GLENDALE, Ariz. ... Orlando Magic Jerseys . -- The new version of the Jets was no match for the team that used to call Winnipeg home. Oliver Ekman-Larsson, nicknamed "Harry" by his teammates because -- according to captain Shane Doan -- "he looks like Harry Potter," scored two goals and the Phoenix Coyotes won their home opener by beating Winnipeg 4-1 on Saturday. The 20-year-old Swedish defenceman, Phoenixs top draft pick and the sixth selection overall in 2009, has three goals in the teams first four games. "My slap shot is not the best one but it went in," Ekman-Larsson said. "I feel comfortable out there so its fun to play." Coyotes goalie Mike Smith, who faced only 19 shots, called Ekman-Larsson "unbelievable." "I mean, the kids got all the skill in the world to be an elite defenceman in this league," Smith said. The game featured the original Jets, who moved to Phoenix in 1996, against the new Jets, freshly transferred from Atlanta and still looking for their first victory after three games. "Im not frustrated, Im disappointed," Winnipeg coach Claude Noel said, "and Im not sure what were waiting for. It looks like our team thinks we have a free pass to fail." Daymond Langkow got his first goal of the season 34 seconds in as Phoenix scored twice and had three penalty kills in a dominant first period. Ray Whitney had a goal and an assist for the Coyotes. Smith made 18 saves and stopped Nik Antropovs penalty shot. Andrew Ladd scored for Winnipeg. A noisy capacity crowd of 17,132 was in attendance as the Coyotes began their third season under NHL ownership. Several thousand were Winnipeg fans who didnt find much to cheer about. "Everybody always talks about we have games when theres a lot of visiting fans in there," Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said. "But what it does is really feed on the emotion of the building because you get some visiting fans in there cheering that really puts a burr in your fans butt. I thought our fans did a great job tonight. Believe me, I had visions of hearing Lets go Jets a lot more than we heard tonight." There had been much speculation after last season, when another potential sale of the Coyotes fell through, that the franchise could be headed back to Winnipeg. But the city of Glendale for the second time guaranteed US$25 million to cover losses, and the Atlanta Thrashers headed to Canada instead. Many in the boisterous crowd had barely taken their seats when Langkow scored on an assist from Whitney. The Jets Dustin Byfuglien lost the puck to Whitney, who skated behind the Winnipeg net, then flipped the puck to Langkow. Stationed in front, Langkow tapped the puck past goalie Chris Mason. Phoenix made it 2-0 when Ekman-Larsson scored an unassisted goal with 10:48 remaining in the first period. Several players were in a scrum right in front of the Winnipeg net when the puck slipped out to Masons right to Ekman-Larsson, who fired it sharply past the Jets goalie. Ekman-Larssons nasty slap shot from way outside made it 3-0 with 5:03 to go in the second. Winnipeg broke through when what appeared to be a harmless shot by Ladd slipped between Smiths legs with 18.9 seconds left in the second. The Coyotes made it 4-1 on Whitneys power-play goal with 6:43 remaining. Langkow left the ice after taking a puck to the face just less than five minutes into the game. He went to his knees for several minutes before slowly skating away but returned late in the opening period. With 10:50 to play, Antropov was awarded a penalty shot but his attempt from the left side of the net was blocked by Smith. Evander Kane ran over Smith behind the Phoenix net with 9:04 to play, leading to a penalty that negated a Jets goal. Smith was slow to get up, grabbing his left leg as he got back to his feet, but stayed in the game.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Peyton Manning says its going to take him a while to settle into his new digs in Denver after spending 14 years in Indianapolis. He looked right at home in his new duds Thursday, though. Mannings passes on the first day of Broncos training camp were as powerful and precise as ever, delighting his coaches, teammates and the 4,371 boisterous fans who crammed into the teams Dove Valley complex for their first glimpse of Manning in orange and blue. The biggest crowd for a non-stadium practice in team history watched Mannings first practice in front of fans in nearly two years. "We had (Tim) Tebow last year and he brings out his own fan base," Champ Bailey said. "Just to see more people out here on the first day than Ive seen in the past, its great. I think everybodys starting to expect some good things from us." The Broncos, without a winning season since 2006, welcome those high expectations. "I mean, Ive always been confident, but it does help when you have a four-time MVP as your quarterback," Bailey said. The