VANCOUVER Kailer Yamamoto Jersey , British Columbia (AP) — Getting some bounces on the power play helped get the Vancouver Canucks back into the NHL playoff picture.Bo Horvat had two goals and an assist and the Canucks kept their playoff hopes alive with a 7-4 win over the short-handed Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.Tanner Pearson also had two goals for Vancouver (32-32-10).

The Canucks have scored five power-play goals in their last five games. That comes after a stretch of four power-play goals in 17 games.“Those weren’t the bounces we were getting earlier,” Horvat said. “We were getting those opportunities, they just weren’t going in for us.“Special teams is huge. For us to get a couple of power-play goals in back-to-back games and find the back of the net has been big for us.”Canuck goaltender Jacob Markstrom stopped 21 shots.Ottawa (25-42-6) battle back when Max Veronneau, Brady Tkachuk and Oscar Lindberg scored goals 4:48 apart in the third period. Anthony DuClair scored on the power play with under two minutes left with goaltender Craig Anderson on the bench.“I really liked the character we showed in the third,” said center Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who had two assists. “Everyone I’m sure thought we were going to quit. I’m glad nobody quit in here.”Anderson made 33 saves for Ottawa.The last-place Senators had their two-game winning streak snapped. Ottawa played most of the game a player short after defenseman Cody Ceci left in the first period with an upper-body injury after blocking a shot.The Canucks’ first power-play goal came in the opening period, just 31 seconds after Ceci was called for holding. Horvat redirected a shot by Alex Edler for his 26th of the season.A boarding penalty by Jean-Gabriel Pageau set up Boeser’s goal at 17:00 of the second. He took a pass from Edler and beat Anderson on a low, hard shot.The second period was just 32 seconds old when Pearson put the Canucks up 2-0. Defenseman Alex Biega lifted a pass high into the Senators’ end. Pearson swatted the bouncing puck past Anderson.Virtanen made it 3-0 at 5:56. He took a little pass from Jay Beagle Womens Kris Russell Jersey , skated into the Ottawa zone and scored on a low shot to the glove side.Pearson made it 5-0 with 57 seconds gone in the third.Vancouver coach Travis Green said he wasn’t worried about Ottawa’s late rally.“They threw some pucks at the net, pucks went in,” Green said. “I thought we were still in control of the game.“I didn’t feel like it was one of those games where momentum was swinging, and they were all over us. I thought it was a pretty solid effort from our group.”NOTES: Pettersson received a standing ovation in the first period for breaking the Canucks’ record of 60 points in a season by a rookie with an assist in Chicago on Monday night. .

BOSTON (AP) The Boston Bruins have signed Ryan Donato to a two-year Leon Draisaitl Jersey , entry-level deal and say the U.S. Olympic star could play for them right away.Donato had 26 goals and 17 assists in 29 games this season at Harvard. He led the United States with five goals and six points at the Olympics as one of its youngest players.The 21-year-old is eligible to be in Boston’s lineup Monday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets, a big boost to a Stanley Cup contender down the stretch.Donato was a second-round pick for Boston in 2014, and the team retained his rights while he played for his father, Ted Donato, a former Bruin who has been the coach at Harvard since 2004. The Boston native said at the Olympics it was always a dream for him to play in the NHL and for the Bruins, but he didn’t want to make any declarations about his future, which could soon include playoff action.”At the end of the day I want to graduate as well,” Donato said after the U.S. was eliminated at the Olympics. ”We’ll see what the future holds.”The Bruins are currently without center Patrice Bergeron (fractured foot), left wing Jake DeBrusk (upper body) and right wing/center David Backes (laceration) because of injuries.”No I don’t think it tipped the scales either way. I think Ryan might’ve looked at it as an even bigger opportunity for him to go in and possibly play as early as (Monday),” Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said about his team’s injury list http://www.officialhockeypanthersshop.com/authentic-adidas-roberto-luongo-jersey , which also includes defensemen Zdeno Chara (upper body) and Charlie McAvoy (sprained MCL). ”From our standpoint, we had always been committed to providing the opportunity to Ryan if and when he decided to leave school. And I think a few things just kind of lined up accordingly.”Despite their injury issues, the Bruins are just four points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning for the top spot in the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference with two games in hand. But there is no timetable for the return of any of the injured players, and Sweeney saw the signing of Donato as a chance to add to coach Bruce Cassidy’s depth.”My expectations are that he’ll get his feet wet and show us what he can do at this level. We’re not going to put any pressure on him to say, `You have to produce,”’ Sweeney said. ”He’s going to be another player that the coach will have an opportunity to play.”Asked if he thought his son was NHL-ready, Ted Donato said, ”There are so many factors involved in being NHL-ready, one certainly would be the opportunity presented yourself and the right timing.” That timing was obviously right after Harvard did not make the NCAA Tournament and the Bruins got him signed.—
