SOUTH BEND Authentic Teuvo Teravainen Jersey , Ind. (AP) — David Pastrnak delivered once again. Patrice Bergeron showed off his all-around game, and Tuukka Rask made a couple of big stops.Oh, and those suits, too.It was stylish start to the new year for the Boston Bruins.Pastrnak had a goal and an assist, Rask made 36 saves and the Bruins beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 on Tuesday in the Winter Classic at Notre Dame.“You want to win those games when you’re on the big stage like that,” Bergeron said. “I know it’s a regular-season game, but still you know the meaning’s different when you’re playing in front of 76,000 people and on national TV. So we know what’s at stake with those games and we want to make the most of it.”They certainly dressed for the occasion. Bergeron and company wore tailored suits, vests and hats to the game in a nod to their surroundings and “Peaky Blinders,” a TV show about a gang in England right after World War I. Rask also had Notre Dame’s iconic “Play Like A Champion Today” sign painted on the back of his helmet.“I think these are the experiences that once you are done with the hockey career you can look back and like be happy that you were a part of and kind of cherish those moments,” Rask said.Bergeron, Sean Kuraly and Brad Marchand also scored as Boston won for the second time in three appearances in the NHL’s annual outdoor game on New Year’s Day. The Bruins went 2 for 5 with the man advantage and killed off each of the Blackhawks’ four power plays.The game was tied at 2 when Boston (22-14-4) caught a break in the third period — a little luck at the home of the Fighting Irish. Matt Grzelcyk’s big slap shot went off teammate Chris Wagner in front Womens Victor Rask Jersey , but Kuraly beat Blackhawks defenseman Gustav Forsling to the rebound and backhanded the puck past Cam Ward at 10:20.“Big goal,” coach Bruce Cassidy said.Backed by most of the sellout crowd of 76,126 in perfect conditions for outdoor hockey — the game-time temperature was 35.5 degrees, and a gray, overcast sky took the sun out of the equation — Chicago pushed hard for the tying score in the closing minutes, but came up empty.Jonathan Toews sent a shot off the post after the Blackhawks pulled Ward for an extra attacker with about 1:30 left. Marchand then added an empty-netter for his 13th of the season.“We had a little lull there in the third and ended up going down,” Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton said. “It’s hard when we were chasing them from then on. Disappointing that we did enough and probably deserved more.”Chicago (15-21-6) had won five of six, but it remained winless in an NHL-high fourth appearance in the Winter Classic. It also dropped to 1-5 in six outdoor games — also tops in the league.Brendan Perlini and Dominik Kahun scored for the Blackhawks, and Ward made 32 stops in his first outdoor NHL game.“Just an unbelievable experience,” Ward said. “I’m really thankful I got the opportunity to do it and you’re just disappointed that you don’t come away with the win.”Chicago jumped in front when it scored first for the sixth straight game. David Kampf dug the puck out from behind the net and found a wide-open Perlini in the slot 8:30 into the first.Pastrnak responded with his team-best 24th goal. With Artem Anisimov in the penalty box for tripping, Pastrnak got free in front and slid the puck past Ward at 12:38. He then celebrated by flapping his arms like a bird.The teams exchanged goals again in the second. Kahun scored his fifth of the season when he redirected Erik Gustafsson’s shot by Rask, but Bergeron broke up a potential short-handed breakaway for Kampf before tying it at 2 when he scored another power-play goal with 1:12 left in the period.“He never quits Alex DeBrincat Jersey , and that’s why he’s Patrice Bergeron,” Cassidy said.NOTES: It was Perlini’s third goal in his past eight games.

