RALEIGH Authentic Jaccob Slavin Jersey , N.C. (AP) Bill Peters has not been able to lead the Carolina Hurricanes back to the NHL playoffs and after coming up short following his fourth season with the club, announced Friday that he is resigning.”I feel like this is a good time to move on,” Peters said in a statement issued by the team, ”and I am looking forward to my next challenge.”Peters went 137-138-53 in his lone head coaching job in the NHL. He had one season left on the contract extension he signed in 2016.New team owner Tom Dundon said he has ”a lot of respect for Bill as a person and coach.”The move leaves the Hurricanes looking for a new general manager and head coach. Hall of Fame player Ron Francis was reassigned to another front-office position during the season.”I feel the incoming general manager should have the ability to hire his own head coach,” said Peters, who was hired by Francis in 2014.The 53-year-old Peters figures to be a candidate for other openings around the league – including a team in his home province.The Calgary Flames fired Glen Gulutzan earlier this week after missing the playoffs in his second season. Peters is a native of Three Hills Jordan Staal Jersey , Alberta, who played college hockey in that province at Red Deer College under coach Mike Babcock – who eventually hired him as an assistant with the Detroit Red Wings.Peters left the Red Wings’ staff four years ago to take his first NHL head coaching job with Carolina, but was unable to end the team’s playoff drought, which at nine years is one of the longest in NHL history.The Hurricanes have made the postseason just once since winning the Stanley Cup in 2006, and just twice in 15 seasons. This will be their third coaching change since their last playoff appearance in 2009.Expected to be a playoff team this season, Carolina finished 14 points out of a postseason spot and in sixth place in the eight-team Metropolitan Division.There’s been plenty of change over the past four months for the Hurricanes Womens Justin Faulk Jersey , who will have turnover in three key spots on the organizational roster.Longtime owner Peter Karmanos Jr. sold the majority interest in the team to Dundon in January, and the Dallas billionaire shook things up when he reassigned Francis to the role of president of hockey operations. The new GM will report directly to Dundon.Peters’ frustration became evident following a critical 3-1 loss to San Jose in February that cost them a chance to move into playoff position. After that game, Peters called his team out, repeatedly using the word ”disappointing” while promising lineup changes that ultimately never came.— TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tyler Johnson admitted the Lightning didn’t have their best game. But his late goal and another strong outing by Andrei Vasilevskiy helped ensure another Tampa Bay victory.Vasilveksiy made 35 saves, Johnson broke a tie with 1:26 left Minnesota Wild T-Shirts Womens , and the Lighting beat the New York Islanders 4-2 on Thursday night.“It’s not always going to be pretty,” Johnson said. “Good teams find ways to win. It’s important that’s the end result. I guess we did just enough.”Vasilevskiy has allowed two or fewer goals in nine of 12 games.Johnson scored from just outside the crease off a pass from Nikita Kucherov. Steven Stamkos added an empty-netter.“Kuch just found me backdoor,” Johnson said. “I was just in the right spot at the right time.”Tampa Bay, with the NHL’s best record at 12-3-1, also got goals from Mathieu Joseph and J.T. Miller.The Lightning are 8-0-0 against the Eastern Conference.Josh Bailey scored twice and Robin Lehner stopped 23 shots for the Islanders. They had a seven-game (5-0-2) points streak end.“I felt we should have got a point,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said. “When you’re into the last minute against a very good team Chris Terry Jersey Womens , you’ve got make sure, let’s get the point for sure, maybe two.”The Islanders pulled even at 2 on Bailey’s in-close goal at 8:43 of the third.After Joseph scored at 5:58 of the second, Mikhail Sergachev skated in from the blue line and set up Miller’s goal with a pass through the slot that put Tampa Bay up 2-1 with 8:48 left in the period.“They’re hard to contain,” Trotz said.Bailey opened the scoring 3:40 into the first with a spin move while being challenged by Tampa Bay defenseman Anton Stralman in the low slot.Vasilevskiy made a pad save on Casey Cizikas‘ low slot rebound, and soon after stopped Johnny Boychuk’s low right circle shot and froze the puck with his glove near the goal line 14 minutes in the second.New York went 0 for 5 on the power play Nick Foligno Jersey , including a two-man advantage for just under a minute to start the third.“We could have been up one or two with the 5-on-3,” Islanders center Mathew Barzal said.Tampa Bay didn’t score on four power-play chances.Barzal assisted on Bailey’s second goal and needs two points in his next game to reach 100 in his first 100 NHL games. The only players to achieve the feat when starting their career with the Islanders are Mike Bossy (79 games) and Bryan Trottier (93 games).NOTES: Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said C Brayden Point was OK after getting shaken up in the third period. … Lightning RW Ryan Callahan took part in a ceremony puck drop with Medal of Honor recipient Gary Beikirch on Military Appreciation Night.
