PITTSBURGH, Pa. Wholesale Custom Nike Baseball Jerseys . - With their captain under fire and their season on the brink of collapse, the Pittsburgh Penguins responded with a crackling show of force. Of course, having the New York Rangers look like a team only too happy to get back home with a split helped. Kris Letang broke a scoreless tie in the second period, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 saves for his franchise-record seventh playoff shutout to lift the Penguins to a 3-0 victory on Sunday night, tying the second-round series one game apiece. Letangs 15th career postseason goal matched Larry Murphys record for Penguins defensemen. Jussi Jokinen scored during a third-period power play, and Evgeni Malkin added an empty-net goal for the Penguins, who pushed around the suddenly weary Rangers. Fleury earned his 50th career playoff victory. "I thought to a man our players were extremely good all night," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "It was a huge win for us." Game 3 is Monday night in New York. Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves for New York, but the Rangers mustered little offense while playing their fourth game in six days. Not that coach Alain Vigneault wanted to blame fatigue for a listless performance. "Did my goaltender look tired? He was on top of his game," Vigneault said. "If hes not tired, nobody else should be." The Rangers have lost eight straight Game 2s and have dropped 13 consecutive games when leading in a series. They had their chances to jump ahead early, only to be let down again by an anemic power play. Three times in the first 10 minutes a Penguins player skated to the penalty box, and three times the Rangers spent two minutes milling about as though they were killing time before getting back to even strength. The Rangers finished 0 for 4 with the man advantage and havent scored the last 29 times theyve had an extra skater on the ice. "It could have given us some momentum, and we didnt finish," Vigneault said. "Ive got to find the right trigger points here to make it work. Well spend the night trying to figure it out." Only Lundqvist seemed interested in sending the Rangers back to New York with a commanding 2-0 lead. He was typically brilliant, particularly when Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby was on the ice. The NHLs leading scorer and Hart Trophy finalist is in the midst of a lengthy postseason scoring funk. He began the night without a goal in 12 straight playoff games, a span that included 327 shifts and 275 minutes of ice time. Bylsma insisted early Sunday that he anticipated seeing Crosby at his "best" with the season possibly at stake. Though Crosby failed to score, it was the only thing he didnt do. For the first time in weeks, he looked like himself. Relentless at both ends of the ice, the jump in his game that was missing at times during a listless performance in Game 1 returned. "To see Sid play like that tonight was really inspiring for everybody in our dressing room," Letang said. "He was really dangerous." Crosby finished with a game-high six shots. During one stretch at the end of the first period he produced a pair of scoring opportunities, including a nifty deke around two defenders, before he ripped a wrist shot that just missed the net. Each time Crosby appeared poised to end the drought, Lundqvist found a way to get a piece of the puck. He made a sprawling leg save on a tip-in attempt by Crosby, though Lundqvist wasnt so fortunate the next time the Penguins came at him. Chris Kunitz began a breakout by feeding Malkin at the New York blue line. Malkin slipped the puck over to Letang, who flipped it toward the net. Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi dived headfirst to block the attempted pass to Kunitz, but the puck deflected off Girardis stick and past a surprised Lundqvist to give Pittsburgh the lead. "They just spent a lot of time in our own end," Lundqvist said. "That was the biggest difference." Fleury had little problem letting the one-goal advantage stand up. The Rangers rarely challenged him over the final 30 minutes, and Jokinen and Malkin removed any remaining drama by scoring twice in the last 5 minutes. Jokinen banged in a rebound off a shot by James Neal for his fourth goal of the playoffs with 3:30 remaining. Malkin beat two Rangers to tap in an empty-net goal with 54 seconds left as the Penguins exhaled. "Now the series is tied 1-1, and two games in their building," Jokinen said. "Im sure theyre going to be better. We need to keep playing the way were playing." NOTES: Lundqvist made his 75th career playoff appearance. He will tie Mike Richters club record for games played if he starts, as expected, on Monday night. ... Pittsburgh D Brooks Orpik missed his fourth straight game with an undisclosed injury. ... The Penguins are 2-6 in their last eight Game 2s. Custom Nike Washington Nationals Jerseys . And Richard Bachman, their rookie goalie, is facing a penalty shot a few seconds after the opening