RALEIGH, N.C. -- Cam Ward was perfect in goal for over 61 minutes on Sunday night, and then he got some help from a guy who rarely plays in overtime.Phillip Di Giuseppe scored his first goal of the season 1:26 into the extra period, giving the Carolina Hurricanes a 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.Viktor Stalberg assisted on Di Giuseppes wrist shot from the right circle, which ended a three-game skid for the Canes.It felt like the (first score) would win, especially the way it unfolded, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. Wardo stood tall. But we still need to find a way to score. We need to get different results offensively.It was Carolinas sixth straight home victory and snapped a three-game skid versus Tampa Bay. The Hurricanes have won just two of their last 10 games against the Lightning.And it was Carolinas first overtime win in six tries this season.When I got sent down (to Charlotte of the AHL on Nov. 11) the team got going, and when I came back (on Nov. 27) we were still playing well, Di Giuseppe said. We havent been getting many breaks, but tonight we did and thats nice. We played hard all 60 minutes, limited them to few Grade-A chances and Wardo made the big saves when he needed to and came out with a `W.Lightning coach Jon Cooper thought the winner should have been waved off because Stalberg bumped goalie Ben Bishops stick while Di Giuseppe shot.It was 100 percent goalie interference, Cooper said. The rule is in place for goalies to be able to make a save. Intention has nothing to do with it. (Bishops) stick was kicked and he was unable to make a save. Im blown away. Im mystified. I dont get it.Tampa Bay, without injured star Steven Stamkos, lost for the fifth time in six games. Its last regulation win was over Philadelphia on Nov. 23.Ward had 30 saves in his 25th career shutout. Bishop stopped 29 shots.It was one of those games when it was only going to take one, said Ward, who in his eighth season has the longest tenure of any of the current Hurricanes. We played smart and didnt press. We didnt take too many chances and waited for our opportunities. Our penalty kill has been a difference for us all season, and we contained them tonight. At the end of the day its about winning hockey games, and this team really wants to win.The Hurricanes, who have been the NHLs best penalty killers this season, dodged a bullet late in the third period when they killed off consecutive minors, including 22 seconds of 5-on-3.Its a good feeling to be winning like this at home, alternate captain Jeff Skinner said. You want to be able to establish an identity early in the year of being a tough team to play against at home. Weve done a good job over the last couple of weeks at home. Now our job is to try and take care of things on the road.Game notesHurricanes C Elias Lindholm (lower body) missed his second straight game, while D Klas Dahlbeck and D Ryan Murphy were healthy scratches. ...

Fake Air Max Plus . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.(STATS) -- Dont expect any red carpets rolled out before Villanova football games this year. Not surprisingly, coach Andy Talley wants to low-key his 32nd and final season with the Wildcats.Because I dont really feel like Im leaving, he said.Everybody else wants to make a big deal about the 73-year-olds swan song. His players are thinking the CAA Football championship and an FCS playoff berth are the perfect good-bye gifts.We want to send him off on a good note, senior defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon said.Its not out of the question after Villanova was picked fourth in the CAA preseason poll at media day Tuesday in Baltimore. Last years tri-champions preceded the Wildcats in the voting, with Richmond picked first, William & Mary second and James Madison third.Richmond, which returns 16 starters from a team that went 10-4 and reached the national semifinals, had the most players on the CAA preseason team with seven, led by the two preseason players of the year, junior quarterback Kyle Lauletta (offense) and senior safety David Jones (defense).Talley guided Villanova to the FCS national title in 2009 -- the most recent in the CAAs storied history. Last years team probably had a better chance to get to Frisco, Texas, for the final than this years team, but that chance blew up when All-America quarterback John Robertson suffered a season-ending knee injury in September.The Wildcats finished 6-5 overall and 5-3 in the CAA, tying for fourth place. But Zach Bednarczyk got seasoned behind center as a redshirt freshman, making the Wildcats better equipped for this season. With the defense among the CAAs best again, Talley will keep building on his school-record 221 wins and CAA-record 136 conference victories.You know, 32 years is a long time at a school, said Talley, who has 249 overall wins, counting five seasons at St. Lawrence, and I still have my health, Im enjoying myself, my (Be The Match) foundation (for the national bone marrow program) is doing a lot of great work and I want to spend a little more time doing that.Mark Ferrante, our long-time associate head coach is really more than ready to be the head coach. And the fact that our staff can stay on and continue to be there in good fashion. So all of that added up to this is a good time for me to walk away and watch the program continue to prosper.Villanova won four of its final six games last year to gain momentum -- although Talleys final season provides even more juice. The Wildcats return five starters on each side of the ball with talent movving up from the second units.ddddddddddddThey also dont face William & Mary or New Hampshire (a playoff qualifier in 12 straight seasons) in the CAAs unbalanced schedule.(Bednarczyk) has a great arm, and he can he run and get you out of trouble, Talley said. So its (about) when to throw, when not to throw. And I think he picked that up as time went on. He has a little more base operation of our offense now. Im very excited about Zach.If we can keep our (defensive) average per game around 17 or 18 points a game, I think we stand the chance to be pretty good this year.The conference race has a clear favorite in Richmond. This year marked just the second time in 10 years that a program was named the team to beat while collecting both preseason offensive and defensive player of the year honors.James Madison and William & Mary gained five selections each on the 28-member preseason team.---=CAA FOOTBALL PRESEASON POLL=Head Coaches and Sports Information Directors Poll1.
