GLENDALE, Ariz. Avonte Maddox Eagles Jersey . -- The Carolina Hurricanes have spent a good portion of the past two weeks on the road and had mixed results. Theyre headed home for a long break with a nice road win, thanks to their top line. Eric Staal had a goal and two assists, Jeff Skinner scored for the third straight game and the Hurricanes ended a four-game road trip with a 3-1 win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night. "Its a big win for us. You look at the standings, you have to pick up points wherever you can," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "But its the way we won. At the end of a long road trip, we fought and played hard to beat a good hockey team." Playing on the road for the sixth time in seven games since Dec. 3, the Hurricanes withstood an initial flurry and goal by Phoenix to pull out an impressive road victory before getting five days off. Justin Peters was solid and made some big saves down the stretch, stopping 37 shots. Nathan Gerbe tied the game in the second period and Skinner put the Hurricanes ahead early in the third with his eighth goal in six games. Staal put the finishing touches on it with an empty-net goal, giving his line -- he skates with Skinner and Tuomo Ruutu -- 16 goals and 17 assists since Skinners return from injured reserve on Nov. 21 "We are getting chances," Skinner said. "Sometimes thats the way it goes, it goes in, sometimes it doesnt. We got some chances and I was lucky to capitalize on them." Phoenix played a solid game, going up 1-0 in the first period on Paul Bissonnettes first goal in two years. The Coyotes had plenty of chances over the next two periods, but couldnt get anything else past Peters, and lost a key faceoff in the third that led to Skinners goal. "We werent bad tonight, but we could have been way better," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "We could have used a spark from somebody tonight and it didnt come." Coming off a difficult stretch, the Coyotes had earned points in three straight games, including a 6-3 win over the Islanders on Thursday, despite missing several key players. Phoenix was short-handed again against Carolina. Captain Shane Doan missed his fourth straight game with an illness, defenceman Derek Morris was out for the fourth straight game and left wing Lauri Korpikoski sat out his 11th straight. The Coyotes have been getting by with production throughout their lines and the start of Saturdays game was no different. Generating some good early chances, Phoenix scored midway through the first period, when Jeff Halpern kept the puck in Carolinas zone and found Connor Murphy at the right point. He fed a pass to Bissonnette in the crease and the fourth-liner redirected it in for his first goal since Nov. 19, 2011, against Buffalo and first at home since 2010. "Its just good for confidence, just getting chemistry with our line," Bissonnette said. "Weve got guys in and out of the lineup and our line keeps changing, so its nice to play with the same guys and get comfortable." The Hurricanes took over after that. Gerbe tied it at 8:50 of the second period, keeping it on a 2-on-1 and beating Smith to the glove side with a wrister for his seventh of the season. Peters made a huge save late in the second period, stopping Antoine Vermette on a breakaway, and Skinner put the Hurricanes up by scooping up a loose puck off a faceoff and whipping a shot past Smith 3 minutes into the third to score in his third straight game. Peters turned the Coyotes away when they turned up the pressure late, including a spectacular save against Mike Ribeiro. "We talk about timely goals; he made some really timely saves at the right time of the game," Muller said. "He looks real confident." So do the Hurricanes after a big road win. NOTES: Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt dropped the ceremonial puck before the game. ... Hurricanes rookie C Elias Lindholm did not play after taking a hard hit against Calgary on Thursday. ... Doan spoke during the second intermission and said he still doesnt know what caused him to be sick the past 10 days, but has responded to medicine and is feeling better. No timetable has been given for his return. ... Carolinas Tim Gleason had an assist for his 100th point with the Hurricanes Custom Eagles Jerseys .

