Notes on Alexander Ovechkins return to greatness, defending Rick Nash, cautiously praising Brian Elliott, Craig Anderson and Cory Schneider as well as the Canucks sudden depth down the middle. ITS GREAT TO BE BACK Alexander Ovechin scored again last night, because thats what he does now, finding the net in 10 of the last 12 games. As hes now tied with Tampa Bays Steven Stamkos for the leagues goal-scoring lead, Ovechkin is considered "back". Maybe not the superstar who scored 65 goals in 2007-2008, but not the slug who scored a mere 70 goals (ranking fifth in the league) over the past two seasons. Thing is, aside from a slow start (two goals, one assist, minus-3 in the first eight games) to this season, Ovechkin has been doing a lot more right than wrong. Thats not a reference to his shift to right wing under new head coach Adam Oates, though that position adjustment could help explain some of his early woes. When Ovechkin broke through for a hat trick on February 23 against New Jersey, I noted that he had just wrapped up an 11-game span in which he registered 55 shots on goal. By way of comparison, he currently leads the league (minimum 20 GP) with an average of 4.5 shots on goal per game, so five per game isnt the mark of someone just floating through the league. At his career peak, Ovechkin led the league with 6.7 shots on goal per game (528 in 79 games) during the 2008-2009 season. That hes not at that level now isnt so outrageous because no one else is even close. Since 2000-2001, Ovechkin is the only player in the league to average five shots on goal per game for a full season and hes done it four times, but that should make it clear just how far out of the realm of reasonable expectations it is to think that Ovechkin (or anyone else) could put up 6.7 shots per game over a full season again. Anyway, as recently as a month ago, Ovechkin was taking heat after a weekend in which he was a combined minus-5 in back-to-back losses to the Islanders and Rangers and it was only exacerbated by Sidney Crosby putting up five assists against the Islanders the same day that Ovechkin was taking a minus-3 against the Rangers (because, till the end of time, anything these two players do must be viewed in comparison to the other). In the last 34 games, Ovechkin has 24 goals, 17 assists and is plus-5. His shooting percentage this season (14.6%) is the highest of his career, so regression is poised to catch up to him, but for any and all that were prepared to bury the career of the Capitals 27-year-old franchise player, maybe just set those shovels down for a while. NASH IN NEW YORK The player who is second to Ovechkin in shots on goal per game this season, at 4.2 per game (146 in 35 games) is New York Rangers RW Rick Nash. With the Rangers failing to meet preseason expectations and Nashs former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, exceeding expectations with an unanticipated push for a playoff spot, its been popular to look at last summers trade between the teams as the catalyst for their current fortunes. Its difficult to pin the Rangers troubles on Nash, though, as he has 17 goals, 18 assists and a plus-15 rating in 35 games. Hes one of eight players to have at least 15 goals and a plus-15 rating this season and the rest of them are with much more successful teams. None of this changes the fact that the Rangers have struggled and the Blue Jackets have thrive, relative to expectations, but the blame shouldnt fall on Nash. The Blue Jackets surge is due, in large part, to Sergei Bobrovsky providing a massive upgrade in goal. Even with a worse shot differential (minus-3.3 per game this year compared to minus-1.0 per game last year), the Blue Jackets are getting much better results and they can thank Bobrovskys .930 save percentage for a large part of that difference. In the Rangers case, while Nash and centre Derek Stepan have been productive, the same couldnt be said for Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik (who is obviously a bigger part of the plans in Columbus now), who