PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins have insisted during their extensive front office overhaul that the on-ice product doesnt need to change much for the franchise to return to the NHLs elite. Lamar Jackson Ravens Jersey . Small tweaks, not big ones, are required. Mike Johnstons job is to figure out which ones to make and -- perhaps even more importantly -- how to make them work. The Penguins hired the well-travelled Johnston to replace Dan Bylsma on Wednesday, charging the hockey lifer with creating the right system for stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to thrive in both the regular season and beyond. Considering the talent at his disposal, the 57-year-old Johnston likes his chances. After spending the last six years with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League preaching an uptempo attack, Johnston welcomes the opportunity to work with one of the most explosive offences in the NHL. "The core group is exactly where I want it," Johnston said. Good, because theyre not going anywhere. Instead, its everything around Malkin and Crosby -- who earned his second Hart Trophy as the NHLs Most Valuable Player on Tuesday -- that is changing. Johnstons hiring ends a tumultuous six weeks in which the Penguins were bounced from the Eastern Conference semifinals by the New York Rangers after blowing a 3-1 lead, fired Bylsma and general manager Ray Shero, and brought in longtime Carolina Hurricanes executive Jim Rutherford to clean up the mess. Rutherford settled on Johnston after a lengthy interview process that included an ill-fated run at Willie Desjardins, who opted to take the vacant job in Vancouver. Regardless of the path taken, Rutherford is confident he ended up at the right destination. "I feel very strongly that weve got the right coach," Rutherford said. One whose success will depend on his ability to take Pittsburgh on extended playoff runs. Bylsma won more games than any coach in club history but was fired on June 6 after going just 4-5 in post-season series since leading the Penguins to the 2009 Stanley Cup title. Johnston understands the onus to win on a given night, but stressed the focus will be on preparing Pittsburgh for the challenges of hockey in May and June, not October or November. "The bottom-line expectation for me is that, from training camp through the first part of the season, everything we do is setting the table for the playoffs," Johnston said. "The score is relevant but its not as relevant as the habits that we are going to have to make us successful in the playoffs." Pittsburgh is Johnstons first NHL head coaching job, though he spent two previous stints as an assistant with Vancouver and the Los Angeles Kings. He said he has a bit to learn about the challenges of an 82-game NHL season, which is one of the reasons the Penguins also brought in Rick Tocchet to serve as Johnstons top assistant. Tocchet played 18 years in the NHL, including two seasons in Pittsburgh, where the four-time All-Star helped the Penguins win their second Stanley Cup championship in 1992. The 50-year-old Tocchet also spent more than a season as the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning from 2008-10. While Tocchet said that his old team has underachieved in recent springs, he doesnt see that as a stumbling block. "There are teams that wish they had (Pittsburghs) problems," Tocchet said. "The way Mike is going to coach this team, the way these guys play is high tempo. Its something guys are going to enjoy." Tocchet replaces Todd Reirden and Tony Granato, holdovers from Bylsmas staff who were let go on Wednesday. The Penguins retained goaltending coach Mike Bales and video co-ordinator Andy Saucier. Assistant coach Jacques Martin will also remain with the team in an undetermined capacity. Johnston is hardly a novice when it comes to dealing with pressure or highly skilled players. He was a part of Canadas coaching staff at the 1998 Winter Olympics, the first Games in which NHL players were allowed to compete. It led to nearly a decade as an assistant with Vancouver (1999-2006) and the Kings (2006-0Cool before he landed in Portland, where he spent six years helping young players navigate the choppy waters of professional life. The seas will be only more tumultuous in one of the NHLs most high-profile jobs. Johnston is OK with the pressure. With the 26-year-old Crosby and the 27-year-old Malkin in the midst of their primes, there are worst places to start. "This group wants to win," he said. "Theyve won the Stanley Cup, and I believe they want to do it again." Hayden Hurst Ravens Jersey . JOHNS, N. Anthony Averett Ravens Jersey . Off-Season Game Plan looks at what the Blue Jackets may do to build upon last seasons success to return to the playoffs again next year. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Robert-Griffin-Iii-Jersey/ . It will mark the 22nd time the tournament has been held in this country and fourth in Atlanta Canada but will make its first appearance ever in played Nova Scotia.Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - After coming back from a three-goal deficit, the Chicago Blackhawks needed another tying goal with less than two minutes left in regulation in their 5-4 shootout win over the Nashville Predators. Brad Richards, Andrew Shaw and Marian Hossa all scored for Chicago in a span of seven minutes to erase Nashvilles 3-0 lead. Trailing 4-3 with the goaltender pulled, Bryan Bickell tied the game to send it to overtime. Jonathan Toews scored the lone goal of the shootout and Corey Crawford stopped all three Nashville attempts to help the Blackhawks win for the third time in their last four games. Crawford turned aside 36-of-40 shots in regulation and overtime. James Neal scored a pair of goals for Nashville, which had won four of its previous five games. Roman Josi and Craig Smith potted the other two Predators goals and Pekka Rinne allowed four goals on 42 shots. Down 3-0, Richards set up on the faceoff dot to Rinnes right. Kris Versteeg hit him with a pass from below the goal line and Richards fired a one-timer into the back of the net to begin the comeback. I thought we had a great start, and I thought we played strong throughout, said Neal. We ran into a little penalty trouble, and theyve got a great power play. Just five minutes later, Shaw kept the Chicago cycle alive despite losing his stick earlier in the shift. He recovered the stick and his hard work paid off when he was able to tuck the rebound of Patrick Sharps shot past Rinne to get Chicago within one. Mattias Ekholms holding penalty with two players already in the box gave the Blackhawks a 4-on-3 power play. Hossa was able to create a clear shooting lane and fired a one-timer to tie the game less than two minutes after Shaws goal. With less than a minute remaining in the second period, the Predators found an answer for Chicagos momentum. Kenny Young Ravens Jersey. Just seven seconds into a power play, Neal was in the right place at the right time to hammer home a big rebound off a Mike Fisher shot. Still trailing 4-3 with less than 1 1/2 minutes remaining in regulation, the Blackhawks pulled Crawford in favor of the extra attacker. Rinne had trouble handling a David Rundblad shot, and Bickell pounced on the rebound and put it past Rinne for the equalizer. Weve been in a lot of situations over the years where we know that were never out of it, said Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith. Colin Wilson had one of the best chances in overtime as his wrist shot in transition went off Crawfords mask. After Crawford stopped Ryan Ellis backhand attempt, Toews wristed the puck by Rinne to give the Blackhawks a 1-0 edge in the shootout. Rinne would make a save on Patrick Kanes shot, but Crawfords stops of Smith and Filip Forsberg won the game. Josi put the Predators on top after a Chicago power play expired. He jumped into the rush while the Blackhawks defense was caught puck watching. After receiving a pass from Paul Gaustad, he wristed the puck by Crawford. Smiths power-play goal just over four minutes later added to the Predators lead. Mike Ribeiro passed to Wilson, who was parked next to the net. Crawford made the initial save on Wilsons shot but was unable to stop Smith on the rebound. Nashville went up 3-0 in the second when a shot on goal caromed off Johnny Oduya into his own net. Neal was given credit for the goal. Game Notes Wilson has four goals and three assists in a four-game point streak ... Predators defenseman Shea Weber had his five-game assist streak come to an end ... Sharp scored his 500th NHL point in his 700th NHL game ... Ribeiro played in his 900th NHL game.
