fident the club could repeat their form
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Henrik Zetterbergs attention to detail led to the game-winning shootout goal on Tuesday night. S Well Bouteille Paris .Zetterberg backhanded in the deciding tally and the Detroit Red Wings came back from a two-goal deficit to beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 on Tuesday night.The veteran forward watched how teammate Frans Nielsen almost scored on Connor Hellebuyck earlier in the shootout and followed his lead -- with a little twist, making sure he lifted his shot high over the goalie.When Nielsen took his attempt, (Hellebuyck) went down when he tried to deke him, Zetterberg said. I thought Id do the same (but go high off the backhand).Thomas Vanek also scored on Hellebuyck in the shootout, and Patrik Laine had Winnipegs tally against Petr Mrazek.Tomas Tatar, Anthony Mantha and Vanek scored in regulation for Detroit, which has at least one point in seven of its last eight games (5-1-2).Right now, the standings are so tight one or two points could make a great difference at the end of the year, Mantha said.The Jets got goals from Andrew Copp, Dustin Byfuglien and Laine, whose 17th of the season tied him for the NHL lead with Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby.Byfuglien and Laine each added an assist for Winnipeg, which is 4-1-1 in its past six games.We just werent playing the same game (as we did) in the first period, Laine said. That cant happen against a good team like this. They will come back into the game right away and that happened tonight.Hellebuyck made 27 saves, while Mrazek stopped 31 shots.He played amazing again, Mantha said of Mrazek. Hes been really solid lately. He showed us that he could be a great goaltender.Winnipeg had a 3-1 lead late in the first period, but Vanek tied it with 2:08 left in the second on a re-direction.Winnipeg was leading 28-16 in shots on goal after two periods but didnt get its first in the scoreless third until more than 12 minutes had passed.Thats similar to the slow start the Red Wings had to start the game.Detroit didnt have a shot on goal before Copp tipped in teammate Ben Chiarots point shot to open the scoring at 6:41 of the first period with Winnipegs seventh shot.But the Wings second shot on goal 24 seconds later was Tatars marker off a rebound to tie it 1-1.Zetterberg assisted on the goal, extending his point streak to five games with three goals and three assists.Byfuglien made it 2-1 at 11:22 and then Zetterbergs turnover in the Wings end led to Laines goal 1:44 later.The long blast appeared to glance off a Detroit stick and then defenseman Mike Green on the way past Mrazek at 13:06.Laine has four goals and a pair of assists in his past six games.Winnipeg outshot the Wings 16-7 in the opening period.A turnover by Jets defenseman Toby Enstrom in his own end led to Manthas goal at 10:59 of the second period to make it 3-2.Vanek tied it at 17:52 with a re-direction of Xavier Ouellets shot.Game notes The Jets have been outscored 39-19 in the second period this season.UP NEXTRed Wings: Return home to face Columbus on Friday night.Jets: Host the New York Rangers on Thursday night. Bouteille S well Bois . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. swell Bouteille Isotherme . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. http://www.swellbouteille.fr/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Parramatta legend Luke Burt is confident the club can find a replacement for failed signing Kieran Foran as soon as next NRL season.The Eels last week granted Foran a release from the final three years of his contract after the New Zealand international quit the game to focus on addressing personal issues.Foran was trumpeted as the man to lead the Eels to the finals for the first time in six years after signing a lucrative deal almost worth a reported $5 million last year.And after leading the side to a 5-2 record to start the season, the Eels were on their way.That was when Forans off-field struggles became public, and he played just two more games in the blue and gold before he decided to leave the NRL.And while the club will rue the departure of one of the competitions best players, Forans exit means there should now be at least $1 million worth of space in their salary cap for 2017.The club has also yet to commit big money to off-contract five-eighth Corey Norman.Burt, who holds the record for most tries in the clubs history, said the clubs success on the field in 2016 was reason for optimism next season.Obviously hes a quality player. Theres no doubt about that, Burt told AAP.But the players that have stepped up this year through injury or whatever, theyve steppped in and done a really good job for us. swell France. Why cant someone do it again next year?Former captain Nathan Cayless also pointed out how the Eels, with 10 wins from their 19 games this season, would be in the top eight if it wasnt for salary cap breaches.Cayless is confident the club could repeat their form and break their finals drought next year.If you look at how many wins and losses the boys are sitting on at the moment, theyve got themselves within the eight, he said.Theres certainly a real good core of players, and a good core of senior players, wholl definitely expect to play finals next year.While marquee talent is thin at this time of the year, Burt said off-contract code-hopper Jarryd Hayne would be at the top of list of every club in the competition.There is space for him and if he can fit in there, then 100 per cent youd throw him in there because we all know how good a player Jarryd is and how good he was for this club. For him to come back itd be a great acquisition, he said.* Australian readers seeking support and information about depression can contact the Depression Helpline (from 8am to midnight) on 0800 111 757.
