TAMPA Dylan DeMelo Jersey Womens , Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning found their offense, and in a big way.Victor Hedman, Cedric Paquette and Yanni Gourde had first-period goals, and the Lightning beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 8-2 Saturday night.Brayden Point scored in both the second and third periods, and Andrei Vasilevskiy had 30 saves for Tampa Bay. Alex Killorn, Nikita Kucherov and J.T. Miller had the other Lightning goals.Tampa Bay, which led the NHL in goals last season, had scored just twice over 125 minutes in its first two games. The Lightning were held scoreless during the final 159:27 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Final by eventual Stanley Cup champion Washington.“Whether you get one or you get eight, your goal is to win the game,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “But I’m glad we only gave up two.”Columbus got goals from Josh Anderson and Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 23 shots.Columbus coach John Tortorella has been rotating his goaltending between Bobrovsky and Joonas Korpisalo.As the deficit mounded Gabriel Gagne Jersey Womens , Tortorella “had no thought about taking” Bobrovsky out.Hedman and Paquette scored before Gourde put the Lightning up 3-0 late in the first and stopped an 0 for 10 season-opening Tampa Bay power-play slide.“We had a strong presence in front of the net,” Hedman said. “A lot of the goals were scored around the crease.”Anderson, who beat Tampa Bay’s Dan Girardi to wipeout a potential icing and soon after scored, and Bjorkstrand cut the Blue Jackets deficit to one in the second.Point’s goal with 44.6 seconds left in the second made it 4-2.“Just a kick in the teeth, that fourth goal as far as the bad bounce (off the end boards),” Tortorella said. “We found our game, had them on their heels a bit.”Point and Alex Killorn both had a power-play goal during a four-goal third-period that also saw Kucherov get his first goal.Miller got Tampa Bay’s fourth power-play goal with two-tenths of second left.“We really had them on the ropes in the second,” Columbus left wing Nick Foligno said. “We don’t handle momentum swings well when they’re going against us.”NOTES: Julian Green was among a group of U.S. Men’s National Soccer team players in attendance. They were watching both teams play soccer during a pregame workout when the Blue Jackets had their ball get stuck on an overhanging vent. After players attempted to dislodge it with a pole, a stadium worker retrieved the ball using a portable lift. … Columbus D Seth Jones, who sprained his knee during the preseason, could be back in two to four weeks. … Tampa Bay star Steven Stamkos got his first assist this season but has no goals over 15 games James Van Riemsdyk Jersey Womens , dating to last season.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: Host Philadelphia Thursday night.Lightning: Play the fourth of a five-game homestand Tuesday night against Carolina. VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Some rest is doing wonders for Sidney Crosby.The Pittsburgh captain has three goals in his past two games as the Penguins prepare to visit the injury-riddled Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. The goals came after the Penguins enjoyed some rest for a few days in the scenic Rocky Mountain town of Banff, Alta., before visiting Edmonton and Calgary.“It was good that we got out here (to Western Canada) fairly early to get our feet under us, time change and all that stuff,” Crosby told reporters. “Banff was a great trip, it’s beautiful there and we had some good practices.Article continues below ...“It was good we didn’t have to deal with back-to-backs. Usually you’re dealing with a back-to-back at some point out here. We get to play every second day and get some rhythm.”Crosby scored two goals Tuesday in Edmonton, where he outperformed two-time defending NHL scoring champion Connor McDavid, and notched another marker in Calgary on Thursday as the Penguins shellacked the Flames 9-1. Before this week, Crosby had gone the first six games of the season without a goal for the first time in his career.Two of his goals have come on seemingly impossible plays featuring backhands.“He’s one of the best players not just shooting with his backhand, but playing on his backhand Matt Cullen Jersey Womens ,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan told reporters.Crosby’s surge has helped the Penguins post three straight wins since their last loss, which came at home to the Canucks on October 16. But the Pens will face a distinctly different Vancouver team Saturday.The Canucks are expected to be without injured defensemen Alex Edler (knee) and Chris Tanev (hip) as well as winger Sven Baetschi, one of their most offensively gifted forwards. Rookie center Elias Pettersson, who took the NHL by storm before suffering a concussion, and winger Brock Boeser, the club’s leading scorer last season, are questionable as they continue to recover from their health woes. All five players were missing from Thursday’s 4-1 road loss to Arizona.With Baertschi, Pettersson and Boeser hurting, other Canucks are hoping to pick up the offensive slack. Vancouver players lamented their scoring struggles against the Coyotes.Lou Eriksson, who earns $6 million per season but has not scored since February, hopes to do better after being stopped on a nice setup from Bo Horvat on a two-on-one Thursday.“It’s too bad because I can’t find a way to score a goal right now Derek Grant Jersey Womens ,” Eriksson told Sportsnet.ca. “Of course, it’s frustrating. You always want to score goals and right now they’re not coming.”Meanwhile, fellow forward Nikolay Goldobin is trying to stay positive after going nine games without a point.I’m going to stick with it, I guess,” he told Sportsnet. “Luck will come.”The Canucks are also looking to improve defensively after they allowed the Coyotes to break open a 1-1 tie with three unanswered goals in the third period.Defenseman Derrick Pouliot hopes to do better after his blatant giveaway in the Canucks end led to the winning goal.“Past couple of games haven’t been great,” he told Sportsnet.ca. “It’s not a secret; I’m not going to hide from that. You’ve got to find a way to… turn things around.”The Canucks will need to turn things around quickly, because it’s hard to tell what Crosby — not to mention the Penguins’ strong supporting cast — will do next.