And it showed Thursday night. The Canadiens, playing in their second game in as many days, however, got a good performance in the end from their backup goaltender as he filled in for an injured Olympic gold medallist .TORONTO - Moments after the most memorable game of his young life came to a close, an usually large crowd gathered around the locker of Bruno Caboclo, just a few feet to the left of DeMar DeRozans. You play one game and you get this?, joked DeRozan, who is accustomed to seeing the media jockey for position around his locker. Lou Williams chanted the rookies name over and over, echoing the screams of a sellout crowd at the Air Canada Centre Friday, and took photos of the scrum on his phone. Your moms going to love this, said Williams. Smiling ear-to-ear, the 19-year-old Caboclo searched for the words to describe a night that no one saw coming. Concluding a franchise-longest seven-game home stand, with LeBron James and the Cavaliers on deck the following evening, the Raptors were understandably wary of the upstart Milwaukee Bucks, who came in with a 7-5 record having won three in row. The result: their second-most lopsided victory in team history. I thought the mental focus was great, Dwane Casey said following his teams impressive 41-point rout of Milwaukee. No one in that locker room was even talking about tomorrow night. The Raptors trailed for seconds early in the game before taking control. Their lead continued to grow and by the end of the third quarter they were up 101-57, igniting chants for Caboclo, the 20th pick in Junes draft who has quickly become a cult favourite in Toronto. On queue, the rookie entered to a rousing ovation. Fans repeated his name in unison. They used it to replace defence when the Bucks had the ball. Lets go Raptors became Lets go Bruno. Shortly after his first shot rimmed out, Caboclo caught an alley-oop pass from Williams for his first NBA bucket. The building was shaking. [There were] butterflies in my stomach, the Brazilian forward admitted after the game. Everybodys saying my name. Its incredible. The biggest and most promising takeaway from his 12 minutes of action, like his performance in the pre-season and Summer League: he showed no fear. He was confident in his jump shoot - hitting a pair of three-balls, one from the corner and a step-back jumper over Ersan Ilyasova - and he showed off his wingspan on defence, swatting Nate Wolters shot from behind. I thought it was special, Casey said. The kids a beautiful kid. Like any other kid hes learning and growing in the NBA. As a coach, I see him growing everyday and know what he needs to work on, but it was great to get an opportunity to get him in the game. Led by starters Kyle Lowry (20 points, nine rebounds on the night) and Jonas Valanciunas (18 points, 12 rebounds), the Raptors dropped 37 first-quarter points on Milwaukee, the NBAs fourth ranked defensive team entering the game. But it was Torontos bench that really put the game out of reach. Chuck Hayes pushed around the Bucks bigs, Greivis Vasquez had 11 points in his best outing of the season and Williams led all scorers with 22, beating the buzzer with three-pointers at the end of both the first and second quarters. Shooting 52 per cent from the field, 15-for-25 from long range and out-rebounding Milwaukee by 27, the Raptors more than overcame a 1-for-8 shooting performance from DeRozan, their leading scorer. One of Caboclos treys, midway through the fourth quarter, gave Toronto a 52-point advantage, the largest lead in franchise history. Haloti Ngata Jersey. Guys came out with a professional approach, Casey said. We thought it was going to be a tough battle. We knew that they had been playing well so our guys were focused and came in with a business-like approach, which we needed and wanted. The Raptors finished their 6-1 home stand the way they started it. Two weeks ago they put together one of their most complete efforts of the season - a 19-point wire-to-wire victory over the Wizards. Since that night, they crushed whats looking like a historically terrible 76ers team, dropped a tough game to the Bulls after a flat third quarter and needed late-game rallies to steal wins over Orlando, Utah and Memphis. In the end, they outscored opponents by a total of 111 points (15.9 per contest) over that stretch. Its very difficult to do, to play at home this many games in a row, Casey said. Psychologically, its tough to go through the grind, the monotony of every other day or whatever the schedule was. I think our guys mentally fought through that and thats something thats a credit to them. Thats what weve been preaching, is to fight through things mentally, be focused, dont let outside distractions get you outside what you want to do. So Ive been relatively pleased. I really like the focus of our team right now. Weve got to maintain it, be consistent with it. Thats the main thing right now. You just stay focused, man, Hayes said. You understand that its a marathon, you understand that were playing for something bigger than a seven-game home stand. Youve got to win these games at home, youve got to protect home. Due to the fact that weve been lucky enough to have a seven-game home stand in November, December were out there on that road and were going to need each other. Thats when the real test begins. How will they fair when adversity hits? Will the chemistry theyve raved about hold up? We really havent hit the dog days of the season yet, December and January is where it hits you, Hayes said. But we have a great group of veterans, a great group of guys, who know how to be professionals. If we slip up we hold each other accountable and thats very important in this locker room. They will see four playoff caliber opponents over their next four games, two of them on the road, beginning with the James and the new-look Cavaliers in Cleveland on the second night of a back-to-back Saturday. Its been nearly five years since the Raptors have defeated James, going back to his first stint in Ohio. Since then, hes had their number - mostly as a member of the Heat - winning 16 straight meetings with Toronto. Hes one more victory away from tying Steve Nash for most consecutive wins (by a player) over the Raps. Overall, theyre 32-7 against the King, with their last road win coming in 2004, his rookie year. While the Cavaliers have struggled to find themselves on the defensive end with a newly formed big three, Washington has been undermanned in the absence of injured, and recently mended guard Bradley Beal, and the rest of the East has looked predictably average, the Raptors have taken advantage of their continuity and a forgiving early-season schedule. [Its] very significant, said Hayes. Because it gives you that margin of error when you do hit those dog days in December and January.
