DETROIT -- After scoring 39 goals in their first eight games, the San Jose Sharks proved they can play pretty well defensively, too. Heren Nike Air Max 95 Total Zwart/Fluorescerende Groen Hardloopschoenen . Logan Couture scored in the shootout and San Jose beat the Detroit Red Wings 1-0 on Monday night. The Sharks (8-0-1) are the NHLs last team without a regulation loss. "We scored a lot of goals in our first eight games. Were not going to keep scoring like that," Couture said. Each goalie got a shutout for not allowing a goal in 65 minutes. Antti Niemi -- who got his 24th career shutout -- made 24 saves for San Jose and Jimmy Howard, who earned his 17th shutout, stopped 27 shots. "Not much space out there. It was very playoff like," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "Both teams a prevent-type game. ... It was a chess match, theres no doubt about it. Even on the power play and penalty kills, the teams didnt get a lot of looks." Howard praised the way his team played without the puck. "I thought we did a good job on their top guys. We didnt give them a lot of room and space. Another thing that was a positive was we didnt give up a lot of odd-man rushes," Howard said. "Thats been an Achilles heel of late for us. We did a great job of keeping the third man high in the offensive zone, making them come 200 feet. We didnt turn pucks over. Its a good sign." It was Niemis third shutout against Detroit. He also stopped Todd Bertuzzi on Detroits final shootout attempt with a spectacular pad save. It was the first game of a four-game Eastern road swing for San Jose. Detroits Brendan Smith hit the outside of the goal post with 4:57 remaining in regulation. Niemi made an outstanding save on Daniel Alfredssons shot from the bottom of the right circle 7:31 into the second period. San Jose outshot Detroit 7-4 in a scoreless opening period, in which the Red Wings killed off two penalties. "There was two pretty good teams there tonight. I thought our young D played pretty good. There wasnt much in the way of scoring chances either way," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "Both teams played real tight. I thought it was a good game. Just no room for either team. I think both teams checked really well. Not a lot of freedom for guys." NOTES: After the game, the Sharks acquired forward Mike Brown from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a fourth-round section in the 2014 draft. ... Detroit D Niklas Kronwall missed his second game with a concussion suffered on Thursday night in Colorado. It was on a hit from behind by Cody McLeod, who was suspended for five games on Monday by the NHL. Kronwalls defence partner, Jonathan Ericsson, also didnt play because his wife went into labour on Sunday night. D Xavier Ouellet was recalled from the Wings AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids. ... San Jose recalled forwards Freddie Hamilton and John McCarthy from its AHL affiliate in Worcester. The team also assigned F Matt Pelech to the same team. ... Red Wings G Jonas Gustavsson is the NHLs First Star for last week. Gustavsson posted a 3-0-0 record with a 1.67 goals-against average and .953 save percentage in three Detroit wins. ... Sharks LW Patrick Marleau was the leagues Third Star with three goals and six points. ... Tampa Bay Lightning GM, Canadian Olympic GM and former Red Wings Hall of Fame player Steve Yzerman was at the game. Nike Air Max 95 Heren Trainers Ultra Zwart/Wolf Grijs/Donker Grijs . The Astros ended a franchise winless streak at Fenway Park with a pesky performance, rallying to tie Boston twice before finishing off the Red Sox in extra innings. Heren Nike Air Max 95 Zwart/Volt-Safety Oranje 810374-078 Hardloopschoenen . After five trips to the championship series in eight years, it would make sense if he had a been-there, done-that attitude when stepping onto the sports biggest stage.HOUSTON - In just his second season, DeAndre Hopkins is establishing himself as the go-to receiver on a Houston team long led by Andre Johnson.Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for a franchise-record six touchdowns, and Hopkins had a career-best 238 yards receiving and two scores as the Texans set a team-record for points, rolling to a 45-21 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.Hopkins, a first-round pick in 2013, leads the team with 1,041 yards receiving and six touchdowns.Im just happy to see the kid grow as a player, Johnson said. Comparing this year to last year, its amazing. Its fun to watch.Fitzpatrick started after being benched for two games for Ryan Mallett, who sustained a season-ending chest injury last week.Hopkins caught a 58-yard touchdown pass to extend Houstons lead to 24-0 just before halftime. The second score by Hopkins made it 31-14 later in the third quarter.He said learning from Johnson, a seven-time Pro Bowler, has helped his improvement this year.I develop from sitting there talking to him every day, Hopkins said.Fitzpatrick passed for 358 yards and came up one short of tying the NFL record by throwing touchdown passes of 8, 7, 58, 34, 4 yards to his receivers before ending his day with a 1-yard TD toss to J.J. Watt.The quarterback raved about Hopkins.He makes plays, Fitzpatrick said. He is a pretty special player. Weve got two great ones on the outside, so theyve got to figure out (Sunday) what the matchup was.Watt had his third touchdown reception, two sacks, forced and recovered a fumble for Houston (6-6).Tennessees Zach Mettenberger injured his right shoulder playing behind a makeshift offensive line missing three starters. Jake Locker took over in the third quarter and threw for 91 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for the Titans (2-10), who have lost six straight.Here are five things to know about Houstons big win over its AFC South foe.METTENBERGER SHOULD BE OK: Mettenberger said he has a sprain and thinks he will be able to play next week, but that hell have an MRI on Monday.As minor as it seems right now well get it straightened out (Monday), he said. Hopefully I can put myself in a situation to play next week.The rookie finished with 184 yards passingg with a touchdown and an interception to remain winless in five career starts. Nike Air Max One Zwart. ATT FOR MVP?: After another big game from Watt, almost everyone from his teammates to the owner of the franchise was campaigning for the defensive end to be the first defensive MVP since Lawrence Taylor in 1986. Watt has 11 1/2 sacks and five touchdowns to make him the first player to have at least 10 sacks and three or more touchdowns in a season since 1982, when sacks became an official statistic.Hes just unbelievable and he continues to amaze all of us, Texans owner Bob McNair said. I think hes deserving of that kind of consideration, and I think that would be wonderful.THE WRIGHT STUFF: Tennessee receiver Kendall Wright was a bright spot in a dismal day for the Titans. He finished with seven catches for 132 yards and a touchdown. It was his third career 100-yard game and he has 51 receptions this season to make him just the second player in team history with at least 50 receptions in each of his first three NFL seasons.FOSTERS RETURN: Houston running back Arian Foster returned after missing the last two games with a groin injury and finished with 79 yards rushing and 26 yards receiving with a touchdown.He does a lot of things, coach Bill OBrien said. Obviously running the ball, but (also) blitz pickup, third down, catching the ball in the backfield. Hes done a lot for our football team this year, so its good to have him in there.LINE WOES: The Titans were missing rookie left tackle Taylor Lewan (ankle), centre Brian Schwenke (knee), who was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, and right tackle Michael Oher (toe), who was active but didnt play on Sunday. Coach Ken Whisenhunt didnt provide an update on any of the injured linemen after the game and right guard Chance Warmacks status is unclear after he injured his ankle late in Sundays game.With new guys stepping in, weve got to pick it up on the line, left guard Andy Levitre said. Weve got to have more attention to detail, more focus. Weve got guys who have been here a long time and are fairly new to this offence so our attention to detail has to be that much greater.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China ' ' '
