VANCOUVER Radek Faksa Jersey , British Columbia (AP) Clayton Keller is playing more like a seasoned veteran than a wide-eyed rookie.He’s also a big reason for the Arizona Coyotes‘ late-season surge.Keller scored in the first period and assisted on Derek Stepan’s winning goal with 58 seconds left in the third, leading the Coyotes to a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.”Last 12 games, he’s got a lot of juice,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. ”You can tell there’s no hitting the wall. I really feel this last month he’s going to finish strong.”Keller is fourth in the rookie scoring race with 48 points, and has four goals and eight assists since Feb. 8.”He had some energy tonight,” Tocchet said. ”He had the puck a lot. One thing is he is not afraid to go to the net and he showed that getting that goal for us and, obviously, making that play to Step.”Backup Darcy Kuemper made 16 saves in place of starter Antti Raanta, who missed the game due to injury. The victory improved Arizona to 8-2-1 in its last 11 games.”That’s one of the best games I’ve seen any team play this year,” Kuemper said. ”They were incredible start to finish Authentic Stephen Johns Jersey , we had the puck for almost the entire game down in their zone and I was just hoping my feet wouldn’t go to sleep.”Jussi Jokinen scored for the Canucks, who have lost four of their past five games and will likely be without star rookie Brock Boeser for the rest of the regular season after he injured his back against the New York Islanders on Monday night.”With Brock or without Brock, this game was far from good enough,” Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said. ”It just wasn’t good enough from each and every guy.”Jacob Markstrom stopped 32 shots for Vancouver.”It’s not our best game, for sure,” Markstrom said. ”They worked harder than us. They wanted it more than we did. And that’s pretty simple.”Tyler Motte, alone at the side of the net, missed a chance to put Vancouver ahead early in the third period as Nick Cousins deflected his shot to keep it 1-1. Motte got another chance from the slot, but Kuemper made the save.The Coyotes dominated the shot clock and finally solved Markstrom with less than a minute to play. Keller found Stepan in the slot and he buried it past Markstrom to avoid overtime.Vancouver appeared to have scored first in the opening period on a short-handed chance during an Arizona 5-on-3. With Daniel Sedin and Darren Archibald in the penalty box, Brandon Sutter sprung loose on a breakaway and appeared to go top corner on Kuemper. But video review revealed the puck had hit the crossbar.Just as Sedin’s penalty expired Youth Tyler Pitlick Jersey , Markstrom made an incredible glove save on Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s shot, but the goalie couldn’t control the puck. Keller picked it out from under defenseman Alex Edler to score at 18:20.”Pretty sure it went into my glove and I was pretty happy with myself,” Markstrom said of his initial reaction. ”But then I looked in the glove and there was nothing there. The puck was in the back of the net.”On a delayed Arizona penalty and Markstrom pulled for an extra attacker for almost a full minute, Jokinen scored his first for Vancouver with a one-timer off a corner feed from Brendan Leipsic that tied it at 1 after the first period.Arizona had the majority of chances in an uneventful second period, with the Canucks mustering only four shots on goal to the Coyotes’ nine. Vancouver’s Jake Virtanen missed on a wide-open net. At the other end, Coyotes veteran Brad Richardson hit the post on a partial breakaway.NOTES: Coyotes defenseman Alex Goligoski missed the game due to his wife expecting their second child.UP NEXTCoyotes: at Colorado on Saturday.Canucks: vs. Minnesota on Friday night. NEW YORK — The season is just two games old, but it has already been a transitional one for the New York Islanders and their new head coach, Barry Trotz. The adaptation process will continue Monday afternoon, when Robin Lehner makes his first start for the Islanders in a Columbus Day matinee against the San Jose Sharks at Barclays Center.It will be the third game of the season for both teams. The Islanders dropped their home opener Saturday, when they fell to the Nashville Predators Tyler Seguin Jersey , 4-3. Article continues below ...The Sharks last played Friday, when they earned a 3-2 overtime win over the host Los Angeles Kings.The narrow defeat for the Islanders on Saturday left Trotz — who coached the Washington Capitals to the team’s first Stanley Cup last spring — in the unfamiliar position of trying to find positives in a loss. New York, which allowed the most goals in the NHL last season (296) and lost star John Tavares to the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in July, followed up a 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday by keeping the Western Conference powerhouse Predators off the scoreboard in the third period.“I thought we had some pretty good stretches,” Trotz told reporters afterward. “Our overall game, I thought we were pretty good. I thought we handled their speed well. I thought we managed the puck a lot better than we did in Carolina.”The Sharks also felt good about themselves following the adjustments they made against the Kings, whom they limited to one goal over the final two periods and overtime while getting their first win when New York native Kevin Labanc scored 2:54 into the extra period.“I thought the third period we really pressed, and I thought we were the better team in the third,” said Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer, whose squad outshot the Kings 12-5 in the third period and overtime. “The guys played as if we needed to win this game and we found a way to do it.”Trotz said following practice Sunday that Lehner http://www.avalancheshoponline.com/authent...-kerfoot-jersey , who signed with the Islanders in July following three seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, would draw the start Monday. It will be the first regular season game for Lehner since he entered alcohol rehab and began receiving treatment for bipolar disorder last spring.“I feel I’m ready to play,” Lehner told reporters Sunday. “There are still a few things we’re working on. We’re changing a few things I’ve been doing my whole life. That’s not an overnight thing.”Lehner is 0-4-0 in four career appearances against the Sharks.Martin Jones is likely to draw his third straight start for the Sharks. Jones is 1-0-0 in two career games against the Islanders.The Sharks will be without veteran center Joe Thornton, who was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Sunday. To replace Thornton on the active roster, San Jose recalled center Dylan Gambrell from its AHL affiliate.The Islanders will be hosting a Western Conference foe on Columbus Day afternoon for the third time in four seasons since moving to Barclays Center. New York suffered a 3-2 shootout loss to the St. Louis Blues last season and beat the Winnipeg Jets, 4-2, in 2015.
