GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Covered in sparkly jewels and with a centerpiece that spins like a compass, the massive black belt covering Ray Whitney’s shoulder nearly engulfed his left side.
Maybe it was a little big for one of Phoenix’s smallest players, but it was a perfect fit after Whitney helped the Coyotes finish off an opponent just two nights after a disheartening loss.
Whitney had two goals, an assist Knowshon Moreno Authentic Jersey and was awarded Phoenix’s new player of the game belt after helping the Coyotes pull away for a 5-3 win over the New Jersey Devils Thursday night.

"The comfort level isn’t where it should be and you can see that in our group," the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Whitney said just before taking off his heavy and heavily-studded prize. "It’s something that we have to learn to play with confidence and play the same system Knowshon Moreno Elite Jersey when you’re out there. I thought as the (third) period went on, we got a little better with that."
Phoenix had trouble closing out games last season and it again has been a problem this season. The worst of it this season has come against Dallas, a team that beat the Coyotes in shootouts twice in two weeks after scoring in the closing seconds of regulation.
The second setback was just two days earlier, when the Stars scored with 61 seconds left to send the Coyotes off with another disheartening loss.
Whitney made sure it didn’t happen again.
The 39-year-old forward scored his fourth goal of the season in the second period, then gave Phoenix a two-goal cushion in the third by drawing New Jersey’s defense to the middle and flipping it to Martin Hanzal just outside the crease.
Just to make sure of no comeback, Whitney put it away with 5½ minutes left, squeezing a shot between Johan Hedberg’s pads on a 2-on-1 with Hanzal.
No letdowns this time. Just one big game from Whitney and one big belt waiting for him.
"He’s off to a good start this year and we need that," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "He understands his role, he’s a veteran player, good leader and brings a ton of skill to our group and you saw that tonight."
New Jersey was coming off one of its best games of the season, a 3-0 win over the Kings on Tuesday for Hedberg’s 18th career shutout.
The Devils weren’t nearly as good against Phoenix, giving up 42 shots -- 19 in the first period -- and neither was Hedberg, who allowed some big rebounds that turned into goals.
Zach Parise, Mark Fayne and Nick Palmieri each scored for New Jersey, which has lost three of four.
"That wasn’t our best effort, obviously," Devils defenseman Andy Greene said. "We started off slow and we had spurts of good moment there, but not enough to sustain a forecheck for long enough."
The Coyotes were plenty frustrated after giving up another late lead to Dallas on Tuesday.
Leading 2-1 after Shane Doan scored his 300th career goal, Phoenix allowed a goal with 61 seconds left in regulation then floundered in the shootout, scoring just one goal before losing 3-2 when shootout newbie Trevor Daley scored on the Stars’ eighth attempt.
The Coyotes had a similar letdown on Oct. 10, when Dallas scored with 27 seconds left and won Knowshon Moreno Limited Jersey in a shootout.
This one had the same kind of feel after two periods.
Patrick O’Sullivan got his first goal with Phoenix by kicking the puck in with his left skate. Following a long review, the officials allowed the goal since the puck went off Devils defenseman Bryce Salvador’s stick after O’Sullivan kicked it.
Parise answered late in the period when Mike Smith ventured too far from the crease, stealing it from Phoenix’s goalie behind the net and beating him back to score on a wraparound.
Fayne put New Jersey up 2-1 about 6 minutes into the second period, firing a shot from the blue line that beat Smith gloveside after two Devils leaped over the puck in front of him.
Phoenix answered later in the period on a power play, when Whitney reached out for a rebound and sent a wrister that went between Hedberg’s pads.
The Coyotes have been giving up goals late in periods this season, but turned it around on the Devils this time, with Raffi www.broncosonlineproshop.com/27_knowshon_moreno_jersey_authentic_black_limited_cheap.html Torres scoring on another rebound with 48 seconds left in the second to put Phoenix up 3-2.
Whitney and Hanzal finished it off with a flourish, trading goals and assists to give the Coyotes a three-goal lead.
Palmieri scored off a faceoff in the closing seconds, but by then it was far too late.
"We were chasing from behind the whole game," Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. "We had a little bit of a pushback, but for the most part you’re chasing from behind the whole night. That’s not a good spot to be in."

