Uniondale, NY (SportsNetwork.
Cheap NBA Jerseys .com) - Kyle Okposo notched his first career hat trick, including the game-winner in the third period, and totaled four goals as the New York Islanders rallied for a 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Ryan Strome and Michael Grabner had the other goals, while Josh Bailey and John Tavares each posted three assists for the Islanders, who have won four straight games. Jaroslav Halak turned away 21 shots in the win. We just tried to keep things simple and get pucks to the net, said Bailey. I dont think we got a lot done the first two periods, but we were able to grind it out there in the third. Sidney Crosby had two goals and an assist, while David Perron also scored for the Penguins, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Marc-Andre Fleury was tagged for five goals on 34 shots. The Isles trailed by a goal entering the third, but tied the contest just 6:42 in as Baileys shot from the left point was tipped on net by Tavares, with Okposo backhanding home the rebound. Okposo then gave his team the lead at 11:51 as he took a feed from Bailey in the slot and picked his spot before zipping the puck home for a 4-3 advantage. Steve Downie took an ill-advised slashing penalty on a retaliation with 2:41 to play, and Okposo sealed the victory 18 seconds later when he whacked the puck in for his 13th of the year. Grabner scored with the net empty and 1:13 showing to account for the final score. It was not a smart penalty, said Pittsburgh head coach Mike Johnston. We cant take penalties like that at that time of the game. Pittsburgh drew first blood when a Chris Kunitz shot from the right wing hit off of Crosby in front at 10:52 on the power play, and the Pens scored 1 1/2 minutes later on another power play, this time from Perron. Okposos first goal of the game came off his right skate, as Tavares stickhandled down the left wing and sent it to the front where a charging Okposo saw the puck go in off his skate at 16:51 of the first. Strome tied the game at 12:31 of the second after he swept it in from in front, but Crosby scored on a one-timer with 4.4 seconds to play in the second to give the Pens a 3-2 lead.

Malik Beasley Jersey . They were right in that they responded to coach Randy Carlyles goaltending switch to erase a two-goal deficit.ORLANDO, Fla. -- Ned Colletti thought back to last winter, when people kept pestering him. "Youve got eight starting pitchers. What are you going to do with all eight?" the Los Angeles Dodgers general manager recalled everyone asking. "And three weeks in, were on No. 9." Pitching is at a premium already, with teams looking to increase depth for the long season ahead. Pretty much all free agents are going for top dollar this early in baseballs off-season. Tim Lincecum got a $35 million, two-year contract to stay with the San Francisco Giants, who didnt want him going on the open market. Outfielder Marlon Byrd agreed to a $16 million, two-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies this week, a huge increase from the agreement he signed with the New York Mets last winter that wound up earning him $800,000 -- including bonuses. "Its definitely a little scary," Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said Wednesday after hearing some of the asking prices. Several agents were on hand for baseballs meetings this week, which included sessions with GMs for the first three days and a full owners gathering on Thursday morning. The courtship process will build heading toward the winter meetings in nearby Lake Buena Vista from Dec. 9-12. Agent Scott Boras, who wants to goad teams into spending more on free agents, criticized the Mets, Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros for not spending enough and playfully suggested the Tampa Bay Rays seek a more financiallly beneficial home.
Michael Porter Jersey. "I think theres a lot of cities that may attract them," he said. "Maybe New Jersey would like that winning percentage." After missing the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years, the New York Yankees are in a shopping mode. In addition to trying to retain second baseman Robinson Cano, theyre interested in catcher Brian McCann and outfielder Carlos Beltran, among others. They need pitching, too. But there arent any aces on the free-agent market, so teams could bid up the prices of pitchers projected as a No. 2 or No. 3 on a staff. "I dont think theres any question about that," Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik said. "The market sets itself." Only one agreement was announced Wednesday, with infielder Nick Punto leaving the Dodgers for a $3 million, one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics. For the premier players, deals will take more time. How long is unclear. "Theres a certain amount of hesitation on really agent side as well as club side in terms of what the market is and whats going to happen next," Mets GM Sandy Alderson said. "Im sure theres some clubs that are looking to jump in and get something done right away and are prepared to do it under any circumstances, and so thats why I think you may see something over the next week or two. I dont think necessarily you have to wait til the winter meetings. I dont know what effect a late Thanksgiving will have."
