had quite a debut with the New York Islanders in his first regular-season game in more than six months.Lehner stopped 35 shots for his ninth career shutout Youth Evgeni Malkin Jersey , leading the Islanders to a 4-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Monday.“It was a really good game, a fun game to play,” he said. “I was a little bit nervous at the beginning, to be honest. Then we got a couple of easy ones right from the start to kind of get us settled down a little bit.”Lehner, who signed with the Islanders in July, played for the first time since last March 29 for Buffalo. He left that game against Detroit because of a panic attack and was subsequently treated for alcohol and drug addiction and also diagnosed with bipolar disorder, ADHD and PTSD.“I try to just move forward here, but obviously a little bit special,” said Lehner, who was 14-26-9 with three shutouts and a 3.01 goals-against average for the Sabres last season. “I felt real good back in the game again, doing what I love, perfectly healthy. Feel better to have it done, and just start a new chapter with a new team in a new city.”Anders Lee, Scott Mayfield, Matt Martin and Casey Cizikas scored to help New York get new coach Barry Trotz his first win at home. The Islanders Jake Guentzel Jersey Kids , who opened the season with an overtime win at Carolina last Thursday, then lost their home opener to Nashville two nights later.With New York leading 3-0, Lehner denied Tomas Hertl on the doorstep with 1:40 left to preserve the shutout and get his first win against the Sharks after coming in 0-4 with a 3.33 GAA in four games against them.“I thought he was solid,” Trotz said of Lehner. “I thought our team was solid. Talk about a team win, you had everybody in the right place. You had skill guys score on the power play, You had your penalty-killers and your guys defending with commitment at the end and then you had Robn making good saves.Cizikas added a short-handed empty-netter with 56 seconds left to cap the scoring.Martin Jones finished with 26 saves for San Jose, which has lost two of its first three games.“They played a desperate game,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. “They blocked shots. They were heavy. … And you have to give their goalie credit. He made big saves at the right time.”The Islanders got on the scoreboard late in a second period in which they outshot the Sharks 12-8. San Jose came up empty on two power plays before New York broke through on its man advantage as Lee knocked in the rebound of Josh Bailey’s shot from the right circle for his second at 14:34. It gave Lee a power-play goal for the second straight game, and New York its third in three.San Jose went 0 for 4 on the power play to fall to 0 for 10 on the season. New York has not allowed a power-play goal on its opponents’ eight chances this season.“Our PK, I think we were in trouble quite a bit with too many penalties,” Lee said, “but all the boys sacrificed themselves, made some great plays and credit really is to Robin. He played outstanding.”Mayfield, making his season debut after being a healthy scratch the first two games, made it 2-0 at 5:16 of the third as he deflected a wrist shot by Cizikas.Martin http://www.officialpenguinsproshop.com/authentic-adidas-justin-schultz-jersey , back in New York this season after spending two years in Toronto, got his first goal since last December with just under seven minutes left.“All four lines playing smart, playing hard and having a little bite to our game,” he said. “Everybody pulled the rope forward tonight and it was a big win for our club.”Lehner had two nice stops on San Jose’s power play in the first period, denying Joe Pavelski’s tip try and making a glove save on Logan Couture.NOTES: DeBoer said the swelling in C Joe Thornton’s right knee is due to an infection. Thornton, who had surgery on the knee, was placed on injured reserve during the weekend and did not accompany the team on its four-game swing to the East. There is no timetable for his return. … San Jose RW Timo Meier celebrated his 22nd birthday. … The teams conclude their two-game season series Oct. 20 at San Jose. … Lee got his eighth goal and 10th point in nine games against the Sharks. … Martin got his first goal and point in his 13th game against San Jose.UP NEXTSharks: At Philadelphia on Tuesday night in middle game of five-game trip.Islanders: At Nashville on Saturday night in opener of a four-game trip. OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Matt Duchene’s first game as a father couldn’t have gone much better.He even got to celebrate among old friends.Duchene had two goals and an assist against his former club, and the Ottawa Senators beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Wednesday night.Duchene had missed the previous three games as his wife Ashley gave birth to the couple’s first son, Beau. It was also his fourth game against the Avalanche since being traded to Ottawa in November 2017. He also scored twice in Denver on Oct. 26.“It’s a very special feeling,” Duchene said. “My main focus coming in today was to just try and meld back into the lineup the best I could and fit in with what the guys had been doing on the road. They had been playing so well.”Brady Tkachuk, Mark Stone and Ryan Dzingel also scored for the Senators, and Anders Nilsson made 30 saves. It was Ottawa’s first win at home since Dec. 17.Nikita Zadorov and Nathan MacKinnon scored for the Avalanche, who wrapped up a five-game trip. Semyon Varlamov stopped 26 shots.It was a difficult trip for the Avalanche, as they finished with a 1-4-0 record.“It’s a disappointing road trip because I thought we started it playing some good hockey and didn’t get rewarded Kris Letang Jersey ,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “I didn’t like our game in Montreal, really liked it in Toronto and not ready to play (Wednesday).”Duchene put the Senators ahead 4-1 with his 19th goal of the season midway through the third period. Zack Smith had fired a puck that went wide of the net off the back boards, and Duchene picked it up and scored short side.The Avalanche appeared to cut the lead in half minutes later, but it was waived off upon review because the left post was off the mooring.MacKinnon had a power-play goal with four minutes remaining and Varlamov on the bench for the two-man advantage. The Avalanche had another opportunity after Christian Jaros sent the puck over the glass, but Colorado couldn’t capitalize. Duchene scored into an empty net with 1:02 left.Ottawa has won three of its past four games, and now it has Duchene and Thomas Chabot back in the lineup. Chabot returned after missing the last eight games with an upper-body injury.“A guy like that makes plays that can win games,” coach Guy Boucher said. “Even when he doesn’t have a goal or a point, it’s the minutes he plays, the neutral zone transitions, play in the offensive zone, momentum, you can’t measure his impact. That’s why when you lose a guy like that it’s gigantic.”NOTES: Nick Paul was a healthy scratch for the Senators. … Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson missed his 11th straight game due to a concussion.UP NEXTAvalanche: Return home to face the Kings on Saturday.Senators: Play at Carolina on Friday night.
