Getting shots on goal hasn’t been the problem for the Arizona Coyotes.

Getting them into the goal has been the issue Paul Stastny Jersey Womens , one that might not get any easier to solve Tuesday night when they start a four-game road trip by aiming pucks at Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk.Although Minnesota (1-2-2) lost 4-2 Monday night in Nashville with backup Alex Stalock between the pipes, Dubnyk isn’t the reason for its slow start. All he’s done in four games is post a .934 save percentage, going 1-1-2 with a 2.64 goals-against average.Article continues below ...He’s faced an average of 41.8 shots per game, including a ridiculous 57 Saturday in a 5-4 overtime loss to Carolina. Without Dubnyk, the Wild probably don’t steal a point in that game or in a 2-1 OT setback to Vegas on Oct. 6, when Dubnyk stopped 41 of 42 shots.“He’s been our No. 1 star in all four games that he’s played,” Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau said following the loss against the Hurricanes. “In a realistic world, you’re happy you got a point out of that.”For his part, Dubnyk isn’t worried about the Wild’s slow start, not just to the season Max Pacioretty Jersey Womens , but to games. They coughed up the first goal Monday night for the fourth time in five games, and even though they tied it after 20 minutes, they spent most of the game’s remainder in chase mode again.“I think we’re all proud in here and we all know how good we can be, so we have just got to figure it out,” Dubnyk said. “We know we have a great group in here. I think we all agree we can be better.”As for Arizona (1-3-0), its mission is simple, according to coach Rick Tocchet: Don’t allow frustration to govern your game. He gave that speech minutes after it outshot Buffalo 36-23 Saturday, but couldn’t beat backup goalie Linus Ullmark in a 3-0 setback.The Coyotes have driven play in the early going, putting 146 shots on net to the opponents’ 93. But aside from a 3-2 win on Wednesday in Anaheim, they haven’t scored a goal.“I know everybody’s frustrated Nic Dowd Jersey Womens ,” Tocchet said. “The coaching staff’s frustrated. Everybody’s frustrated we’re not scoring goals. You’re trying your best to figure it out, but at the end of the day, you’ve just got to be able to will yourself a goal.”Arizona has pumped at least 30 shots on goal in every game, the first time it’s done that in the first four games since 1985-86, when the franchise was playing in Winnipeg.Part of the problem might be the lack of proven snipers on the roster. Only two players have scored 30 goals in a season. Michael Grabner is eight years removed from doing it with the New York Islanders and Alex Galchenyuk, who scored 30 three years ago for Montreal, is currently sidelined with a lower-body injury.“I’d like to see somebody score a goal,” Tocchet said. “We’ve had point-blank shots in the slot. You just got to keep shooting, I guess. You got to work at your game. I don’t have a recipe other than that.” PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers tried to make their annual Halloween game a festive occasion — popular mascot Gritty judged the costume contests during intermissions — but the only boos came from disgruntled fans each time Philly skated off the ice.The Islanders‘ romp started early, and they seemed right at home against the listless Flyers.Brock Nelson scored two goals www.officialducks.com , Anders Lee had a goal and two assists and Robin Lehner stopped 22 shots to lead New York past Philadelphia 6-1 on Saturday.Leo Komarov and Anthony Beauvillier also scored to help the Islanders take a 3-0 lead through two periods in a game between teams near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Nelson scored in the first and third periods in his third straight game with a goal.“It doesn’t always have to be goals, just chances,” Nelson said. “If you can feed off of that, you can suffocate teams.”The Islanders opened a three-game road trip. They play eight of their first 11 games on the road this season.The Flyers were loose with the puck, sagged on defense and stopped skating hard after pucks in the defensive zone. A playoff team last season, Philadelphia has lost three straight games and four of five overall.Coach Dave Hakstol remains on the hot seat in his fourth season, and the Flyers (4-7) await what could be a make-or-break four-game trip out West.Maybe a road trip will give a needed boost to a Flyers team that has already lost four home games.“We tightened up in this building,” Hakstol said.The Islanders weren’t terribly impressive either, but they were efficient, scoring two goals on their first six shots and three on the first 12.Michal Neuvirth wasn’t much help in net in his first start since last year. Neuvirth was out with an unspecified injury and the Flyers got little production from Brian Elliott and Calvin Pickard in his absence.The Flyers coughed up the puck and Komarov capitalized with a tip-in for a 1-0 lead in the first. The Flyers had another turnover later in the period and Jordan Eberle fed Beauvillier for a 2-0 lead.Nelson made it 3-0 on a sweet 2-on-1 attack that stunned Neuvirth and pretty much sealed the win.“Our bounces are not going our way Anaheim Ducks T-Shirts Authentic , but the season is long and we have to stick together,” Neuvirth said. “We’ve got a good team in here.”It’s hard to tell. The Flyers’ core of Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds and Jake Voracek has done little to prove the franchise can ever become serious contenders and — with more games like this one — general manager Ron Hextall will have to decide if he wants to shake up the roster or make a move behind the bench. Or both.“I really feel like we’re pressing right now.