LAS VEGAS (AP) In the heat of a tight playoff race, the Los Angeles Kings turned to a little-known goaltender with one NHL start under his belt.Boy, did Jack Campbell ever come through.Campbell made 41 saves, Anze Kopitar scored his 27th goal and Los Angeles defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 4-1 on Tuesday night.”It’s always great to win, and it definitely feels great to do it with this group. It just means a lot that it was a big two points,” Campbell said. ”It was a little bit more than another game. I wanted to prove to everybody, but most importantly my teammates, that they can count on me. This was probably the biggest game I’ve played in.”It was the Kings’ second victory over Vegas in two nights. The expansion Golden Knights dropped into a tie with Nashville for the top spot in the Western Conference.The 26-year-old Campbell was making his first NHL start since the 2013-14 season, when he played for the Dallas Stars. He made one appearance for Los Angeles last season and got the nod Tuesday over starter Jonathan Quick, who beat Vegas on Monday.”I remember the day when he came here,” Kings coach John Stevens said. ”His game was not in very good shape. He had been in the East Coast League Cam Atkinson Jersey Kids , and all he wanted to do was work and get better. Terrific year in the minors and became a leader down there. Coming into this game is a tough spot. It’s as tough a spot as there is. I thought Jack was really solid tonight and I couldn’t be any happier for the kid.”Kyle Clifford, Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Carter also scored for the Kings, who rank second in the league with 20 road wins. Tampa Bay has 22.Maxime Lagace stopped 26 shots for the Golden Knights in his first start since Dec. 9, when he won at Dallas. William Karlsson scored the Vegas goal.Vegas is 0-2 since Monday’s trade deadline, when the Golden Knights added slick-skating forward Tomas Tatar and big-bodied Ryan Reaves to the lineup. Reaves played in both games against Los Angeles, while Tatar made his debut Tuesday.Reaves made his presence felt for a team with the third-fewest penalty minutes in the league. He delivered several big hits, including two in the third period that landed him in the penalty box. He took issue with those calls.”Can’t make a call on a reaction on a bench or a big noise, that’s not how this league works,” said the 6-foot-1, 225-pound winger, who arrived from Pittsburgh in a three-team trade. ”I thought those were panic calls. (Drew) Doughty throws his head back like he got shot – it’s his shoulder pad that hits his chin. Two bad calls in a critical time of the game. It’s hockey. I play hard. It’s what’s kept me in this league. I’m not going to apologize for any one of those penalties. They did cost us the game, but that’s my style of play. And that’s going to continue against every team we play.”In what has become a familiar sequence for the Golden Knights’ top line www.kingsproshop.com , Reilly Smith fed Jonathan Marchessault, who fed Karlsson, who gave Vegas a 1-0 lead 5:27 into the game.Karlsson got his 34th goal of the season, while Marchessault and Smith picked up their 41st and 37th assists, respectively.But shortly thereafter, Vegas center Ryan Carpenter committed a costly turnover with a terrible pass in the offensive zone, where Clifford took advantage and beat Lagace to tie it. Midway through the second period, Toffoli skated past Smith and took the puck with him, then beat Lagace to give the Kings a 2-1 advantage.”The mistakes were self-inflicted,” Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant said. ”We made some bad mistakes in the neutral zone and turned the puck over and they capitalized. We had some chances. We created some chances. We just didn’t play hard enough. We didn’t compete hard enough in the blue paint.”Kopitar extended the margin to 3-1 when he skated by Vegas defenseman Luca Sbisa and drew Lagace out of the net before swiftly moving to the side and putting the puck in.Carter finished the scoring on a power-play goal with less than two minutes remaining.”We talked as a team before the game and said if we want to get in the playoffs,” Stevens said, ”it’s about playing better this time of year Womens Josh Anderson Jersey , getting better every night, and it was good to see we did that.”NOTES: Campbell and Lagace were teammates in the minors with the Texas Stars and Idaho Steelheads. … After 11 consecutive starts, No. 1 goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was given the night off for Vegas after losing in Los Angeles on Monday. … The crowd of 18,328 was the second-largest for a Golden Knights home game. … Kopitar has points in each of the last three games. … Vegas, which had scored on the power play in 14 of its last 17 games, was 0 for 4 with the man advantage. … The Golden Knights dropped to 14-7 following a loss.UP NEXTKings: Host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.Golden Knights: Host the Ottawa Senators on Friday.—
