While the Toronto Maple Leafs signed head coach Randy Carlyle to a two-year extension on Thursday, the contract includes a team option for the final year. Carlyle had one year left on his existing deal, meaning his new contract runs through the 2016-17 season. "Leafs are not locked into Carlyle. If things dont work out, hes gone next year or year after," tweeted TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger. Carlyles assistants Dave Farrish, Greg Cronin and Scott Gordon were not retained for next season. "We feel that this group can continue to grow into a higher level of a hockey club," said Carlyle during a conference all on Thursday. "We just have to find and continue to push for a little bit more from the individuals and we are going to do everything we possibly can to change some of the things that are happening with our group." The Maple Leafs started the 2013-14 season on a 10-4-0 run, but Carlyle worried at the time that his team was getting away with sloppy play in the defensive zone. Going into and coming out of the Olympic break, the Leafs were rolling despite being badly outshot on most nights. When they beat the Kings in Los Angeles on March 13, they were in second place in the division. But starting goaltender Jonathan Bernier aggravated a groin injury that night, and though it was not considered serious at the time, it proved to be devastating. James Reimer lost five straight games and was pulled March 23 against the New Jersey Devils before Bernier returned and lost three more. The final night of that losing streak, March 29 against the Detroit Red Wings, was effectively the death knell for Torontos playoff hopes. Pierre Turgeon Jersey . It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points.

Zemgus Girgensons Jersey . -- Billy Donovans bench came up big, bailing out top-seeded Florida in a tight game against what was supposed to be an overmatched opponent.ST. PAUL, Minn. - Thomas Vanek was bound to get a goal for Minnesota soon. The Wilds power play was well overdue, too.Scoring with a snap shot off a textbook behind-the-goal-line pass by Zach Parise, Vanek crossed both items off the to-do list on Saturday night.Vanek capped a three-goal second period with his first score for his new team, and the Wild stayed unbeaten at home with a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars.Mikael Granlund and Matt Dumba struck first for the Wild, the first goal for each this season, but the loudest roar from the crowd came when Vanek scored 57 seconds before the intermission. Vanek skated emotionless off the ice, only slightly shaking his head. He said hes not much of a celebrator.It was more a relief more than anything, said Vanek, who signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the Wild. Even though it didnt look like much, it felt great.Not only did the puck that whizzed past goalie Kari Lehtonens glove give Minnesota a 3-1 lead, it gave Vanek his first goal in 10 games with the Wild and gave them their first goal in 29 extra-skater opportunities. They were the last NHL team to get one.It was way past the joking point. It was more just relief, said Parise, who had two assists and has a team-high 10 points in 10 games.Thats about the only part of Minnesotas game that wasnt working well. Darcy Kuemper made 19 saves to improve to 6-2 as the Wild raised their home record to 5-0, including four wins in regulation, with a 22-6 goal differential in those games. The Wild have scored first in eight of their 10 games, going 6-2 when doing so.Nino Niederreiter added another power-play goal for good measure in the third period, a slick between-the-skates tip-in of Ryan Suters feed in the third period.We were just sticking with our game. We knew it was going to come eventually, Dumba said of the power play. Its just one of those things that we werent getting the bounces, but hopefully now we can get it rolling.Wild coach Mike Yeo said he wasnt worried about Vanek. Stars coach Lindy Ruff, his longtimee coach with the Buffalo Sabres, wasnt buying the slump, either.ddddddddddddThomas is going to score 25 to 30 goals. Hes that good a goal scorer, as good as any guy around the front of the net that Ive ever coached, Ruff said.Vernon Fiddler scored for the Stars, just 8 seconds after Dumbas goal, but they were outshot 30-20. The Wild have outshot every opponent this season, by a whopping total of 350 to 229.Theres energy missing in our game. Its as simple as that, Ruff said.Lehtonen was in the Dallas net for the second straight night, having lost in overtime at home Friday to Anaheim 2-1. He made several difficult saves, but his effort was hardly enough. Backup Anders Lindback has given up nine goals in two games this season, and Ruff wasnt ready to give him another start.The Stars fell to 0-2-2 in their last four games after going 0 for 4 on the power play. They had 78 seconds of a 5-on-3 advantage in the first period that was frittered away without a threat.Jordie Benns failed clearing attempt was snagged by Granlund, who pivoted and zipped a slap shot from the slot into the net with Parise screening Lehtonen. Jamie Benn took the slashing penalty that set up Niederreiters power-play goal.Things were coming easy for us at the beginning of the year, and now were starting to find a bit of an uphill stretch here, Fiddler said. Good teams find a way to work through it, and thats what were going to have to do.NOTES: Stars RW Ales Hemsky sustained an upper-body injury in the second period and didnt return. ... The Wild got defenceman Jonas Brodin and centre Erik Haula back from two-game absences, both due to upper-body injuries. ... The Wild placed D Jared Spurgeon (shoulder) on the injured list, expecting him to miss several games. Christian Folin (illness) returned from a five-game absence to take his place in the lineup. Spurgeon has a team-high 25 blocked shots and six points in nine games. ... The Wild improved to 19-25-8 (including 15-9-2 at home) against the Stars, who played in Minnesota from 1967-93.
