(SportsNetwork.com) - Having struggled offensively in back-to-back games following the All-Star break, the New York Rangers try to avoid their longest skid in over two months on Saturday night as they host the Carolina Hurricanes. The Rangers put together a 16-3-0 mark over 19 games leading up to the All- Star break, but followed the hiatus with a 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders two days prior to Thursdays 1-0 setback to the Montreal Canadiens. Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves versus the Habs in the opener of a four-game homestand and did not allow the only goal of the game until there was 4:17 left. He was finally solved by the Habs when Max Pacioretty snapped a shot through the legs of Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh. Its tough for any goalie to pick up a shot like that with a quick release and a little bit of a screen by myself, McDonagh said. New York now tries to avoid losing three in a row for the first time since an 0-1-2 slide from Nov. 13-17. The Blueshirts havent lost three in a row in regulation since Oct. 11-14. The Rangers do draw a favorable matchup as they have won four straight and 14 of their last 15 meetings with the Hurricanes. That includes a sweep of a home-and-home series on Dec. 20-21, capped with a 1-0 triumph in New York. The Blueshirts have won eight in a row at home in this series as backup Cam Talbot made 18 saves and McDonagh scored in the first period. New York has not lost at home to Carolina since Oct. 29, 2010 and Lundqvist is 19-9-1 versus the Hurricanes with a 2.13 goals against average and .924 save percentage in 29 meetings. Anton Khudobin made 30 saves in the recent setback to the Rangers. Khudobin had a rough go of things last night for the Hurricanes, getting lifted early in a 3-2 shootout loss as he yielded two goals on three shots. Cam Ward halted all 29 shots he faced through overtime in relief as Carolina rallied to get a point. The goalie change was more just to slow their momentum down, said Carolina head coach Bill Peters. Its obviously not a reflection of the goaltender, but we didnt start on time, thats for sure. Justin Faulk and Ryan Murphy lit the lamp for the Hurricanes, who had a three- game winning streak snapped. Ward gave up the only goal of the shootout, beat by defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk in the second round. Carolina begins a four-game road trip tonight and Ward figures to get the start. He is 10-12-4 versus the Rangers in 27 meetings, posting a 2.44 GAA, .924 save percentage and two shutouts. Yeezy 350 Boost v2 Cream White .

Entertaining. Disappointing. The Toronto Blue Jays wrapped up yet another roller-coaster season Sunday rife with emotion. We were an entertaining team, manager John Gibbons said before the season finale against Baltimore. A frustrating team but very entertaining. I think we gave our fans some pretty good entertainment along the way. But in saying that too were all disappointed. Toronto went into the final game with an 83-78 record, tied with the Yankees for second in the AL East. The Jays were 38-24, six games atop the American League East, on June 6 -- fuelled in large part by a 21-9 May (a .700 record for the month). If May was the peak, August was the valley. The team slumped to a 9-17 record (.346) with Adam Lind, Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Lawrie missing chunks of action through injury. Every team goes into the season optimistically, all 30 of them. But realistically not all 30 have a shot. We felt we had a shot, Gibbons said. General manager Alex Anthopoulos also said the team fell short. We didnt achieve our goals. That goes without saying, he said. Its more disheartening this season, I felt like we were close. Obviously we were theere the bulk of the year, he added.dddddddddddd But he repeated his confidence in Gibbons, who has a rolling contract that kicks in every Jan. 1 Anthopoulos said he was excited about the off-season, given the team has some roster flexibility in terms of options and expiring contracts. But he said it was too early to talk about the 2015 payroll, reportedly around US$137 million this season The GM did repeat Torontos stance that it wont offer contacts longer than five years. The team will have to dig deep into its pocket to re-sign left-fielder Melky Cabrera and needs to solve question-marks in centre-field, second base and the bullpen. The bench and defence also has to be upgraded. The starting rotation of R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Drew Hutchinson, Marcus Stroman and J.A. Happ was better than expected once it came together. Aaron Sanchez, used in the bullpen, is also likely to see action as a starter in spring training. You can never have enough depth, Anthopoulos said when asked whether the team can afford to trade any of its starting talent. Anthopoulos said the team is reviewing what it can do to keep oft-injured third baseman Lawrie on the field. ' ' '
