going to happen, just be a good team player.
UNIONDALE, N. Mario Hezonja Jersey .Y. - Frans Nielsen has seen a lot with the New York Islanders since the 2006-07 season — and much of it has been frustrating.But in his 455th game, Nielsen notched his first hat trick, and the Islanders outlasted the Dallas Stars in a wild 7-5 win on Saturday night.Nielsen beat goalie Anders Lindback with a wrist shot at 9:39 of the third period to break a 4-4 tie after he and Nikolay Kulemin skated into the Dallas zone on a 2-on-1 rush.He scored again six minutes later and then finished with an empty-net goal with less than a second remaining. He deferred to his teammates as the Islanders won for the sixth time in eight games to start the season.It was pretty cool, the 30-year-old Danish centre said. We know were a good team and were working hard. We wanted to make a statement in the beginning, and weve done it.New linemates Mikhail Grabovski and Kulemin also earned praise from Nielsen, a third-round draft pick by the Islanders in 2002. Grabovski had two assists and Kulemin scored his first goal with the Islanders.They are both really smart players, and its fun playing with them, Nielsen said.Nielsens second goal came at 15:09 off another 2-on-1 with Grabovski before Shawn Horcoff pulled Dallas to within 6-5 just 23 seconds later.Backup goalie Chad Johnson made 26 saves for the Islanders in his second straight start. He has won all three games he has played this season.You wont score six or seven goals every night so I have to make more key saves, Johnson said. But a win is a win. You get the two points any way you can.Anders Lee, recalled by New York from AHL Bridgeport this week, opened the scoring with his first of the season at 5:11 of the first period.After Vernon Fiddler tied it at 13:25, Kulemin scored on a short-handed breakaway at 18:42.Lees goal came when he redirected Thomas Hickeys shot past Lindback. It was the 11th goal for Lee in 26 NHL games.Brock Nelson scored his fifth of the season at 1:12 of the second period to extend New Yorks lead to 3-1.Then Stars leading scorer Tyler Seguin narrowed the deficit to 3-2 with his sixth of the season at 5:25 before Jason Spezza tied it with a power-play goal at 6:50.Antoine Roussel put Dallas ahead 4-3 at 15:50 but Islanders defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky ripped a shot over Lindbacks right shoulder 30 seconds later to tie it again.The goal was the first of the season for the 38-year-old Visnovsky, who missed the first five games of the season with a back injury.The Islanders have eight goals from defencemen this season. They had 23 all of last season from blue-liners.Contributions from throughout the lineup against Dallas didnt include Islanders leading scorer and captain John Tavares. Linemates Kyle Okposo and Cory Conacher assisted on Visnovskys goal.Were doing the right things defensively and that leads to chances like the 2-on-1 we finally got, Nielsen said. We compete hard, which leads to bounces going your way. Now we have to keep working hard.New York is 9-3-3 in its last 15 games against Dallas, which fell to 4-2-2 one night after beating the Devils in New Jersey in a shootout.We created more than enough chances, but we didnt adjust well enough, Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. We did some good things and played hard, but we were inconsistent.Grabovski returned after a three-game absence with concussion symptoms. He replaced Josh Bailey who went on the injured list after he broke a hand against Boston.Islanders defenceman Travis Hamonic missed his second straight game due to an upper body injury.NOTES: The teams meet again in Dallas on March 3. ... Defenceman Matt Donovan and forward Eric Boulton were scratched by the Islanders. ... Dallas scratched forward Curtis McKenzie and defenceman Kevin Connauton. D.J. Augustin Jersey . The game had many controversial incidents that, upon closer inspection, were not as controversial as many believed. The Formations Toronto FC lined up in its usual 4-4-2 formation, with Nick Hagglund slotting in at right fullback and Bradley Orr at centreback in place of the injured Mark Bloom and Steven Caldwell, respectively. Aaron Gordon Jersey . -- Wide receiver Sidney Rice should be fully recovered from a torn knee ligament by the time the Seattle Seahawks start defence of their Super Bowl title, general manager John Schneider said Wednesday.MONTREAL - The Montreal Canadiens have traded veteran forward Daniel Briere to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau and a fifth-round pick in 2015 draft.The 36-year-old Briere, who is heading into the final year of his contract, recorded 13 goals and 12 assists in 69 games with the Canadiens last season.Parenteau, 31, had 14 goals and 19 assists with Colorado.The Boucherville, Que., native was selected 264th overall by the Anaheim Ducks at the 2001 NHL draft. Prior to joining the Avalanche, Parenteau suited up for the Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers and New York Islanders.Briere, who has also played for Phoenix, Buffalo, and Philadelphia, joined the Canadiens as a free agent on July 4, 2013.I think for one year it was a great experience, Briere said of his time in Montreal. What we did in the playoffs was pretty amazing. This is what Ill remember the most. I think sometimes certain coaches like certain players. I dont think it was anything personal. But my responsibilities that I had probably were a little lower than I had expected coming in. Thhats why Im looking forward to a new chance in Colorado. Jonathan Isaac Jersey. Briere said it was difficult to watch from the sidelines as a healthy scratch.Its tough watching your teammates going out there and sacrificing their body while you have to just watch, he said in an interview. But I kept saying to myself good things are going to happen, just be a good team player. And I feel in a sense its a little bit of whats happening today.Parenteau said he happy to be returning to his home province.I think Im at a stage of my career where Im old enough to deal with all the pressure that comes with it, he told a conference call. Its a pretty big deal for a kid, Im pretty much playing in my hometown. . . Its a huge deal for me, my family, everyone that surrounds me.He also thinks hes a good fit in Montreal.Im pretty good friends with Brandon Prust and Dale Weise and David Desharnais, he said. Im not coming into a locker-room that I dont know anybody, so that makes it even more exciting for myself. Its a great challenge, its a great opportunity and Im going to make the best out of it.
