DALLAS - Brett Ritchie woke up Wednesday as a right wing for the AHLs Texas Stars. Several hours later he scored his first NHL goal.Ritchie scored in his NHL debut, starting off the Dallas Stars 6-0 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday night.I didnt have a night to sleep on it. I only found out at 12 p.m., Ritchie said. Obviously, to get a goal halfway through the game there settled me down as well.Kari Lehtonen made 32 saves for his 30th shutout, and third this season.Cody Eakin and Jamie Benn each had a goal and an assist, and Alex Goligoski assisted twice as the Stars had their biggest margin of victory this season.Arizonas three-game winning streak ended hours after the NHL board of governors approved IceArizonas sale of 51 per cent of the team to Philadelphia hedge fund manager Andrew Barroway. In October, IceArizona agreed to sell the majority stake to Barroway for $155 million.The game was scoreless in the second period when Ritchie checked Arizonas Sam Gagner into the right-wing boards. Ritchie then skated to the front of the net, took a pass from Travis Moen and put the puck past Coyotes goalie Devan Dubnyk at 7:22.It was a big day for Ritchies family. His parents were in Montreal watching his brother Nick play for Canada in a 5-3 victory over the United States in the World Junior Championship.Its great to see him get on the board, get us the game-winning goal, Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. Hes a big body, protected the puck well.Ritchie was credited with five hits, and nearly scored another goal on a second-period breakaway.Ruff said: You couldnt write a better script for a first game. I guess you could have crossed the T with a breakaway goal going in.Dallas Colton Sceviour scored at 8:25 of the second for a 2-0 lead.Benn, Eakin, Ales Hemsky and Ryan Garbutt all scored third-period goals.Ruff said it was probably the Star best game this season.Every line, every set of defence, big saves. Special teams were good, he said. We defended the way we needed to defend, really moved the puck well and skated well.Lehtonens greatest challenges came in the second period.The game was still 0-0, Lehtonen said. There was a couple of good saves there. There was the one 2-on-1, I was able to make two saves and cover the rebound.The Stars won their third straight, and seventh in eight games.At 1:19 of the third period, on Dallas second power play, Benns pass across the goalmouth hit Arizona defenceman Connor Murphy and went into the net.Garbage, Benn called the goal.Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said: They got a lucky one off a skate, and it was all downhill from there.Eakins goal was on a slap shot from the right circle. Hemsky scored from higher in the right circle, and Garbutt skated in from the left and shot over Dubnyks left shoulder.NOTES: The Stars won by three goals twice before this season. ... Ritchie was Dallas second-round draft pick in 2011. He scored five goals Saturday and Sunday for the AHLs Texas Stars, giving him 11 in 22 games. ... Benns assist ended a three-game slump when he had no points. His power-play goal was the first against the Coyotes after 10 straight successful penalty kills. ... The Stars are 7-2-1 in their last 10 home games, since starting the season 1-5-4 on home ice. ... Dubnyk had stopped 91 of 95 shots during the three-game winning streak. Arizonas Shane Doan has played more games (103) against the Stars than against any other team. ... Hemskys four goals all have come in the last 12 games. ... Dallas killed three penalties, improving the Stars to 7 for 9 during their winning streak. . It all would have been for naught, however, had it not been for some clutch shooting in the fourth quarter by Kobe Bryant and a couple of equally critical hustle plays by Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol in the final minutes. . - David Tomasek had two goals in regulation time and was the lone scorer in the shootout as the Belleville Bulls upset the Oshawa Generals 6-5 on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.vapormaxcheapoutlet.com/clea ... -navy.html. - Houston defensive end J. . Nick Young scored 17 points for Los Angeles, which lost five of its last seven before trouncing the Pelicans, who beat them handily last week in New Orleans. Jodie Meeks and Xavier Henry scored 15 points apiece for the Lakers, who led by 20 points in the first half before coasting to their 12th win in their last 13 regular-season meetings with New Orleans. . They have watched it from afar. And now they have seen it for themselves.SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Chargers have moved Melvin Ingram from the physically unable to perform list to the active roster. Ingram, the Chargers first-round draft pick in 2012, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in May. He was designated to return to practice on Nov. 19 and the team had until Tuesday to either add him tto the active roster or keep him on PUP for the remainder of the season.dddddddddddd Linebacker Adrian Robinson was released to make room for Ingram. The Chargers also added cornerback Johnny Patrick to the injury report with an ankle injury. He is listed as questionable for Sundays home game against the New York Giants. ' ' ' |
