PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germains expensive stars again failed to deliver the flair to match the clubs huge financial outlay, so it was left to 18-year-old homegrown player Adrien Rabiot to break newly-promoted Guingamps resistance in the French league on Saturday. PSG scraped a 2-0 home win after netting twice in injury time as Rabiot came off the bench to grab his first goal for the club, and then Zlatan Ibrahimovic ended his scoring drought moments later with his first goal of a frustrating season. "It was a laborious first half, we were asleep," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said. "It should be pointed out that the players didnt give up, even with a few minutes left." It was PSGs second straight win after last weekends equally difficult 2-1 win at Nantes, another promoted club, and underlined how Blancs team has yet to play with fluidity and teamwork despite having unlimited funds to recruit top talents. "We would like to be more calm and sure of ourselves, but thats not the case," he said. Leader Marseille, which has won all three games, can restore its four-point lead over PSG if it beats visiting Monaco on Sunday night. PSG needed a handling error from visiting goalkeeper Mamadou Samassa to break the deadlock in the first minute of injury time, when Rabiot kneed the ball over the line after Samassa palmed a shot into his path. "Its my first goal for PSG," Rabiot said. "Im happy the coach gave me my chance." Two minutes later, Ibrahimovic ran onto a long pass, muscled defender Jeremy Sorbon off the ball and slotted it past Samassa for his first goal in five games this season. The win moved PSG provisionally up to second place with eight points. Earlier, seventh-placed Lyons losing streak increased to four matches after being defeated 2-1 at Evian. Striker Edinson Cavani and centre half Thiago Silva both hit the crossbar with headers from corners in the first half. Ibrahimovic had almost scored in the fourth minute with a curling free kick that hit the post, and winger Ezequiel Lavezzi missed an open goal as the rebound landed at his feet. Despite fielding three players each costing more than 40 million euros ($52.5 million), PSG failed to show any attacking flair for most of a drab first half. Rabiot pounced when Samassa tried to pat the ball down after saving a header from a corner, rather than just pushing it wide, and it slipped out of his grasp. "You have to try and give (homegrown players) some playing time," Blanc said. "If they respond well, I wont hesitate to pick them." The fact PSG threaten most from corners is indicative that its buildup play remains fairly redundant and one-paced. Guingamp has nothing like the sort of money being pumped into PSG by Qatari investors but was mostly untroubled until the 36th when Samassa was called into action. He tipped over Cavanis glancing header from a corner, then saw Silvas header come back off the crossbar from the ensuing corner, and moments later made a smart double save to deny Cavani and midfielder Thiago Motta. Cavani cost (euro)64 million ($84 million) in the fifth most expensive transfer in history and looked the most threatening player. His angled shot was scrambled off the line shortly after the break and then he volleyed wide from a tight angle in the 65th. PSG enjoyed a big reprieve in the 76th when Mustapha Yatabare went clean through on goal, only for his shot to hit goalie Salvatore Sirigus face. Meanwhile, Lyons day got worse when midfielder Yoann Gourcuff limped off at halftime clutching the back of his left thigh. Coach Remi Garde was angry with the attitude shown by his players, with five members of the starting lineup homegrown. "Of course Im worried, especially if we carry on like this," Garde said. Striker Kevin Berigaud put Evian 2-0 up at halftime before midfielder Jordan Ferri replied with his first goal in professional football. Lyon has one of the most highly reputed academies in European football and there were six more homegrown players on the bench. In Saturdays other matches, it was: Bastia 2, Toulouse 1; Lorient 1, Valenciennes 0; Reims 0, Nantes 0; Rennes 0, Lille 0, and Sochaux 0, Ajaccio 0. Striker Vincent Aboubakar scored Lorients goal, while Romania striker Claudiu Keseru and midfielder Christian Romaric scored for Bastia.

