y. San Francisco selected Kilgore in the fifth round of the 2011

ST. JOHNS, N.L. -- The St. Johns IceCaps set a franchise record with seven straight wins Friday night, beating the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 3-2 in American Hockey League action. IceCaps head coach Keith McCambridge was happy with the result, but said the team isnt spending time thinking about records. "I wouldnt say were separating our shoulders patting ourselves on the back," McCambridge said. "Were happy we were able to get the win. "I like the fact that we put a lot of shots on the net and we had traffic. We were able to get a goal and build off thata And, we will take the seven (wins)." IceCaps defenceman Julian Melchiori scored his first goal of the season in the win. "I think its awesome," he said. "The team is rolling right now. Its all working for us. Hopefully we can keep rolling tomorrow and move up in the standings. Its good to contribute whenever you can and I was happy (to score)." The 22-year-old is in his second season with the IceCaps, and McCambridge said Melchiori is getting up to stride. "The season has been interesting for him," McCambridge said. "He had a strong year last year and then came back this season and any time he was able to start getting his feet underneath him and be playing strong, an injury would set him back. I really feel were starting to see him take strides to be a strong, potential NHL defenceman." Jerome Samson and Blair Riley also scored for St. Johns (35-19-4). Johan Sundstrom and Chris Langkow replied for the Sound Tigers (26-27-5). Samson opened the scoring for the IceCaps, scoring a power-play goal on a low wrister through traffic from the faceoff dot with 3:41 left in the first period. Melchiori doubled the lead, wiring home a crisp wrist shot from the point at the 14:25 mark of the second period. Kyle MacKinnon fanned on a shot and chased it to the net, tapping it in during the ensuing scramble to put St. Johns up 3-0, 1:13 into the third period. Sundstrom scored for Bridgeport, burying a wrist shot from the point which fooled IceCaps goalie Michael Hutchinson blocker side at the 3:08 mark of the third period. Langkow whacked in a loose puck on the doorstep to put the Sound Tigers within one with 2:10 left in the game. IceCaps forward Carl Klingberg left the game with just over a minute left after taking a knee-on-knee hit from Aaron Ness, who was served a five-minute kneeing penalty and a game misconduct. Klingberg will be further evaluated tomorrow. Bridgeport goalie Kevin Poulin made 36 saves. Hutchinson stopped 22 for the IceCaps. Luke Kunin Jersey .

Was it a point gained, or a point lost? For Jets head coach Claude Noel and a number of players the thought was it was a point lost because after a very good start to the game, they could not maintain it for a full 60 minutes. For other players, being down 2-1 and tying the game with three minutes left against a very good defensive team was a point gained. The Jets controlled the early going, out-shooting the Predators 7-1, but a Shea Weber power play goal at 15:53 opened the scoring. The Jets have only scored the games opening goal twice this season. Anthony Peluso scored the only goal of the second period to tie the game at one. The goal came on a wrap around and was his first NHL goal. In the third, Patric Hornqvist put home a rebound from the high slot to regain the lead for the Predators, until Blake Wheeler tied the game at 16:59. For Wheeler it was his third of the year and he has now scored in back to back games. The Jets got a late power play but did not register a shot on goal. The Jets have now gone six games without a power play goal. Last season they started with nine power play goals in the first nine games, before going through stretches of no PP goals in eight games and one in 16 games. Craig Smith with his second goal of the year ended the contest at 4:43 of overtime in favour of the Predators. It looked like the Jets were going to get one last rush until the puck bounced over the stick of defenceman Dustin Byfuglien setting the stage for David Legwands pass to Smith. Jets are now 1-1-1 on thee road, with three more games on this Central Division trip that continues in Dallas, Saturday (TSN 1290).dddddddddddd Jets are 4-5-2 overall on the season. Byfuglien played over 30 minutes in the game and had six shots on goal in a losing cause. The Predators are a very good face-off team, winning 66% of the draws. Matt Cullen led the way winning 15 of 16 from the faceoff circle. The Jets outshot the Predators 36-33, they also missed the net with another 12 attempts and had 24 blocked, six by Shea Weber. "We had a solid first ten minutes," commented Noel post-game. "Text book. But could not sustain it. Its good we came back and got a point but the test is still to be consistent for 60 minutes. We play in spurts. First five minutes of the third we struggled. Bad puck management, no support. We need to take the next step, were 11 games in. But we did some good things. Battled physically, got traffic to the net. We had a great north/south game going then wanted to play cute." Defenceman Mark Stuart was back in the lineup after missing two games due to injury and forward Eric Tangradi played after being a healthy scratch the last three games. Jets were still minus Jim Slater, Jacob Trouba and Chris Thorburn due to injury, while Adam Pardy and Patrice Cormier were healthy scratches. James Wright slipped in the middle on the fourth line and played well. Goaltender Carter Hutton has now stopped 72 of 75 shots in his two games against the Jets. Its back to back for the Jets this weekend as they are in Dallas Saturday and Colorado Sunday before closing out the trip in St. Louis Tuesday.
