BOSTON -- Jimmy Hayes emerged as an unlikely source of offense for the Bruins.Hayes scored the games only goal early in the first period and Tuukka Rask made 18 saves as Boston held on for a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday.Hayes goal was his first in seven games and only his second in 28 games this season.You try to help the team whenever you can, and today I got an opportunity so its nice to cash in on one, Hayes said.It was a much-needed boost with leading scorer David Pastrnak sidelined after having right elbow surgery on Friday. Pastrnaks 19 goals rank second in the NHL behind Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby (21).Its going to be huge (for others to step up), Hayes said. A guy like that whos been scoring for us, scoring some big time goals for us on a regular basis. Youre going to need other guys to step up and thats going to have to be the mentality going forward.Bruins coach Claude Julien hopes Hayes performance serves as a spark after his sluggish start. Hayes ranked ninth on the team with 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) last season.He resembled probably the older Hayes that we had at times last year than the one weve seen this year, Julien said.Rask recorded his fourth shutout of the season for the Bruins, who improved to .500 at home (8-8-0) after losing two straight games and five of six coming in.Its one of those games that you only need one bad bounce or one really good chance for them to tie it, and today we didnt even give them that, Rask said.Rask tied Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk for the league lead in shutouts, and now has 34 for his career.Peter Budaj had 29 saves for the Kings, who had won their previous two games. Los Angeles was outshot 30-18.Hey, we just played our fourth game today in 6 1/2 days and we played our (butts) off again today, Sutter said.Sutter opted to sit the struggling Marian Gaborik, who has just one goal and three assists through nine games.We have that right in the locker room as players and coaches to have high expectations of players in terms of how they play, Sutter said.Colin Millers wrister from the top of the right circle caught a piece of Hayes stick and zipped past Budaj 4:20 into the opening period. Hayes was initially credited with an assist on Millers goal, but the call was changed. Dominic Moore also assisted on the goal.Just being in the right spot at the right time, Hayes said about his timely score.Hayes has gone 45 games without an assist dating to Feb. 22. He is three points shy of 100 for his career.Kyle Clifford went to the locker room at 3:24 of the third after taking a hit from the Bruins Adam McQuaid while chasing a puck in the corner.

NEW YORK -- Coming off two 100-point seasons and their best playoff run in 23 years, the New York began this season with high hopes. Things havent been working out so well.Sixteen games into the season -- about one-fifth of the way through -- the Islanders are having trouble scoring goals and the losses are piling up.With just one win in the last seven games (1-3-3), they are in last place in the Eastern Conference and their 40 goals ranks just above the bottom one-third in the conference and the league overall.I have not found the combinations to give us some offense, coach Jack Capuano said after the team was shut out for the first time this season Monday night. Its on me to find guys to play with certain guys. Our guys are well prepared for games. We have to be able to find some offense.The Islanders were booed through much of their latest loss -- 4-0 to Tampa Bay -- by the home fans looking for another strong season after finally reaching the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 1993 .I understand the frustration of the fans and frustration of the players, Capuano said. but for me, as a coach, Im behind these guys. I want them to succeed.Two months after their postseason ended last spring, the Islanders lost long-time stars Kyle Okposo, Frans Nielsen and Matt Martin on the first day of free agency , and replaced them with Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera. The departed trio combined for 52 goals and 83 assists last season, while the two newcomers have totaled three goals and five assists so far.Capuano has shuffled the lines all season, searching for the right combinations -- especially for captain John Tavares, who spent most of the latter part of last season on the top line with Okposo and Nielsen. Ladd and Chimera began the season with Tavares. Chimera was then replaced by Josh Bailey. Ladd was then dropped down, with Shane Prince initially taking his place, but Cal Clutterbuck has been moved up there the last five games. The changes have rippled on the other lines as well.Tavares is still confident the team can turn things around.Howw many games do we got left, he said.dddddddddddd You just keep going, keep working. You find your way out of it. Obviously we dont want to be in the spot that were in, but were not going to quit. We just got to stay positive and stay together. Therea plenty of time for improvement with 66 games remaining, but it needs to start soon. The Islanders are seven points out of a playoff spot, but would need to jump over eight teams just to get in the Easts second wild-card spot.Obviously it feels like everything is against us right now, Tavares said. Theres a long way to go at this point in the year. ... All you can do is work to sway the momentum, get some good results and try to build some momentum off that and build confidence.A strong home team the last two years, the Islanders had a chance to get off to a good start with their next game -- on Friday night against defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh -- being their 12th out of the first 17 at Barclays Center. The Islanders head into that 5-4-2 on home ice. That will be followed by a three-game trip to California next week with the team still looking for its first road win after going 0-4-1 in the first five.We have to get back practicing hard, get ready to go, obviously a big game Friday night and a big road trip, defenseman Travis Hamonic said. We just have to keep pushing forward. No ones feeling sorry for us.The poor start has put Capuano on the hot seat and with the coach repeatedly taking the blame for the teams scoring troubles, the pressure will likely only build.I can only control what I can control, Capuano said when asked if he was concerned whether general manager Garth Snow might consider a coaching change. Thats not my decision. I come to the rink every day like everybody else and work extremely hard. ... As Ive said, we have to find a way -- and it falls on me -- to try to get some offense out of this team.---Follow Vin Cherwoo at www.twitter.com/VinCherwooAP Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