Marvin Plattenhardt Jersey . -- Center Max Unger and tight end Zach Miller are both probable for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday against the New York Giants and Percy Harvins recovery continues to be slow.NEW YORK -- Even the King at his best needed some help to keep the Kings from lifting the Stanley Cup at Madison Square Garden. Henrik Lundqvist got that in the form of season-saving plays by Anton Stralman and Derek Stepan on the goal-line and did the rest himself, willing the New York Rangers to a 2-1 victory in Game 4 of the Cup final Wednesday night to stave off elimination and forced a Game 5 back in Los Angeles. "When you play this game, you have to battle, but then you have to rely on your teammates," Lundqvist said. "Sometimes you have to rely on some luck. Tonight we had it a couple times." Lundqvist finished with 40 saves on 41 shots to extend his streak of home elimination-game wins to eight. Along the way he kept the Kings at bay with the kind of performance that his teammates have come to expect. "It was pretty self-explanatory out there," defenceman Dan Girardi said. "He was the King tonight for us, making huge saves when he had to." The most memorable saves, though, came from Stralman in the first period and Stepan with just over a minute left in the third. Midway through the first period with the Rangers up 1-0 on a deflection goal by Benoit Pouliot, Kings defenceman Alec Martinez thought he had scored. Instead, Stralman batted the puck off the goal-line after first lifting Jeff Carters stick out of the way. "I just saw the puck and all I tried to do basically was get the stick out, and obviously the puck as well," Stralman said. "Its one of those things, you need a little luck to kind of succeed with." Luck, some quick reflexes and enough wherewithal not to knock the puck in while trying to avoid what couldve been a disastrous goal against for the Rangers. "A lot of times you start panicking and you end up whacking it in your own net, and we did a good job of being calm when it was sitting there, and getting it back underneath Hank for a whistle," Rangers defenceman Marc Staal said. "If they get that one, they have that momentum, and we were able to make a stand long enough that they didnt." The one-goal lead that stood up thanks to Stralman became two, New Yorks fifth of that kind in this Cup final, when Martin St. Louis scored 6:27 into the second. A bad bounce in a series full of them for the Rangers led to Kings captain Dustin Brown scoring just two minutes 19 seconds later. The knob of Girardis stick appeared to break, springing Brown for the breakaway goal at 8:46. After the Rangers blew two-goal leads in each of Games 1 and 2, Lundqvist couldnt help but think, "Here we go again." From that point on, the Rangers just tried to hang on. They were outshot 27-6 from the point St. Louis scored to make it 2-0 until the clock hit zeros at the end of the third. "Youre trying to tell your players not to play on their heels, keep managing the puck, lets make plays," relieved coach Alain Vigneault said. "They came at us real hard. Fortunately we were able to stand tall, bend not break. When we did bend a little bit more, our goaltender made some big saves." Then Stepan saved the hockey season with 1:11 left in the third. Again Martinez put the puck on net for a scoring chance that probably should have gone in, and after Tanner Pearson deflected it under Lundqvist it rolled slowly through the crease until it stopped centimetres from the line. It was the snow that stopped the puck there. And while Vigneault joked, "Thank God for soft ice now and then," Lundqvist had an explanation for what felt like a miracle on 33rd Street. "Its probably the product of moving a lot," said Lundqvist, who made 15 third-period saves while New York managed just one shot. "I stay deep in the net, so theres a lot of snow there." Lundqvist was yelling at Wes McCauley to blow his whistle, but the referee whos considered one of, if not the best, in the NHL had perfect positioning and saw the puck the entire time. "Then I realized it was behind me for a couple seconds," Lundqvist said.dddddddddddd "I actually apologized. But he was cool about it." Stepan was even cooler under that pressure. Knowing full well he couldnt cover the puck with his hand, lest a penalty shot be awarded, the Rangers centre used his glove to sweep it under Lundqvist just as Stralman did earlier with his stick. "Those are the big plays we need at certain moments to keep the momentum or shift the momentum," Stepan said. "Obviously, I just dont want it to go in the net. I was just trying to do whatever I can to stop it." Stepan used the word of the night to describe that play: lucky. Drew Doughty probably had a different reaction when he looked up to the video screen to see what happened. "There were two like that tonight," Doughty said. "That was the difference in the game." For days the Rangers expressed confidence in their own play at the same time as they lamented not getting breaks in this series. Bounces cost them in overtime in Los Angeles and even in the 3-0 loss in Game 3. This time it was Pearson saying that the Kings were "that close. If we put those in or tap those in, its a whole different hockey game." Instead, it was the Rangers eighth straight victory when facing elimination at home. And it was the kind of win that had Vigneault hoping it was just the start of more. "We got a few bounces," Vigneault said. "You need those. Maybe the luck is changing a little bit." But this wasnt just luck. It was Lundqvist. The 32-year-old entered the night with a 0.98 goals-against average and .967 save percentage in the previous seven elimination possibilities at the Garden. Theres just something about these situations that brings out the best in Lundqvist. "When everything is on the line, you just have to challenge yourself the right way, I guess, as a team and personally," he said. "You have to go out there and leave everything out there and be extremely focused. One mistake and the season is over. Youre definitely aware of that." Lundqvist didnt make mistakes and in the process at least delayed the Kings party until Friday, when Game 5 takes place at Staples Center. Had Los Angeles finished off the sweep, it wouldve marked the second Cup in franchise history on the two-year anniversary of the first. "It is an opportunity lost," Brown said. It was actually an opportunity Lundqvist yearned to take away from the Kings. No team had been swept in the Cup final since the 1998 Washington Capitals, and it wouldve been the first time a visiting team celebrated this championship at the Garden since 1972. "We didnt want to see the Cup coming out on our home ice tonight," Lundqvist said. "Yeah, just the thought of it makes me feel sick." Instead of feeling sick, the Rangers feel alive. Theyre facing the same three games to one series deficit they came back from two rounds ago against the Pittsburgh Penguins and have some life. Thanks to luck -- and Lundqvist. "Hes a great goalie and a big part of our success," St. Louis said. "For us, we believe in him. Hes a big reason why were here."
