ANAHEIM, Calif. TJ Brodie Jersey . -- The Anaheim Ducks seek to maintain their share of first place in the Pacific Division when they meet another surging team, the New Jersey Devils, on Thursday night at the Honda Center.The Ducks joined the Edmonton Oilers at the top of the division by beating them 4-1 on Tuesday night, with goaltender John Gibson making a season-high 33 saves. While the Devils and Ducks face each other, the Oilers play the slumping Los Angeles Kings, whove lost four in a row.Anaheim earned its fourth victory in six games Tuesday night after starting the season by securing only one point while losing its first four games. In their past 13 games, the Ducks have compiled a 8-3-2 record. During that spurt, right winger Corey Perry amassed 10 points in eight games while center Ryan Kesler scored five goals in his past five contests and six goals this month.Were just finding different ways to win, Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler said. Some nights, its our defense not giving up too many opportunities to the other team. Other nights, its been our special teams and power play. Tonight, it was goaltending and scoring at the right times.Wed like to play a little more consistent but were slowly finding our way as a team.Defenseman Josh Manson said he believes the Ducks need to make progress during this five-game homestand, the first of two this season.You want to be a force in your own building, Manson told the Orange County Register. You want teams to come in and realize what theyre coming into and know that its going to be a tough night and know that its going to be no fun. I think thats something were going to work towards here on this homestand.The Devils come to Anaheim with a five-game winning streak, their longest since February 2013. Traditionally strong defensively, the Devils rank second in fewest goals allowed with 31, and fewest goals conceded per game with 2.07.When you win games, the players have to have a certain work ethic, New Jersey coach John Hynes told NHL.com. They have to make smart plays. They have to make the right decisions and they have to play consistently, and I think weve been fortunate enough to be able to do that.That approach enabled the Devils to earn a 2-1 overtime victory Tuesday night in Dallas against the Stars.Were a blue collar team, right winger Kyle Palmieri told the Bergen Record afterward. Were a team that plays a pretty good structured defensive game, but I think tonight we were on our toes all night and attacking and getting chances.However, the Devils will have to play without left winger Taylor Hall, who shares the team lead with five goals and 12 points. Hall, who turned 25 on Monday, underwent knee surgery Wednesday for a torn left meniscus and is expected to be out 3-to-4 weeks. Hall was Edmontons selection as the first overall choice in the 2010 draft but the Oilers traded him to New Jersey in June for defenseman Adam Larsson.Halls absence hurts a power play that has failed to convert its last 21 opportunities over the past six games. Michael Frolik Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Curtis Lazar Jersey . Artturi Lehkonen, Joni Nikko and Ville Leskinen had the other goals for Finland (1-0) while Juuse Saros stopped 28 shots. Tim Robin Johnsgard had the lone goal for Norway (0-2). http://www.cheapflamesjerseys.com/?tag=adidas-troy-brouwer-jersey . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd. STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Accompanied by his platoon of quarterbacks, Joe Moorhead takes the same walk about an hour before every game.The Penn State offensive coordinator moves from goal line to goal line, gripping his play sheet as signal-callers huddle around him. Theyll stop every 10 yards or so for Moorhead deliver instructions and contemplate scenarios.Moorheads methodical approach has paid off for the No. 20 Nittany Lions (6-2, 4-2 Big Ten, No. 12 CFP). Theyve experienced an offensive resurgence in his first season and take a four-game winning streak into their game against Iowa (5-3, 3-2) on Saturday.Id say Im pleased but not satisfied, Moorhead said Thursday. I think weve certainly come close to meeting our expectations in some categories and fell short in a few others.They havent come up short lately, however.Practices are crisp, confidence is high and Moorheads offense looks nothing like the units that sputtered the last two seasons. It barely resembles the gun-shy group that was knocked around by an older, superior Michigan defense at the Big House just weeks ago.I think were learning just as much from the games that we win as the games that we lose, McSorley said.But that hasnt happened since the debacle at the Big House and slow starts and turnovers are things of the past. The Nittany Lions are averaging 107 more yards and just over nine more points per game over their last four since that demoralizing defeat in Ann Arbor prompted McSorley to label the effort embarrassing.Big point totals are Moorheads end goal and hes fixated on two strategies to score them. When drawing up a game plan, the former Fordham head coach aims to limit turnovers and execute explosive plays. He said Penn State practices ball security than any other team Ive been a part of and its working. Penn Statte is plus-5 in turnover differential over its last four games after going minus-4 in the first third of the season. Theoren Fleury Jersey. I think its the kids getting settled in and understanding what were doing and why as it pertains to doing it in the game, Moorhead said. Theres things within our offensive system that we didnt quit doing, but we emphasized other things.The main shift? Moorheads effort to involve McSorley more in the running game, hoping to juice bigger runs out of star running back Saquon Barkley.As the shifty quarterback has created space for himself and kept downfield passing plays alive with his feet, opponents wary of the teams vertical passing game have had to back off the line of scrimmage. Its opened up room for Barkley to rack up 638 total yards and four touchdowns during the winning streak. In that span Penn State has pulled to second in the Big Ten and 13th in the country with 51 plays of 20-plus yards, 33 of them coming via McSorleys arm.The offenses big-play ability has masked some of its deficiencies.Penn State is converting just 25 percent of its third downs which is worst in the nation and McSorleys completion percentage of 55 percent is 10 points lower than what Moorhead would like to see. But he sees progress even in those numbers.McSorley took 11 sacks over the first four games and just five since and as his completion percentages have taken hits, hes avoided them.Part of avoiding the sacks is Trace making great decisions when nothings there to throw the ball away, Moorhead said. There are very rarely times when we come in and look at the film and say he mis-diagnosed the coverage or misread a read and threw it to the wrong person.
