GLENDALE Erik Condra Jersey Womens , Ariz. (AP) Jacob Markstrom’s first start in five games was a successful one, and his 42 saves helped the Vancouver Canucks beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-1 on Sunday night.Daniel Sedin broke a tie with 8:17 to play by scoring his second goal of the game, giving Markstrom his first win in two weeks. On the winner, Sedin tipped in a long shot from Brock Boeser for his 18th goal of the season.Darren Archibald scored a short-handed goal with 5:52 to go to help Vancouver win for the second time in six games.Markstrom gave up four goals the last time he played, Feb. 14 against Florida.”I only played one period, so it’s been frustrating having that as the last game I played,” he said. ”I wanted to erase that from my memory.”The Canucks spoiled the debut of new Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper, who arrived in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday. Kuemper made 24 saves.”We’re playing better as a team and it makes it easier for all of us,” Sedin said.Vancouver held a 1-0 lead until midway through the third period on Sedin’s early goal. But the Coyotes ended an 0-for-17 power-play drought that spanned four games with Alex Goligoski’s goal at 9:18 of the third.Goligoski put in a rebound for his ninth goal of the season.The Canucks responded quickly with Sedin’s goal, then Brandon Sutter got free on a Coyotes power play, found Archibald on the wing and he put away his second of the season.The Canucks got a big break when a Coyotes goal 43 seconds into the game was disallowed by a goaltender interference penalty against Brad Richardson. He collided with Markstrom in the net as teammate Nick Cousins’ shot went in.Vancouver scored on the resulting power play with some crisp passing. Henrik Sedin found Derrick Pouliot, who tapped the puck over to Daniel Sedin for a clear shot. Kuemper was too far to the other side to stop the puck and Daniel Sedin had his first goal at 2:16 of the first.”That was a double whammy for us,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said.Henrik Sedin picked up his team-leading 38th assist of the season. The Canucks have a power-play goal in three straight games.The second period featured saves by each goalie on breakaways. Kuemper turned away Canucks center Bo Horvat’s attempt Carl Soderberg Jersey , and a few minutes later, at the 8:26 mark, Markstrom stopped Clayton Keller’s open drive.”Getting that first game under my belt, I feel more a part of it now and a part of the group now,” Kuemper said.The Canucks improved to 4-4 in the second of back-to-back games this season, while Arizona is 1-7-2.NOTES: It was the first of four meetings between the teams.

Rust ended it when his 13th goal of the season gave the Penguins their first sweep of Philadelphia since 2007 in what could be a playoff preview.Crosby’s second otherworldly goal in a week gave the Penguins the lead 17 seconds into the third period. The two-time MVP scored on an intentional double tap against Montreal last Wednesday. That one showcased his exquisite hand-eye coordination.This one showcased his strength.Crosby collected the puck high in the Philadelphia zone, used his left hand to keep Couturier at bay while using his right to dangle the puck before he skated to the left dot and ripped a wrist shot over Philadelphia defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and Mrazek’s glove.”I was trying to skate into space, get open and just kind of watching him do his thing,” Rust said. ”I’m not surprised. He is who he is for a reason.”Couturier exacted a bit of revenge when he knotted it late to assure the Flyers of at least a point to pull them into a third-place tie with Columbus.”It’s a big point,” Couturier said. ”We played a pretty good game overall. For sure, it’s disappointing not coming out of here with two points http://www.officialavalanche.com/authentic-adidas-j.t.-compher-jersey , but we can build on this and maybe do a little better in little areas. Overall, I think we can build on this and keep going.”Evgeni Malkin scored his 42nd goal for Pittsburgh, pulling within two of the NHL lead held by Washington’s Alex Ovechkin. Patric Hornqvist and Derick Brassard also scored for Pittsburgh. Justin Schultz had three assists for the Penguins. Matt Murray finished with 41 saves.Rookie Travis Sanheim picked up his second career goal for the Flyers. Brandon Manning and Jordan Weal also scored. Starting goaltender Alex Lyon was pulled early in the second period after giving up three goals on 11 shots. Mrazek made 19 saves, but couldn’t get a glove on Rust’s winner.The erratic Flyers fell to 4-6-3 in March after going 10-1-2 in February and have struggled keeping their cross-state rivals in check this season. Pittsburgh scored five goals in all four season meetings, outscoring Philadelphia 20-12.Considering how crowded the division standings are with two weeks to go in the regular season, a first-round playoff meeting isn’t out of the question.If it happens, it could match the wide-open postseason clash in which the clubs scored 56 goals in six games as Philadelphia pulled off an upset in 2012.Pittsburgh’s play in the defensive end isn’t quite the hot mess it was six years ago, but the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions have struggled with consistency of late and had serious issues – particularly backchecking by the forwards – in keeping the puck out of their end at times.The Penguins have allowed an average of 37.4 shots over their past six games, a number they understand needs to go down if they want to have a realistic shot at a three-peat.”We have moments where I thought we were playing the game the right way,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. ”And then there were moments where we weren’t. It’s finding that consistency that’s going to make us a stiffer team or a stingier team to play against.”NOTES: The Flyers went 1 for 3 on the power play. Pittsburgh went 1 for 2. … The Penguins scratched D Matt Hunwick and Fs Carter Rowney and Zach Aston-Reese. … D Robert Hagg and Fs Taylor Leier and Dale Weise were healthy scratches for Philadelphia.UP NEXTFlyers: Continue three-game road trip in Dallas on Tuesday.