didnt score anywhere near typical levels this season. BLUE PAINT When Brian Elliott joined the St. Louis Blues as a backup goaltender last season, he was locked in a battle (with Ben Bishop) just to make the team. Then, Elliott not only made the team but, sharing time with Jaroslav Halak, led the league with a 1.56 goals against average and .940 save percentage. Coming off a season in which he posted an .893 save percentage, Elliotts success was highly unlikely, but it earned the 28-year-old a two-year contract, worth $3.6-million, with the Blues. When this season started, though, Elliott was getting lit up. In five appearances between February 5 and March 3, he allowed 22 goals (6.20 GAA, .805 SV%), earning a trip to the AHL. A couple of solid starts (1.51 GAA, .946 SV%) later, Halak was hurt and the Blues brought Elliott back. Since his return, Elliott has won four straight, posting a 1.07 goals against average and .960 save percentage, recording back-to-back shutouts in his last two starts, stabilizing the last line of defence for a Blues team that has allowed a league-low 24.3 shots on goal per game, but has struggled to get consistent goaltending all season. MR. ANDERSON Once traded for Elliott, Ottawa Senators G Craig Anderson returned from six weeks on the injured list with a sprained ankle to play back-to-back games in Tampa Bay and Florida. Unfortunately, Anderson stopped 36 of 41 shots (.878 SV%) in two losses, possibly the start of regression that was long due for a goaltender with a .915 career save percentage. When he was hurt, Anderson had a .952 save percentage in his first 15 games of the season, a mark that is unsustainable (Elliott set the save percentage mark last year) over a large sample, though maybe one that is more reasonable to hold close to through an injury-shortened, lockout-shortened season. Nevertheless, now that the Senators have traded Ben Bishop to Tampa Bay, they boast a goaltending tandem of Anderson and Robin Lehner that, collectively has a .941 save percentage. Its why the Senators were ranked higher than most expected in this weeks Power Rankings. If that spectacular goaltending cant hold, then they will fade because the Senators are allowing 32.4 shots against per game, which ranks 28th in the league. CANUCKS TANDEM When the season started, the Vancouver Canucks still had Roberto Luongo on their roster, but expectations far and wide were that 27-year-old Cory Schneider would take the reins as Vancouvers starter. Luongo started strong (.943 SV% in his first seven appearances) while Schneider couldnt get in a groove, posting a mediocre .908 save percentage in his first 10 appearances but as Luongos play has suffered -- his .904 save percentage is a career-low -- hes started about a game per week over the last six weeks and Schneider has risen to the starters role. Since the beginning of March, Schneider is 10-3-2 with a 1.62 goals against average and .943 save percentage. Just as Schneider was better than he showed early in the year, hes not necessarily going to keep playing at this level, but hes one of two goaltenders to have a career save percentage over .925 with at least 50 games played. RYANS RETURN One more promising note for the Canucks is that they got Ryan Kesler back from his latest injury. Coming just after acquiring Derek Roy from the Dallas Stars, the Canucks are suddenly deep down the middle after being undermanned in that position for most of the season. While Roys offensive production hasnt been great this season, he had taken on a more difficult role in Dallas, starting more shifts in the defensive zone and that kind of two-way ability can help the Canucks ease Kesler back into the lineup. In Keslers first game back, for example, Roy spent most of the night matched up against Phoenixs top line of Martin Hanzal, Radim Vrbata and Shane Doan. Having another centre on hand that can face those lines is a decided plus for the Canucks and will give them more options even when they go on the road and dont get to pick and choose their matchups.

