SAN JOSE Scott Wedgewood Jersey Womens , Calif. (AP) — Martin Jones could come up with only so many saves against the NHL’s second-ranked power play before the Florida Panthers finally broke through.Mike Hoffman scored a tiebreaking goal after San Jose was penalized for too many men on the ice late in the second period, and the Panthers denied the Sharks a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a 4-2 victory Thursday night.“You give any team that many power plays, they’ll probably score one eventually,” Hoffman said. “We were able to get one.”Hoffman also set up Frank Vatrano’s insurance goal in the third to send the Panthers to their third straight win following a six-game skid. Jamie McGinn and Dryden Hunt also scored for the Panthers, and rookie Sam Montembeault made 26 saves to win his first career road start.Florida moved within seven points of Columbus for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot but has just 12 games left to make up that margin.“We’re not out of it yet. We know it’s a long way to get there but we’re concentrating on winning every game,” coach Bob Boughner said. “We’re not giving up to the end. We’re going to fight. It’s too bad we’re in this position, obviously first half of the season, that’s why. Since January we’ve been a good hockey team and we’ll try to continue to do that.”Melker Karlsson and Kevin Labanc scored for the Sharks, who had their six-game winning streak snapped. San Jose looked tired playing for the third time in four nights and missed an opportunity to become the first team in the Western Conference to clinch a postseason slot.More importantly, the Sharks failed to increase their one-point lead over second-place Calgary in the Pacific Division race. The Flames have one game in hand.“Way too many penalties tonight,” Logan Couture said. “They have a good power play and they made us pay. And we were sloppy on the PK, too. We didn’t look good. We looked slow. The energy level I’m sure looked low and we have to find a way to play better than that.”Jones made 23 saves in San Jose’s second regulation loss at home since Dec. 20.The Panthers took control of the game in the second period when they scored twice for a 3-2 lead. They tied it early in the period when Riley Sheahan won a faceoff just outside the offensive zone to Troy Brouwer Conor Sheary Jersey Womens , who fed Hunt for his second goal in two games after scoring none through the first 32 of his career.Florida kept up the pressure from there but Jones managed to turn away several chances with the Sharks short-handed for more than three minutes after a double-minor to Couture.But the Panthers then capitalized on a bad line change late in the period that led to a penalty for too many men on the ice. Keith Yandle passed the puck to Hoffman, who beat Jones with a slap shot from the top of the circle for his 32nd goal of the season.Hoffman was a member of the Sharks for a few hours back in June when he was acquired by San Jose in a deal from Ottawa before being almost immediately shipped to the Panthers in a move that helped create the salary cap room that eventually brought Erik Karlsson to San Jose. Fans even displayed a mock retired Sharks banner for Hoffman.“I appreciate the respect from the fans there,” Hoffman said. “I’ll try to reach out and contact the fan to get that from him.”Vatrano’s goal midway through the third gave the Panthers a cushion and capped his happy 25th birthday.NOTES: Florida has won seven of eight in San Jose. … Sharks D Radim Simek will need surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. … San Jose forward Evander Kane remains sidelined for personal reasons.

DETROIT (AP) — Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning turned a three-goal deficit into a milestone night.Stamkos tied Vincent Lecavalier for Tampa Bay’s career lead in goals, Nikita Kucherov scored twice in the third period and the Lightning rallied to beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on Thursday. Tampa Bay equaled its franchise record of 54 wins, set last season.The Red Wings led 3-0 in the second when Stamkos scored on the power play to start Tampa Bay’s comeback. His 383rd goal pulled him even with Lecavalier.“It feels a lot better now than it did when it happened — to do it in a win,” Stamkos said. “It’s something you probably process a little later, but just a huge honor to be sharing that with Vinny right now. He was so instrumental to me in my career and what he meant to this organization.”Stamkos made it 3-1, and the NHL-leading Lightning weren’t done. The league’s highest-scoring team added four goals in the third, with Kucherov and Tyler Johnson scoring 26 seconds apart to give Tampa Bay the lead with 11:10 remaining. Kucherov made it 5-3 with 3:22 left.Brayden Point also scored for the Lightning, early in the third. Madison Bowey, Darren Helm, Justin Abdelkader and Michael Rasmussen scored for the Red Wings Tage Thompson Jersey Womens , who lost for the 12th time in 13 games.“I thought it was a bit deceiving with a 3-0 lead. We had a 3-0 lead, which is great. You’re putting yourself in position to win. But it wasn’t like we were dominating the game,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. “If anything, they started to carry the play at 2-0. Especially in the first I thought we got hemmed in our zone a bunch.”Bowey opened the scoring in the first with a shot from just inside the blue line. It was only the second goal of the young defenseman’s career and his first since arriving last month in a trade with Washington.The Lightning had plenty of time in the offensive zone in the first period, but the Red Wings were dangerous on the counter. Helm struck while Detroit was short-handed, breaking in on a 2-on-1 and beating goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy for his 100th career goal.Early in the second, Abdelkader slipped behind the Tampa Bay defense and scored to make it 3-0, but Stamkos answered with his 35th goal of the season, beating goalie Jimmy Howard with a wrist shot from the left circle to tie Lecavalier.“Fortunate to be able to coach him for a number of years now, so I’ve been in the cat seat for a lot of his goals,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “First of all, they’re two unreal guys. Vinny’s an icon in our franchise.”Point’s 38th goal of the season cut the lead to one early in the third Dalton Prout Jersey Womens , then Kucherov tied it on a slap shot just 4 seconds into a Tampa Bay power play. Johnson made it 4-3 almost immediately thereafter, and Kucherov added his 35th of the season, beating Howard from in tight.“They’re the best team in the league for a reason,” Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. “But at the same time, I thought we didn’t help ourselves very much tonight. I thought we didn’t skate well enough, didn’t play quick enough on defense.”Rasmussen scored on a scramble in front to bring the Red Wings back within one with 1:42 remaining.NOTES: The Lightning also matched a franchise record with their 25th road win of the season. … Kucherov, who also had two assists, posted his NHL-leading 34th multipoint game. He has twice as many multipoint games as pointless games this season, and he increased his league-leading point total to 115.UP NEXTLightning: Host the Washington Capitals on Saturday night.Red Wings: Host the New York Islanders on Saturday afternoon.
