LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The banners are affixed to the rafters, and the Stanley Cup has been put away. The Los Angeles Kings finally got back to the everyday business of winning hockey with a boost from the line with the catchiest nickname from last seasons championship run.Kings linemates Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson each had a goal and an assist in Los Angeles first victory of the season, 4-1 over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.Martin Jones made 29 saves for the Kings, who took a four-goal lead in the second period and cruised to their first win in three games. Los Angeles got a dominant game from That 70s Line — the jersey-number-inspired name for Carters line with youngsters Toffoli and Pearson.Right from camp, it kind of clicked for us, said Pearson, who still is technically a rookie despite his Stanley Cup ring. Chemistry is such a big thing in this league, and Im just trying to do my part. Winning the first (title) makes you hungry for another one. We started a little slow this season, but this one is progress.Anze Kopitar also scored and Drew Doughty had two assists for the Kings, who began a six-game homestand with the same type of physical, skilled hockey that led to a championship four months ago.The Kings were shut out by San Jose in their banner-raising home opener last Wednesday, and they blew an early two-goal lead before losing in overtime at Arizona on Saturday night.Were just playing a lot more connected then we did in the first two games, Kopitar said. And we didnt give up much.Bryan Little scored for Winnipeg, which lost two of three on its season-opening road trip, scoring just one goal in back-to-back weekend losses in California.Michael Hutchinson stopped 10 of 13 shots before getting pulled from his first start of the season and his fourth career NHL appearance. Ondrej Pavelec finished up the Jets second loss in two appearances at Staples Center.We knew they were going to come hard after dropping their first two games, and they did, Hutchinson said. I know the third goal wasnt the best, and it came at a crucial point in the game.Blake Wheeler was still steamed about a hit by Kings defenceman Robyn Regehr on young Jets forward Mark Scheifele late in the second period. Wheeler, a U.S. Olympian and the Jets leading scorer last season, immediately instigated a fight with Regehr, earning 17 minutes in penalties.I felt like it was knee on knee, Wheeler said. And I feel like if it went the other way, it would have been the same (reaction), so no, I dont think I overreacted.Wheeler has two fights in the Jets first three games, and his penalties took him off the ice for much of the third period. Coach Paul Maurice doesnt mind.He didnt like the hit, Maurice said. Nobody did. And you want that reaction, rather than screaming at the ref. I like the way (Wheeler) plays, how hard he competes, and its a good example for our team.After Toffoli opened the scoring with a rebound goal, Kopitar got his first point of the season midway through the first period with a goal set up by Marian Gaborik, who also recorded his first point. Doughty assisted on both goals for his first multipoint game of the season after managing just four last year.Hutchinson couldnt squeeze a stoppable shot by Pearson early in the second period, and Maurice sent Pavelec over the boards.Shortly after Carter scored on Toffolis rebound late in the second, Little converted Michael Froliks rebound for his third goal in three games.Jones punctuated his sharp outing with a point-blank save on an undefended Andrew Ladd early in the third period.NOTES: Los Angeles D Jake Muzzin still hasnt played this season because of an undisclosed injury, but says he is close. Brayden McNabb played his third straight game in Muzzins place. ... Winnipeg opens a five-game homestand Thursday against Nashville. ... Jets F Evander Kane missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury that will keep him out for two weeks. Anthony Beauvillier Jersey . As the schedule flipped from November to December, they would go on to drop five straight, falling six games below the .500 mark before a franchise-altering trade turned them into an unrecognizable team. Billy Smith Jersey .Y. -- When the New York Islanders lead was cut in half in the opening minute of the third period, the sense of impending doom began wafting through Nassau Coliseum. http://www.nhlislandershockeystore.com/ ... le-jersey/. The 24-year-old Raley was 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA for Chicago in his first two career starts after being called up from Iowa on Aug. 7.

Future Hall of Famer Ricky Ray is in his prime and back for a third season in double blue.

Josh Bailey Jersey .Lets go back to the Avs, who have become one of the funnest teams to watch in this years playoffs.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Todd Frazier got a second opportunity and made the most of it. Chris Heisey scored from first base on Fraziers 10th-inning double into the left-field corner, and the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 Sunday. Fraziers soft line drive resulted in an inning-ending double play in sixth, when the Reds had loaded the bases against Kyle Lohse. "Fortunately, I got another chance," Frazier said. "The best thing about baseball is you get another chance tomorrow. This time, I only wanted three innings." Heisey drew a two-out, four-pitch walk from Tyler Thornburgh (3-1), and Frazier followed with a line drive that one-hopped the wall. Heisey beat shortstop Jean Seguras off-target relay to the plate to give the Reds three wins in their four-game series against the team with the majors best record at 21-11. "Heisey grinded out a walk and then had to bust it," Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said. "They played the ball perfectly." Third base coach Steve Smith had been criticized by some for having runners thrown out at home several times this season. "Im not known for my eagle eye at the plate. The key is not to get caught up in the moment and swing at bad pitches" said Heisey, who was inserted into the starting lineup when Jay Bruce was scratched with a sore left knee. "Any time the ball is down the line or in the gap, Im thinking of scoring." Brandon Phillips greeted reliever Brandon Kintzler with a tying 425-foot homer to centre with one out in the eighth, Phillips second homer this season and first since April 5. Sam LeCure (1-1) pitched the 10th for the win. Lohse allowed a season-high eight hits, including Brayan Penas home run. Lohse lasted 6 1-3 innings, giving up two runs with one walk and two strikeouts. "It was a weird outing for me," Lohse said.dddddddddddd"They did a good job mixing it up. At first, they were super aggressive. I tried to use that, and they starting taking. They made me work for the outs that I got." Cincinnati starter Alfredo Simon, who hadnt allowed more than two runs in any of his first five starts, gave up three in seven innings, along with five hits. Scooter Gennett hit Simons third pitch of the game 357 feet into the right-field seats for his second homer of this season. The Brewers made it 2-0 in the third on Jonathan Lucroys two-out, RBI single. Pena hit the first pitch of the third inning 456 feet over the right-field wall for his third homer of the season, all in the last five days. He left for a pinch runner with a tight hamstring in the seventh. Khris Davis restored the two-run lead with a solo homer in the fourth. Cincinnati again made it a one-run game in the bottom half on Fraziers sacrifice fly after Phillips led off with a double -- his fourth hit in five at-bats since getting Friday off. Milwaukee had been 4-0 in extra-inning games and 4-0 in one-run games. "We need to send a message that were in this thing and we have to prove it to ourselves," Price said after the Reds improved to 15-16. "Being around .500 isnt what were all about." NOTES: Davis has 15 home runs in his two-year big league career, including five against the Reds. ... Price expects LHP Aroldis Chapman to be activated for the Reds homestand that is scheduled to start Friday. Chapman is due to take Sunday and Monday off before starting and pitching an inning for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He is to throw an inning of relief on Wednesday. Chapman is coming back from surgery to repair injuries to his left eye sustained when he was struck by a line drive during a spring training game on March 19.
