It was Galchenyuks ninth goal.Pricey makes the great save, and I just took off, because I knew Rads would get me the puck, Galchenyuk said. He made a great pass, and I was just trying to keep the shot down. I didnt want to shoot over the bar.The Red Wings won 5-4 in New Jersey on Friday night in overtime.Its always tough but hey, listen, weve caught a lot of teams on back-to-backs in here.

Zack Steffen USA Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Derrius Guice showed Saturday night that LSU is in good hands next season if his star backfield teammate, Leonard Fournette, departs early for the NFL.Well, good feet, actually.The Tigers up-and-coming sophomore rushed for a career-high 252 yards on 21 carries in a 38-10 win over Arkansas. And he capped the remarkable performance with a 96-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, the longest play from scrimmage in school history.The previous long run was 94 yards by both Sal Nicoio in 1952 and Jesse Fatheree in 1935, while the longest pass play was also 94 yards -- from Anthony Jennings to Travin Dural in 2014.Guice only had two carries for eight yards a week earlier in a 10-0 loss to top-ranked Alabama, something Tigers coach Ed Orgeron was intent on changing against the Razorbacks. Orgerons belief in the sophomore paid off, with Guice gaining the second most rushing yards in school history -- behind only Fournettes 284-yard performance against Mississippi earlier this season.Guice even got more carries than Fournette on Saturday, and the shifty 5-foot-11, 212-pound running back is likely to be considered more of co-lead in LSUs backfield from here on out.He clearly has the sense of humor to handle the spotlight.The play before (the 96-yard run), I purposely got a run for a loss to get that run, Guice joked. I set it up.Some other notable performances from across the country as college footballs regular season enters its final weeks:AIR WATSON: Clemsons run of success in close games came to an end in a 43-42 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday night.

Junior Mike Williams finished with career highs in both catches (15) and receiving yards (202), and the wide receiver now has 67 catches for 956 yards.JONES WATCH: East Carolina wide receiver Zay Jones settled for a marginal game by his 2016 standards on Saturday, catching 12 passes for 173 yards in a 55-31 loss to SMU. Still, the senior is well on pace to break the FBS record for career catches when the Pirates host Navy next week. Jones, who leads the country with 139 receptions this season, currently has 380 catches for his career -- seven away from the record 387 by former teammate Justin Hardy.DIMICKS DAY: Utah defensive end Hunter Dimick took over the national lead with 12 sacks thanks to a school-record five sacks in a 49-26 win over Arizona State on Thursday.
