with a six-game losing streak as well as a 10-game skid in road games dating back to mid-November http://www.officialcoyotes.com/authentic-adidas-oliver-ekman-larsson-jersey , the Nashville Predators finally found their slump-buster.The team which made fathers’ trips a common thing in the NHL brought their moms along, and with their biggest cheerleaders looking on from two boxes at the Verizon Center, Nashville pumped five straight goals by Braden Holtby to erase a quick 3-1 deficit and win 6-3.“Growing up, you fall and you get a boo-boo, who do you run to? Mom,” forward Rocco Grimaldi said. “We’re on a six-game losing streak, we’re kind of hurting and banged up, who do we need to come running to? Mom.Article continues below ...“It was a great win by our team, especially going down 3-1.”Having derived inspiration from their mothers, the Predators now try for back-to-back wins Tuesday night when they start the 2019 portion of their schedule in Bridgestone Arena against the Philadelphia Flyers.Nashville (23-15-2) finally found the back of the net with some regularity for the first time in a while. During its six-game losing streak, it managed just 10 goals Richard Panik Jersey , getting shut out Thursday night by Dallas’ Anton Khudobin despite putting 49 shots on net.For the first time in weeks, the Predators didn’t display hands of clay around the net. They buried opportunities, and didn’t give up momentum-killing goals after their scores.“We competed really well,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “We played a good game offensively, we were opportunistic and did what we needed to do. Coming from behind a couple of times down by two goals is also a good thing … so lots of positives to pull from today.”Making it even more meaningful was the depth scoring the Predators received. Grimaldi, Miikka Salomaki and Frederick Gaudreau provided unexpected goals. With the team up 4-3 midway through the third period, defenseman Ryan Ellis produced just his fourth marker to create separation.The arrival of Philadelphia in town would seem to give Nashville a decent chance to earn another two points. The Flyers (15-18-5) fell 3-1 Monday night in Carolina, dropping them into last place in the Metropolitan Division and giving them their eighth loss in 11 games.It was a particularly rough night for goalie Carter Hart, making his fifth NHL start. Hart ceded three goals on just 10 shots before getting the hook just 2:19 into the second period after Andrei Svechnikov beat him.“I’m just going to put it behind me,” Hart said to philly.com. “Learn from it. Put it in the archives and get better. We came out and played hard at the start, and I wasn’t up to the challenge.”Philadelphia is 3-3-1 under interim coach Scott Gordon Womens Shane Doan Jersey , who was brought up from its AHL club in Lehigh Valley when Dave Hakstol got the axe following an 0-3-1 road swing through western Canada. The Flyers are 1-2-1 heading into the finale of a five-game road trip.The teams met on December 20 in Philadelphia, where Hart stopped 31 shots in a 2-1 victory. SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers are hoping for deja vu.Sort of.A year ago, the Panthers shook off a disastrous start to the season and caught fire after the All-Star break — only to miss the playoffs by a single point. This year, they’re heading into the break on a three-game winning streak and playing perhaps their best hockey of the season after spending the first three months of the year sputtering near the bottom of the NHL.So here they go again, trying for another late and improbable playoff push.“We have that confidence back, that swagger,” goaltender Roberto Luongo said after a 6-2 win over San Jose on Monday night.They’ll need more than swagger.The Panthers were 24-8-2 in the final 34 games last season, getting 50 of a possible 68 points down the stretch. This year, with 34 games left when they return to the ice on Feb. 1, they’ll need a similar run. Florida is 10 points out of the final wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference Anders Bjork Jersey , and 11 points from catching Boston for the third and final guaranteed playoff spot out of the Atlantic Division.“I think we are starting to turn the corner,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said. “We have a long way to go.”As unlikely as it seems — especially for the Panthers, an often-woebegone franchise that hasn’t won a playoff series since 1996 — there is a potential path to the postseason.Florida (20-20-8) has 12 games between Feb. 1 and Feb. 23, and 11 of those are on home ice. That’s the good news. The flip side is this: Of those 12, eight are against teams that are currently in the top half of the NHL, including matchups with Tampa Bay, Nashville, Washington, Pittsburgh and Vegas quickly after the All-Star break ends.“It’s nice to be back to feeling the way I like to feel and the confidence is there,” said Luongo, who has won consecutive starts for the first time in more than a month. “The guys are playing well in front of me. It’s a two-way street. When the guys play well I feel good and when I feel good the guys play well.”There is a clear urgency Bobby Orr Jersey , and it started last week with the team on what was then a seven-game losing skid.Florida was without Vincent Trocheck for 27 games after he broke his right ankle in November. When he returned to practice last week, the Panthers’ plan was to keep him out until after the break in order to make sure he was fully ready to go.Trocheck successfully argued otherwise. Not only did he play in three games since returning to practice — in a four-day span, no less — the Panthers went 3-0-0 in those games, clearly sparked by his comeback.“We’re having fun,” said Trocheck, who has two goals and two assists since returning. “It’s fun to win some hockey games. It’s been tough for us this year in that department. To go into a break like this with a little bit of momentum, having some fun, it’s going to make a big difference for the second half.”
