NORFOLK, Va. -- Alexandre Picard was at the right place at the right time, which has been his story throughout the playoffs. Picard scored for the seventh time in 11 games, hammering home a rebound at 15:38 of the second period Saturday to give the Norfolk Admirals a lead, then added an empty-net goal for a 3-1 win over the St. Johns IceCaps. The victory gave the Admirals a 2-0 lead in the American Hockey Leagues Eastern Conference final. The teams return to St. Johns, N.L., for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Tuesday. There were signs of a long night for the IceCaps when Norfolks Richard Panik scored from long range only 51 seconds into the game. Two nights earlier, St. Johns goalie Eddie Pasquale had been victimized by outside shooting in a 6-1 loss. He gave up four of the six goals before being lifted. But on Saturday, Pasquale settled in, withstood a four-shot Admirals onslaught that came on the heels of Paniks goal and started to get some help from the rest of the IceCaps. They spent much of the evening emulating the Admirals: diving to stop shots, taking pucks against the body to keep them away from the goalie. "Any time you get scored on in that first shift, its mentally tough to turn that page and get back to where you need to be," St. Johns coach Keith McCambridge said. "Especially with the guys really wanting this game. You could feel it in the dressing room, and to have that start makes it an uphill climb to get back to where you need to be. "Eddie made some key saves to let us get our feet back under us." "I thought Pasquale was outstanding the first 16 minutes or it might have been a different game," said Admirals coach Jon Cooper. "Thats the way hes been in the playoffs so far. But our guy is standing tall as well." The shot blocking was just the kind of help Norfolk goalie Dustin Tokarski was getting at the other end of the ice, though he had moments in which he had to go it alone. For all the help he got, Tokarski still faced 31 shots, saving 30 of them as he won for the sixth time in eight playoff games this season. He was particularly strong near the end of the opening period, when a spate of Admiral penalties put them in a 5-on-3 power play hole. St. Johns took advantage of it with a pass to Aaron Gagnon on the goalies doorstep. Tokarski slid across to turn the shot back, and seconds later, he punctuated the period with a glove save on a blast by St. Johns Jason King. As the buzzer sounded, Tokarski turned his glove with his wrist in a bit of flair, delighting the 6,249 on hand. "Without him, were probably not sitting here right now," Cooper said of Tokarski, who has won six of eight playoff games this season. "Maybe were sitting here right now, but probably not 2-0." McCambridge said that the IceCaps needed to do more with what opportunities they had. "When you compare it to the first game ... I thought we did a much better job," he said. "Weve got to do a better job of getting to the second and third chances in front of their net to get some rebounds. But their goalie isnt giving up many." St. Johns tied things at 1-1 only 1:51 into the second period when John Albert popped a rebound past Tokarski, who had rejected Paul Postmas bomb from the blue-line but did not control the rebound. That set things up for Picards heroics, which finished off a 2-0 series lead for Norfolk, its first of the playoffs. "This is a good team were playing," McCambridge said "Theyre good on their home ice, but we think were good on our home ice, too. I thought there were some real positives, some things we can take from tonights game and use to get some pucks behind their goalie. Our game is at a better level than Game 1, obviously. Its more the type of game we thought we would be playing." John Hannah Jersey . He didnt even match his first-half total from Friday night.

Grant has fought his way to a UFC title shot against lightweight champion Benson (Smooth) Henderson. After reeling off five straight wins at 155 pounds, the 29-year-old from Cole Harbour, N.S., has been rewarded with a main event matchup against the American at UFC 164. The card is slated for Aug. 31 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee. Grant (21-5) earned his 155-pound title shot by knocking out longtime contender Gray Maynard in the first round at UFC 160 on May 25. "Its been a long, slow road," said Grant. "At times, people have said to me How come youre not getting the exposure and this or that? "I just kept winning fights," he added. "Thats the only thing you can control ... Its tough to get wins in the UFC. But if you keep rattling them off, youre going to make some noise." As a lightweight, the hard-nosed Grant has beaten Shane Roller, Carlos Prater, Evan Dunham, (Handsome) Matt Wiman and Maynard. And he has looked better each time out, disposing of Wiman and Maynard in a combined six minutes 57 seconds. "I dont really necessarily talk a lot of trash but I feel like I have an exciting style," said Grant. "Im not flashy, I dont do any jumping-off-the-cage kicks or anything like that. "But I know if you watch one of my fights, when I go out there I can guarantee win or lose, Im going to put everything I have out there. Im going to take risks, I always do. I feel like the fans can connect with that. "Hopefully I made some fans in my last fight. I just like to go out there and put on some exciting fights, obviously en route to victory always." Grant took it on the chin early from Maynard, who rocked him with some solid strikes. The Canadian weathered the storm and then hit back, stunning Maynard with a shot to the head before finishing him off at the fence. Thhe finish earned him a US$50,000 bonus for knockout of the night.dddddddddddd Grant is bidding to become the UFCs third ever Canadian champion. Montreals Georges St-Pierre currently rules the UFCs welterweight division. Carlos Newton of Newmarket, Ont., held the same title in 2001. Grant went 3-3 as a welterweight (170 pounds) in the UFC, alternating wins over Ryo Chonan, Kevin Burns and Julio Paulino with losses to Dong Hyun (Stun Gun) Kim, Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks and Ricardo Almeida. In the 29-year-old Henderson, he meets a fighter at the top of his game. The lightweight champion was arguably the UFCs best fighter in 2012, when he dethroned Frankie (The Answer) Edgar in February at UFC 144 and then won a split decision in their UFC 150 rematch in August. He finished off the year by comprehensively defeating Nate Diaz in December in Seattle. Well-rounded with great cardio and excellent wrestling skills, the Arizona-based champion opened 2013 by beating former Strikeforce title-holder Gilbert Melendez via split decision in April. Henderson (18-2) went 5-1 in the WEC, losing only to Anthony (Showtime) Pettis. He is 7-0 since moving over to the UFC. Hendersons last eight fights have all gone to a decision. "Hes the champion for a reason," said Grant. "Hes beat guys and then hes defended his title. People can criticize him for winning these close, boring fights but Ive never thought anything but how impressive he is. "I know Ive got my work cut out for me. Hes a totally different fighter than my last opponent. ... Hes dangerous in all kinds of areas so its back to work." Notes: Its been a big year for Grant. He and wife Belinda welcomed daughter Casey in April. ... The Milwaukee card is dubbed the Harley-Davidson Hometown Throwdown, since it is happening during the motorcycle manufacturers 110th anniversary celebration. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
