NEW YORK (AP) — After scoring his first career hat trick Mattias Janmark Jersey , Joel Armia was more concerned with the Montreal Canadiens getting another win.Armia had three goals and the Canadiens beat the New York Rangers 4-2 on Friday night for their fourth victory in six games.“It feels good,” Armia said, “but I think for our group it doesn’t matter who scores the goals right now. We just need to get wins. … The most important thing for us is just to finish real well and get some momentum going into the next game.”Brendan Gallagher also scored and Carey Price stopped 28 shots. The Canadiens, who hold the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race, pulled five points behind Toronto for third place in the Atlantic Division.Vladislav Namestnikov and Brendan Lemieux scored, and Henrik Lundqvist finished with 32 saves as the Rangers lost their third straight and fourth in five games (1-2-2). Brady Skjei had two assists.Armia pushed Montreal’s lead to 3-1 when he brought the puck up the right side and beat Lundqvist with a wrist shot 4:29 into the third period.Lemieux, playing his second game with the Rangers since arriving from Winnipeg in a trade for Kevin Hayes, pulled them within one when Skjei’s pass went off Jesper Fast’s skate and Lemieux’s stick with 2:32 to go. It was his 10th of the season and first with New York.Armia got his 10th to complete his first career hat trick on an empty-netter with 36.7 seconds to go.He acknowledged he was thinking about the hat trick after he scored his second goal of the night.“I knew if I get out there and have a chance, I’m going to bury it,” said Armia, who couldn’t remember if he had ever scored three goals in a game at any level.Montreal coach Claude Julien credited Price for helping keep the team close until it got going in the second period.“He made some big saves,” Julien said. “We had a slow start, didn’t think we were very good in the first period. They came out strong. … Carey kept us in and gave us some big saves. Even in the second period, (he) made some huge saves and eventually we managed to score some goals.”Trailing 1-0 after the first, the Canadiens went ahead with two goals in the middle period while sending 18 shots at Lundqvist.Gallagher tied the score with his 28th Radek Faksa Jersey , deflecting a centering pass from Tomas Tatar up high over Lundqvist’s shoulder at 7:27. Gallagher has five goals in his last five games.The Canadiens took the lead with the help of a fortuitous bounce with 5:22 left in the period. Montreal defenseman Christian Folin sent a dump-in pass from the left side that rebounded off the end boards. Lundqvist got a piece of the puck, but it came out in front and Armia knocked it in before the diving goalie could stop it.“It’s a tough bounce, obviously,” Lundqvist said. “We played a good game leading up maybe to their first goal, and then that put us on our heels a little bit. And the second goal didn’t help our game there. … It changed the momentum.”Tatar nearly added to the lead, but Lundqvist turned away his breakaway attempt with 3 1/2 minutes to go in the second.“As the game progressed, we got better,” Price said. “It’s a game of momentum.”The Canadiens outshot the Rangers 11-9 in the first but trailed after 20 minutes.Namestnikov got the Rangers on the board, deflecting a pass from Skjei past Price for his ninth 4:41 into the game. Namestnikov has five goals and eight points in the last eight games.Namestnikov also had several other scoring chances in the first period but was denied on an attempt in front with less than seven minutes remaining and then again about four minutes later. Price also stopped his wraparound try in the final minute.NOTES: Gallagher has eight goals and 11 points in his last 12 games. … Armia had his second multigoal game of the season. The other was at Columbus on Jan. 18. … The Canadiens took two of three in the season series, also winning 5-2 at home on Dec. 1. The Rangers won the first meeting, 5-3 at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 6. … Libor Hajek made his NHL debut for the Rangers one day after being called up from Hartford of the AHL. The 21-year-old defenseman, acquired with Namestnikov from Tampa Bay at last season’s trade deadline in the deal that sent D Ryan McDonagh and forward J.T.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) Roberto Luongo spoke eloquently on the ice and then played brilliantly in net.On a night when the Florida Panthers honored the victims of last week’s shooting at nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, their veteran goalie delivered a stirring speech to the crowd during a somber pregame tribute.Once the puck was dropped Thursday Authentic Stephen Johns Jersey , he made 33 saves in his third game since returning from a groin injury to lead the Panthers to a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals.”The first 10 minutes of the game was very difficult. I was not in a zone, that’s a good way to put it. Emotions were still running high from the ceremony,” said Luongo, who lives in Parkland, where the shooting occurred.Vincent Trocheck scored the winning goal with 19.1 seconds left for Florida. With the score tied at 2, he redirected a shot by Jonathan Huberdeau past goaltender Braden Holtby during a power play.Nick Bjugstad scored the tying goal for the Panthers late in the third period, and Maxim Mamin got his first NHL goal.It was the first home game for the Panthers since the tragedy. They had been on a road trip in Canada for the past 11 days.”We had little angels helping us tonight to help us pull out a big win here,” Luongo said.Trocheck celebrated his go-ahead goal by encouraging fellow players to sign his stick. He plans on donating it to the students and faculty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.”It was very emotional,” Trocheck said. ”It was a powerful game. Powerful speech before the game by Lou. Powerful meaning behind the game. Team played great in the third period, showed a lot of character and to be able to put that in the net at the end of the game, it was exciting.”Andre Burakovsky had a goal and an assist, and Lars Eller also scored for the Capitals. Holtby stopped 30 shots but lost his fifth straight.Before the game, the arena video screen showed the names and faces of each of the 17 students who were killed on Valentine’s Day in nearby Parkland. The darkened ice was then illuminated with 17 circles of light, with a student’s name inside each one.Players from both teams stood for the ceremony, some wiping tears from their eyes.Luongo followed with an emotional address about how he has lived in Parkland for 12 years with his wife and children Youth Tyler Pitlick Jersey , and how much he loves the town. He lauded the bravery of those who lost their lives trying to save others and spoke about how inspiring the students have been in coping with the tragedy.”Usually, sporting events start with a lot of fanfare and a lot of noise, and it wasn’t that,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. ”It had some meaning to the people in this region, it had some meaning to the players on the other side, and it had some meaning to us. After he (Luongo) got through the first period, it settled into a hockey game.”Florida players will wear Marjory Stoneman Douglas logos on their helmets and MSD uniform patches for the remainder of the season.”I thought Louie did a heck of a job with his speech and to get in net and to throw a performance out like that after, it was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in a long time,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said.Bjugstad tied the game at 2 when he took a pass from Aleksander Barkov in front and poked in the puck with 3:42 left.”The second goal they got a little fortunate on,” Holtby said. ”I think he misplaced his pass and it went off his back foot. You just move on from those.”Burakovsky’s power-play goal gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead at 9:56 of the second. Alex Ovechkin fed the puck to Burakovsky in the slot, where he lined it up and fired a shot past Luongo.Mamin gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead at 4:50 of the first period when he poked in the rebound of a shot by Ian McCoshen. Mamin’s goal was his first point in eight NHL games.The Capitals tied it on Eller’s goal. Burakovsky took a shot from the high slot that glanced off Eller’s stick and in with 1:05 left in the first.NOTES: Capitals defenseman Michal Kempny, acquired from Chicago late Monday night, made his Washington debut. … The Panthers acquired forward Frank Vatrano from Boston for a third-round pick in this year’s draft. … RW Radim Vrbata was a healthy scratch for the eighth time in 11 games.UP NEXTCapitals: Host the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.Panthers: Host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.—
