DETROIT -- The Washington Capitals are the latest team to take advantage of the Detroit Red Wings generosity at home. Michael Pierce Jersey . Nicklas Backstrom scored the only goal of the shootout, and the Capitals rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat the Red Wings 4-3 on Friday night. It was the Detroits seventh consecutive home loss and its 11th straight overtime loss at Joe Louis Arena. "Very surprising. It just goes to show you how fickle the game is," said Washington coach Adam Oates, who began his Hall of Fame playing career with Detroit in the mid-1980s. "The same team could win a zillion in a row." Brooks Laich, and Alex Ovechkin added goals, and Michale Latta scored his first in the NHL for Washington. Braden Holtby made 30 saves. The Capitals rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period to tie the game and send it into overtime. "Its a huge win. Thats a good team," said Ovechkin, who trimmed the led to 3-2 early in the third. "Everyone knows what they have out there and how good they are. They got a 3-1 lead, and we kept pushing." Johan Franzen had two goals and an assist, and Danny DeKeyser had a goal and an assist for Detroit. Jakub Kindl had two assists, and Jimmy Howard made 34 saves. "Same thing, same outcome but we cant get frustrated, cant get discouraged," Howard said. "Somehow, some way keep a positive mind frame in here and just continue to keep going out there and working because were doing a lot of good things. "Its tough to take over a game for a full 60 minutes. Theres going to be waves and ups and downs. Mistakes happen, were just going to have to find a way to overcome them." Latta tied it 3-3 with 8:06 left in regulation when he poked in a loose puck from just outside the slot. "Obviously nice to get it when it meant so much, and not a 7-0 game," Latta said. Ovechkin had brought Washington within 3-2 at 3:19 of the third period with his 15th goal. He beat Howard with a one-timed shot from the bottom of the left circle. DeKeysers power-play goal with 18 seconds remaining in the second period gave Detroit a 3-1 lead. He put in a one-timed shot from the right circle for his second goal. Holtby made a spectacular toe save -- with the puck right along the goal line -- on Tomas Tatars wraparound attempt with 5:50 left in the first period. Laich opened the scoring 5:50 into the game when he backhanded in his own rebound after skating in off the right wing following a turnover by DeKeyser in the neutral zone. Franzen then scored twice to put Detroit ahead. His power-play goal with 4:08 left in the first tied it at 1. He beat Holtby with a screened snap shot from the left circle. Franzen struck again with 2:18 left when he put in a one-timed shot from the bottom of the left circle for his fourth goal of the season.

Sam Koch Jersey . - The Denver Broncos kept rookie wide receiver Tavarres King from joining the Green Bay Packers by promoting him to their active roster Tuesday.OAKLAND, Calif. - It took a couple of big plays from a pair of rookies for the San Diego Chargers to hold off the winless Oakland Raiders.Branden Oliver scored on a 1-yard run with 1:56 to play and Jason Verrett sealed San Diegos 31-28 win Sunday with an acrobatic interception that spoiled interim coach Tony Sparanos debut with Oakland.When it came down to it, to crunch time, both sides stepped up and made plays to win it, quarterback Philip Rivers said. I just think it was big for our team to win this way.Rivers threw three touchdown passes and engineered the winning drive to give San Diego (5-1) its fifth straight win and send Oakland (0-5) to its 11th straight loss, matching the teams longest losing streak since 1962.Rookie Derek Carr threw four touchdown passes for the Raiders. His last scoring play, a 6-yarder to Andre Holmes with 10:01 left, gave Oakland a 28-21 lead.But Rivers answered with a pair of scoring drives and Carr was intercepted by Verrett with 1:13 to play.Its a surreal moment, man, said Verrett, who grew up cheering for the Raiders in the Bay Area and has a brother who works for the team. Thats all I can say. Im blessed. Just thankful I could make the play.Carr took a deep shot for Brice Butler with the Raiders facing second-and-1 from the San Diego 45, needing just a few more yards to get into range for a potential tying field goal.Carr said he didnt regret the decision to take a deep shot.He made a great play, Carr said. Brice went up, he had it and the guy made a great play. Those things are going to happen. Yeah, it hurts. It hurts because thats the way it ended.Oliver, an undrafted rookie out of Buffalo, ran for 101 yards to complement another strong performance by Rivers, who threw for 313 yards and posted a 120 passer rating for a record fifth straight game.Carr threw for 283 yards in his best game of his rookie season and could have had a lot more if not for several drops by his receivers.His best throw might have been his last TD, when he rolled to his right and patiently waited for Holmes to break open in the back of the end zone.But it wasnt enough to give the Raiders the win. Alex Collins Jersey. We have to be in these kinds of football games, Sparano said. We have to win one of these types of football games and thats how you get this thing turned around.Rivers took over after that, leading San Diego on a pair of scoring drives starting with a 30-yard field goal by Nick Novak.After the Raiders went three-and-out for the second time all game, Rivers got the ball at the Oakland 39 with 4:43 to go and calmly led the Chargers downfield to set up Olivers winning run.Im the type of guy that, if you keep giving me the ball, I feel like I get stronger as the game goes, Oliver said.Sparano talked this week after replacing the fired Dennis Allen of ending a pattern of Oakland beating Oakland, and the Raiders used San Diegos mistakes to take the lead in the third quarter.The Chargers committed three penalties on one drive, including a hold on Ladarius Green that negated Novaks 54-yard field goal.Instead of punting on fourth-and-35, up back Eric Weddle decided to try a fake but threw an incompletion intended for Seyi Ajirotutu.Oakland took advantage of the good field position to take the lead on Carrs 47-yard TD pass to Butler that put the Raiders up 21-14 for their first second-half lead since last Thanksgiving in Dallas.Rivers answered with a 1-yarder to Antonio Gates for his third TD pass late in the third, setting the stage for the dramatic fourth quarter.Carr threw a 77-yard touchdown pass to Holmes in the opening minute and he and Rivers each had two scoring throws to send the game to halftime tied at 14.Oakland missed a chance for a halftime lead when Sebastian Janikowski was wide left on a 53-yard field goal try on the final play.NOTES: Carrs first TD pass to Holmes was the longest scoring throw for the Raiders since JaMarcus Russell and Zach Miller connected on an 86-yarder on Oct. 10, 2009. ... Rivers became the fifth QB to throw for 4,000 yards in his career against the Raiders, joining John Elway, Dan Fouts, John Hadl and Dave Kreig.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Baseball Orioles Jerseys Red Sox Jerseys For Sale Cheap Baseball Yankees Jerseys Wholesale MLB Rays Jerseys Cheap Baseball Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Baseball White Sox Jerseys Cheap Baseball Indians Jerseys Cheap Baseball Tigers Jerseys Cheap Baseball Astros Jerseys Angels Jerseys For Sale Cheap Baseball Athletics Jerseys Cheap Baseball Mariners Jerseys Rangers Jerseys From China Cheap Baseball Braves Jerseys Cheap Baseball Marlins Jerseys Wholesale MLB Mets Jerseys Discount Phillies Jerseys Online Cheap Baseball Nationals Jerseys Cheap Baseball Cubs Jerseys Cheap Baseball Reds Jerseys Cheap Baseball Brewers Jerseys Cheap Baseball Pirates Jerseys Cheap Baseball Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Baseball Diamondbacks Jerseys Cheap Baseball Rockies Jerseys Cheap Baseball Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Baseball Padres Jerseys Cheap Baseball Giants Jerseys ' ' '
