ST. New Jersey Devils Jerseys . CATHARINES, Ont. - Connor McDavid won dinner from Erie Otters teammate Dylan Strome, Bobby Orr won $100 from Don Cherry and Travis Konecny may have earned some better draft considerations from his impressive showing at the CHL top prospects game.Konecny scored two goals and forced the turnover that led to another. Konecny of the Ontario Hockey Leagues Ottawa 67s skated with Connor McDavid and Timo Meier, and that line was a huge reason why Team Orr beat Team Cherry 6-0 at Meridian Centre on Thursday night.Its definitely not hard playing with those two guys, Konecny said. They make it easy for everyone around them, and youve just got to wait and when the puck hits your stick you just put it on the net.Ranked 26th among North American skaters on NHL Central Scoutings midterm list, Konecny was the best in off-ice testing Wednesday and then stood out again in the game playing with and against his peers. He said he wasnt out to prove anything.I think every player in their draft year wants to prove to everyone that they can be the best they can be, the London, Ont., native said. I try not to look at the rankings and Im just going to do what I can do get a team to like me and just hope I can get as high as I can.Konecny scored on a semi-breakaway, beating Owen Sound goaltender Michael McNiven high glove side and then on a give-and-go with Meier. He had the big hit that helped get McDavid the puck on Meiers goal, the second of the night for Team Orr.Defenceman Ryan Pilon and forwards Nathan Noel and Paul Bittner scored for the team coached by Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr. Goaltenders Nick McBride of the Western Hockey Leagues Prince Albert Raiders and Liam Herbst of the 67s combined for the shutout.Strome had a strong game for Team Cherry and was that sides player of the game. McDavid won the side bet of dinner, and most importantly to Strome, the game.Id much rather win the game and not get that award, Strome said. Id much rather be hoisting that trophy right now than getting whatever prize I got.Samuel Montembeault of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey Leagues Blainville-Boisbriand Armada stopped 15-of-17 shots he faced, and McNiven made eight saves.McDavid showed off flashes of the speed and skill that will make him the top pick in Junes NHL draft. He finished with one assist.It went all right, McDavid said. Obviously the team did very well and its nice to get the win. Personally I thought it was all right. I had a couple chances that I wish I couldve buried, but it really doesnt matter.Konecny said the little things McDavid did to open up ice for him and Meier shouldnt go unnoticed. One thing Cherry noticed was McDavid taking his foot off the gas when the game was a blowout.I saw where he couldve taken some shots — showing mercy to us, Cherry said. I really believe when he got up 4-0 that he let up. Im not saying hes Bobby Orr, but Bobby used to do the same thing. When wed be up 5-1 or something like that, you could see him back off. McDavid looked pretty good.With NHL arenas dark for the first night of the all-star break, the CHL top prospects game took centre stage in the hockey world. Over 200 scouts from all 30 NHL teams were in attendance to see 40 of the best draft-eligible prospects playing major junior hockey.Theres people watching every game, so you just got to block it out as much as you can, Strome said. Obviously there was a big pile of people in the corner there, but other than that I just tried to focus on the game.Prime Minister Stephen Harper was also in the building. Harper spoke to players before the game and tweeted that he got an autographed jersey from McDavid, who signed it on Orrs back.It was McDavids first time meeting Harper, and he said it was awesome to be able to sign a jersey for the Prime Minister.Notes — There was a moment of silence before the game to honour the memory of RCMP Constable David Wynn. ...

CNN and Gazzetta dello Sport reporter Tancredi Palmeri broke the news via Twitter Tuesday afternoon. Italian Football Association President Giancarlo Abete has also resigned, according to Palmeri.MIAMI -- If Tom Koehler has figured out why he and the Miami Marlins are so tough to beat at home, hes not saying. Koehler outpitched Josh Beckett on Friday night, and the Marlins extended their home winning streak to seven games with a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I just know weve got a good thing going right now," Koehler said. "I dont want to jinx it by saying anything else." The Marlins 13-4 home record is the best in the majors, while their 2-10 road mark is the worst. Theyve outscored opponents 29-10 in the first four games of this homestand. Koehler is 0-2 on the road, but he has won all three of his starts in Miami, where his ERA is 0.90. He limited the Dodgers to three hits in seven scoreless innings. "Its a big team win," he said. "Its good to keep the momentum on our side while were playing at home." Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered on his 29th birthday for the Marlins, who climbed above .500. Garrett Jones had three doubles, scored and drove in a run. Giancarlo Stanton drove in a run with a two-out infield single and leads the NL with 32nd RBIs. That was plenty of support for the surprising Koehler, who began the year with a career record of 5-11, made the rotation as a fifth starter and now has an ERA of 2.41. "He pitched excellent," manager Mike Redmond said. "He was up in the zone a few times and got behind a few hitters, but he seemed to bounce back and did a great job." Beckett (0-1) struck out eight but gave up four runs in 6 2-3 innings. He fell to 0-6 in his past 13 starts and remained winless since the end of the 2012 season, even though his ERA this year is 3.14. Is the victory drought frustrating? "If youve got an arbitration case, yeah," Beckett said. "But Im past that point. I want the team to get the victory. I dont care who gets the win. For me, if the team wins, Im happy." The Dodgers arrived in Miami at 6:30 a.m. after playing for more than 8 hours Thursday at Minnesota to earn their first doubleheader sweep in 122 years, and they looked travel-logged while falling behind 6-0. Ryane Clowe Jersey. "I watched both those games," said Beckett, who flew to Miami a day ahead of his teammates. "I was pretty much the only guy that got any sleep last night. The guys played really hard behind me. It wasnt a perfect situation for them." Saltalamacchia hit his sixth homer in the second inning against Beckett, his former battery mate when both played for the Boston Red Sox. "Obviously, Ive seen Josh a little bit," Saltalamacchia said. "He looked good. I remember him throwing a lot more fastballs when I caught him. Tonight he was mixing his curve in a lot, and it made hitters look off balance." Jones hit a two-out RBI double that deflected off the glove of a retreating Yasiel Puig in right field to make it 2-0 in the fourth. The Marlins scored four times with two out in the seventh, with the first run scoring on a single by Reed Johnson, his fifth pinch hit this season. Christian Yelich followed with an RBI triple, and Stanton and Casey McGehee hit RBI singles. The game was Becketts second against the Marlins, who made him the No. 2 overall pick in the 1999 amateur draft. Los Angeles Dee Gordon had three hits, scored and drove in a run.
