VANCOUVER - Jason LaBarbera shook off some rust and made the most of a rare opportunity Friday. wholesale nfl jerseys . Phoenixs backup goaltender stopped 46 shots and Radim Vrbata and Shane Doan scored goals 1:18 apart on the same power play in the third period as the Coyotes beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1. LaBarberas strong performance was a sharp contrast from his previous start Feb. 23 in Tampa Bay, when he allowed eight goals on 39 shots. My last game was a joke. I got lit up, said LaBarbera, who was making just his third start in the past 31 games. When you have to sit on an eight-goal game like that its not easy. Its been a tough couple of weeks just trying to stay confident. Lee Stempniak added an empty netter for the Coyotes. Vrbata and Doan scored on a five-minute power play in the third after Alex Burrows received a boarding major and game misconduct. Christian Ehrhoff replied for the Canucks to briefly cut the Phoenix lead to 2-1. Roberto Luongo finished with 26 saves as Vancouver lost for the first time in seven games. Phoenix, meanwhile, has won five straight and six of its last seven. The Coyotes (39-23-12) pulled within a point of the Pacific Division-leading San Jose Sharks. Perhaps more importantly, Phoenix gained a stronger post-season foothold it the battle to be among the Western Conferences top-eight teams. Phoenix retained fourth place in the conference, while moving four points ahead of the idle Los Angeles Kings. LaBarbera, a former Canuck, thrived on the opportunity to perform before family and friends as he improved his all-time record to 4-1-0 against Vancouver. Im a hometown kid, right? he said. I got to play here. Anytime you play in this building. Its an unbelievable atmosphere. LaBarbera was especially sharp early in the third on a Vancouver 5-on-3 power play. The Canucks controlled the puck in the Phoenix end, but could not beat the Coyotes netminder, who caught a break when Mason Raymond missed a pass while facing an open net. Vancouver (47-17-9) lost Burrows after he face-planted Vernon Fiddler into the end boards at 11:09 of the third. Fiddler went to the dressing room for evaluation of a possible concussion. Earlier in the week, league general manager announced a new initiative to enforce existing boarding and charging penalties more strictly. Vrbata beat Luongo with a backhand from the slot at 13:31 before Doan ripped a slapshot from the point at 14:49. Burrows said the infraction was not worthy of a major. When I go back for the puck like that, my intention is to get the puck and move it to my partner, he said. I tried to get there. I didnt want to drive him through the boards ... I just tried to get the puck off him. Fiddler did not criticize him for the hit. I was dazed at first but thats part of the game. Youre going to get bumps and bruises, he said. I was going in on the forecheck and I dont remember what happened after that. Burrows felt his major was influenced by the general managers meetings. Yeah, I think so, and I agree with the NHL decision about it, obviously, to be making sure to limit head shots and try to prevent concussions and that kind of stuff, said Burrows. But at the same time, youve gotta make sure that you make the right call when its out there. Meanwhile, Fiddler was subject to the leagues new concussion-testing protocol, which requires players to be examined by a doctor in the dressing room. I went through a protocol, they asked me a bunch of questions, just a typical neuro-psyche test and I just did what I was asked and that was it, said Fiddler, adding he felt fine. Said Tippett: (Fiddler) came back to the bench and I asked the trainer, Is he good to go? He said, Yes, hes good to go. Notes: Vancouver was without Manny Malhotra due to a serious eye injury.

BOSTON -- The Baltimore Orioles did plenty to hurt their chances despite Chris Davis team-record 51st homer. The best fielding team in the majors committed three errors, Scott Feldman walked a season-high six batters and they had to face Boston closer Koji Uehara, who had retired his previous 37 hitters. But Danny Valencia ended that streak with a triple to lead off the ninth, Matt Wieters hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly and the Orioles beat the Red Sox 3-2 on Tuesday night to stay two games behind in the AL wild-card race. "They were real frustrated that we didnt make a couple of plays that we normally made," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said, "but the bullpen was really good. Scotty bent but didnt break. "You dont like your chances there with Koji, but we got a big hit from Danny." Despite the loss, Bostons magic number to clinch the AL East dropped to three when Tampa Bay lost to Texas 7-1. The Orioles overcame a 2-0 deficit on Brian Roberts run-scoring groundout in the fifth and Davis homer in the sixth that tied the score 2-2 and broke the club record set by Brady Anderson in 1996. "Im excited," Davis said. "Ive said it all along. When youre hitting homers and your teams not winning it feels like its kind of for nothing. So I was obviously glad to tie the game." The homer came off starter Ryan Dempster, who allowed three hits in six innings. "He just lifted that ball and got it up in the air -- way, way, way up in the air -- and it just kept carrying," Dempster said. Uehara (4-1) fell four outs short of Bobby Jenks major league record for a reliever of 41 consecutive retired batters set in 2007 and Mark Buehrles mark for all pitchers of 45 in 2009. The run was the first off Uehara in 30 2-3 innings and ended a streak of 27 scoreless outings since July 9. "I wasnt aware of it," Valencia said, "but Im not surprised by it because hes got great stuff." Valencia led off the ninth with a triple to centre and pinch-runner Alexi Casilla scored easily on Wieters fly to right. Tommy Hunter (6-4) got the win with a perfect eighth. Jim Johnson got hhis AL-best 46th save. [url=http://www.worldsocceronlineshop.com/Liverpool-Fc-Rickie-Lambert-Jersey.htm... Lambert Liverpool Jersey[/url]. "Kojis been so good for us," Boston manager John Farrell said. "Even after the run allowed, he continued to pitch as he has. It didnt faze him and he finished out the inning. The Red Sox managed just three hits, a leadoff homer by Dustin Pedroia in the first, a double by Mike Carp in the second and a single by Jarrod Saltalamacchia with one out in the ninth. The Orioles threatened in the eighth when Nate McLouth singled and took third on Manny Machados AL-leading 51st double with no outs. But Craig Breslow replaced Brandon Workman and needed just six pitches to get out of the jam. With the infield in, he got Davis and Adam Jones to ground out to shortstop Stephen Drew as the runners held then retired Nick Markakis on a fly to left. The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead on Pedroias ninth homer of the season. Left fielder McLouth didnt even move as it went deep into the seats above the Green Monster. They made it 2-0 in the fourth with the help of two errors by a team that had made just 43 all year. With one out and third baseman Machado playing in short right field on the shift for Saltalamacchia, he charged a hard grounder and let it get by him for an error. Drew then walked before a double steal put runners at second and third. Xander Bogaerts followed with a low liner to left field that McLouth charged. The ball hit off his glove for an error and Saltalamacchia scored. Bogaerts was credited with a sacrifice fly. Machado made a throwing error in the seventh on a grounder down the line by Pedroia. The Orioles made it 2-1 in the fifth when Valencia walked, took third on a double by J.J. Hardy and scored on a groundout by Roberts.
