PHILADELPHIA -- Shea Weber finally made himself at home in Philadelphia. The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. Josi beat Flyers goalie Steve Mason for the last of a combined five shootout goals to give the Predators the needed road win as they chase a playoff spot. Weber had a big night in his first game against Philadelphia since the Flyers made him a $110 million, 14-year offer in the summer of 2012. The Predators matched the deal, keeping him in Nashville. He declined to go into detail about his return to Philly, simply stating he was happy with the win. He wasnt even booed by the fans, though Flyers forward Scott Hartnell got in his ear. "Just Hartsy cause hes always chirping," Weber said, smiling. "But thats nothing new, though." Weber snapped a tie game with a power-play goal early in the third period. Wayne Simmonds tied the game 3-all with a power-play goal with 1:24 left in regulation to send the game into OT. Eric Nystrom and David Legwand also scored in regulation for Nashville. Brayden Schenn and Andrej Meszaros scored for the Flyers. "We moved our feet, made the right plays and played the way we wanted to play," Flyers captain Giroux said. "We had our chances. We played well and were able to tie it up at the end there. They just did a good job in finding a way to get the two points." Nashville dug deep into the pocketbook and decided to pay Weber the $110 million over 14 years offered by the Flyers. The Flyers were looking for someone to fill the void left in defenceman Chris Prongers absence. Instead, they were left scrambling without the former All-Star and Olympic gold medallist . Even with their captain in the fold, the Predators are fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. They can thank Webers 12th goal for setting up this win -- and one incredible save by Carter Hutton. The Predators acquired Oilers goaltender Devan Dubnyk this week, but went with Hutton in front of another sold out Philadelphia crowd. Hutton was behind the net as he chased a puck that knocked off the boards and back to a charging Michael Raffl, who had an open look at the net and fired for the seemingly easy goal. Hutton hustled like an All-Star shortstop and made a diving grab to snatch the puck. Raffl could only shake his head in disbelief on the second period stop. That was just the break the Predators needed. "That was sick," Josi said. "Thats going to be on the highlight reel for a long time. He was more like a soccer goalie on that save." The Flyers needed only 1:26 into the game to score when Schenn tapped in a loose puck for his 13th goal of the season. The fast start was short-lived. Nashville scored the next two goals, erasing Philadelphias early momentum. Raffl whiffed as he tried to clear the puck, giving Gabriel Borque a look at the net. His shot was deflected by Nystrom for his seventh goal. The Flyers were then down two players after Kimmo Timonen was whistled for boarding and Giroux for tripping. The Predators failed to score on their 1:18 of a 5-on-3 advantage, but just as Girouxs penalty came off the clock, Legwand connected on a one-timer for a 2-1 lead. Weber assisted on the first two goals, exactly the kind of play the Flyers expected when they made him the monster offer. One of the worst teams in the league at protecting the puck, the Flyers had seven giveaways in the first period. "I thought we may have been sitting back a little too much," Schenn said. "Obviously, they are a very quick team who works hard. When you sit back theyre going to take it to you." Meszaros tied the game 2-all with 3.6 seconds left in the second period.

Discount Hockey Jerseys .S. - Nova Scotias Mary Fay guaranteed at least one more match and a shot at the Canadian junior curling championships final on home ice.(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Francisco Giants will play their final game of the regular season and hope to enter the playoffs on a winning note Sunday in the finale of a four-game series with the San Diego Padres. The Giants will play their wild card game on the road and can capture a series victory with a win over the Padres. The Giants posted a 3-1 win on Saturday and broke a 1-1 tie on Brandon Crawfords two-run single in the eighth. We needed it today; hes been swinging the bat as well as anybody, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Crawford. Hes shortened things up and is throwing out quality ABs, one after another. Crawford plated Matt Duffy and Brandon Belt with two out to help San Francisco to its second win in three tries in this series. Duffy and Gary Brown both had two hits in the win. Hunter Strickland recorded the victory in relief and Santiago Casilla tossed the ninth for his 19th save. Former Padre Jake Peavy allowed one run and four hits across five innings in the start for the Giants and was facing San Diego for the first time. Peavy won the 2007 NL Cy Young Award with the Friars. Chris Heston will make his first major league start on the mound for Bochys club Sunday and has appeared in relief twice this season. The rightt-hander went 12-9 with a 3.dddddddddddd8 ERA in 28 starts at Triple-A Fresno this season. Good for this kid, Bochy said. Hes had a good year at Fresno, so well get a better look at him. I know its been awhile since hes had a lot of time on the mound, but hell get the start. The Padres have missed the playoffs in each of the past seven seasons and had won seven of nine games until the recent defeat. Dale Thayer was responsible for the runs in the eighth to take the loss and San Diego starting pitcher Eric Stults pitched well in the no-decision, charged with only a run in seven innings with five strikeouts and no walks. The biggest thing was wanting to find some consistency, Stults said. I picked up my tempo and made a mechanical fix. I tried to keep the mindset that I wanted to finish strong. San Diego will try to finish strong with Robbie Erlin on the hill Sunday and he is 4-4 with a 4.53 earned run average. Erlin is 3-0 in his last six trips to the mound and did not factor in the outcome of a 3-2 loss to Colorado on Tuesday, as he allowed two runs in four innings. Erlin, a left-hander, is winless (0-2) with a 4.50 ERA in three career starts against San Francisco. The Padres are 10-8 against the Giants this season. ' ' '
