SAN JOSE, Calif. wholesale nfl jerseys . -- Antti Niemi finally got comfortable when he started seeing more shots on goal. He made several huge stops in regulation and saved his best for last, stopping Nashvilles last chance during the shootout. Ryane Clowe scored in a shootout and Niemi came up with a big save against David Legwand to give the San Jose Sharks a 2-1 victory over the Predators on Thursday night. "It came quickly and I didnt see it at first," Niemi said of his save. "He shot low and I just squared up to him. Weve had a few tough games but Im glad we got this one." Joe Thornton also scored for the Sharks, who ended a three-game home losing streak and drew within one point of Colorado for the final Western Conference playoff spot. "We had a lot of good opportunities in the first two periods and dont score," Thornton said. "We didnt have too many in the third but we capitalized. I just tried to get the puck and throw it up a little." Patric Hornqvist scored as the Predators snapped a three-game winning streak but gained a point on Detroit for the fourth playoff spot in the West. "They always put a lot of pressure on you," Nashvilles Martin Erat said. "But we defended well and got a point out of it. On both sides it was anybodys game." Pekka Rinne made 34 saves for the Predators, while Niemi stopped 32 shots for the Sharks. "We saw a lot of pucks swallowed up," Thornton said of Niemi. "Hes a world class goalie and we have a lot of confidence in him." Fourteen of the past 18 meetings between these two teams have been decided by one goal. "We took a bad penalty at the end of the second period and they scored on the power play," Predators coach Barry Trotz said. "That was the difference. We learned a little lesson there. When it goes to a shootout, anything can happen." Nashville took one shot in the first 12 minutes before grabbing a 1-0 lead with 6:42 left in the first period with a power-play goal. Hornqvist took a pass from Mike Fisher to the left of the net, swung around and fired it past Niemi. "It was a back-and-forth game and both teams had chances," Rinne said. "We just came up a little short." The Sharks tied it early in the third period on Thorntons power-play goal. The Sharks captain was in the right spot when a shot deflected off Nashville defender Hal Gill in front of the goal and he slapped the puck into an open net. The Predators outshot the Sharks 10-4 in the third period. Dan Boyle got behind the Predators defence midway through the extra period and had a 1 on 1 with Rinne, who somehow kept the puck out of the net. "Hes such a big goalie theres not a whole lot of room," Boyle said. "You have to get him moving and I just ran out of room." Niemi also recorded a tough save with less than 25 seconds left in overtime. Notes: Nashville C Paul Gaustad left the ice midway through the final period with an apparent right wrist injury. ...

The Baltimore slugger hit his 50th home run of the season in the eighth inning Friday night to snap a 3-3 tie as the Orioles rallied with five unanswered runs to defeat Toronto 5-3. "Hes having a great year," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "Hes so strong he hits them anywhere, its got nothing to do with the park here. Some guys will get some cheapies here. He doesnt get any cheapies. "The thing that makes him so good is he hits them everywhere. Even in that home-run hitting contest in the all-star game, he was the only guy hitting some home runs to the opposite field. Hes dangerous. "I thought we might have had him on a checked swing earlier. And then he hits a home run. We didnt get the call there." Davis flied out deep to centre in the first inning, struck out in the third and flied out to left in the sixth before slamming a pitch from reliever Steve Delabar over the centre-field fence to lead off the eighth for a 4-3 lead. "I knew I barrelled it up," said Davis. "I tried to go the other way there with two strikes. Ive faced Steve a few times. You cant look for his split, as hard as he throws. I was just trying to put a good swing on it and stay through it." Visiting fan Steve Houff of Ellicott City, Md., who got the home run ball from a Jays fan for US$100, exchanged it with Davis for a signed bat and ball. Baltimore added another run in the inning when Danny Valencia singled home Adam Jones. Edwin Encarnacion and Colby Rasmus returned to the Toronto lineup, with Encarnacion scoring and Rasmus homering. But it wasnt enough as the Orioles (78-69) snapped a three-game losing streak, keeping their wild-card hopes alive while handing Toronto (67-80) its fourth consecutive loss. Baltimore also evened its 2013 record against the Jays to 7-7. It was Davis seventh home run against the Blue Jays this season -- and his 16th since the start of the 2012 season. And it tied the Orioles single-season home run record by Brady Anderson in 1996. Davis is the first player to hit 50 homers since Jose Bautista (with 54) did it in 2010. The 27-year-old first baseman becomes the third player in major league history to hit 50 home runs and 40 doubles in a season. The only others to accomplish the feat are Babe Ruth (59 homers and 44 doubles in 1921) and Albert Belle (52 and 50 in 1995). "Its a humbling feeling to be in the same company with the guys Im in," said Davis. Davis, who hit 33 homers last year for the Orioles, leads the majors in home runs this season. Trailing 3-0, Baltimore sent eight men to the plate in the seventh inning to tie the game. Homers by Adam Lind and Rasmuus had given Toronto the lead. wholesale jerseys. Hard-throwing Baltimore reliever Tommy Hunter, coming in with men on first and third with one out in the bottom of the seventh, snuffed out the Toronto threat by striking out Moises Sierra and J.P. Arencibia. Hunter (5-4) also took care of the eighth after giving up a leadoff single. Jim Johnson, coming on in the ninth, earned his 44th save while Delabar (5-4) suffered his second straight loss. Baltimore outhit Toronto 10-7. The seventh-inning Orioles rally ruined a fine performance by Jays starter Todd Redmond, making his first start in 10 days. Redmond, who had a strikeout in each of the first six innings, gave up one run on three hits, struck out seven and did not walk a batter before giving way to Dustin McGowan with one out in the seventh. He threw 75 pitches including 50 strikes before a Rogers Centre crowd of 20,024 with the roof closed. Gibbons said the plan was to replace Redmond if he ran into any trouble, given his recent inactivity. "It backfired, but that was kind of the plan," he said. "It was kind of uncharted territory for him, hes been off a little bit. But he threw a whale of a game. We just didnt get the outs ... Sometimes winning a game, youve got to stop things before things develop." Redmond said he had more in the tank but was content to take the managers lead. Bud Norris was slated to start for the Orioles but was scratched due to elbow discomfort. He gave way to Jason Hammel, who was making his first start since July 28. Hammel went five innings, giving up three runs on three hits. He walked one, struck out two and threw 62 pitches, 39 for strikes. After seeing Jose Reyes thrown out at third to open the bottom of the first, Hammel retired 10 in a row before walking Encarnacion in the fourth with two outs in the fourth. Lind then punished him by homering to right-centre field for his 20th home run of the season. Encarnacion, who missed the last four games with a sore wrist, hit two deep shots just left of the left-field foul pole in earning the walk. The blast extended Linds hitting streak against the Orioles to 17 games. Rasmus, returning to the lineup after being sidelined since Aug. 11 with an oblique strain, added a leadoff homer into the Baltimore bullpen in the fifth to make it 3-0. It was his 19th of the season. Baltimore did not get a runner past second until the seventh inning when Jones hit a leadoff double. One out later, J.J. Hardy drove him in with a double off McGowan to trim the margin to 3-1. Ryan Flaherty then walked and, one out later, Steve Clevenger doubled home Hardy and Flaherty with a ball that bounced over the head of right-fielder Sierra to tie it at 3-3. It marked Clevengers first hit as an Oriole. ' ' '
