SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- Maybe Bruce Boudreau was tired and cranky after his Minnesota Wild team concluded a five-game, 10-day road trip earlier in the week. But after his star goalie Devan Dubnyk, denied the Toronto Maple Leafs again and again in a 3-2 Wild win on Wednesday, Boudreau couldnt resist a subtle shot at the Canadian hockey media.If (Dubnyk) was in Toronto there would be no Carey Price, Boudreau said, nodding to the notion that players on Canadian teams get more attention than their American team counterparts. Im just saying, media-wise.Dubnyk has been Mr. Everything for the Wild all season, but especially recently, as the Wild went 2-2-1 on the long trip, and now come home to face an Edmonton team that may be getting a bit road weary as well. The Oilers lost in overtime to the Wild in Edmonton less than a week ago, and lost Thursday night in Philadelphia 6-5, after leading 5-3 in the third period and seeing it slip away.We had a number of leads in the game, Oilers coach Todd McLellan said Thursday night, before his team boarded a late-night flight to the Twin Cities. One of the things we didnt want to do is put them on the power play, and we put them on the power play continually.For the Edmonton players, the come-from-ahead losses are characteristics of a youthful team with talent, but still seeking ways to close.I think its a group, and were still trying to learn how to win games, said Oilers star forward Connor McDavid. We were doing a good job at it early. Theres definitely a certain talent to be able to win games and close them out. I think were still trying to figure that part out.The Oilers are concluding a three-game road trip of their own with back-to-back games, and come to Minnesota on a 0-1-2 streak, scoring plenty of goals, but not enough to keep up with opponents when the defense fails.We knew what we were getting into with a very good offensive team and for fractions of the game we played it properly, McLellan said, of the run-and-gun Flyers. For the rest of the game we tried to open it up and they got the best of us.Thats in stark contrast to how Boudreau has been running things with the Wild, if the win in Toronto is any evidence. Minnesota is getting just enough offense from players like Charlie Coyle and Eric Staal, getting leads, then turning things over to Dubnyk. On Wednesday, the Wild were out-shot 17-3 in the final 20 minutes, but managed to push that one-goal lead over the finish line and get home after a long, long time on the road.We held on, Boudreau said. We didnt do anything in the third period, but at the end of an 11-day trip, to win in a tough building is good. There wasnt a lot of celebrating in the room. They were just tired.Sounds like no matter the result on Friday, the Wild will be happy at home, and the Oilers will be happy to head home. Grady Jarrett Jersey .

BALTIMORE-- The Texas Rangers began using their newly-acquired players in the first game of their series with Baltimore on Tuesday, but the Orioles will start employing theirs when the two teams meet again Wednesday at Camden Yards.Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Tuesday that he will put Steve Pearce in the lineup with left-hander Cole Hamels (12-2, 2.84) going for Texas.Left-hander Wade Miley could be the starting pitcher for Baltimore on Thursday in the finale of this three-game series, but Showalter had not confirmed that after Tuesdays 5-1 victory which featured Dylan Bundy taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Pedro Alvarez homering twice.Pearce did not start or play Tuesday as Showalter wanted to give him a day to rest some small but nagging ailments.The Rangers played both catcher Jonathan Lucroy and designated hitter Carlos Beltran in the first game. Lucroy went 0-for-2 and scored the teams only run while Beltan was hitless in four at-bats.The new players had no problems helping the Rangers on the field in their first games.It was good to see the new guys get out there, Texas outfielder Ian Desmond said. Its fun to watch (Lucroy) behind the plate.The communication on the bench and stuff was really cool. Good additions, you can tell they fit in right away.Both teams entered this series in first place in their respective divisions. Baltimore has a slim lead over Toronto and Boston in the American League East while Texas leads Houston by 5 1/2 games in the West.Both teams made moves with the postseason in mind and the trades clearly made the teams that much better.TTheyre real good, Showalter said.ddddddddddddThey just got better, but you know what Were good, too.Tuesdays victory gave Showalter 518 since he started with the Orioles on Aug. 3, 2010. He passed Paul Richards and moved into second place on the teams all-time list for victories.The difference in these midseason acquisitions is that the Orioles were looking for pitching and bench help. Texas added to an already very strong lineup, something that manager Jeff Banister enjoyed putting together on Tuesday.It was fun, Banister said of coming up with the lineup. A lot of anticipation what it would look like. A lot of different things that can be done. Pitchers (have) got to choose which direction they want to go.That is what Baltimore right-hander Kevin Gausman must do in Wednesdays game. He is going through some growing pains this season; pitching well at times without getting much run support while struggling in other outings.Gausman comes into the game with a 2-8 record and a 4.18 ERA. He allowed three homers in the first inning of his last start at Toronto on Friday and allowed six runs on six hits in just three innings overall.Hamels, on other hand, has fared much better. The veteran left-hander is on a three-game winning streak and gave up two runs in eight innings during a 3-2 victory over Kansas City last Thursday.Hamels has been a big help to the Rangers, who have a 16-5 record when he starts. Since the All-Star break, Hamels is 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA.
