ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Shots were at a premium for the Abbotsford Heat on Friday night, but Corban Knight made no mistake in making the most of his. The 23-year-old rookie notched a hat trick in Abbotsfords 6-3 victory over the visiting Rockford IceHogs, despite being outshot 48-18 in the American Hockey League matchup. Although Knight admitted his goals werent the most highlight-reel type of goals, he made them count when he got the chance. "It was definitely a relief to get that first one," Knight said. "Then after that it was just kind of one of those nights where things were kind of going well for me offensively … You look at my goals and none of them were really that flashy, so it was just nice to get that off my back and contribute offensively for my team." Knight said his first professional hat trick couldnt have happened without the help of his linemates Sven Baertschi and Tim Miller. "Baertschis been putting up a lot of points and producing offensively," said Knight. "(Millers) the kind of guy where he just brings his lunch pail and just works hard and gets a lot of pucks back. Tonight it was just kind of clicking for us." Miller said theres no mistaking the dynamic between Knight and Baertschi on the ice. "I got the notice in the pre-game skate that I was going to play with those guys," Miller said. "You can tell the talent those two have out there. Its my job to still play physical, try to create room for them in the offensive zone and get to the net." Knight scored back-to-back goals in the first period. The High River, Alta., native tipped a shot from Max Reinhart over Jason LaBarberas left shoulder to give his team a 2-1 edge on the power play at 16:40 of the first period. His second goal came just over a minute later at 18:04 as Miller took advantage on a Rockford turnover in the IceHogs zone, feeding the puck across the crease to Knight, who buried it short side. Baertschi had two goals and three assists for Abbotsford (38-25-7), while Miller picked up a goal and two helpers. "That line had an opportunistic night — they did a good job finishing," said Abbotsford head coach Troy Ward. "We thought Miller was our best player … I thought he had his best game by far for the Heat. He just opens up space for those other guys. He played honest, he played hard, and he gives Corban and Sven some space." Joni Ortio stopped 45 of the 48 shots he faced in the victory. "He made some big time saves at really important times, so he was huge for us tonight," Knight said. "I dont think we wouldve won that game without him playing the way he did." Mark McNeill and Alex Broadhurst each had a goal and an assist for Rockford (33-27-9). LaBarbera allowed four goals on 12 shots in the loss, while Kent Simpson stopped five shots in a relief effort. "It was a tough night and kind of weird game out there," said Knight. "The feel of the game was just weird, but fortunately we got the win, so well put it behind us and get ready for tomorrow." McNeill opened the scoring at 3:05 of the first as he powered around Abbotsfords Zach Davies, cut to the crease and roofed it over Ortios glove. Broadhurst and Klas Dahlbeck picked up assists. At 11:25 of the first, Miller picked up Heat captain Dean Arsenes point shot and buried the rebound into an open net to tie the game. Less than a minute into the second period, Alex Broadhurst received a Terry Broadhurst pass from behind the net and quickly put it past the outstretched left pad of Ortio. Knight scored his hat trick goal at 7:28 of the second, flipping the puck on net from behind the goal-line, and squeaking it just between the goal post and LaBarberas left shoulder. Baertschi added to Abbotsfords lead by feeding an intended pass through the crease that deflected off of a Rockford defender at 13:49 of the second. The IceHogs responded on the power play at 16:21 as Brian Connelly fed Adam Clendening at the point, who then fired it through traffic to cut Abbotsfords lead to 5-3. Baertschi added an empty-net goal from centre ice with 0:41 remaining in the game. Adidas Futurecraft 4d Kopen .

Barea during a three-game shooting slump that was getting him booed off his home court with regularity.The arena dubbed The Shark Tank has been one of the NHLs most feared stops in recent years with the San Jose Sharks regularly playing their best hockey on home ice. Their results at home this season have been nothing short of streaky. Viewers in the Leafs region can watch the game on TSN4 starting at 10pm et. San Jose looks to avoid a fourth consecutive home loss as it begins a seven-game homestand Thursday night against the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sharks (23-16-5) havent suffered more than 12 regulation home losses in a season since posting 13 in 2007-08. They went 29-7-5 at SAP Center last season, but have already matched that regulation loss total with a 10-7-2 mark in 14-15. San Jose dropped six of its first eight at home and followed that stretch with an eight-game win streak before being outscored 13-4 during the current home skid. After falling 3-1 at home to the New York Rangers on Saturday, San Jose got a rare goal from defenseman Brenden Dillon in the third period for a 3-2 win at Arizona on Tuesday. Any win is a good win, no matter how you get it, coach Todd McLellan said. Putting points in the bank is essential at this time of the year, and it will eventually get to the point where if you can keep winning, other teams will run out of time. We have to do our own work. The Sharks are just 4-5-1 overall following a season-best five-game winning streak, but theyve remained confident even while allowing the first goal in four straight. When we fall down early, the guys dont quit and we keep going, said Joe Pavelski, who scored against the Coyotes and has five goals and tthree assists over his last seven.dddddddddddd It was good to cash in quickly there in the second (period Tuesday) and know that we were all ready to go. There were good chances. Pavelski had two goals and an assist, and Joe Thornton added three assists in a 6-2 home win over Toronto in the most recent meeting March 11 that was the Sharks third straight victory in the series. This trip to San Jose may be just as difficult for the Maple Leafs (22-19-3) if they cant find their offense. Theyve been outscored 14-2 during a four-game road skid and havent found the net to start a four-game trip, falling 2-0 to Los Angeles on Monday before Wednesdays 4-0 loss to Anaheim. Toronto has lost five of six overall and fell to 1-3-0 under interim coach Peter Horachek, who took over for the fired Randy Carlyle on Jan. 6. We have a lot of firepower, (and) we will find ways to score, forward James van Riemsdyk said. If you look at the games, the scoring chances have been pretty even the last couple here. Were pretty happy with our process. We just have to capitalize on our chances. Jonathan Bernier made 21 saves against the Ducks, leaving the possibility that James Reimer could start in net to complete the back-to-back set. Reimer, though, has a 4.30 goals-against average while dropping four straight starts - all on the road - with the most recent a 5-1 loss to Winnipeg on Jan. 3. Antti Niemi has posted a 1.67 GAA in his last three starts against the Leafs and is likely to be in net for this contest. He made 27 saves against Arizona after going 1-3-0 with a 4.56 GAA in his first four starts of 2015. ' ' '
