WINNIPEG - Mark Scheifele has had some great scoring chances this season and he was finally rewarded with just his second goal — the winner in a 3-1 decision over the visiting Nashville Predators on Tuesday.He tried to minimize the importance of goal No. 2 behind the impact of Winnipegs (7-5-1) third win on home ice this season. But pushed once more about whether it was a relief, he had to smile.Yeah, a little bit, I think it definitely felt good, to get it right off the start and get it on the power play, it was good, but it was a great team effort by everybody, he said.Scheifeles goal at 5:29 of the first period was the second of two power-play goals the Jets scored in a span of less than three minutes. The first was scored by Andrew Ladd at 2:53.Their third goal was scored in the final minutes into an empty net by Blake Wheeler and moved the winger into a three-way tie with Ladd and Bryan Little for the Jets goal-scoring lead at five apiece.Ondrej Pavelecs goaltending and Winnipegs penalty kill were also huge as Nashville (7-3-2) put on the pressure to try and get back in the game after falling behind early.We made a lot of key stops in the third period, said Scheifele. I think we killed two huge penalties. It just shows the hard work and sacrifice of everyone.Nashville head coach Peter Laviolette said those two quick goals were hard to overcome.I really liked the way we started, he said, sporting a scab above his right eye from a stray puck he took to the face in the first period.The first three minutes we were down in their end and we were pounding and we ended up taking a penalty and a quick goal and two minutes later another penalty and a quick goal and its 2-0 and youve got to dig yourself out of a massive hole.Filip Forsberg scored Nashvilles only goal.I didnt think we played that bad, he said. Obviously they got those two goals at the start. Its tough to get back from that but I think we played hard . . . we just have to get a couple of more bodies in front (of the net).Theres a lot good goalies in this league and I think Pavelec, hes one of them and youve just got take his size away a little bit.Pavelec and backup Michael Hutchinson, who earned one of two back-to-back shutouts on the road last week, also set a new franchise record for stinginess Tuesday night.With back-to-back shutouts in New York and Chicago, theyd gone 161 minutes 17 seconds without allowing a goal, until Forsberg connected at 16:17 of the second period with his fourth goal and 12th point this season.Until then, Winnipeg hadnt been scored on since Oct. 30 in New Jersey.The power play goals were huge in the first and we killed the penalties at the right time, said Pavelec.Weve been way better defensively the whole season long.Coach Paul Maurice agreed. He said the team is doing a better job dealing with adversity and handling tight situations — especially late in their games.Its certainly not a matter of sitting back in the third, were looking for that next goal, he said.I think weve worked hard at getting rid of the notion that the best thing we can do is try to score every time we touch the puck. Just take care of the 10 feet of ice thats around you.The Predators rested Pekka Rinne and started backup Carter Hutton for the second time this season.Hutton didnt have much chance on Ladds goal as he deflected a hard shot from Dustin Byfuglien into the net and Scheifele put a wrister through heavy traffic.The power plays in the first were killers, he agreed.We know they have a lot of dangerous forwards, he said. Obviously back-to-back, we cant give those up. Our penalty kill has to be better, all around, from goaltending to everybody.The win was also sweet for the Jets after being shut out by the Predators 2-0 in Winnipegs home opener Oct. 17.Notes: The old franchise record for not giving up a goal was 151:55 minutes, set over four games from Dec. 22-28, 2005, when they were still the Atlanta Thrashers.

WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were back on the field Monday for the first time since they fell 26-3 to the Edmonton Eskimos last week, their first loss of the season, and with five quarterbacks throwing balls it looked at times like training camp all over. In some ways, maybe it is, because the Bombers know they have to find ways to correct flaws in their game that Mike Reilly and the Eskimos did a very handy job of exploiting. "It might have been a little bit of a wake-up call," said Winnipeg quarterback Drew Willy, who was sacked five times as his offence was held to just one field goal. "Obviously they are a good defence but we need to play better over all to give our defence a chance, because they played really well." And a lot. Winnipegs defence was on the field for more than 38 minutes, their offence just over 21 in the lopsided game that went bad early. It isnt encouraging that two key starters on that defence could be missing in action when the Bombers visit the B.C. Lions on Friday. Coach Mike OShea says defensive back Johnny Sears and lineman Jason Vega are doubtful. He says Sears has a hamstring issue that will be evaluated later in the week while Vega has a few ailments that likely will keep him off the field. The coach wasnt pushing the panic button, however. "Weve also got guys that have been practising very, very hard behind them," he said. "Were set up nicely depth-wise on defence, thats for sure." On Monday, the Bombers also shuffled players on their offensive line and they got their newest quarterback into the game, as Josh Portis learns Winnipegs offence. He was picked up last week from the Toronto Argonauts to add CFL experience to their backup pool. "Ive learned a lot, being in Toronto," Portis said after practice, praising Ricky Ray as a great teacher. "The game is different up here," he added. "Youve just got to pay attention to small details and the dimensions of the game, the angles of the game are a little different." With Mason Mills on Winnipegs practice rroster, plus backups Robert Marve and Brian Brohm, who have been around since rookie camp, the Bombers now have five pivots.dddddddddddd Receiver Aaron Kelly was practising again Monday and says he feels fine after being sidelined last week with a swollen knee, but OShea says they will also decide whether hes ready to return later in the week. While the Bombers are coming off that 26-3 home loss to Edmonton, the Lions are riding high after their 41-5 thumping of the Montreal Alouettes. This Friday also has been officially declared Geroy Simon Day in Vancouver, to honour the receiver who helped lead the Lions to two Grey Cups and added one more ring to his collection with the Saskatchewan Roughriders last year before retiring. Simon, who spent his first two seasons with the Bombers before joining B.C., is the CFLs all-time career leader in receiving yards with 16,352, ranks first in pass receptions with 1,029 and third in touchdown receptions with 103. The Bombers also added two more players to their practice roster Monday, international running back Sam McGuffie and Canadian linebacker Kyle Jones. Jones is in his sixth season in the CFL, with stints in Hamilton, B.C. and Toronto. He has a career 34 special teams tackles and seven defensive tackles. "Not only can he play special teams and do that well for you, he can get you out of a game in a lot of different spots," said OShea, Torontos former special teams co-ordinator before he took over the Bombers., "One thing he cant do is snap to himself, hold it and kick his own field goal. But I havent asked him to do that, so maybe he can." Thay may not be a talent he needs in Winnipeg. Rookie kicker Liram Hajrullahu was pressed into handling punting duties for the Bombers last week as well, after Mike Renaud injured himself during practice. The Bombers didnt suffer for the switch, with his 10 punts averaging just over 45 yards, a little better than Renaud this season. Hajrullahu says he feels comfortable handling both but wants to get better at punting, which is more complicated. ' ' '
