GAME PREVIEW
Feb 16, 2020While it's rare not to see Kansas atop the Big 12 Conference standings in the middle of February, the third-ranked Jayhawks are just a game off the league lead and surging as they host resilient Iowa State on Monday in Lawrence, Kan.The Jayhawks (22-3, 11-1 in Big 12 play) have won 10 straight games, the latest an 87-70 wipeout of Oklahoma at home on Saturday. That victory featured a career-high 24 points from Marcus Garrett, who canned six 3-pointers after making five from beyond the arc in his first 11 Big 12 games combined.Devon Dotson added 19 points and Udoka Azubuike had 15 points and 17 rebounds in the win to tally his 18th career double-double and 11th this season. Azubuike's 17 rebounds tied his career high.As big as Garrett was on the offensive end, it was his defensive play that helped spark the Jayhawks. Garrett's two steals led to four straight Kansas points and kicked off a 15-5 run over the final 4:40 of the first half to turn a one-point deficit into a nine-point lead, 41-32, at halftime.Kansas' scoring surge overflowed into the second half, as the Jayhawks came out of the break on a 16-5 run over the first five minutes."We did play decent offensively, we got the ball where it needed to go," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I thought we missed a ton of layups in the first half. It's not very often that we shoot better from the 3-point line than we do from two. Marcus (Garrett) was unbelievable both halves, and he was by far the best player in the game for us. All in all, we'll take it." The Cyclones head to Lawrence on the heels of perhaps their best game in months, an 81-52 win at home over short-handed Texas on Saturday.Michael Jacobson had 21 points and 13 rebounds in the win while Prentiss Nixon and Solomon Young scored 17 points each for the Cyclones (11-14, 4-8 in Big 12 play), who have won two of their past three games but just three of their past 10 outings."What I told the team when we turned to the back nine of the league was 'man, let's go out and see how many we can win,'" coach Steve Prohm told the Des Moines Register. "We've got a chance to have a winning record and a good record to close the back nine." Rasir Bolton added 10 points for Iowa State, which outshot Texas 57 percent to 29 percent and had a 40-27 edge on the glass.The Cyclones were missing star guard Tyrese Haliburton, who is out for the year with a broken wrist, for the second straight game, but easily dispatched the toothless Longhorns. It was Iowa State's most lopsided win ever against Texas."We knew we had to come ready," Jacobson said. "At this point in the season, it's do-or-die mentality for us. We came together. The biggest thing for us all year is to try to find consistency. We've got some pieces. We've got some talent. We just haven't been able to put it together on a nightly basis." Kansas is 183-66 all-time against Iowa State, which includes a 79-53 win in this season's first meeting on Jan. 8 in Ames. The Jayhawks are 94-16 vs. Iowa State in games in Lawrence. Kansas has won 13 of the last 14 games against the Cyclones at Allen Fieldhouse.--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
The New York Islanders' offensive woes didn't originate in Las Vegas. But the Islanders would be happy to have those issues stay in Vegas as they continue a Western Conference road trip on Monday at the Arizona Coyotes in Glendale, Ariz.It will be a pivotal game for both playoff contenders.Each team was off Sunday following games on Saturday. The Islanders remained winless and scoreless on their road trip by falling to the Vegas Golden Knights 1-0, while the host Coyotes earned a much-needed win by outlasting the Washington Capitals 3-1.The loss to the Golden Knights continued chipping away at the little margin for error the Islanders built by collecting points in seven of eight games (5-1-2) from Jan. 19 through Feb. 11. New York, which opened the road trip by losing to the Nashville Predators 5-0 on Thursday, entered Sunday in third place in the Metropolitan Division but just one point ahead of the two wild cards, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Philadelphia Flyers.The back-to-back shutout losses may have served as a wake-up call for the Islanders, who produced a spate of living-dangerously victories earlier this month.New York blew a three-goal lead in a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers last Tuesday, gave up two second-period goals after leading the Washington Capitals by four in a 5-3 victory on Feb. 10 and overcame a pair of two-goal deficits in a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 