UNIONDALE, N. http://www.airforce1sale.nl/nike-lunar-force-one-low-fuse-nrg-wit-heren-quickstrike-schoenen-573980-100.html .Y. -- The New York Islanders showed very little over the final 40 minutes against the Minnesota Wild. Luckily, they were dominant enough in the first period to escape with their first win of the season. Andrew MacDonald and Frans Nielsen scored first-period goals as the Islanders got a solid performance from goalie Al Montoya to earn a 2-1 win Monday. "Were definitely happy to get this win, but at the same time we have to learn from this," Nielsen said. "We didnt play great." New York killed all five Wild power plays, including a two-man advantage in the second, and blocked 17 shots. That made things easier for Montoya, who had 20 saves in his second straight start over Rick DiPietro. Unlike his outing in the season-opening 2-0 loss to Florida on Saturday, Montoya got some offensive support and kept the Wild at bay. "We came out with the right attitude," Montoya said of the first period. "It was attack, attack. Throw bodies at the net, throw pucks at the end. We kind of held them off after that." Even though Montoya lost his shutout bid 1:13 into the third, when Matt Cullen scored his second goal in two games, he had a strong final period. He made eight saves in the frame, mostly when the Wild pressed for the elusive tying goal. New York managed to hold off the Wild despite being outshot 19-5 after the impressive first. "We did a lot of good things," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "We looked sharp, we were playing on our toes and not on our heels. "Then all of a sudden, for whatever reason, we didnt have great puck management and that led to penalties. Anytime that you take as many penalties as we have, you cant get into the flow of the game." Minnesota had chances to score, especially during its 44-second, two-man advantage that didnt generate a shot, and two third-period power plays. The Wild lost its first road game after opening with a 4-2 home win over Columbus on Saturday. "We played well in the second half of the game. The first half was disappointing," Cullen said. "The power play had a lot of chances, but couldnt convert. Montoya was very good." The Islanders took care of their offensive woes in a hurry following the uninspired loss to Florida. MacDonald scored New Yorks first goal of the season when he stepped into the rebound of defence partner Travis Hamonics shot at 9:05 -- 11 seconds into Minnesota captain Mikko Koivus tripping penalty. The lead went to 2-0, again from the blue-line. Mark Streit faked a shot from the left point, glided deeper into the zone, and wound up again. Instead of firing a shot, Streit -- the new Islanders captain who missed all of last season because of a shoulder injury -- sent a hard pass down to the right post to Nielsen for a perfect deflection at 11:45. P.A. Parenteau had the secondary assist on both goals. Despite drawing two power plays in the opening 5:09, the Wild mustered only two shots on Montoya in the first. Minnesota didnt record a shot on either advantage. "The killers on this team did an unbelievable job throwing their bodies in front," Montoya said. "Were a hardworking team. "The PK has got to be our bread and butter." Niklas Backstrom kept the Islanders lead at two goals in the one-sided period by making a strong save in the crease against Matt Moulson, who deflected a shot from point-blank range with just over five minutes remaining. Minnesota came out stronger to start the second and earned another power play at 1:24. This time the Wild got a shot during the advantage and totalled three overall in the opening 1:32 of the frame -- but didnt get any past Montoya. The shot totals completely turned in that period, when Minnesota held a 10-2 advantage. The Wild were helped late when it had its 5-on-3, but failed to cut into the Islanders lead. Dany Heatley had a chance in front on the second half of the power play, but put an in-close shot into Montoya. "We were a little slow to start," said Heatley, who had a team-high four shots. "In the second and third we responded well. Weve got to find ways to finish." Notes: Pierre-Marc Bouchard, who had two assists in the Wilds season opener, served the first game of a two-game suspension for high-sticking Columbus forward Matt Calvert on Saturday. Bouchard also will sit out Tuesday at Ottawa. He is eligible to return Thursday against Edmonton. ...

Cobb pitched seven innings in a 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Hes gone 15-1-3 innings without allowing a run. The Rays called up left-handed reliever Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham to take his spot on the roster. Beliveau pitched 22 games in relief for the Cubs in 2012 and one for the Rays last season. Left-hander Erik Bedard was added to the roster on Sunday and will take Cobbs spot in the rotation for now. Left-hander Matt Moore went on the 15-day DL earlier in the week with a sore elbow. The Rays moved left-hander Cesar Ramos from the bullpen into the rotation to take his place -- Ramos started Sunday against Cincinnati. http://www.airforce1sale.nl/adidas-bright-groen-superstar-graphic-pack-heren-dames-b35405-schoenen.html. Ramos and Bedard competed for a spot in the rotation during spring training, so they were ready to be starters when the season began. Cobb felt some tightness in his side during the game on Saturday, but he was throwing so well that the Rays thought nothing of it. "Im not exactly sure when it happened," manager Joe Maddon said. "We thought it could have been dehydration." He was examined after the game and sent back to Florida for an MRI to determine the extent of the problem. The Rays put him on the disabled list right away because they knew hed miss one or two starts anyway. "If we do everything right, theres a chance we could have him back for that third start," Maddon said. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
