Nashville Predators coach Peter Laviolette isnt one to sit on a pat hand if his teams struggling. Cheap Cardinals Jerseys Authentic . His latest batch of line changes prior to Tuesday nights game may have unearthed a new No. 1 line.The combination of Filip Forsberg, center Ryan Johansen and James Neal single-handedly erased a 3-0 second period deficit to the St. Louis Blues with goals that sparked a 6-3 comeback win at Bridgestone Arena.They combined to try 22 shots, 12 of which made it to net, and consistently drove play for most of the last two periods. Laviolette is hoping for more of the same Thursday night when Nashville hosts the Minnesota Wild.They got going, and they were generating a lot, Laviolette said of Tuesday night. They spent a lot of time in the offensive zone. We got zone starts that started in our favor. If youre in the offensive zone already, you can start generating. If youre in the defensive zone, you have to figure out how to get through two zones just to get to the O-zone.Getting to the O-zone against Minnesota is one thing. Beating Devan Dubnyk has been another. The big goalie has been on some kind of run this season, continuing it Tuesday night in a 5-1 home victory over Florida by stopping 29 shots.Dubnyk (14-6-3) lowered his goals-against average to a miniscule 1.60 and stopped nearly 95 percent of the shots thrown at him this season. Thanks in large part to his brilliance, the Wild (16-8-4) have won five straight.We need to keep climbing, Dubnyk said. Its exciting to be in this spot with games in hand as well, and again those games dont matter unless we win them. But its still a good situation to be in and winning is fun, so youve got to keep doing it.Another encouraging sign for Minnesota on Tuesday night was the play of Zach Parise. The left winger broke a seven-game goal drought while also pouring six shots on goal, taking the puck away five times and blocking two shots.First-year Wild coach Bruce Boudreau called Parises performance exceptional.It was good to see him get one early, Boudreau said. He had opportunities. I thought he played a really good game. He was really blocking shots, especially in the first period when we really needed it.A struggling Predator also took strides in the right direction Tuesday night. Forsberg tallied only his third goal in 28 games and was all over the ice, trying 11 shots in 19:02 of ice time and looking as dangerous as he has all season.It was his first marker since a Nov. 23 victory over Dallas and left Laviolette with hope that this might be the game which sparks Forsberg, who last season tied a franchise high with 33 goals.I really liked his game tonight, Laviolette said of Forsberg. I really liked that he was finding his opportunities. He had 11 shots at the net. That kind of aggressive play will lead to the results.This is the seasons first meeting of the Central Division rivals, who play five times this season, three in Nashville. That could be an edge for the Predators (13-11-4), who are 10-2-2 at home and averaging nearly four goals per game. Corey Peters Jersey .

Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt. The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far.CHICAGO -- The Cincinnati Reds needed every clutch hit they could manage and almost every arm in their bullpen Friday to hold off the Chicago Cubs. Jay Bruce had two RBIs and scored a run, Shin-Soo Choo drove in a run and scored twice, and the Reds scored five times when two were out to hold off the Cubs 6-5. "The team that gets the two-out hits is the team that wins the games," Reds manager Dusty Baker said after the Reds improved to 4-10 on the road. "Those are big, big clutch hits when you get two out. "We had some guys swing the bat pretty good today." The Cubs scored three runs in the ninth against Reds closer Aroldis Chapman before reliever J.J. Hoover came on and struck out Darwin Barney with the bases loaded to pick up his first save. "You kind of train yourself for that as a reliever," Hooever said. "All of these (relievers) can handle that situation. Thats what makes us a good staff." Chapman allowed three straight hits to open the inning, then got two outs before giving up a bases-loaded walk to Nate Schierholtz and a two-run single to Welington Castillo as the Cubs pulled within one. After pinch-hitter Cody Ransom drew a walk to load the bases again, Hoover replaced Chapman and preserved the win by getting Barney on a foul tip. Baker cited inactivity for Chapmans problems in the ninth. "He hadnt pitched in three days," Baker said. "If you dont pitch him its like if youre pitching him too much." Mike Leake (2-1) gave up two runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings, earned his fourth straight decision over the Cubs with help from five relievers. "Its cold out there but Im just trying to work on my strikes and work down in the zone," Leake said. "The umpire was working well with me on that low ball. It was nice to try to attack that lower half of the zone." Devin Mesoraco, Todd Frazier and Zack Cozart also had run-scoring hits to help the Reds hand Carlos Villanueva (1-2) the loss. "Its impossible to hit all the time -- you wish they could and I wish they could," Baker said. "Things go in cycles. Im just hoping this is an upturn towards how we can play, how we can hit." Leake cruised into the sixth with a 4-0 lead before giving up a consecutive one-out doubles to Anthony Rizzo and Alfonso Soriano, and an RBI single to Schierholtz. Leake was replaced one out later after giving up a single to Luis Valbuena that put runneers at first and third. Phil Dawson Jersey. . Reliever Sam Lecure got Barney on a pop up to second base to end the inning. Trailing 5-2 in the seventh, the Cubs loaded the bases with one out before reliever Sean Marshall struck out Soriano on a 3-2 pitch in the dirt and got Schierholtz to ground out to second. The Cubs came in last in the majors in batting with runners in scoring position at .167 and had more trouble. A day after going 0 for 7 in such situations against San Diego, the Cubs were 0 for 4 until Sorianos RBI double in the sixth. Still, the Cubs left 12 runners on base. The rally encouraged manager Dale Sveum even if the Cubs left the winning run on base in the ninth against Hoover. "We didnt do much in the first eight innings again, though," he said. "We left some guys out there again and obviously they added on a couple there, one they added on without a hit the one inning (seventh). Those are the things that will come back and haunt you at the end of a game." Cincinnati chased Villanueva with two out in the sixth after RBI doubles by Bruce and Mesoraco for a 4-0 lead. Michael Bowden relieved Villanueva and ended the threat, but Cincinnati tacked on single runs on Bruces RBI grounder in the seventh against Bowden and Cozarts run-scoring single in the eighth against Kameron Loe. "In my last two starts, Im one pitch away from two quality outings," Villanueva said. "You know, the good part is Im close to where I want to be. Im just not putting that guy away when I need to." Cincinnati broke on top in the first on Joey Vottos single and Fraziers run-scoring double to deep centre. Xavier Paul led off the second with a double off Villanueva and scored on Choos two-out single. NOTES: Sveum said he wants to see injured pitcher Matt Garza get at least three more starts or "close to 100 pitches" in a rehab assignment after suffering a lat strain. Garza is set to pitch Monday for Triple-A Iowa. Svuem also said reliever Kyuji Fujikawas rehab effort Sunday in Iowa will be only about 25 pitches.