6."It's been one thing or another the last few games, whether (it's) execution or a play where we don't commit to it and it ends up in the back of the net," Islanders head coach Barry Trotz said Saturday night. "And we've got to score a goal." The Islanders shored up their injury-wracked defensive corps Sunday afternoon by acquiring Andy Greene from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for minor league defenseman David Quenneville and a 2021 second-round draft pick.Greene was the Devils' captain and had spent his entire 14-year career with New Jersey. He will add depth to a unit missing Adam Pelech, who is out for the season with an Achilles injury, and Thomas Hickey, a veteran who is battling a lower-body injury with Bridgeport of the American Hockey League.Greene, 37, has two goals and nine assists in 53 games this season.The Coyotes bought themselves some breathing room Saturday, when they won for just the fourth time in 16 games (4-8-4). The victory over the Capitals vaulted Arizona into a tie for the Western Conference wild-card spots with the Calgary Flames."We had that long flight yesterday and we put that kind of effort in," Coyotes head coach Rich Tocchet said, referring to Arizona's return Friday from a four-game Eastern Conference road trip in which it went 1-2-1."I'm proud. I'm really proud of these guys. We've been in tough spots and these guys rose to the challenge tonight." --Field Level Media

GAMETRACKERBOX SCOREPLAY-BY-PLAYRECLIVEBOX SCOREPLAY-BY-PLAYTWEETSRaanta stops 25 shots in Coyotes' 2-1 win over IslandersGLENDALE, Ariz. A January funk sent the Arizona Coyotes tumbling from the top of the Pacific Division to fighting for a playoff spot.By getting back to their defensive roots, the Coyotes put together their first winning streak in more than a month - against two of the NHL's best road teams, no less.Next step: sustain the momentum.Antti Raanta stopped 25 shots, Conor Garland scored his team-leading 20th goal and Arizona beat the New York Islanders 2-1 on Monday.''I felt the past two games, we were comfortable with who we are,'' Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. ''We have to maintain that. We need to have 21 guys believe in that, not have four, five guys push the envelope someplace else. I felt we had that the past two games.'' Arizona led or was near the Pacific Division lead for the season's first three months during the franchise's best start in recent years. The Coyotes stumbled after the first week of January, losing eight of nine and two more in early February.Arizona returned from a three-game Canadian road trip - with one day's rest - and played one of its best games of the season against Washington on Saturday night.The Coyotes followed with another impressive performance two days later.Raanta was sharp for the second straight game after a shaky performance against Ottawa. Clayton Keller scored his first goal in nine games in the first period, and Garland became Arizona's first 20-goal scorer of the season with a one-timer in the third.The modest two-game winning streak is the Coyotes' first since Dec. 31-Jan. 7 and moves them into a tie for the final Western Conference playoff spot.''We were struggling for a little bit there - all teams struggle throughout the year - and we just wanted to put an end to it,'' Garland said. ''We played the style we want in other games, too, but just didn't get the results. It's nice to get the results.'' The Islanders got off to a shaky start on their four-game Western Conference trip, getting shut out by Nashville and Vegas after scoring 10 combined goals the previous two games.New York failed on numerous good chances against the Coyotes before Anthony Beauviller scored the Islanders' first goal in 166 minutes in the third period. Semyon Varlamov stopped 30 shots.''I think we hit four posts, had a breakaway, one off the knob of his stick and one in the crease,'' Islanders coach Barry Trotz said. ''They say it's a game of inches. It's a game of centimeters right now.'' The Coyotes had one of their best all-around games Saturday night, holding Alex Ovechkin at 698 career goals in a 3-1 victory over Washington.Arizona was buzzing early against the Islanders, creating multiple chances before Keller scored in the opening five minutes. His shot from the slot caromed off New York defenseman Nick Leddy past Varlamov.Raanta, who stopped 36 shots against the Capitals, made a series of tough saves when the Islanders turned up the pressure, particularly during a power play late in the first.Devon Toews nearly slipped one past Raanta early in the