Almost to a man, NFL coaches have said they need to avoid confrontations with the replacements and keep focused on the task at hand. "Its our job to go out there and control what we can control," Bill Belichick said following his teams Sunday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens.WASHINGTON -- Jayson Werth helped get the Washington Nationals a little bit closer in the wild-card race. Werths two-out RBI double in the eighth inning capped a late rally and the Nationals avoided a series sweep with a 6-5 win over the New York Mets on Sunday night. The Nationals trailed 5-2 in the seventh, but scored once in that inning on Wilson Ramos run-scoring single and added three in the eighth. The victory moved Washington within 6 1/2 games of Cincinnati for the final National League wild-card berth. The Reds lost at Colorado 7-4 on Sunday. "Were stoked," said Bryce Harper, who reached base three times and contributed during the rally. "I was fired up, unbelievably fired up when (Werth) hit that double. ... Hes been in that situation so many times in his career. That was just an unbelievable moment." Not so much for the Mets bullpen as reliever Gonzalez Germen (1-2) allowed one run after Scott Rice gave up two in the eighth. "Anytime you can win a series, its big," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "This time of the year, youve got to win as many as you can. "Certainly, this is one were going to look back on and kick ourselves a little bit for letting it get away. But yeah, winning a series is big." Rice entered in the eighth with the Mets leading 5-3. New Yorks third pitcher, Rice allowed consecutive singles including Denard Spans pinch-hit single which extended the outfielders hitting streak to 15 games. After Harper sacrificed the runners to second and third, Scott Hairston scored on Anthony Rendons groundout and Span came around on Ryan Zimmermans infield single. Werths second double of the game found the right-centre gap for one of Washingtons 16 hits, scoring Zimmerman from first base. "He had the most unbelievable BP today," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said of Werth. "Hes been swinging the bat good. Hes driven." Because the Nationals drove in those late runs, they wont be lugging a losing skid with them to their next series. Johnson: "I cant sleep as it is. ... Id have nightmares riding on the bus to Philly. There is a lot of baseball left. We just have to keep chugging away one game at a time." Recalled from Triple-A Syracuse before the game, reliever Erik Davis (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth. "It was exciting to get in there on my first day back," Davis said. "I was just happy to get out there and put up a zero. It was an awesome comeback by us." Rafael Soriano, Washingtons sixth pitcher, finished the Mets off in the ninth for his 36th save.dddddddddddd Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda each drove in two runs, and Matt de Dekker smacked his first career home run for the Mets. New York last swept a series from Washington May 25-27, 2009. Murphys hot hitting stretch continued with an RBI double in the first inning and a two-out run-scoring single in the fifth against Ross Ohlendorf. The second baseman has 11 hits in his past 19 at-bats. New York had 30 hits during the past two games. Mets starter Jonathon Niese never had a 1-2-3 inning, but the Nationals managed only single runs in the second and fourth against him. He allowed two runs and 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings before leaving with a left leg cramp. "Its that kind of year," Niese said of New Yorks string of injuries, including first baseman Ike Davis on Saturday. "Today was tough, it was so humid. I was crushing Gatorades and water, and still cramping up." Scott Atchison replaced Niese with two outs in the sixth and stranded two inherited runners. Ramos RBI single against Atchison in the seventh made it 5-3. "We finally got some hits with runners out there," Johnson said. "It took a while." Murphy followed Eric Youngs leadoff double with a two-base hit for New Yorks first run and scored one out later on Dudas single. Another RBI single from Duda, who started for Davis, made it 5-2 in the seventh. New York went ahead 3-0 as de Dekkers first major league home run landed in the second deck of the right-centre field stands. Ohlendorf pitched five innings, allowing four runs and nine hits. He had a 2.82 ERA in four previous starts this season. Notes: Zimmerman had three hits. ...The Mets, with their rotation depleted by injuries, have signed RHP Aaron Harang to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas of the Pacific Coast League. Harang was 5-11 with a 5.76 ERA in 22 starts this year for the Seattle Mariners. Overall, he has pitched 12 years in the majors, going 110-115 with a 4.29 ERA. ... The Mets also called up three players, including RHP Vic Black, who was acquired on Aug. 27 from the Pirates in a deal that sent OF Marlon Byrd and C John Buck to Pittsburgh. ... Washington also recalled RHP Ian Krol from Triple-A Syracuse and catcher Sandy Leon from Double-A Harrisburg. ... RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (0-2, 8.68 ERA) opposes Paul Maholm (9-10, 4.37) as New York opens a three-game series at Atlanta on Monday. ... Washington plays at Philadelphia on Monday as RHP Stephen Strasburg (6-9, 2.96 ERA) faces LHP Cole Hamels (6-13, 3.58 ERA). ' ' '
