NEWARK TJ Brodie Jersey , N.J. — were top overall picks one year apart with the New York Islanders in 2009 and Edmonton Oilers in 2010, and both are playing on the second teams of their careers.Tavares and the Toronto Maple Leafs started off quickly and have maintained a winning record while Hall and the New Jersey Devils are struggling of late following a quick start in the opening weeks of the season.Tavares and Hall may not oppose each other for the second time this season Tuesday night when the Maple Leafs visit the Devils.Article continues below ...Toronto (21-10-2) started with six wins in its first seven games then won 12 of 15 from Nov. 3-Dec 4. The Maple Leafs make their first visit to New Jersey 1-2-2 in their last five games and are hoping to avoid their first three-game losing streak since a four-game skid Feb. 26-March 5.Tavares, who is in his first year of a seven-year contract with Toronto, following nine seasons with the New York Islanders, leads the Maple Leafs with 20 goals and is third on the team with 34 points. He has three goals during this mini five-game slide and scored his 20th goal in the third period of Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss at Florida.Mitchell Marner scored twice but coach Mike Babcock was not thrilled with the effort, especially after the Leafs allowed at least four goals for the fourth time in five games,“I don’t sit here and come walk out to this and say, ‘Jeez, the wheels are off here.’ I don’t see that at all,” Babcock said. “We weren’t good enough, that’s it. Didn’t play hard enough.”Besides effort Womens Travis Hamonic Jersey , Babcock will be hoping to see some improvement on the power play. Toronto was 0-for-4 Saturday and is 2-for-21 in its last seven games since getting three power-play goals in a 5-3 win over the San Jose Sharks on Nov. 28.“Obviously, we’re trying to make adjustments, but at the same time we’re not trying to do too much either,” Tavares said. “You don’t want to get too far away from what makes you successful and it’s just finding that right balance. Sometimes that’s just the way it goes, doesn’t bounce your way and other times it seems like everything is bouncing your way. We just have to stay with it and find a way to generate some results from that to give us a better chance in these games.”Toronto will try to correct those things before it spends a significant portion of the next few weeks at home. After Tuesday, the Maple Leafs play 14 of their next 19 games at home.Hall missed the last two games with a lower-body injury when the Devils rallied from a three-goal deficit in a 5-4 overtime win over Vegas Friday and then scored the tying goal late in the third period of a 2-1 shootout loss at Nashville on Saturday.While Hall sat out, Brian Boyle scored the tying goal with 91 seconds left in regulation and Keith Kinkaid made 27 saves.“It’s one of the best teams in the league and I thought we certainly could have come out with two points,” Devils center Blake Coleman said. “I thought we deserved better. If we deserve two points every night, they are going to start to come.”Hall practiced on the first line Monday with Nico Hischier and Kyle Palmieri and will participate in the morning skate to see if he can return.Hall leads the Devils with 31 points but his eight goals are fourth on the team. He has one goal in his last seven games through Hall also has seven assists in that span.The Devils are 7-13-7 since winning their first four games and 5-8-6 in their last 19 games since they were last over .500 following a 5-1 win at Pittsburgh on Nov. 5. One of those losses was a 6-1 defeat in Toronto on Nov. 9 when Tavares scored and was among 10 players with at least a point.While Hall could return, the Devils will not have Cory Schneider available since he was placed on injured reserve with an abdominal strain. He was pulled from Friday’s game after allowing three goals in the opening 10 minutes and is 0-5-1 with a 4.66 goals-against average since returning from offseason hip surgery.Tavares has 14 goals in 38 career games against the Devils and his team is 13-4 in the last 17 games he has played against them. DETROIT (AP) — Niklas Kronwall scored to give Detroit a two-goal lead, and later in the first period Custom Los Angeles Kings Jerseys , he knocked Anders Lee off his feet with a high, hard hit.After that, the New York Islanders began asserting themselves.Matt Martin scored a tiebreaking goal with 16:36 remaining in the third period, capping an impressive comeback for the Islanders in a 3-2 victory over the Red Wings on Saturday night. New York trailed 2-0 after the first period but rallied with goals by Casey Cizikas, Ryan Pulock and Martin.Tempers flared after Kronwall’s hit on Lee. Moments later, Josh Bailey of the Islanders took Kronwall down in the corner. Then Bailey and Larkin had a scrap that earned fighting majors for both.“I thought when that hit happened, with Bailey going over there and answering the bell, I thought from that standpoint, he pulled the rest of the group in,” New York coach Barry Trotz said. “Our leadership, the guys were really good.”Lee was able to return to the game after getting stitched up http://www.hurricanesshoponline.com/aut … kov-jersey , and he didn’t seem to have much of an issue with the hit.“I had my head down, looking for the puck in my skates, and he hit me with a good shoulder check,” Lee said. “That’s hockey.”There was no penalty assessed on the play.“The hard part when you’re coming north-south is to not touch the head at all,” Kronwall said. “I think when you’re skating, you’re in a position where your head is basically the point of your body that’s the most forward. You try to go through the chest or shoulder. Sometimes you end up catching the head. That’s basically all I can say about it.”Justin Abdelkader and Kronwall scored for Detroit in the first, but the Islanders came all the way back. The game winner came when Luke Witkowski of the Red Wings wasn’t able to handle the puck cleanly when it bounced off the boards behind the net. It ended up on Martin’s stick in front of the goal, and he capitalized for his fourth goal of the season.“I loved the way we responded tonight,” Martin said. “We were 2-0 down and our captain is down and bleeding — that’s a pretty bad start, but we talked about it after the first period and we decided we weren’t going to let this one get away that easily. We had to step up. Our leading scorer got into a fight, which you don’t see very often Brock McGinn Jersey Kids , but that’s the kind of player Josh is.”Detroit opened the scoring when Larkin split two New York players and forced a save by goalie Thomas Greiss. Abdelkader scored on the rebound.Seconds later, the Red Wings had a goal called back for offside, but they eventually went up 2-0 on Kronwall’s tally. The Islanders gave the 37-year-old defenseman plenty of time to skate to the middle and shoot past a screened Greiss from just inside the blue line. It was his first goal of the season.The Islanders quickly rallied to tie it in the second. After Cizikas made it 2-1, Pulock scored on a slap shot from the right circle while the Islanders had a two-man advantage.“We had an excellent first period, and we could have had more goals,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “We needed to either score at least one more or not take the 5-on-3, because you are always likely to give up a goal on those and then it was a new game.”Later that period, there was another fight, this one between Abdelkader and Johnny Boychuk.NOTES: Greiss made 23 saves, and Jonathan Bernier made 16 for Detroit. … Lee’s four-game goal streak was snapped. … Bailey earned an assist on the goal by Pulock for his 400th career point. … Kronwall’s 81st career goal moved him past Marcel Pronovost for fourth on Detroit’s career list among defensemen. … Red Wings F Tyler Bertuzzi returned after a two-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct and roughing against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.UP NEXTIslanders: Host Pittsburgh on Monday night.Red Wings: Host Los Angeles on Monday night.