second on a sharp-angle shot. The puck went under Raanta's pads, off the toe of his skate and hit the post. A video review showed the puck tumble along the line, but not all the way over it.Garland put the Coyotes up 2-0 early in the third, one-timing a nifty no-look pass from Christian Dvorak.Raanta stopped Brock Nelson on a breakaway shortly after, but Beauvillier scored New York's first goal of the road trip by redirecting Andy Greene's shot past his glove side.The Islanders tried to turn up the pressure, but Raanta made a series of tough saves down the stretch to clinch it.''We did a lot of good things, we just didn't put the puck in the net,'' Islanders left wing Anders Lee said. ''It's been tough for us lately to find goals. We got that one from (Beauvillier) and couldn't get the second one. We had chances over and over and we've just got to find a way to put it in.'' NOTES: The Coyotes have killed off 18 straight penalties after holding New York scoreless in three attempts with the man advantage. ... Greene was in the top defensive pairing with Ryan Pulock after being acquired in a trade from New Jersey on Sunday. ... Dvorak has matched his career high at 37 points. ... The Islanders had a seven-game points streak (5-1-2) against Arizona snapped.UP NEXTThe Islanders play at Colorado on Wednesday.The Coyotes visit Dallas on Wednesday.---More NHL: https://apnews.com/NHL and https://twitter.com/-Sports

GAME PREVIEW
The Calgary Flames and Anaheim Ducks will play for the second time in five days when they meet in Calgary on Monday afternoon.The Flames beat the Ducks 6-0 in Anaheim on Thursday for their widest margin of victory this season, and the most one-sided loss for the Ducks.Both teams went in opposite directions in their next games, however.The Flames came home after winning three of four on the trip and lost 8-4 to the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.Anaheim bounced back to win the opener of its two-game road trip, 5-1, at the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday afternoon.After scoring at least five goals in regulation three times in October, the Ducks hit that mark just once more before Sunday."We did a good job finishing," Ducks forward Sam Steel said after scoring in the win against the Canucks. "We've been getting good chances, but the puck just hasn't been going in. Whenever you can put up five, it's a good thing for the team, so we've just got to carry it into (Monday)." The Ducks are playing well on the road overall lately, owning a six-game point streak away from Anaheim (4-0-2).The Flames are struggling at home, posting a 3-8-2 record in their past 13 games at Scotiabank Saddledome."We've got to make it a harder place to play," Flames head coach Geoff Ward said before the loss to Chicago. "And we've just got to start winning more at home than what we have been lately." Calgary still holds the top wild-card spot from the Western Conference heading into Monday, but is tied in points with the Arizona Coyotes and two others teams are just three points back."The good thing is, we're in the race," Calgary forward Matthew Tkachuk said. "We had a great road trip that kept us in it. We've got to take care of business at home. We didn't (Saturday), but have to Monday." The Ducks didn't start playing well on the road until the middle of last month, when they won their final two games before their bye week and the All Star break."I don't know if it's anything in particular, I think we've just been playing good hockey on the road," Steel said. "Desperate for points really. That's what it comes down to. Not all of them are pretty, like (the win in Vancouver), but we've been finding ways." Even with their recent road success, the Ducks are still 11 points back of the Coyotes for the final playoff spot.Anaheim will likely start veteran Ryan Miller in goal after John Gibson made 37 saves against Vancouver.Miller is 10-7-1 in 19 career appearances against the Flames with a 2.60 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.He stopped 14 of 16 shots while playing the final two periods against the Flames on Thursday.He'll be up against Calgary forward Elias Lindholm, who brings an NHL career-high 10-game point streak into the game and has scored five goals in the past three games.He believes he can be even more productive."I want to shoot a little bit more and have more chances in the slot," Lindholm said. "Right now, I'm getting shots right in front and around the net, but if I could create more chances in the slot, it would be even better." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
