The Winnipeg Jets opened the second half of their NHL Preseason schedule in St. Paul, Minnesota falling 4-3 in a shootout to the Wild. Head Coach Claude Noel told TSN 1290 following the game there were a lot of positives to take seeing they trailed at one point 2-0 in the first period. “Overall in the game I thought we were a lot better. From effort, to team play I thought we defended a lot better. We didnt panic when we were down, the players knew there was lots of time in the game and just did what they needed to do to make it a game”. Brandon product Carson McMillan and Charlie Coyle had the opening goals for the Wild, who outshot the Jets 13-8. Power play goals by Eric ODell and Paul Postma, plus an even strength goal from Patrice Cormier was the offense needed in the second period to give Winnipeg a 3-2 lead heading into the third period. Ryan Suter had the lone goal of the final period. Jason Pominville scored the only goal in the shootout, which dropped the Jets record to 1-2-2 in the preseason. The Wild have now won back to back games after losing their preseason opener to Columbus. Minnesota goaltender Niklas Backstrom faced 31 shots, and was perfect on three attempts in the shootout, while Ondrej Pavelec made 33 of 36 saves. Coach Noel had high praise for Pavelec as well. “Minnesota really comes to the net hard and he had to battle to find pucks. I thought he played a strong game and showed some quickness”. Winnipeg was 2-for-4 on the power play, while Minnesota went 0-for-3. Suter led all players in the game with 28:43 of ice time. Rookie Jacob Trouba paced the Jets with 25:41. Trouba had one assist, was minus-1, had two shots on goal, three hits and one blocked shot. Dustin Byfuglien played 25:39, and had a team high six shots on goal.

LOUIS -- Joe Thornton and the San Jose Sharks won the matchup of unbeaten teams.LONDON - It has been a year of firsts for Kei Nishikori. After becoming the first Asian player to qualify for the ATP Finals, the Japanese newcomer claimed his maiden win at the elite tournament on Sunday with a first win over local favourite Andy Murray.Nishikori, who also reached his first Grand Slam final earlier this year at the U.S. Open, has turned into a major player on the Tour this season, claiming four titles to climb to fifth place in the rankings after improving the mental side of his game.I think he hasnt made big changes to technique or any of his shots particularly, but hes playing with more confidence, said Murray after his 6-4, 6-4 loss at the O2. Because of that, hes able to take more chances and be a little bit more aggressive than he was previously.The main reason behind Nishikoris breakthrough has been a change in the 24-year-old players approach when facing the top players. With the help of coach Michael Chang, the former French Open champion, Nishikori is now able to leave aside the admiration that paralyzed him on his debut on the Tour.As a result, he posted ten wins over members of the Top 10 this season and defeated Milos Raonic, SStan Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic en route to the final at Flushing Meadows.ddddddddddddAfter turning pro, I was feeling a lot of respect to everybody actually, especially top players, said the 5-foot-10 Japanese, who lives in the United States. The first time I played Roger (Federer), I could not play anything because I respected him too much. I was not going for the win actually. I was just playing tennis with my idol. That was one of the problems I had.One of the smallest players in tennis elite, Nishikori also worked hard to improve his fitness after an early career marred by injuries.Im spending more time in the gym and also on the courts, Im practicing more during the off-season, he said. Even when Im on the Tour, Im trying to do a little bit of rehab and a little bit of training.Placed in a tough Group B along with Roger Federer, Raonic and Murray, Nishikori admitted that he struggled with his nerves early on against the Scot.The stadium is huge, he said. I tried not to look up too much because there were too many people on the top. I started to feel a little bit more confident in the second set, where I was a very, very solid player. ' ' '
