(Sports Network) - The Vancouver Canucks continue their eight-game homestand tonight with a visit from the St. Patriots Authentic Tom Brady Jersey . Louis Blues to General Motors Place. The Canucks are 4-1-0 on the residency and won the first three games of the stand before a loss to the Ducks on Wednesday. They rebounded two days later with a 3-2 triumph over the visiting Capitals. Mason Raymond tied the game in the second period and netted the game-winner in the third to give him a career-high 14 goals and help guide Vancouver, which improved to 14-5-0 at home this year. Ryan Kesler lit the lamp and picked up an assist on Raymonds go-ahead tally. Roberto Luongo made 25 saves and denied a penalty shot by Washingtons Alexander Semin just moments after Raymonds go-ahead marker. "I thought we played well in the first period, but we had a few unlucky breaks and they got the rebound," Luongo said. "We stayed with it and obviously we got a few big goals there by [Raymond]." Henrik Sedin notched an assist to run his point streak to nine games, a burst in which he has a goal and 15 assists. However, brother Daniel had his point streak end at eight games. The Blues come to town having lost three of their last four games. They were handed a 6-3 defeat by the Lightning on Friday, getting goals from Brad Winchester, T.J. Oshie and Keith Tkachuk in the home setback. Paul Kariya and David Backes added two assists each and Chris Mason yielded five goals on 23 shots. "They have some really good offensive players, but my job is to stop the puck regardless of what the situation is," Mason said. "I can definitely get better." St. Louis begins a four-game road trip tonight and is 8-3-3 as the guest this year. The Blues have lost five of their last six in Vancouver, but notched their second straight home win over the Canucks on November 10 in the first meeting of the season between the clubs. David Perron led the 6-1 victory with his first career hat trick, while Mason made 22 saves. Perron leads the Blues with nine goals, but hasnt notched a goal in any of his last 13 games. Henrik Sedin had the lone tally for the Canucks in the loss, though Vancouver has still won six of the last 10 in the series overall. Bengals Andy Dalton Jersey .

ATLANTA - Rick Dudley knows a thing or two about putting together a winning hockey team from his stints in Buffalo, Ottawa, Tampa Bay and Chicago. Hes taken on another major project with the Atlanta Thrashers, a team that has made the playoffs only once in its 11-year history and faces questions about how long it can survive in this city. Dudley was promoted to general manager Wednesday, part of a wide-ranging shakeup in which previous GM Don Waddell was bumped upstairs to team president and coach John Anderson was fired. Despite all the changes, Dudley doesnt think it will take that long for the Thrashers to become a perennial post-season franchise - and put aside that speculation about going elsewhere. We thought we should have made the playoffs this year, so obviously we expect to next year, Dudley said. Were at the point now where we can evolve into something pretty good, and pretty quickly. Dudley, who joined the Thrashers as associate general manager last summer, will run the hockey operations, looking to bolster a roster that dealt its top player, Ilya Kovalchuk, at the trade deadline when it couldnt come to terms on a new contract. He also needs to put fans in the seats - the Thrashers averaged 13,607 this season, third-lowest in the league and a major reason the franchise has been subjected to numerous reports that it will become the second NHL team to leave Atlanta (the Flames moved to Calgary in 1980). The 61-year-old Dudley believes the nucleus is in place, pointing to goalie Ondrej Pavelec, defencemen Zach Bogosian, Tobias Enstrom, Ron Hainsey and Johnny Oduya, and forwards Rich Peverley, Evander Kane, Niclas Bergfors, Bryan Little, Clarke MacArthur and Colby Armstrong. No one in that core is older than 29; Kane and Bogosian are still teenagers. Its very simple: You cant sell tickets to a bad product, Dudley said. Right now, were focused on building a team that will hopefully become an exciting thing in this market. I think this market can support a good product. Dudley coached in Buffalo from 1989-92, leading the Sabres to a couple playoff appearances, but hes known more for his work in the front office. He served as a general manager in Ottawa, Tampa Bay and Florida and five years as a top assistant in Chicago. He assembled much of the nucleus for a Lightning team that won the Stanley Cup in 2004, and his work with the Blackhawks helped revvive a moribund franchise with some of the best young talent in the NHL. Cowboys Miles Austin Jersey. I can honestly say, when I first got to Chicago, you could shake hands with everybody in the crowd by the end of the first period, Dudley quipped. Now, you cant get in the building. Waddell had been the only general manager in Thrashers history. While responsible for drafting future stars such as Kovalchuk and Dany Heatley, he never put together a consistent winner and became the most visible target of the fans wrath. In his new job, Waddell will largely be responsible for business operations, not the product on the ice. My role within the company has evolved and grown the last few years, and the owners and I agree that its the appropriate time to have Rick assume all hockey-related responsibilities, he said in a statement. I will be less involved with the team on a daily basis, but will continue to make myself available to Rick and to lend my experience in any way that allows him to succeed and for us to build this club into a perennial contender. Anderson served only two years as the Thrashers coach after being promoted from the same job with the teams top minor-league affiliate in Chicago. He was 70-75-19 and had a nasty falling-out with one of the teams leading offensive players, Slava Kozlov, who said the team had the talent to make the playoffs but was poorly coached. Dudley did little to contradict that assessment, saying he felt the team didnt put enough emphasis on defence and had trouble breaking out of slumps under Anderson. Also, there were questions about how well he developed players such as the 22-year-old Little, who slumped to 13 goals this season after scoring 31 the previous year. The bottom line is, we thought we had a good enough team to make the playoffs, and we didnt make it, Dudley said. When that happens, you look at the reasons for it. Im not saying John Anderson isnt a good coach. I would never say that. But someone has to take the blame, and he did. The team also fired Andersons three assistant coaches: Randy Cunneyworth, Todd Nelson and Steve Weeks. Absolute disappointment, Anderson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after being told the option year in his contract would not be picked up. I think we left the house in pretty good order. We almost made the playoffs. I wish we had. It might have been the difference in my job and some other guys jobs. ' ' '
