VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks made Ryan Millers 300th NHL career win look easy. Dirk Nowitzki Jersey .Miller reached the milestone as the Canucks downed the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Tuesday night.It means I have been playing a while, said Miller. It feels good. Its a collection of a lot of good teams, a lot of good players over the years. Ill take a little moment to reflect. Its been a lot of fun. Just winnings fun and Ive gotten to do it quite a bit with some good guys. So Ill try and enjoy this.The Canucks (6-3-0) posted their third win in four games, while the Hurricanes (0-6-2) remained winless after their first eight games of the season. Carolina also remained without a victory in seven games in Vancouver since October 1999.Our guys were skating and pressuring the first option, said Miller, who recorded 29 saves as the Canucks were outshot 30-29. I could sit back and make reads. It makes the game a lot easier.Brad Richardsons first two goals of the season led Vancouver, with his second going into an empty net in the final minute of play.It was nice to get the zero off the board there, said Richardson. You get to that 10-game mark, you dont want to be sitting there with zeros.Linden Vey and Jannik Hansen, with the winner, also scored for the Canucks, who led 1-0 and 3-0 after the first and second periods, respectively.Jiri Tlusty broke Millers shutout bid during a scramble at the 11:05 mark of the third.We just didnt play heavy and strong enough to be able to break pucks out and go the other way, said Carolina captain Eric Staal, who earned an assist after missing five games with an upper-body injury. We just werent good enough.Vancouver went 1 for 3 on the power play while the Canes were blanked on the same number of man-advantage opportunities as they spent a lot of time defending Canucks penalty-killers.Richardson opened the scoring only 1:32 into an otherwise uneventful first period as he broke down the right wing, cut towards the goal and lifted a quick wrist shot over Carolina goalie Cam Wards glove.The third-line centre stood out after coach Willie Desjardins told his unit, which included Zack Kassian and Shawn Matthias, to get more physical. But Richardson was not impressed with his clubs overall effort.It wasnt our best game, to be honest, said Richardson. It was a little bit sleepy a lot of the times, but we scored timely goals and we won the game, so thats the big thing.However, Richardson was impressed with Miller.He kept us in the game, said Richardson. They had some good chances. Its too bad we couldnt get him the shutout.Vey put the Canucks ahead 2-0 on a power play 50 seconds into the second period. Playing the point, he skated in and fired in Vrbatas pass from the side of the net. The goal came after Daniel Sedin, standing alone in the slot, missed Vrbatas pass but the puck continued to Vey.Hansen increased Vancouvers lead to 3-0 at 18:39 of the second on a mid-air deflection of Yanick Webers point shot. Webers assist resulted after he kept an errant puck right on the blue-line and then flung it towards the net, denying Carolinas Jeff Skinner of a clear breakaway.They had a chance, we kept it in and we ended up scoring, so that was probably the difference in the game, said Desjardins.The Canucks will host Montreal on Thursday while the Hurricanes return home to face Arizona on Saturday.Notes: Vancouvers Henrik Sedin and Radim Vrbata extended their point streaks to five games as they assisted on Veys goal. … Defencemen John-Michael Liles (illness) and Ryan Murphy (lower-body injury) returned to the Hurricanes lineup after missing their last game in Edmonton.

SEATTLE -- George Springer hit the first pitch he saw in three days for a home run. The Houston rookie right fielder wasnt done, hitting another later in the game to help power the Astros past the Seattle Mariners 9-4 on Saturday night. "Thats pretty impressive, to sit out a couple games then the first pitch you see, you take it out the opposite way," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "Thats definitely good to see." Springer injured his right hip flexor on a ninth-inning pickoff play Wednesday in Anaheim. He then sat out the first two games of this series, both Seattle victories. But after Jose Altuve walked to open the game, Springer hit a 90-mph fastball from Brandon Maurer (1-3) into the right-field seats. He also connected on a 1-1 cutter from Maurer for another two-run homer in the Astros five-run sixth. He added an RBI in the sixth for a career-high five, in his 33rd big league game. Oberholtzer (1-6), recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City before the game, allowed two runs in the first, and then settled in, retiring 10 straight during one stretch. He finished with three runs allowed -- two earned -- with one walk and a career-high eight strikeouts. "He did a great job of attacking the strike zone," Porter said. "He did a good job pitching in. When he pitched his first stint here, he had gotten away from his effectiveness, on the inner-third of the plate. He got that back today and really attacked both sides." In his only other start against Seattle on Sept. 1 last season, Oberholtzer threw a complete-game shutout, allowing four hits, walking one and striking out five. He is 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA in 15 innings against Seattle. "I felt I pitched good," Oberholtzer said. "Before the game, I told myself, whatever happens, happens. Throw strikes and have fun. Its been a while since Ive had fun." Maurer went 4 1-3 innings for the Mariners, allowing six runs on six hits. He walked one and struck out two.

Justin Smoak followed with a single, loading the bases for Kyle Seager, who bounced a potential double-play grounder to first. But first baseman Marc Krauss threw wildly to second, allowing Romero and Cano to score. After Springers first homer, Maurer then retired the next 11 straight, nine on flyballs. But the Astros rocked him in the fifth. Chris Carter opened with a double to left and Alex Presley singled to right, with Carterr holding at third. Jason Kidd Jersey. Jonathan Villar bounced a grounder to Cano, who tried to start 4-6-3 double play but bobbled the ball and settled for a Presley tagout as Carter scored. Altuve singled to right and Villar, running on the pitch, scored from first to make it 4-2. Springer followed with his sixth home run on a 1-1 fastball from Maurer into the left-field bullpen. "Hes unbelievable," Springer said of Altuve. "When he goes, our offence goes. Hes always on base. Hes a big guy for us. Im happy to hit behind him and happy to play with him. He can run and with him on base, it makes it easier for me to be more selective and still aggressive. "The home runs were all on him. He got me in a good hitting count and we go from there." Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said Maurer has had "a few times where he is on a run and one thing or another goes wrong and he doesnt seem to get it back together." Asked about that, Maurer said: "I lost conviction. I wasnt throwing with confidence in my pitches. I dont know, it just went away, I guess." Tom Wilhelmsen entered and yielded an RBI single to Krauss as the Astros matched their season high for runs in an inning. It also was the most runs allowed in an inning by the Mariners this season. The Astros scored two more in the sixth, one on a wild pitch by Wilhelmsen and the other on Springers RBI groundout. Wilhelmsen had entered with a 13 2-3-inning consecutive scoreless streak. The Mariners added a run in the sixth on Michael Saunders bases-loaded groundout. In the eighth, John Bucks groundout sent Kyle Seager home from third.
