RALEIGH, N. Karl Klug Jersey .C. -- Cam Ward was perfect in goal for over 61 minutes on Sunday night, and then he got some help from a guy who rarely plays in overtime.Phillip Di Giuseppe scored his first goal of the season 1:26 into the extra period, giving the Carolina Hurricanes a 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.Viktor Stalberg assisted on Di Giuseppes wrist shot from the right circle, which ended a three-game skid for the Canes.It felt like the (first score) would win, especially the way it unfolded, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. Wardo stood tall. But we still need to find a way to score. We need to get different results offensively.It was Carolinas sixth straight home victory and snapped a three-game skid versus Tampa Bay. The Hurricanes have won just two of their last 10 games against the Lightning.And it was Carolinas first overtime win in six tries this season.When I got sent down (to Charlotte of the AHL on Nov. 11) the team got going, and when I came back (on Nov. 27) we were still playing well, Di Giuseppe said. We havent been getting many breaks, but tonight we did and thats nice. We played hard all 60 minutes, limited them to few Grade-A chances and Wardo made the big saves when he needed to and came out with a `W.Lightning coach Jon Cooper thought the winner should have been waved off because Stalberg bumped goalie Ben Bishops stick while Di Giuseppe shot.It was 100 percent goalie interference, Cooper said. The rule is in place for goalies to be able to make a save. Intention has nothing to do with it. (Bishops) stick was kicked and he was unable to make a save. Im blown away. Im mystified. I dont get it.Tampa Bay, without injured star Steven Stamkos, lost for the fifth time in six games. Its last regulation win was over Philadelphia on Nov. 23.Ward had 30 saves in his 25th career shutout. Bishop stopped 29 shots.It was one of those games when it was only going to take one, said Ward, who in his eighth season has the longest tenure of any of the current Hurricanes. We played smart and didnt press. We didnt take too many chances and waited for our opportunities. Our penalty kill has been a difference for us all season, and we contained them tonight. At the end of the day its about winning hockey games, and this team really wants to win.The Hurricanes, who have been the NHLs best penalty killers this season, dodged a bullet late in the third period when they killed off consecutive minors, including 22 seconds of 5-on-3.Its a good feeling to be winning like this at home, alternate captain Jeff Skinner said. You want to be able to establish an identity early in the year of being a tough team to play against at home. Weve done a good job over the last couple of weeks at home. Now our job is to try and take care of things on the road.Game notes Hurricanes C Elias Lindholm (lower body) missed his second straight game, while D Klas Dahlbeck and D Ryan Murphy were healthy scratches. ... Lightning D Jason Garrison (lower body) missed his second straight game and RW Ryan Callahan (lower body) his fourth. LW Jonathan Drouin missed the game with an undisclosed issue, while D Nikita Nesterov was a healthy extra. ... The teams will meet three times this season, with the other two contests at Tampa Bay on Dec. 31 and March 1.UP NEXTLightning: Host Vancouver on Wednesday night in the first of a two-game homestand.Hurricanes: Visit Anaheim on Tuesday night in the first of their three-game California road trip. Taylor Lewan Jersey . The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries. Quinton Spain Jersey . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. http://www.titansfootballpro.com/Titans-Jack-Conklin-Jersey/ . Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. NEW YORK -- Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah have been All-Stars on winning teams, yet also have struggled with injuries.Carmelo Anthony is still an All-Star, though his best days may be behind him. Kristaps Porzingis could be one eventually, but for now his best days may be too far ahead.For every reason to believe in the New York Knicks, theres another reason to question them. Even the guy who assembled them is optimistic but unsure.We hope that this team is going to prove that theyre capable, said Phil Jackson, the Knicks president of basketball operations.If healthy, it should be. The talent has been ungraded with the trade for Rose, the former NBA MVP, and signings of Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings. Yet all but Lee have missed significant time at some point because of injury, and Rose and Noah in particular have seen sharp drops in their production in recent years.But Jackson decided to take some risks after the Knicks went 32-50 last season to miss the playoffs for the third straight year. And he hired another coach, bringing in Jeff Hornacek to open up the offense.He hasnt had much time yet to see how well it can work.Rose missed much of preseason while in Los Angeles because of a rape trial that ended Wednesday when he was cleared in a $21.5 million lawsuit that accused him and two friends of raping an ex-girlfriend while she said she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol.Rose made it through 66 games last season, his highest total since his injury troubles started with a torn ACL in the 2012 playoffs.Noah got a late start on exhibition play because of hamstring and ankle injuries, renewing concerns about the center. He averaged a career-low 4.3 points last season in Chicago while limited to 29 games because of a dislocated left shoulder.So the Knicks will be figuring things out as they open Tuesday at Cleveland. The potential is there for a sttrong season, but it can also be wrecked by the injury bug that Rose knows all too well. Eddie George Jersey. If him and Noah stay healthy, they can be a dangerous team, TNT analyst Charles Barkley said.Here are things to watch as the Knicks begin their 70th anniversary season:ON POINT: The Knicks are confident in Jennings running the team whenever Rose is unavailable. He said he is fully recovered from a torn Achilles tendon that sidelined him about a year and has regained his quickness.GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY: Anthony has advanced in the playoffs just twice, both in seasons after he won Olympic gold medals. He became mens basketballs first three-time gold medalist this summer and will be hoping this season resembles 2009 in Denver and 2013 in New York, when he was the NBAs leading scorer.SHAPE OF THE OFFENSE: In two seasons under Derek Fisher and Kurt Rambis, the Knicks ran the triangle offense that Jackson used to win an NBA-record 11 championships as coach. Hornacek said they will still run some of it, but will also look to push the ball more quickly to take advantage of Roses speed and create more easy baskets.WILLY FROM SEVILLA: While scouting Porzingis when he played in Spain, the Knicks noticed Guillermo Willy Hernandez, his teammate in Seville. The Knicks acquired Hernangomezs draft rights from Philadelphia in 2015, signed him in July, and hope the 6-foot-11 center who played on Spains bronze medal-winning team in the Rio Olympics can become an important player off the bench.PHILS FINALE?: Jackson has an option in his contract to leave after this season, which he said he had included in case there was a lockout. But he said he hasnt been thinking about what hell do.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney 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 ' ' '
