RALEIGH, N.C. -- Justin Peters wants the Carolina Hurricanes to believe in him. They say they do -- especially after performances like this. Peters stopped 21 shots in his third career shutout and the Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 1-0 on Thursday night. Radek Dvorak scored a deflected goal in the first period to help the Hurricanes win their second straight following a five-game slide that coincided with a lower-body injury to starting goalie Cam Ward. Peters has allowed a total of one goal in those victories. "Hes given us an opportunity to win these last two games," coach Kirk Muller said. "Hes done his job. Wed like to say were going to score more than one or two goals, but you know what, theres nights you dont have to. Hes given us a confidence that we can just go out and play our game ... and play it the way we want to play it." Peters, making his sixth straight start, made one of his best saves in the final minute of the second period when he stopped a streaking Michael Grabner after a turnover. The Hurricanes blocked 13 shots, three by forward Tuomo Ruutu. Peters finished with the Hurricanes first shutout of the season and his first since blanking Washington last March 12. "I want to create confidence in the team. I have confidence in them, and Im just trying to build that confidence," Peters said. "Every day, we become more confident in each other because we trust each other, because were playing the right way. When we play the right way ... thats when we get rewarded." All six of Carolinas wins have come by one goal. "Games are tight and theres not a lot of room out there," Muller said. "We found a way to win." Backup Kevin Poulin made 23 saves in his second start in six days for the Islanders. They have lost two straight and four of six, and were shut out for the first time this season. "Its frustrating to sit here and not even get a point in that game when I felt we deserved a little better," coach Jack Capuano said, "but thats the way it goes." At the very least, their penalty-kill unit showed improvement. They shut down both of Carolinas power plays after giving up four goals with the man disadvantage in a 6-2 loss to the Capitals two nights earlier. The Hurricanes, who have made a habit of falling behind early, scored the first goal of a game for the first time since mid-October -- and needed a deflection to do it. "It was a little almost unusual we got that first one," forward Jordan Staal said. Poulin tried to clear the puck from behind the net but Ron Hainsey kept it in at the blue line, then threw it at the net and Dvorak tipped it in from the side of the net at 6:39. What turned out to be the games only goal also marked Carolinas first in a 5-on-5 situation since Oct. 25. In the four games in between, they scored four goals -- two on the power play, one with a sixth attacker and one in a 4-on-4 overtime to beat Philadelphia two nights earlier. Meanwhile, the Islanders gave themselves plenty of scoring chances but too few pucks on net: New York put just 12 shots on goal during the first two periods. "We gave him an opportunity to make that first save, and our D did a good job of blocking people out in front of the net and preventing those second and third rebounds," Muller said. Added Capuano: "Missed too many shots." NOTES: Hainsey has assists in two straight games -- his only two assists of the season. ... Carolina D Brett Bellemore found himself in two fights in the second, trading punches with Matt Martin before coming to blows with Kyle Okposo. ... New Yorks Travis Hamonic scrapped with Nathan Gerbe early in the third. Nike Free Run Dam Rea .

For a player that was looked upon derisively by Raptors fans only 11 weeks ago, his turnaround (as a result of his strong play all summer) has been as swift as has been thorough. Its hard to encounter anyone who has watched Valanciunas this summer who has not come away impressed by the ultra-aggressive seven-footer. http://www.airmaxreaonline.com/nike-air-max-90.html .C. -- No lead was safe for either Pittsburgh or Carolina until James Neal ended a back-and-forth game in overtime.

DALLAS -- The San Jose Sharks kept their cool in a physical game, cashing in on two of their first three power-play chances to pave the way to another road win. Brent Burns and Logan Couture each scored a power-play goal, Antti Niemi stopped 30 shots and the Sharks extended Dallas losing streak to five games with a 4-1 victory over the Stars on Saturday night. A total of 100 penalty minutes were assessed, 53 minutes to the Stars in a game that included three fights and four misconducts. "Prior to the game we talked about composure and discipline," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "We knew theyd taken a ton of penalties, they were the second-most penalized team in the league. We thought that would come into play at some point and we needed only two power-play goals. I was happy we responded physically but we were quite disciplined." Brad Winchester and Jamie McGinn added even-strength goals, while Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau contributed two assists apiece as San Jose improved to 5-1-1 in its last seven games and moved to 6-2 on the road. "For whatever reason, were confident on the road," Thornton said. "We like playing on the road. It took us a while to get into the game, but we got our legs and got going." Dallas, which has hit the skids after an 11-3 start, had been shut out in its previous two games and has been outscored 21-4 in its last five. Mike Ribeiros goal at 6:22 of the third period ended Dallas shutout streak at 194 minutes, 11 seconds. "Were in a hole, theres no question about it, and you cant just jump out of a hole this deep, you have to kind of dig your way up and dig your way out and I thought we were moving in that direction," Stars rookie coach Glen Gulutzan said. The Stars did get some good news Friday when Vancouver businessman Tom Gaglardi was announced as their new owner. Gaglardi was at Saturday nights game and will be introduced at a press conference Monday. The team had been controlled by creditors for former owner Tom Hicks, who bought the club for US$84 million in December 1995, but ran into financial problems. The Stars, who began the night last in the NHL in average home attendance, announced a crowd of 13,711. San Jose capitalized on the games first power play when Burns skated up the left side and to the net, where he converted Thorntons centring pass at 4:58 of the opening period for his foourth goal of the season.dddddddddddd The Sharks grabbed a 2-0 lead at 1:23 of the second period when Couture fired a loose puck past Dallas goalie Andrew Raycroft from close range for his seventh goal of the season, 28 seconds into San Joses third power play of the night. The frustrated Stars were involved in two fights within a span of two seconds early in the second period. Dallas Krys Barch squared off against Jim Vandermeer, and Eric Nystrom of the Stars traded punches with McGinn. Less than a minute after the second fight, the Sharks stretched their advantage to 3-0 when Winchester flipped the puck into the top right corner of the net for his second goal of the season on a shot that seemed to fool Raycroft. "They lost four in a row, gave up a couple of goals, and frustration set in," Vandermeer said of the second-period fights. "I thought we did a good job of not reacting too much to it." McGinns second goal of the season made it 4-0 at 4:34 of the final period. Afterward, Gulutzan said that in his opinion, his team isnt getting an even break on penalty calls. He also admitted that the problems are compounded when the Stars complain to the referees. "I might sound like a whiny coach and Ill go out there and say it, but I had some beefs with the officiating when we were 11-3 and now that were 11-8, I still have them," Gulutzan said. "I think those beefs are warranted. Weve kind of been keeping a log of it. I think were on the wrong end of a lot of calls, but I think its our fault. "We whine like little babies throughout the game. ... Were going to change that culture here and weve got to do it by zipping our mouths one step at a time. The refs are human and if you whine that much, youre not going to get the calls." NOTES: The Stars havent been shut out in three straight games since Jan. 30 to Feb. 4, 1988, when the franchise was in Minnesota. ... Raycroft was making his fourth start of the season, first at home. ... Dallas had been outshot by 34 in the first period of their previous four games, but the Stars held a 14-10 shots edge in the opening 20 minutes against the Sharks. San Jose then dominated the second period with an 18-7 advantage in shots. ... The Pacific Division rivals played the first of six games between them this season. ... D Alex Goligoski (broken thumb) and forward Adam Burish (hand) were out for Dallas. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