crowd greeted Manning when he ran onto the field, just as they welcomed Tebow a year ago, with huge cheers and chants. "Im going to tell you guys a funny story," defensive tackle and top draft pick Derek Wolfe said. "When we came out here today, I was right in front of Manning and I didnt know it. They made a pretty big fuss, and I was like, Why are they yelling so crazy for me? Then I looked behind me and it was Manning standing there." Finally. After starting his first 277 consecutive games, including the playoffs, Manning missed all of last year with a nerve injury that sapped strength from his throwing arm, required four neck operations, led to his teary departure from Indianapolis and spawned the biggest free agent frenzy in NFL history. The Broncos prevailed, thanks largely to John Elways pitch and patience. After signing Manning to a five-year, $96 million deal, the Broncos jettisoned Tebow and the option-oriented offence for a traditional passing approach built around the leagues only four-time MVP. All of the off-season practices were closed to the public, so some fans camped out overnight for the chance to see their new QB Thursday. They were rewarded when Manning put on an absolute clinic during a crisp 2 1/2-hour practice. "I thought it was a good first day," Manning said. "You can tell guys have been working. Its hot out here. We had a real good tempo." Coach John Fox said Mannings work will be regulated during training camp and into the season, but he likes where his arm strength is and wont put any restrictions on the types of throws Manning makes. "He didnt take the last five weeks off by any stretch," Fox said. "Were happy with where he is." So are these fans. There werent No. 15 jerseys dotting the crowd like last year. Nor was there an abundance of errant throws like last summer, when Tebow started out as Kyle Ortons backup before winning the job by default in October and leading Denver into the playoffs despite a 46 per cent completion percentage.

There were plenty of No. 18 jerseys this time, many of which Manning signed after practice. "I look forward to training camp because that means football season is getting closer and I do think this is important work for us," Manning said. "Its certainly important for me, in the two-a-days and getting multiple plays and multiple looks run against our defence." Manning isnt looking back, either. "Ive kind of gotten past that part, and I havent gotten too nostalgic about it," Manning said. "Im glad to be here, glad to be playing with some really good guys and coaches that I enjoy. They really made me feel welcome, which I appreciate." Fox said he has no overriding concerns about Mannings durability: "No. Well, you worry about all players. Every time you go between those lines youre at risk. In answer to your question, I worry about all of them but not because of any past injury." Manning, who has "stopped giving percentages" regarding how healthy he is, said he still has more rehabilitation ahead, but his goal remains to participate fully in training camp, preseason and the regular season. Fox said Manning is a player who "raises all boats," with his work ethic and determination rubbing off on teammates on both sides of the ball. He said he saw that play out even in the off-season. "Part of learning a profession, or getting better, or mastering, or improving in a profession, is watching guys who have done it very well or done it great," Fox said. Running back Lance Ball said offensive players are driven to please Manning. "Hes a player/coach, so he wants things precise, he wants you to be at a certain point at a certain time, just know your stuff and just work hard," Ball said. "Guys put a little pep in their step. They want to make sure theyre on point and right, and pleasing the coaches and also Peyton." Cornerback Tracy Porter, who played the last four seasons with Drew Brees in New Orleans, said Manning makes Denvers defence better, too: "Because facing him forces you to really practice and lock in and watch film and be on top of your technique," Porter said. "Because you dont want to go out to practice and have these guys seeing you out of position. Because they see things before it happens, those Hall of Fame quarterbacks. And you dont want to get the ball thrown at you that often in practice." Manning hasnt played in a game since the Colts wild-card loss to the New York Jets following the 2010 season. "I have missed it, and Ive never taken it for granted to be out there playing," Manning said. "... Ive always felt very fortunate to be playing in a game for a living." Notes: WR Brandon Stokley (flu) was the only absence from practice. DT Justin Bannan (calf) and rookie DE Jamie Blatnick (ankle) were limited. ... Rookie WR Eric Page, who had a chance of making the team as a returner, was released after blowing out a knee last week. ' ' '
