BUFFALO http://www.officialcoyotes.com/authentic-adidas-cl...ler-jer sey , N.Y. (AP) St. Louis Blues goalie Carter Hutton is expected to sign with the Buffalo Sabres once the NHLâs free-agency period opens Sunday, according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions.The person tells The Associated Press that the two sides are close to having the framework of a deal in place after Hutton visited Buffalo this week. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Saturday because agreements cannot be announced until the signing period begins.The 32-year-old Hutton has six seasons of NHL experience, including the past two with the Blues, where he split starting duties with Jake Allen. He finished with a 17-7-3 record and a 2.09 goals-against average in 32 games last year.The Sabres have needs at goalie after electing not to re-sign third-year starter Robin Lehner and veteran backup Chad Johnson.Hutton would form a tandem with Linus Ullmark, who is pegged to make the jump to the NHL level on a full-time basis after spending the past three years developing in the minors.â LOS ANGELES (AP) Keith Kinkaid has always performed well against the Los Angeles Kings.Entering the crux of a six-game road trip crucial to the New Jerseyâs playoff hopes, the Devilsâ goalie tormented the Kings once again.Kinkaid stopped 38 saves for his first shutout of the season Youth Derek Stepan Jersey , helping the Devils improve their playoff positioning with a 3-0 win over the Kings on Saturday.âHeâs a big reason why weâve been able to be competitive and continue to be competitive down the stretch,â Devils coach John Hynes said. âWe need him to continue to be very good. Itâs nice to see Keith rise up. Heâs playing extremely well right now, so letâs keep going with it.âMichael Grabner, Nico Hischier and Miles Wood each scored for the Devils, who have won three straight and four of five. New Jersey remained in the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, one point behind Metropolitan Division rivals Philadelphia and Columbus Womens Jason Demers Jersey , who both won later Saturday night.Jonathan Quick made 25 saves for the Kings, who are tied with Anaheim for third in the Pacific.Kinkaid is 3-0-0 in his career against the Kings with two shutouts. He has won four consecutive starts and is 9-2-0 in his last 11.âI guess I like playing against them,â Kinkaid said with a smile when asked about facing the Kings. âThey come out real hard and we just had to weather their storm. Fortunately, we got a few good goals there and a few good breaks. ⦠Iâll take wins no matter how they come, whether itâs 8-3, 7-5 or 3-0. Any win is good right now.âKinkaidâs dominance of the Kings was especially evident in the first period when he made 19 saves Paul Thompson Jersey Womens , stopping nine shots during the Kingsâ four power-plays, including 58 seconds of 5-on-3 play.âHeâs played well against us, so we werenât surprised he played because his record against us is very good,â Kings coach John Stevens said. âI just thought we didnât do enough to make his job more difficult. We were at the net, but not taking his eyes away enough.âThe Kingsâ inability to execute on the power play was costly, with Grabnerâs short-handed goal at 8:29 of the first period giving the Devils a 1-0 lead when he intercepted Drew Doughtyâs pass at the blue line to spring his breakaway.New Jerseyâs 10 short-handed goals are tied with Florida Troy Brouwer Jersey Womens , Nashville and Edmonton for most in the NHL.It was the first short-handed goal allowed at home by the Kings this season, which leaves Carolina as the only team in the NHL that has not conceded a short-handed goal at home.âThat turned out to be the biggest play of the game,â Kings center Anze Kopitar said. âWhen you get those power play opportunities there, you want to cash in on them and we failed to do so.âThe Devils went up 2-0 on Hischierâs third goal in the last four games. The rookie center, who has five points in that span, scored on a wrist shot from the high slot. Damon Severon had an assist for the third consecutive game http://www.officialavalanche.com/authentic-adidas-...tto-jer sey , and Brian Gibbons got his third assist in two games.New Jersey had four shots in the first.âWe were obviously a little bit opportunistic there. At this time of the year it doesnât matter. Weâll take `em how we can get `em,â Devils defenseman Andy Greene said. âKeith was huge back there, PK did a really good job and really gave us momentum a couple times. Itâs just a huge, huge two points again on the road.âWood made it 3-0 at 6:06 in the third. Brian Boyle had the assist to extend his point streak to three games.NOTES: Devils F Patrick Maroon did not play because of a lower-body injury. ⦠New Jersey is 27-0-2 when leading after the second period. ⦠Los Angeles went 0 for 6 with the man advantage, matching its most chances in a game without a power-play goal this season.UP NEXTDevils: Visit the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night.Kings: Open a four-game road trip at the Minnesota Wild on Monday night.â
