Just to kind of be mentioned is an achievement in itself.But he wasnt about to look up a new flight when it was pointed out Columbus is sort of on the way to New York.I guess there was some talk, but theres so many good goalies in the league that, you know, Im not really holding my breath on anything.Hutchinson went into the game third among the leagues goalies with a 2.00 goals-against average and second in save percentage with his .932.Bobrovsky stopped nine of the 12 shots he faced and was replaced by Curtis McElhinney.Winnipeg scored on its first two shots of the game, with Blake Wheeler getting his 13th of the season at 1:08 and Evander Kane following up with his 10th on the second shot at 6:06 of the first period.Chris Thorburn and Jim Slater scored second-period goals for the Jets.Fans gave the players a loud, standing ovation as the seconds counted down.

Hes the most important player on our team and he goes down with an injury. You dont want to see that on any team.The Blue Jackets have three players selected to make their all-star debut — Bobrovsky, Johansen and Nick Foligno. Its the first time the franchise has had more than one player selected to play in the game.Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien is the only Jets player participating in the game.Jets head coach Paul Maurice said if Bobrovsky cant play and Hutchinson gets tapped on the shoulder, hed be happy for him — but a bit worried, too.We love Hutchie, Maurice said. Im not excited about goaltenders going to all-star games. Its the one lousy position in that game.How could you not be just enamoured by the way hes played? There are a lot of good goaltenders in this league, but he would certainly be a guy whos earned it.The Jets go into the break picking up points in seven straight games (6-0-1).Wheeler opened the scoring when he took a pass from Andrew Ladd and got a backhand shot off as he was spinning around and falling down in the slot.Just rest, Wheeler said of his upcoming plans during the break. I think thats the key. This is a good opportunity. Weve played a lot of hockey here, especially recently.Kane scored after taking a dropped pass by Mark Scheifele just outside the top of the right face-off circle and firing a low shot at Bobrovsky, who had to look back in the net after the puck went through his pads at 6:06 for the 2-0 lead.Some good saves by Hutchinson and blocked shots by the Jets kept Columbus off the scoreboard in the opening period in which the Blue Jackets outshot Winnipeg 14-6.Jay Harrisons point shot went through traffic and was tipped in by Slater at 4:45 of the second.

He was then supported by a teammate as he made his way to the dressing room, but returned to the game.Winnipeg soon made it 4-0 when Thorburn scored on a rebound with 5:50 remaining. The Jets flipped the table in the middle frame, outshooting the Blue Jackets 17-7 to go ahead 23-21.Hutchinson had fans chanting his name in the third period after he robbed a close shot by Columbus centre Brandon Dubinsky with about eight minutes left. Tyrann Mathieu Jersey . Wheeler said Kane was just making a joke that was misunderstood and misinterpreted by "Winnipeg folks" and the media once again. Wheeler repeated that he believes Kane is a player who has the ability to help the Jets get to the next level as they try once again to reach the playoffs in 2014. He made the comments initially in an interview, when asked how the Jets could compete in the Central Division with teams that have made some high-profile off-season signings.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the Chicago Tribune reported it to be worth $4.5 million. Motte was the closer for the St. Louis Cardinals before undergoing Tommy John surgery during the 2013 season. He returned last year and was 1-0 with a 4.68 earned run average in 29 games. The 32-year-old right-hander owns a career record of 18-13 with 54 saves and a 3.03 ERA in 311 relief appearances -- all with St. Louis -- from 2008-14. He has 290 strikeouts in 285 innings pitched.dddddddddddd Motte helped the Cardinals to the 2011 World Series championship, closing out Game 7 against Texas to cap a postseason in which he produced five saves and a 2.19 ERA in 12 games. In 2012, Motte tied for the National League lead with 42 saves and posted a record of 4-5 with a 2.75 ERA in 67 games. He developed an elbow injury in spring training the following year and eventually underwent surgery in May, forcing him to miss the entire 2013 season. The Cubs will likely employ Motte as a setup man for Hector Rondon, who notched 29 saves last season. ' ' '