The San Jose Sharks, who have won four straight road games, are set to return to home ice, where they have dropped three consecutive contests.Go figure.The Sharks, who haven't won a home game since Jan. 27, will play host to the slumping Florida Panthers on Monday afternoon.Florida, which won six straight games before being interrupted by the All-Star break, had the NHL's No. 1 offense during that streak.Now, the Panthers are in quicksand, sporting a 2-6-1 record since their win streak ended. Their once high-flying offense has scored just 18 goals in their past nine games.Go figure.San Jose coach Bob Boughner adds intrigue to Monday's matchup since he was fired by the Panthers on April 7, 2019.Boughner, though, is likely more focused on how well his team has played on its current two-game winning streak, including Saturday's 2-0 win over the host Minnesota Wild."They threw a lot at us," Boughner said of Minnesota. "But we defended well." Indeed, Martin Jones made 39 saves for his first win since Dec. 28. It was also his first shutout since March 11, 2019.The Sharks earned the shutout despite playing without Eric Karlsson, the two-time winner of the Norris Trophy, which is awarded annually to the NHL's top defenseman. Karlsson is out for the season after suffering a broken thumb in Friday's win over the Winnipeg Jets.San Jose is also without Evander Kane, who has 21 goals but is serving the second game of a three-contest NHL suspension for elbowing Jets defenseman Neal Pionk on Friday. Kane has scored at least 20 goals for five straight seasons.Two other Sharks top-six forwards are out: Tomas Hertl (knee) and Logan Couture (upper body).Kane leads San Jose in goals (21); Karlsson tops the team in points (40), and Hertl and Couture have combined for 30 goals and 72 points.Florida's injury list is not as long -- bottom-six center Brian Boyle's upper-body injury is the biggest concern.Even so, the Panthers are surely going through some mental anguish after getting held scoreless in the first two periods in each of the past two games. Forced to make up multi-goal deficits, the Panthers lost both games, including a 4-1 decision to the Connor McDavid-less Edmonton Oilers on Saturday."We lost all our gravy going into the break, and now we're chasing it," Panthers coach Joel Quenneville said. "But there's still an opportunity -- a really good one -- in front of us." Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who missed Saturday's game due to an illness, could be back in time to face San Jose. But Bobrovsky has been slumping anyway, going 0-4-1 in his past five games and failing to live up to the seven-year, $70-million contract he signed in July.Jonathan Huberdeau, who leads Florida with 70 points, scored his team's only goal on Saturday. Given just a sliver of space to shoot for, Huberdeau fired the puck over goalie Mikko Koskinen's right shoulder and into the back of the net.Quenneville has to find a way to rev his offense back up, and he also has to decide on Monday's goalie. It could be Saturday's starter, rookie Sam Montembeault (5-3-1, 3.30 goals-against average, .890 save percentage) or Bobrovsky (20-17-5, 3.32 GAA, .896 SP).San Jose could go back to Jones (14-17-2, 3.15 GAA, .894 SP) or rest him and go with Aaron Dell (12-11-2, 2.85 GAA, .911 SP).--Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
Alex Ovechkin's quest to become the eighth player in NHL history to score 700 goals moves to the scene of his greatest triumph when the Washington Capitals face the Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon.It was in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at T-Mobile Arena on June 7, 2018, that the Capitals scored two third-period goals to pull out a 4-3 victory over the Golden Knights and skate off with the first Stanley Cup title in franchise history.Ovechkin led the league with 15 goals in those playoffs en route to receiving the Conn Smythe Trophy.Ovechkin is third in the league this season with 40 goals but has been stuck on No. 698 for the past four games, his longest scoring drought of the season. He attempted 16 shots in Washington's last game, a 3-1 loss at Arizona on Saturday night. Eight ended up on goal, five were blocked and one of the three others hit the post."Of course, you want to get it over with and move forward," Ovechkin told NHL.com following Saturday's game. "You can't be focusing and thinking like, 'Oh, I didn't score. It's over.' Sooner or later it will come." "He's getting himself into good spots," Capitals coach Todd Reirden said. "That's really the least of my concerns. ... He's getting himself in some scoring areas, which