WINNIPEG - It was one of those "oh no" moments for Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel. Wesley Matthews Bucks Jersey . The Jets finally lived up to their name, roaring out of the gate at full speed Monday night and keeping the throttle full as they outskated and outshot the Detroit Red Wings 4-2. But for a few minutes in the second period, Noel admits he was worried. "Is this going to be one of these nights?" was the thought that crossed his mind. "I thought we had a good first period then OK, before you know it were down 2-1." Bryan Little had scored the only goal in the first period for the Jets (6-8-2), as they outshot Detroit 14-9. But then Henrik Zetterberg put Detroit (9-5-2) on the board at 7:09 of the second after his shot in front of the Winnipeg net glanced in off Jets defenceman Grant Clitsomes skate. Danny DeKeyser had the go-ahead goal, his NHL career first, with a slapshot from the blue-line that beat Jets goalie Al Montoyas glove when Detroit was shorthanded. Its not like it hasnt happened before to the Jets. A good game goes bad and stays that way. But not this time. "I think a big thing is we didnt get down on ourselves," said Mark Scheifele. "We knew we made some mistakes but I think on the bench we were saying, Guys, were still in this, weve still got lots of game. " In the end, Noel had little to complain about as the Jets continued to dominate, outshooting the Red Wings 47-27 and forcing turnover after turnover. "The way that we played, it would have been a really tough game to lose," he said. "We got some games from a lot of players." Matt Halishuck scored the winner and his first goal as a Jet. Michael Frolik and Andrew Ladd also scored for the Jets, who snapped a three-game losing streak The assists tell a fuller story. Devin Setoguchi had two, Scheifele had two and Little and Ladd both had assists in addition to their goals. "There was a lot of things to like in that game," said Noel. With Evander Kane out of the lineup following their last game, the line of Frolik, Scheifele and Halischuk was a solid replacement. "They played better that we did," said Detroit coach Mike Babcock. "I think from start to finish they were the better team on the ice. We didnt look like we had much energy, didnt skate well, didnt execute well." He said four games in six days was no excuse. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak built in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. The Jets had as many shots in the first period as Edmonton managed in the entire game the Oilers lost 5-0 Saturday. One stat that wasnt so flattering for Winnipeg was 0-6 on the power play, plus one short-handed goal, but Noel said they will build on the positives. Little got the jump on defenceman Kyle Quincy, who fell and left Winnipegs leading scorer to go in alone against Jimmy Howard. It was Littles team-leading eighth goal of the season. Babcock said Howard did a good job and Detroits penalty killing was one of the few bright spots Monday night. A third Detroit goal in the second was cancelled by a net that came off its moorings. With just under three minutes to go, Scheifele slid the puck through Quinceys skates in front of the Detroit net to Frolik and he popped it in to make it 2-2. A perfectly positioned Halischuk put the Jets ahead at 4:26 of the third when he one-timed a pass from Frolik, who fed it from behind the Detroit net. Ladd backhanded a loose puck past Howard at 10:57 of the third to give the Jets some breathing room. Notes: Defenceman Mark Stuart joined the Jets injury list on the weekend and the Jets called up Zach Redmond from the IceCaps. They also claimed defenceman Keaton Ellerby off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings and Noel said he played well Monday. ... The team has been without defenceman Jacob Trouba and centre Jim Slater since Oct. 20. Paul Postma has been off since Oct. 27. It isnt known how long Kane might be out. Khris Middleton Jersey . The club was unable to retain hitting coach Kevin Seitzer, who is bound for Atlanta. Seitzer replaces Greg Walker, who was assisted by Scott Fletcher this season as the Braves finished 79-83. Thon Maker Jersey . He wants to seize that opportunity. The trouble is, Firus has had more bumps on the road to Sochi than most. Last year, Firus had the skate of a lifetime in the short program at the Canadian championships when he landed his first triple Axel in competition and finished third in a stacked field. https://www.bucksrookiesshop.com/Eric-Bledsoe-City-Edition-Jersey/ . Cornet won six straight games to rally from a 2-0 deficit and take the first set. The 25th-ranked Frenchwoman broke back twice in the second set before Bacsinszky saved a match point at 5-4.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Western Conference has six teams with at least 13 wins and the Portland Trail Blazers are one of them. The Blazers are one of the hottest teams in the entire league and will make a trip to Denver Tuesday to face the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. Portland had a season-best nine-game winning streak stopped with Fridays 112-99 loss to the league-leading Memphis Grizzlies. Portland got back on track two days later with a 107-93 triumph versus the Minnesota Timberwolves and LaMarcus Aldridge led the way with 26 points and 15 rebounds. Aldridge leads the Blazers in points (21.4) and rebounds (9.6), and has registered four double-doubles in the past five games. Wesley Matthews scored 23 points versus the Timberwolves and Damian Lillard chipped in 17 to go with eight assists for Portland, which allowed 32 points in the fourth quarter and fended off what could have been a Minnesota rally. It was a struggle for most of the night just kind of getting into a rhythm, said Portland coach Terry Stotts, who reached 100 wins with the team. When we were able to get some stops in the second and third quarter, that was important for us. Thats when were at our best, when we get some stops. Im disappointed that they scored 32 in the fourth quarter. I would have liked to have a better defensive fourth quarter. ... But its hard to be too disappointed with a win. The Trail Blazers outrebounded Minnesota, 54-43, and have finished with more boards than their opponents in four of the last five games. Lillard scored 13 points in the fourth quarter and Matthews made six 3-pointers for a third consecutive game, a team record. The Trail Blazers are 4-0 against Northwest opponents and 11-1 when scoring 100 or more points. They are seventh with 104.2 ppg and seventh iin opponents scoring (96. Brook Lopez Bucks Jersey. 2). Portland, which is 4-2 on the road, will host Indiana Thursday before heading east for five straight against New York, Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago and Indiana. Denver squeezed past the Utah Jazz, 103-101, Monday night in Salt Lake City and struggled in the second half. The Jazz had a 58-41 advantage over the last two quarters, but the Nuggets used a 36-20 difference in the second to get the win. Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler were two of seven players to score in double digits and finished with 15 points apiece. Lawson handed out 12 assists, while Arron Afflalo scored 14 points before being ejected with 5:55 to play for a hard foul on Alec Burks. A flagrant foul type 2 is an immediate ejection. Either way, the Nuggets held on for the win, their eighth in 10 games. It feels good to be on the winning side of things, Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw said. A close game in a hostile environment, and we had to make the plays we needed to win the game and we were able to do it and have a positive experience behind that, so well take it. Denver may be fourth in scoring with 105.4 ppg, but is 26th in opponents scoring at 105.2 ppg. That could mean trouble with the Blazers coming into the Rocky Mountains with Aldridge, Lillard and the hot-shooting Matthews. The Nuggets, who are 5-3 at home, will start a three-game trip east on Friday against Washington, Atlanta and Toronto. Nuggets center JaVale McGee has missed the last four games with a leg injury and is questionable Tuesday. Portland is already 2-0 against Denver this season and has won six straight and 10 of the past 14 games between division rivals. The Blazers have won three straight at Denver, but are only 5-24 in the previous 29 matchups as the guest in this series. ' ' '
