NASHVILLE -- A two-game suspension was not enough to slow down Jordin Tootoos offensive run. cheap nfl jerseys china . Tootoo had a goal and an assist to lead the Nashville Predators to a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night. Nashville has won consecutive games for the first time in nearly a month, while the Ducks have dropped three of four. Saturday night was Tootoos first game back in the Nashville lineup after sitting out for a two-game suspension for charging Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller last Saturday night. "(Kevin) Klein made a tremendous play," Tootoo said of the defencemans pass. "I was slicing through the ice and when we made eye contact, we both knew what the situation was going to be, and I got it and pulled the puck to my forehand and went top shelf." Tootoo has four goals and four assists in his past eight games. Nick Spaling and Roman Josi also scored for Nashville. Andrew Gordon and Francois Beauchemin replied for Anaheim. Josis power-play goal at 2:33 of the third gave Nashville its first lead of the game. Nashville captain Shea Weber found Josi at the centre of the blue-line, and Josi fired a slapshot over the glove of screened Anaheim goaltender Dan Ellis. "I saw the direction that he was looking at, but once it came off of his stick, I had no idea where it went," Ellis said. "I just tried to push into a space. (Patric) Hornqvist was in front doing a good screen and I just couldnt see through our guys who were trying to block it. It just found its way through." It was the Swiss defencemans first career NHL goal. "We were on the PP and I just got on the ice," Josi said. "(Weber) had the puck on the half wall and passed it to me. I saw there was a lot of traffic in front of the net, so I just shot it." Just under three minutes later, Tootoo drove in from the left side, cut toward the Anaheim goal and beat Ellis high to the glove side. Anaheim drew within one on Beauchemins goal at 13:24 of the third. Coming down from the point, Beauchemin took a pass from Teemu Selanne and beat Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne for his fourth goal of the season. "I thought it was an outstanding team game," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "It got a little closer than I wanted it to be, but other than that, they have some outstanding players. They are well-coached and we knew they were going to be really tough and hang in there until the end." Rinne is 9-2-2 in 13 career regular-season games against Anaheim. "Nashville was hungry, and theyre good in their building," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It was hard to get through. They had the puck in our zone it seemed like the whole night. Its hard to score when thats the case." Gordon scored the games first goal at 38 seconds of the second period. From below the goal-line in the Nashville zone, Brandon McMillan found Gordon on the right side, where he had a step on Josi. Gordons tough angle wrist shot beat Rinne just inside the far post. Spaling tied the game at one at 12:03 of the second. Colin Wilson carried the puck into the Anaheim zone on the left side. Spaling was trailing the play and Wilson found him in the low slot where he beat Ellis high to the stick side. Notes: Selannes assist on Beauchemins goal was his 900th point scored as a Duck. Selanne also extended his point-scoring streak to five games. ... Nashville is 6-1-1 in its past eight regular-season home games against Anaheim. Nashville coach Barry Trotz coached his 1,013th game Saturday, third among games coached with one team behind the New York Islanders Al Arbour and Buffalos Lindy Ruff. nfl jerseys china . -- The playoff-bound Oakland Athletics hadnt lost consecutive games in a month while pushing for the majors best record. wholesale jerseys .

CALGARY -- The Calgary Flames playoff push has become precarious. The Flames still hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference despite having lost two straight games, including a 4-3 defeat to league-leading Vancouver on Saturday. But the Flames hold on that position is tenuous at best at 81 points -- one point ahead of Nashville and only two points up on Anaheim. The Coyotes did Calgary a favour by beating the Ducks on Sunday night, moving Phoenix into a fourth-place tie with Los Angeles at 83 points. Dallas and Chicago are tied for fifth at 82 points. But this isnt anything new for Calgary (36-26-9), which has been everywhere from fifth to eighth over the last 10 days. Trouble is, though, the Flames have fewer remaining regular-season games than their rivals to reach the 95-point plateau they believe will land them a post-season berth. The Flames, who have endured consecutive losses in regulation for the first time since Jan. 3rd and 5th, face an important contest Tuesday night when they host Phoenix. "Weve got to watch other teams play and we most likely will be out of a playoff spot when we play our next game," Flames captain Jarome Iginla admitted. "But we were there a week or two ago too." Calgarys 44 points since Dec. 31 is a major turnaround for a team that was second-last in the conference. The Canucks (48 points), New Jersey Devils (44) and Calgary have been the NHLs hottest teams since the start of 2011. But Calgary must sustain the win-two-out-of-three pace it set for itself Dec. 23 or all that work will be for nought. "This time of year, you never want to lose back-to-back games," forward David Moss said. "If you have a slipup, you want to get right back at it and get back in the win column. "Especially where were at right now, we cant really afford to slip too much more. Were definitely going to have to buckle down here. We need points. Weve got 11 games left. Were going to have to win the majority of those to gives ourselves a chance. It starts Tuesday versus Phoenix and we go from there." Calgary hosts Colorado on Thursday before embarking on a crucial road trip through Anaheim, L.A. and San Jose. "Weve ggot to find a way to beat those teams above us," Calgary defenceman Cory Sarich said. jerseys from china . "We havent done that in our last few tries." Further complicating matters is the Flames league-leading eight shootout wins could work against them. If teams are tied on points at the end of the regular season, the club with more regulation and overtime wins is ranked ahead. The Flames werent panicking despite the two losses and their precarious playoff position. They consider it just another obstacle in the marathon test of their resiliency this season. "We deal with it and we load back up and go back at it," Iginla said. "Weve faced a lot of challenges this year. Weve fought back and people have said were done and we keep fighting back. "From our point of view, we believe we can still get there in here. There a lot of games left. The next couple days will be about getting some rest and getting sharper." Calgary squandered 2-0 and 3-2 leads against Vancouver, against whom a win would have provided both a boost in the standings as well as to the Flames psyche. The Flames have beaten the Canucks just once this season in a shootout Jan. 22. Vancouvers previous stop at the Saddledome on Dec. 1 was a 7-2 victory for the visitors. Calgarys game and confidence have improved dramatically since then, but the Canucks have been masters this season at gaining the lead by the third period and shutting the door. Daniel Sedins power-play goal with just 16 seconds left in the second was the turning point as Vancouver (45-16-9) won its fifth straight game to further solidify its position atop the NHL. Calgary caps the regular season April 9 at home versus the Canucks, who may end up resting their stars in that game for the post-season. The Flames cant count on the same luxury as should they end up eighth in the conference the Canucks could be their first-round opponent. "Besides that one game weve played them pretty tight every game," Iginla said. "I thought we actually outplayed them the last couple in Vancouver. "We definitely respect them and think theyve had a great year, but we dont think theyre that much better than us, no." ' ' '
