today. Authentic Bobby Hull Jersey . He has 185 goals over the last four seasons (294 games). Nobody has scored more during that stretch. In fact, its not even close as Alexander Ovechkin is second with 152 goals. But there is one situation in which the Tampa Bay Lightning forward has failed to put the puck in the net on a regular basis: the shootout. Stamkos has converted on just five of 27 career chances (18.5%). "Its something that, a lot of the time, is a mental thing," Stamkos explained. "When things dont go your way, you have negative thoughts heading into your next shot so its definitely something Im aware of and would love to obviously get better at." Stamkos missed on both his attempts last season and has found the back of the net just once in his last 13 attempts overall. "You skate toward the net in a game and theres a guy chasing you and you dont think about it and you score and you say, Why cant I do that in a shootout? Well, in a shootout everyones eyes are on you. The games on the line. You have more time to think. Almost too much time to think so for me its more of a mental thing and hopefully being a little more successful early on in the season will allow me to get some confidence." In the regular season, a missed shootout attempt may lead to a missed bonus point in this era of three-point games. But at the Olympics, a missed shootout attempt may lead to elimination. Dominik Hasek, for example, stopped all five Canadian shooters during the 1998 Olympic semi-finals in Nagano, allowing the Czech Republic to advance on the strength of Robert Reichels goal. That happened before the NHL implemented extra shots as a tie-breaking method. Now the Canadian staff will have a fairly good idea of who is up to the job should a shootout be required. And head coach Mike Babcock will have a number of solid options. Among the 47 players invited to this weeks orientation camp, here are the top shootout performers: Jonathan Toews - 49% (27/55) Sidney Crosby - 43% (23/54)James Neal - 41% (14/34)Chris Kunitz - 41% (13/32)Claude Giroux - 41% (12/29)Rick Nash - 39% (29/74)Jordan Eberle - 39% (9/23)Ryan Getzlaf - 38% (21/55)Andrew Ladd - 38% (6/16)Logan Couture - 37% (7/19) Stamkos ranks 20th on the list and based on that, Babcock may choose to leave him out of any shootout. NHL on TSN analysts Dave Reid and Mike Johnson debated who should get the call for Canada in an Olympic shootout during a recent episode of Thats Hockey. Reid included Stamkos on his list despite his poor track record arguing that you simply cant leave the NHLs top goal scorer on the bench in that situation. Wayne Gretzky, of course, was left off the shootout roster in Nagano, which led to plenty of questions back home. So if Babcock did call on him, would Stamkos be eager for the chance? "Yeah, everyone wants to be a hero," he said. "Theres obviously a lot of pressure, but you have to kind of run with it and hopefully you dont have to be put in that situation, because youve won the game before that, but its definitely something everyone would want to do." The 23-year-old doesnt see an easy fix when it comes to this mental block. "Its just something you have to overcome so it obviously doesnt happen overnight." Authentic Oliver Ekman-Larsson Jersey . Trailing by a goal after 20 minutes of play, Joe Pavelski responded with three goals and an assist as the Sharks snapped a two-game losing skid with a 5-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Authentic Thomas Steen Jersey . The Gatineau Olympiques head coach will lead Canada in its quest to end its gold medal drought at the 2015 world junior hockey championship held in Montreal and Toronto at the end of this year. http://www.cheapcoyotesjerseysauthentic.com/ .com) - The Chicago Cubs reportedly signed recently-acquired outfielder Dexter Fowler to a one-year contract on Friday, avoiding arbitration.Dallas Stars 4 Winnipeg Jets 1 – It was the third straight loss for the Jets after starting the season 2-0. The Jets fell behind 3-0 after one period and despite playing pretty well in the final 40 minutes, could not find enough goals to get themselves back in the game. Acquired on July 4, Tyler Seguin recorded the first four-point game of his career (two goals, two assists) to lead the way for the Stars, while Jamie Benn added a goal and two assists. Alex Chiasson opened the scoring for Dallas. The Jets got better as the game went on and in the third period outshot the Stars 20-7 but could only get one by Dan Ellis who came in to replace Kari Lehtonen who left with a lower body injury. Final shots were 44-31 in favour of the Jets. The Jets total was a season high. Blake Wheeler (with his first of the year) on a third period power play scored the lone Jets goal on a rebound goal off a Dustin Byfuglien shot. Toby Enstrom also drew an assist, giving him a point in every game this season. The Jets have scored a power play goal in every game this season. As for the penalty kill, after going 10-for-10 the last two games, the Stars scored two with the man advantage. Three times in the game the Jets took themselves off the power play with penalties. Byfuglien took some stitches above the left eye in the first period after he was clipped by the stick of Ryan Garbutt. The officials nailed Valeri Nichushkin with the penalty, but it was Garbutts stick that did the damage. Cheap Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys. With the score 4-0 the Jets seemed to take the "lets just go play" attitude. Evander Kane made mention of that post-game, feeling they were focusing too much on Xs and Os, were tentative and over-thinking everything. Question now is can they pick up Sunday against New Jersey where they left off against Dallas (TSN Jets, TSN 1290)? Sunday is game two of a six-game homestand for the Jets. This game was the first time all year the Jets outshot the opposition. The 11 shots in the first period was also a season opening period high. The other area of improvement was in face-offs. Led by Bryan Little winning 18 of 24 for a 75 per cent success rate, the Jets ended the night at 62 per cent. Kane and Byfuglien each had seven shots on goal. "Mistakes in the first ended up in our net," said head coach Claude Noel. "They are correctable mistakes, positional breakdowns. But we played with a lot more energy. Whether it was changing of lines, it brought us more speed. We were back to the way we played last year. We need to build off the positives. We were better in face-offs, better with battles, better with urgency." Kane spent a lot of time on the line with Little and Wheeler, with Andrew Ladd on the left side with Mark Scheifele and Michael Frolik, although by the end of the night the combinations were numerous.