face-off. No pressure, right? Bachman stood his ground against Zack Kassian and saw the puck dribble off the Canuck rookies stick, then settled in and backstopped the Stars to a 5-2 win over Vancouver Tuesday that put Dallas in first place in the Pacific Division. Custom Nike Atlanta Braves Jerseys . On Saturday night, Winnipegs strong offense was again accompanied by some fantastic pitching which gave the Fish a commanding victory. https://www.customnikebaseballjerseys.com/ . You can watch the game on TSN at 7pm et/4pm pt and listen to the game on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal. After starting the month of November on an 0-3-1 slide, the Canadiens have recorded wins in three of their last five outings (3-1-1).NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Geno Smith and the New York Jets showed they can take a punch and bounce back with a win. The Tennessee Titans keep trying to keep their composure and failing.And losing.Smith shook off a punch to his head to throw a touchdown, and the Jets rallied to edge the Titans 16-11 on Sunday in the first NFL game to end with that score in a game that also will be remembered for a short brawl in the third quarter.Some Jets apparently went onto the field once the scuffle started as the Titans were challenging an 81-yard touchdown by Eric Decker overturned to a 48-yard catch. Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey hit Smith, but wouldnt share what they said to each other. Casey was not ejected.Having your quarterback getting punched in the face or what looked like a punch in the face, sometimes something like that happens, Jets coach Rex Ryan said. But you want to keep your players on the sideline. I clearly have to do a better job of that.The Jets improved to 3-11, snapping a three-game skid with their first road win. They also hurt their chances at the top overall draft pick, not that any of these Jets care.We cant worry about draft picks or anything like that, Jets safety Calvin Pryor said.The Titans (2-12) have lost eight straight and 11 of 12 along with quarterback Jake Locker dislocating his left shoulder. They now have a short turnaround with a visit to Jacksonville on Thursday night, and they currently would draft No. 2 overall.We left our guts out there, Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said. Its hard, no question.Here are some things to know from this battle for draft position:CJS RETURN: Ryan made Chris Johnson a game-day captain in his return to play the team that cut the running back in April. Johnson also started the game, and the man nicknamed CJ2K averaged 5.5 yards on 10 carries. Johnson also had his long run of 37 yards out of the wildcat on the Jets game-winning drive down to the Titans 4.There was motivation, but I just tried to block all that out and tried to focus on the New York Jets needing a win and tried to make plays, Johnson said.LOCKERS HEALTH: The TTitans already were on their second quarterback when Locker dislocated his left, non-throwing shoulder when hit by Jets end Quinton Coples late in the first half. Custom Nike Minnesota Twins Jerseys. Locker started for Zach Mettenberger, who has a sprained left shoulder expected to keep him out the final two games. Charlie Whitehurst finished the game, but injuries also had the Titans down to their second emergency quarterback in receiver Kris Durham. Locker said he wont know if he will be available against the Jaguars until getting his shoulder checked further Monday.Its a little painful, Locker said.THAT SAFETY: The officials initially called the Jets safety a fumble recovered by New York before Whisenhunt challenged. He had a rare win when a review showed Smith was throwing as he hit the grass in the end zone. Smith said he was trying to throw to Chris Ivory, while the official ruling was intentional grounding with the result a safety. The NFL said later referee John Parry would have ruled intentional grounding if the play had been an incomplete pass before the review, so the replay review involved only whether it was a pass or fumble.THOSE LATERALS: The Titans subbed out all their offensive linemen on the final play, keeping only the centre for a play where Charlie Whitehurst threw to Dexter McCluster.He lateraled to Nate Washington, who then threw backward to Whitehurst. The quarterback ran 20 yards to the Jets 42 before tossing back to Delanie Walker who got to the Jets 9 before being tackled to end the game.I probably should have stayed up the middle, but its a crucial moment and I was just trying to make a play, Walker said.Ryan said he thought Whitehursts toss to Walker was a forward pass that should have been blown dead to avoid injury.THREE WINS THERE, REX: The Jets coach was so excited about getting a rare win this season that he misspoke on just how many victories they have.Jets fans want to win, Ryan said. Are you kidding me? We have only got two of them.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Teresa M. Walker at www.twitter.com/teresamwalker ' ' '
