SAN JOSE [url=http://www.officialstarsproonline.com]www.officialstarsproonline.com[/url] , Calif. (AP) — Brent Burns made the most of his second chance in alone against Darcy Kuemper.After missing on a breakaway early in the third period, Burns completed a nifty move with a goal 3:14 into overtime that sent the San Jose Sharks to a 3-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday night in their first game back from a 10-day break.“That’s a big time play,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. “He’s a beast, 6-4, 235 and to be that skilled to be able to make those type of plays. He’s a world-class player, and that’s a world-class play.”Burns got the puck in the corner in overtime, deked past Richard Panik and beat Kuemper for his 13th career overtime goal, tying Scott Niedermayer for the most by a defenseman in NHL history.Joe Pavelski and Kevin Labanc scored goals less than a minute apart in the second period. Martin Jones made 31 saves to help San Jose move within four points of first-place Calgary in the Pacific Division as both teams started slowly in their first game back after the All-Star break and bye week.“The game was difficult to play [url=http://www.officialstarsproonline.com/authentic-adidas-t-shirts]Dallas Stars T-Shirts Authentic[/url] ,” San Jose forward Logan Couture said. “Obviously both teams coming off of a long stretch without playing hockey. Thrown in the ice — there was a (minor league) game earlier today. Difficult game to play in. By the end I think both teams were exhausted. It’s nice to get two points.”Conor Garland and Josh Archibald scored for the Coyotes. Kuemper made 32 saves for Arizona to earn at least a point in his ninth straight start.Arizona put heavy pressure on in the third period and tied the score early when Archibald took a pass from Mario Kempe in the slot and shot a one-timer past Jones.“It was a big point for us obviously we wanted two but it was nice to get back into the swing of things after the break,” Archibald said. “Our speed and forechecking and creating havoc are our biggest assets. My goal got the team back into it but it an unfortunate ending.”The long break might have contributed to a somewhat sluggish start with neither team generating many prime scoring chances until a giveaway in the defensive zone by Tim Heed set up Arizona’s first goal midway through the second period.Christian Fischer helped cause the turnover and Garland patiently waited after getting the puck alone on the side of the net before beating Jones for his 10th goal of the season and a 1-0 lead.The lead didn’t last long as the Sharks scored twice on rebounds over the next three minutes to take the lead. Marcus Sorensen did a good job to set up Burns for a shot from the point and Labanc knocked in the rebound to tie the game.Just 44 seconds later, Logan Couture sent Timo Meier in on a breakaway that Kuemper stopped but Pavelski raced in to flip the rebound into the net for his 28th.The Coyotes nearly tied it shortly after that when Panik appeared to knock a puck past Jones. But DeBoer challenged the play and it was overturned for goalie interference.NOTES: Sharks D Erik Karlsson remains sidelined by a lower-body injury that kept him out of the three games before the break. … San Jose D Marc-Edouard Vlasic returned after missing the past 10 games with an upper-body injury. … Coyotes D Jakob Chychrun didn’t make the three-game road trip because of a lower-body injury.UP NEXTCoyotes: Visit Dallas on Monday night.Sharks: Visit Winnipeg on Tuesday night. SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — It is only fitting that Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Nathan MacKinnon are serving as captains for this weekend’s NHL All-Star game.The three high-scoring forwards are 23 or younger. They are part of a youth movement that is taking over the NHL and will be on center stage when the league’s best players gather at the Shark Tank for their annual midseason celebration.“It’s a young man’s league,” said Chicago forward Patrick Kane, now an elder statesman at age 30. “These guys come in and maybe in the past your prime was 26, 27 or 28. Now your prime is maybe 22 [url=http://www.officialstarsproonline.com/authentic-adidas-hoodie]Dallas Stars Hoodies Authentic[/url] , 23 or 24. It’s definitely become a younger man’s game. A lot of teams these days are expecting their young draft picks and younger kids to come in and help the team right away. You’ll see more of these young guys get a chance.”Scoring is on pace for its highest mark in more than two decades heading into the All-Star break, thanks in large part to some skilled youngsters who will be on display this weekend like the three All-Star captains along with the league’s leading scorer, 25-year-old Nikita Kucherov of Tampa Bay, and 25-year-old Calgary star Johnny Gaudreau.None of the league’s top six scorers heading into the break has turned 26 and there are more All-Star skaters this weekend 22 and younger (11) than in their 30s (8). In all, 58 percent of the goals in the NHL this season have been scored by players 26 or younger.“That’s just the way the game is trending,” Matthews said. “It seems a lot younger now, a lot faster, more speed and more skill. A lot of younger guys are coming in and making an impact immediately. That wasn’t the case in years past but it’s kind of changing now. It’s pretty fun to see.”The league had long been looking to increase scoring by reducing the size of goalie pads [url=http://www.officialstarsproonline.com/authentic-adidas-hats]Dallas Stars Hats Authentic[/url] , among other rules changes, and it seems to have finally materialized. Teams head into the break averaging 3.03 goals per game, which is on pace for the highest-scoring season since the 3.14 in 1995-96, when Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky were still among the league’s biggest stars.There’s still a long way to go to get back to the level of the go-go 1980s, which featured a single-season team average of 4.01 goals per game in 1981-82 — the highest in the league since the end of World War II.But there has been an 18 percent increase in scoring since the post-expansion low of 2.57 goals per game for teams in 2003-04, before a lockout canceled the following season and led to rule changes.“The game’s being run by the twentysomethings now,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. “Players have a positive arrogance when they come into the league that they can do anything and they try it. That’s what makes them so good. They’re not sitting there saying this might not be the right thing to do in this situation. Players are trying it and that’s why you’re seeing what you’re seeing with the skill level in this game. These players are so good.”There was a big jump in the first year back in 2005-06 thanks to a crackdown on stick work and obstruction that led to more power plays. But scoring fell gradually in the ensuing years and was down to 2.67 three years ago before starting to rise again.An influx of young stars like McDavid, Matthews [url=http://www.officialstarsproonline.com/authentic-adidas-customized]Custom Dallas Stars Jerseys[/url] , Mathew Barzal of the New York Islanders and Vancouver rookie Elias Pettersson helped contribute to the 13 percent jump in scoring in a three-year span.“I came in the league out of college and I was 22 or 23 and I was the youngest guy on the team,” Columbus 29-year-old forward Cam Atkinson said. “Now it’s unheard of if you don’t have two or three guys under the age of 20. It’s great for the sport. It’s a fast game and that’s what the fans want.”The surge hasn’t been limited to the youngsters. Washington’s Alex Ovechkin leads the NHL in goals with 37 at age 33 and was slated to be the fourth captain this weekend before deciding to stay home and rest.Hometown favorites Brent Burns and Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks are also among the players posting big numbers this season. Burns leads all defensemen with 55 points, and Pavelski is tied for ninth with 27 goals, putting him on pace for a career-high 42 at age 34.
