CHICAGO — If the Chicago Blackhawks have any chance of rebounding from last year’s last-place finish in the Western Conference’s Central Division www.officialhockeyrangersshop.com , getting contributions from their big-name veterans will play a big role.That’s where captain Jonathan Toews enters the picture.Heading into the Blackhawks’ home opener Sunday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toews has produced goals in the first two games of the season for the first time in his career.Article continues below ...Toews had three goals in a 5-4 overtime victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night in which the Blackhawks watched a one-goal lead vanish in the third period when the Blues scored twice in a 22-second span to take the lead. But Chicago responded with a Toews game-tying goal in the third period before he delivered the winner at 2:20 of overtime.“Johnny’s been unbelievable the first two games as far as leading the way and leading the charge,” Chicago winger Patrick Kane told reporters after Saturday’s victory, according to the Blackhawks’ official website. “You couldn’t really ask much more from the captain.”While the Blackhawks will carry the momentum of back-to-back overtime victories into Sunday’s game at the United Center, the fact that Toews has found a way to come up with a heavy dose of early season production with his four goals is a serious positive for the Blackhawks moving forward.“Johnny looked powerful,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville told reporters after Chicago’s season-opening victory over the Ottawa Senators, according to The Athletic. “He was quick in the puck area New York Rangers T-Shirts Authentic , got some explosiveness out of it. Got some free pucks. With his line having the puck, or him having the puck. A lot of things can happen.”As one of Chicago’s aging veterans, Toews understands what a fast start could mean for him — and the Blackhawks. But after an off season, both from a personal and team standpoint, Toews said that getting back to basics could go a long way as he attempts to bounce back.“We’re all trying to find our legs and get used to that pace and get our timing down, myself included,” Toews said New York Rangers Hoodies Authentic , according to The Athletic. “As the game went on, I just felt a little bit more comfortable. I think as a team, we did a better job winning our battles and just being tough in the puck areas later in the game. Hopefully, I can build off of that.”The Blackhawks will face the Maple Leafs, who dropped a 5-3 decision to the Senators on Saturday.Toronto, which scored all three of its goals in the second period, couldn’t produce the equalizer after Ottawa scored 1:42 into the third period before the Senators picked up an empty-net goal with 25 seconds remaining.Frederik Andersen finished with 19 saves for the Maple Leafs. Backup goalie Garret Sparks will start in net for Toronto against Chicago on Sunday.Despite the Maple Leafs’ loss on Saturday New York Rangers Hats Authentic , Andersen was encouraged by how his teammates played in front of him.“I thought we had a good game,” Andersen said, according to NHL.com. “I think we created some good opportunities to score and so did (Ottawa), but they scored a little bit more. They got the most of their opportunities.”Leafs forward Auston Matthews also saw improvement.“I think we played a much better game than we did opening night,” Matthews said, according to NHL.com. NEW YORK (AP) The New York Rangers hired Boston University’s David Quinn as their new head coach Wednesday, the second college coach hired by an NHL team this month and third in the past four years.Quinn replaces Alain Vigneault Custom New York Rangers Jerseys , who was fired hours after the Rangers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2010. An introductory news conference was scheduled for Thursday.”In a coaching career that has spanned over two decades at the collegiate, pro, and international level, David has helped his teams achieve success while simultaneously teaching the game and helping his players develop on and off the ice,” general manager Jeff Gorton said. ”He is the ideal choice to bring our loyal and passionate fans the winning hockey they deserve.”The 51-year-old Quinn coached Boston University to four NCAA Tournament appearances in five seasons, including a trip to the national title game in 2015. He spent the lockout-shortened 2013 NHL season as an assistant on Joe Sacco’s staff with the Colorado Avalanche.”David brings a diverse and successful coaching resume that includes extensive work in developing young talent,” Rangers owner James Dolan said. ”I am confident he is an excellent fit for our team www.officialsenators.com , and know he will work tirelessly with (team president Glen Sather), Jeff and our entire organization to execute our plan to build the next Rangers Stanley Cup-contending team.”The Rangers made the playoffs in four of Vigneault’s five seasons as coach, including a 2014 trip to the Stanley Cup Final. They went 226-147-37 in the regular season under Vigneault, who is third in regular-season and playoff wins in franchise history.The retooling Rangers are the latest team to dip into the college ranks for a coach after the Philadelphia Flyers hired Dave Hakstol from North Dakota in 2015 and the Dallas Stars hired Jim Montgomery from the University of Denver in early May. Before Hakstol, it had been 28 years since a coach made the jump from the NCAA to the NHL.—
