GLENDALE, Ariz. Dale Hunter Jersey . -- Between a three-day layoff and a quirk in the schedule, the San Jose Sharks were concerned about getting off to a slow start. They did, yet still found a way to pull out a road victory, something that had been hard to come by recently. Patrick Marleau scored in regulation and in the shootout, Joe Pavelski had a goal and an assist, and the Sharks beat the Phoenix Coyotes 4-3 on Friday night. "They had a little more jump and much better execution than we did early in the game, in fact off the opening faceoff," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "But I was pleased with the way our guys stuck with it and fought through it." San Jose had to fly out Friday morning because the new NHL labour agreement requires teams to take three full days off for the holiday break. The Sharks were flat early, and the Coyotes jumped on them, creating numerous good scoring chances in the first period to go up 1-0. The Sharks found their rhythm after they fought back. In regulation, Brent Burns had a goal and an assist, and Joe Thornton had two assists. Once San Jose hit the shootout, Logan Couture and Marleau scored, and Antti Niemi stopped Radim Vrbata and Oliver Ekman-Larsson for the Sharks second win in their past seven road games. "Its been tough for us on the road, so for us to go out and get the two points was nice," Marleau said. The Coyotes were much better in their own end than previously against the Sharks, allowing 28 shots in regulation after giving up 101 combined in a pair of games in San Jose earlier this season. Phoenix pulled out a victory in one of those first two games, but couldnt earn the extra point Friday after struggling in the shootout. David Moss had two goals, and Vrbata scored late in the third period to help Phoenix earn a point in its fourth straight game -- all after regulation. "The last time we got two points on San Jose, we probably didnt deserve those two points," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "Tonight, I thought that game was a toss-up. Unfortunately, we didnt get the extra point, but we put the work in to get the two points." With their early travel, the Sharks seemed a step slow in the opening period, and the Coyotes jumped on them, generating several good scoring chances. San Jose gave them an extra one midway through the period, when Sharks forward Matt Nieto flipped an errant pass right to Moss, who whirled around in the slot and beat Niemi. The Sharks nearly scored early in the second period when a shot by Justin Braun hit the left post, bounced off a stick and hit the right post before being cleared away. They did get one through after a Coyotes turnover. Thornton ended up with the stray puck, skated up the middle and found Pavelski, who beat Smith over the glove shoulder from the left circle. The next two goals came quickly. Phoenix answered 68 seconds after Pavelskis goal when Moss fought off Nieto and redirected a shot from David Schlemko past Niemi. San Jose responded on a power play two minutes after that, tying it when Marleau gathered a pass from Tommy Wingels and beat Smith with a wrist shot from between two defenders. The Sharks made a big push to start the third period, and Burns scored midway through, one-timing a feed from Pavelski behind the net that went through Phoenix defenceman Derek Morris legs. Phoenix again had an answer, scoring with just over 6 minutes left on a power play when Mike Ribeiro sent a pass through traffic to Vrbata, who scored his 11th of the season from the left circle to tie it at 3-all. Smith made a big save on Burns after a turnover right in front in overtime, but couldnt stop Couture or Marleau in the shootout. "Theyre such a good team, those first two lines have really good players," Vrbata said. "We played much tighter defensively and didnt give them much. Obviously, (they scored) three goals, but its a good team." NOTES: Friday night was the 10th anniversary of the Coyotes first game at Jobing.com Arena -- a 3-1 loss to Nashville. ... Thornton, the NHL assists leader with 37, has five in his past two games. ... Coyotes captain Shane Doan missed his ninth straight game because of Rocky Mountain Fever. He skated Friday morning, but no timetable has been set for his return. ... Couture has gone seven games without a point, leaving him stuck on 99 goals and 98 assists for his career.

MADRID, Spain -- It was no surprise when Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain named their new coaches almost simultaneously on Tuesday. For weeks, the clubs were tied together over the fate of Carlo Ancelotti. Ultimately, with a year to go on his contract at PSG, Ancelotti was successfully lured by Madrid. At the same time, PSG filled the void left by Ancelotti by settling on Laurent Blanc, who was last seen on a sideline leading France at the 2012 European Championship. Both teams got the men they wanted, winners of titles as players and coaches. Madrid got a coach with a little less ego than Jose Mourinho and a little more sensitivity, while PSG didnt get its first, second or third choice, but a respected figure all the same. After rebuffing Madrid for weeks, even before PSG clinched its first French league title in 19 years on May 12, the club gave in to Ancelottis desire to leave and Madrids deeper pockets. Following Mourinhos three tumultuous seasons, Ancelotti received a three-year contract and the immediate task of rebuilding trust in a dressing room riven by his predecessor. He will be presented at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday. Ancelotti will also have to nail down his squad, with striker Gonzalo Higuain likely leaving and the club linked to attempts for Tottenham winger Gareth Bale after losing a complex bidding war for Neymar to Barcelona. Ancelotti will also need to resolve three hefty problems inherited from Mourinho: To find a way to definitely break Barcelonas hold on the Spanish league; win the Champions League after Madrid lost in the semifinals for three straight years; and decide if he gives goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas back his starting role, or continues to favour newcomer -- and Mourinhos preferred keeper -- Diego Lopez. Mourinho broke Barcelonas grip on the domestic league for one season, but was unable to win for Madrid an elusive 10th Champions League. Madrid hailed Ancelotti on Tuesday, saying hed been "elected best coach in all leagues where he has coached: Italy, England and France."t; Ancelotti, who won the European Cup twice as a player for AC Milan in 1989 and 1990, won Champions League crowns as the club coach in 2003 and 2007, and the Serie A in 2004. Jaromir Jagr Jersey. He led Chelsea -- the club Mourinho now coaches -- to the English Premier League title and FA Cup in 2010. PSG spent lavishly in Ancelottis two seasons, with an outlay of around 260 million euros ($340 million) to secure big names like striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and centre back Thiago Silva. Despite having such talent at his disposal, Ancelotti struggled to get the squad to play cohesively. Under him, PSG never went beyond the quarterfinals of any domestic cup competition. When Ancelotti joined PSG during the winter break of the 2011-12 season, replacing Antoine Kombouare, it held a three-point lead over Montpellier, only to lose the league title by three points. The club recovered from that blow to win the league last season, finishing eight points clear of Marseille, despite a mid-season rocky patch that led to Ancelotti openly questioning the commitment of his players. PSG reportedly went after Fabio Capello, Andre Villas-Boas, Rafael Benitez and other high-profile managers before opting to give Blanc a two-year contract. PSG was also apparently not Blancs first choice. Only after Roma took Rudi Garcia did Blanc turn back to PSG, and the lack of total commitment by each side was written into a contract in which the second year was reportedly an optional year as the clubs hierarchy keep an eye on the situation at English club Arsenal, where Arsene Wenger has one season left on his contract. Wenger has long been a favourite of PSGs cash-rich Qatari-based owners, QSI. Blanc, a 1998 World Cup winner as an attacking midfielder for France, coached Bordeaux to the French title and League Cup in 2009, and was handed the reins to France a year later. He entered Euro 2012 on a 21-match unbeaten run, but the teams discipline and effort fell apart and France meekly bowed out to Spain in the quarterfinals. A year later, hes a manager again. ------ Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
