CALGARY, Alberta -- Sean Monahans split-second decision sent the Calgary Flames to their second consecutive win.Monahan waited out Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk before snapping a shot over his right pad for the shootout winner as Calgary edged the Wild 3-2 on Friday night.I had no idea what I was doing, to be honest, Monahan acknowledged. I thought I was going to come in and go high blocker, but it wasnt there. Hes pretty tall, so I just tried a little move and lucky enough something opened up.Calgary goalie Chad Johnson then stopped Charlie Coyles attempt at the other end of the ice to seal the victory.Its nice when you get the lead, said Johnson, who commended Monahan. If you can get a lead in the shootout, it gives you confidence. You have a little bit more breathing room.Kris Versteeg and Mikael Backlund scored in regulation for the Flames (12-13-2), who are 4-1-1 in their past six games.Johnson made 26 saves for his second straight victory and fifth in the last six starts.Obviously, Johnny stood on his head again for us, made some big saves there in the shootout and in that third period and kept us in that game, Monahan said. Its a lot of credit to him and weve got to build some momentum here at home.Chris Stewart and Mikko Koivu scored for Minnesota (11-8-4), which is 0-1-2 in its past three games.Dubnyk finished with 30 saves, including four in overtime, before allowing goals to Versteeg and Monahan in the shootout.Were not going to overthink the skills competition, Dubnyk said. Id like to make the save, but well work on that. Those are just things you do your best and try to bear down. Obviously it feels better when you get the extra point, but I think in a game that wasnt our best -- we werent as sharp as wed like to be -- to come out with a point and get a big goal in the third is something to build on.Stewart opened the scoring at 3:50 of the first period when he redirected defenseman Jared Spurgeons shot past Johnson.The Flames pulled even at 12:26 when Versteeg backhanded a rebound past Dubnyk, who made a pad save to stop the initial point shot by defenseman Jyrki Jokipakka.Just 1:07 later during a man advantage for the Flames, Backlund tapped a loose puck in the crease into the net behind Dubnyk, who had made back-to-back saves to deny scoring attempts by Mark Giordano and Matthew Tkachuk.Although the Wild outshot Calgary 7-5 in the second, they werent able to get any pucks past Johnson, who made a nice save to stop a one-timer off the stick of Zach Parise early in the period.Koivu scored the equalizer for the Wild at 7:40 in the third when he took a pass from Jason Zucker in the slot and fired a shot to the top corner, glove side, past Johnson.Tkachuk had a great chance to score for Calgary when Alex Chiasson set him up in the slot with 6:18 left in regulation, but Koivu reached back with the shaft of his stick to deflect the puck over the net.The Flames had a power play to start overtime, but werent able to capitalize.Game notes Stewart had gone 14 games without a point and 15 games without scoring before his goal in the first period. ... Monahan extended his points streak to three games with an assist on Versteegs goal. Prior to his streak, Monahan had gone five games without a point.UP NEXTWild: At Edmonton on Sunday night.Flames: Host Anaheim on Sunday night. Kris Bryant Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. Mark Grace Jersey . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. http://www.thecubsteamshop.com/ . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Kyle Hendricks Jersey . Irving scored 23 points, Tristan Thompson had 20 points and 10 rebounds and the Cavaliers beat the Denver Nuggets 117-109 on Friday night. Ryne Sandberg Jersey . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Perhaps it was the 25 mph winds. Or the slower-than-expected hard courts. Or maybe simply that Serena Williams hadnt played a match in a month.Whatever the cause, Williams opened defense of her Olympic singles gold medal with a patchy-at-times 6-4, 6-2 victory over Australias Daria Gavrilova on Sunday, gesturing or yelling at herself as she often does when not all goes her way.Im always frustrated on the court if its not perfect, the American said.Williams had not competed since collecting her Open-era record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. Shes now won 19 of her past 20 matches.Seeded No. 1 at the Rio de Janeiro Games, Williams was hardly at her best in the 91-minute contest against Gavrilova, who is ranked 46th and only once has been past the second round at a major tournament.While that match was played in the main stadium, action was delayed because of strong winds for about 2 hours on the eight smaller Olympic courts.I was a little nervous about that, Williams said of her reaction to hearing of the gusty conditions, which she called very intense.Williams compiled 37 unforced errors to 27 winners, and got broken at love while serving for the first set at 5-3, a game that included a tremendously entertaining point.The lengthy exchange featured terrific defense by both women and ended with Williams putting a forehand into the net. Afterward, she leaned over near the net, while Gavrilova dropped to her knees on the court, letting go of her racket.ddddddddddddBut Williams broke right back in the next game to take the set.The first set, especially, was extremely tricky, Williams said, referring to the wind, but Im glad it kind of slowed down in the second a little bit, so I was able to produce better tennis.Players have noticed that the green courts in Rio play slower and offer higher bounces than hard courts used on the North American circuit leading to the U.S. Open later this month.Fortunately enough, I am a pretty good clay-court player, so Im OK with the slow courts, said Williams, a three-time French Open champion. You have to hit about three or four more shots or just play a little bit better. Its OK. Im getting used to the conditions as a whole.Later Sunday, Williams and her older sister Venus lost an Olympic doubles match for the first time. They are three-time gold medalists as a team, and entered this match with a 15-0 record at the Olympics, but were beaten 6-3, 6-4 by the Czech Republics Lucie Safarova and Barbora Strycova.On Saturday night, Venus availability for doubles was put in doubt by U.S. womens tennis coach Mary Joe Fernandez, who said the four-time gold medalist and seven-time Grand Slam champion had cramping, dehydration and an upset stomach following a first-round loss in singles.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys China NFL Gear Wholesale NFL T-shirts Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Wholesale NFL Hoodies Black China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Store China Jerseys ' ' '
