DETROIT -- Jimmy Howard and Gustav Nyquist may be rebounding after each disappointed in 2015-16.Howard made 30 saves and Nyquist scored twice, helping the Detroit Red Wings beat the San Jose Sharks 3-0 on Saturday night.Howard lost the No. 1 goaltender job to Petr Mrazek last season, and Nyquist slumped to 17 goals after combining for 55 the previous two seasons.I feel like its coming there, Howard said of his game. The little things weve been working on. Little bit more patience.Howard was spectacular in a 2-1 road win over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night, and Nyquist has three goals in his last two games.Its always nice to score goals and its nice to see the team play the way we did on a back-to-back, he said. I thought we came out and skated really hard and seemed to have a lot of energy. That was good to see.The Red Wings beat the Nashville Predators 5-3 on Friday night.Andreas Athanasiou also scored for Detroit, which won its fourth straight after losing its first two games of the season.Our play. I thought we were on our game pretty good, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. The back-to-back when you dont travel, I dont think is as big a deal, but I just thought we did a real good job of getting back above the puck, creating turnovers. I thought we played real fast, I thought we attacked up the ice fast so our speed looked good.San Jose goalie Martin Jones stopped 29 shots. The defending Western Conference champions have lost three of four.We just arent dedicated to defense the way we were last year, Logan Couture said. Were not playing well, and were lucky to be 3-3-0 at this point. We just have to play better. Thats all it is.Howard got his 23rd career shutout and his first this season.Nyquist scored twice in the second period to give Detroit a 2-0 lead. He has three goals on the season.He beat Jones 4:14 in from the right circle to complete a 2-on-1 rush.

We talked about their transition game, and then we gave away the puck and played right into their hands.Athanasiou was placed in the lineup after Justin Abdelkader was a late scratch. Athanasiou scored 6:05 into the third with a slap shot from the top of the left circle off the rush that beat Jones high on the far side. It was Athanasious first goal of the season.NOTE: San Jose concluded a five-game road trip. ...

Royals Jerseys 2019 . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse.As the last of the soggy footprints were made near Lake Geneva, there was significance but not suspense.The Evian Championship did not have a taut finish like this years ANA Inspiration or KPMG Womens PGA Championship, and there was no pivotal caught-on-camera rules infraction as in the U.S. Womens Open. Even the Ricoh Womens British had tightened for a time in the final round before Ariya Jutanugarn, who had lost most of a big lead, reasserted control. The only doubt as In Gee Chun played the back nine on Sunday in Evian-les-Bains, France, was whether she would set a major championship scoring record in winning wire-to-wire.By saving par on the 18th hole at Evian Resort Golf Club, Chun made history, breaking the mark for lowest 72-hole score in relation to par not only in womens golf but bettering the mens standard too. Sure, the final major of the LPGA season was played on a vulnerable course saturated by rain -- and where Hyo Joo Kim shot a major-record 61 in 2014 -- but only seven golfers finished double-digits under par.Chun, a 22-year-old South Korean, was just in another league, shooting 21-under 263 for a 4-stroke victory over countrywomen So Yeon Ryu and Sung Hyun Park.Chuns tour de force performance surpassed the womens major record of 19 under shared by Dottie Pepper (1999 Kraft Nabisco Championship), Karen Stupples (2004 Ricoh Womens British Open), Cristie Kerr (2010 LPGA Championship) Yani Tseng (2011 LPGA Championship) and Inbee Park (2015 KPMG Womens PGA). Chun finished one stroke lower than the 20 under posted by Jason Day (2015 PGA Championship) and Henrik Stenson (2016 Open Championship). Chuns 263 score was shots better than Betsy Kings 72-hole total in the 1992 LPGA Championship.Beyond the scoring achievements, the most notable aspect of Chuns week is that it is her second LPGA win, following a surprise victory in the 2015 U.S. Womens Open, when she rallied past Amy Yang and Stacy Lewis in the final round. The only other player whose first two LPGA victories came in majors is South Korean legend Se Ri Pak, who won the LPGA Championship and U.S. Womens Open during a seven-week span in 1998. At the recent Rio Olympics, Chun tied for 13th in the womens golf competition as a member of the Republic of Korea team coached by Pak.Shes a rookie right now, but shes not really like a rookie, Ryu said of Chun, who has nine career titles on the LPGA of Korea Tour and was that circuits leading money-winner in 2015 prior to joining the LPGA in 2016.Chun got off to a solid start this season then was hurt on an escalator at the Singapore airport when the father of fellow player Ha Na Jang lost control of a piece of luggage and it tumbled into Chun. A lower-back injury caused Chun to miss three tournaments, with the incident heavily covered by Korean media and devoureed by that countrys golf fans.dddddddddddd Some of these fans believed Jangs family didnt apologize fully and that Jang celebrated too enthusiastically after winning a tournament that Chun missed because of injury.The accident and surrounding turmoil roiled Chuns rookie LPGA campaign, but she regained her mojo at the Olympics. I got my passion back at the Olympics, Chun told reporters after winning in France. Golf had become fun.The Evian victory gets the Chun narrative fully off the soap opera arc and back to what has been known since even before she won the Open at Lancaster Country Club last July: The complete player with a disarming smile could well be the heir apparent to seven-time major winner Inbee Park in the impressive chain of Korean womens stars. Although Park, who recently turned 28, won gold at Rio, she missed three 2016 majors, including the Evian, because of a thumb injury; having qualified for the LPGA Hall of Fame, she might be short of goals and eager to start a family.Chuns victory made it six consecutive years that a Korean has won at least one LPGA major title, a streak dating to Ryus win in the 2011 U.S. Womens Open.Since 1998, when Pak burst on the scene, South Koreans have won 24 womens majors compared to 23 by Americans. Dont be surprised if Sung Hyun Park, a star in her native country who led the 2016 U.S. Womens Open after 36 holes -- and like Jutanugarn wows with her power -- joins Chun in having major success during 2017.Just as the tour has week to week, the LPGA majors were mostly a youthful domain this season. U.S. Womens Open champion Brittany Lang, at 30, was by far the oldest winner. Chun completed a young quartet of champions: Lydia Ko (19, ANA Inspiration), Brooke Henderson (18, KPMG Womens PGA) and Jutanugarn (20, Ricoh Womens British). Ko didnt factor at the Evian but with a runner-up finish at the Womens PGA and tie for third at the U.S. Womens Open won the Rolex Annika Major Award (named for 10-time major champion Annika Sorenstam) for the most outstanding overall record in the five majors.Ko and Henderson were among Chuns fellow players who greeted the amiable winner after she completed the final round at Evian.I think shes an amazing ambassador for the womens game, Ko, herself quite popular with peers, told the media. You can kind of see that from her personality. Shes always smiling, and shes there for other people. I think thats why everybody really likes her, and you can see that by the many of us that came out to support her and celebrate and spray champagne [and] water on her.Back home, there no doubt were plenty of toasts with Hite beer, one of Chuns sponsors, and not for the last time either.