“I thought it was a hard-fought win,” said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan. “I thought we came out real hard in Von Miller Black Jersey the third, we got a bounce there at the end and we’ll take the two points. I thought it was a good effort, it was a pretty good hockey game.”

Football journey: Mark Anderson
2013年9月21日Football journey: Mark Anderson
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Mark Anderson occupies Tully Banta-Cain’s Eric Decker Black Jersey old locker and jersey number (95), and he’s also taken over his old role.
Anderson is the Patriots’ nickel rusher, primarily coming onto the field on third down and obvious passing situations. He’s played in all eight games this season, totaling 157 of a possible 564 snaps (including penalties). He is tied for the team lead with 4.5 sacks, three of which have come at the end of games when the Patriots had the outcome in hand.
In sharing his “football journey” with ESPNBoston.com this week, Anderson noted how a 12-sack rookie season with the Bears created a higher level of expectation that was an additional “opponent” to tackle.
When he first started playing football: “In the third grade. I played flag football for three years. I wanted to play tackle, all my friends were, but my dad wouldn’t let me. I didn’t start playing tackle football until middle school.”
Why he started playing football: “I loved basketball. That was my No. 1, and football was more something to do in the offseason.”
Role models in his career: “My family – my brother, my dad. Also, different players around the league, like Adewale Ogunleye, I still talk to him. Osi [Umenyiora], I work out with him all the time.”
What he loves about football: “I just love everything about it. I just like being in the locker room, around different guys, different personalities, just having fun.”
Top football memories at Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa: “There was one game where I had 19 tackles. Another game I had blocked two punts. I have a lot of good memories. My www.broncosonlineproshop.com/87_eric_decker_jersey_authentic_black_limited_cheap.html last year, we lost in the semis and I got kicked out Eric Decker Elite Jersey of the game for fighting [laughing]. My friends back home still blame me for not winning [the championship].”
Why he decided to attend University of Alabama: “Coach [Dennis] Franchione, his staff, they were recruiting me pretty hard. I liked their whole staff. I thought about going to TCU, because that’s where they were at the time, and when they got the job at Alabama, I was like, ‘That’s a major powerhouse.’ I thought it would help me to get to this level. I also liked that it was far away [from home]. It was a new start.”
Top memories of Alabama: “I remember the Florida game my last year. The whole last year, we had a great defense – DeMeco Ryans, Roman Harper, Charlie Peprah, Anthony Madison, Freddie Roach -- and all our hard work paid off that last year. Florida was ranked high and it was a good game for us. The crowd was crazy, I had a sack and a couple pressures. That was great.”

Fifth-round pick of the Bears in 2006; summing up his Eric Decker Limited Jersey Chicago tenure: “It was bittersweet. It started out well and after that, it was a learning experience, especially from the media. It was mainly good -- going to a Super Bowl your first year, you can’t beat that -- but I was always trying to get back to that 12-sack performance [as a rookie].”
The weight of expectations of a 12-sack season as a rookie: “It was a blessing but it does bring along a lot of different … having that type of impact a lot of stuff comes with that. [Media] was on me because the bar was set so high. Maybe if I came in, as a rookie, and had four sacks and gradually increased each year … when you start off so high, you’re trying to beat that each time.”
Cut by the Bears in October of 2010 and landing with the Texans the next day: “That was another good experience for me. I was in a new position; that’s when I started standing up, coming off the edge, doing different stuff as a linebacker-type guy. I loved that team, a lot of hungry, young guys who wanted to win. We just couldn’t click and gel at the time, but now, it looks like they’re doing real well.”
Life as a Patriot after signing a one-year deal in August of 2011: “I feel like it’s business now. I had been through a lot of ups and downs and now my whole mentality is to enjoy every moment you get to play, just try to make the best of it, even if it’s just 10 snaps. I’ll do whatever I can to help the team. That’s my whole mentality being in New England. The tradition here is crazy and to be a part of it in any way, I’m just doing my job.”