is the key for him. For me, it's more about our team just being able to help him out and try to be able to produce a little more through our four lines." Reirden was asked if he'd like to get Ovechkin's chase for 700 out of the way so he could concentrate on other things with his team, which is just 3-5-0 in its last eight games."It is what it is," Reirden replied. "It's out there. It's a luxury that we have a player like this that you can be talking about these types of situations with. That's part of the game, and part of when you're dealing with star players and where they're overcoming milestones." Washington, which had a four-game road win streak snapped by the Coyotes, has the NHL's best away record (21-7-1). The Capitals will be facing a Vegas team that has won two straight at home, including a 1-0 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday.Marc-Andre Fleury had allowed a total of nine goals in his previous two starts and was pulled for just the second time this season in a 4-0 loss at Minnesota on Tuesday. He bounced back to record his 60th career shutout by stopping 19 shots against the Islanders.Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers (64) is the lone active goaltender with more shutouts than Fleury."It gets so frustrating when you allow that many goals," Fleury said. "I think there was some bad luck sometimes, but our team played team played very well defensively tonight." "I was really happy," Vegas coach Peter DeBoer said. "We talked about how we gave up five even-strength goals last game (a 6-5 overtime win) against St. Louis, so we wanted to clean that up."Coming down the stretch into playoff hockey you have to be willing to win 1-0 or 2-1. ... I thought we handled the game real maturely, made good decisions and didn't beat ourselves." --Field Level Media

GAME PREVIEW
The Tampa Bay Lightning had an NHL record-tying 62-win season in 2018-19 before being unceremoniously swept in the first round of the playoffs.It doesn't look like Tampa Bay has let that disappointing finish carry over to this season.The Lightning have won 10 in a row -- five of those on the road -- and have 83 points, second in the NHL behind Atlantic Division rival Boston. They will go for a franchise-record 11th straight win on Monday when they visit the Colorado Avalanche in Denver."To go on a run like (this) is pretty cool," Tampa Bay center Anthony Cirelli said after a 5-3 win over Philadelphia on Saturday. "Everyone's having fun around the room, but at the end of the day, it's still just a part of the season. We have to keep working hard, trying to be better, and play a full 60-minute game." The Avalanche were as hot as Tampa Bay before struggling in the third period of their last two contests.Colorado nursed a 2-1 lead over Washington on Thursday before a pair of third-period goals ended its five-game winning streak. On Saturday night, in the NHL Stadium Series game at the Air Force Academy, the Los Angeles Kings scored a go-ahead goal with 54 seconds left to win that game.The Avalanche lost more than a game in the chilly conditions in Colorado Springs, Colo. Goaltender Philipp Grubauer left early in the third period after he inadvertently was knocked over by teammate Ian Cole. Colorado coach Jared Bednar said Grubauer suffered a lower-body injury and it could cost him some games."The fact that (Grubauer) left the game tells me there's certainly a possibility that he could miss games," Bednar said Saturday night. "They were still looking at him when we came through. I just got word on the bench they'd be checking him out. I'm sure they'll check him out (Sunday) and then we should be able to get a timeline on how severe it is." Forward Matt Calvert also left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return to the ice.The Avalanche didn't practice Sunday and did not have an update on either player. They did, however, recall goalie Hunter Miska from the AHL."It (stinks). I don't know, hopefully he's not out too long," center Nathan MacKinnon said of Grubauer after Saturday's loss. "I haven't talked to him yet. Just a frustrating, frustrating game." While Colorado center Nazem Kadri has missed three games and is expected to be out at least a month with a lower-body injury, the streaking Lightning are getting healthier.Captain Steven Stamkos missed three games and reigning Hart Trophy recipient Nikita Kucherov was out for one, but both returned for the win over Philadelphia on Saturday. Kucherov had a goal and an assist and Stamkos had two assists.Colorado posted a 6-2 win over the Lightning on Oct. 19 in Tampa, Fla.--Field Level Media
