  • Press Clips November 2, 2014
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips November 2, 2014 Sabres-Penguins Preview By Jeff Bartl Associated Press October 31, 2014 Evgeni Malkin missed the entire preseason, but that hasn't stopped him from getting off to the best start of his career and being the top contributor on thePittsburgh Penguins' league-best power-play unit. He'll look to help Pittsburgh earn a fourth straight victory as it hosts the struggling Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. Malkin began practicing just two days before the Penguins' season opener as he recovered from an undisclosed injury, and said it took time to get back into game shape. The results have shown otherwise, though, as the former MVP and two-time Art Ross Trophy winner has four goals - all on the power play - and eight assists while earning a point in all nine games for Pittsburgh (6-2-1). Malkin's eight power-play points are among the most in the league for a Penguins team that leads the NHL by a wide margin. Pittsburgh has converted 39.5 percent of its opportunities with the man advantage, and it's gone 7 for 16 during the winning streak. "I just do my job," Malkin said. "We have a great line with (Pascal Dupuis) and (Blake) Comeau. We try to use each other. A good power play, too. Most (of my) points are on the power play, but still a couple chances 5 on 5." Rookie coach Mike Johnston has been impressed with Malkin's level of play after working his way back from the injury.

  • Stars Win at Blackhawks to Close Central Gap to 1 Point
    SPORTS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2016 Hong Kong’s Ng on cue to storm male bastion HONG KONG: A decade after taking up the sport because she liked her father’s outfit, Hong Kong’s Ng On Yee finds herself on the brink of snooker history as she embarks on a mission to reach the main draw of the men’s world championships. Reanne Evans made an unsuccessful bid to achieve the feat last year and Ng, who ended the Englishwoman’s 10-year reign as world champion in April, will have to beat three men to get through qualifying in Sheffield, England in April. “When my coach told me this was a possibility I was very excited to compete in this best tournament,” Ng told Reuters TV. “It will be an awesome opportunity to learn more as I always wonder what really created a gap between the men and the ladies. “I’m sure ... all the top lady players, they are very excited to see that the World Snooker Association is showing signs of mov- ing away from past traditions and opening the door for more opportunities for ladies to play in different tournaments.” The 25-year-old has come a long way since she took up the sport in her early teens, in part to avoid studying. “My father was the manager of the snooker club, and he took me with him most of the time,” Hg recalled. “One day I saw him at the competition with this uniform. And I loved this uniform very much. “And I thought it would be special if I could wear the same.

  • Postgame Notes & Quotes New York Rangers 6, Colorado
    Postgame Notes & Quotes New York Rangers 6, Colorado Avalanche 2 Saturday, Dec. 31, 2016 The Avalanche is now 3-2-1 when playing at home on New Year’s Eve and 7-5-2 overall. Tyson Barrie appeared in his 300th NHL game and with the primary assist on Cody McLeod’s first-period goal, extended his assist streak to a career high four games (6a). His current four-game point streak is just one short of his career high set Jan. 25 – Feb. 3, 2014. With his tally at the end of the first period, Blake Comeau now has 13 markers and 22 points in 30 career games against the Rangers, his highest totals against any team. Jarome Iginla skated in his 200th consecutive contest, which is the second-longest current ironman streak on the team behind Carl Soderberg (205). Cody McLeod’s goal at 1:59 of the opening period was the fastest to begin a game by an Avalanche player this season. With the win tonight, Henrik Lundqvist passed Dominik Hasek to take sole possession of 12th place on the NHL’s all-time wins list (390) and become the all-time leader in wins by a European-born goaltender in NHL history. With his second career hat trick and first of the season, Chris Kreider registered his second multi-goal game in his last four outings and team-leading eighth multi-point game of the season. He has now accumulated six goals and two assists over his current four-game point streak and finishes the month tied with Sidney Crosby for the most goals (11) scored in December.
