I spoke to one or two other people, but when I spoke to Lee, I understood straight away how keen he was to join us.Left-back Hughes, 24, has signed a two-year deal after ending his 10-year stay at Newport. He had made nearly 150 appearances for the Welsh club.Andrew is a good player and he will definitely be threatening the starting line-up this coming season, said McCann.He has played a lot of games in the Football League, he played the last 30 games last season and was very good.Centre-half Tafazolli has put pen to paper on a three-year contract after turning down a new deal at Mansfield.Ryan is a super player, McCann added. He has won a lot of awards for his performances at Mansfield both this season and last and he will be a threat in both boxes.Posh have also confirmed the return of Ben Mackenzie as the clubs new head of sports science to work with Neal Lattimore.Also See:Peterborough videoPeterborough fixturesPeterborough statsWholesale Blue Jays Jerseys .

Tom Wilson sealed the win by scoring into an empty net with 52 seconds remaining.That was one of our best games of the year, obviously, said Holtby, who was rarely tested in his 25th career shutout.Ovechkins goal was his first in eight games, a wrist shot from the left circle at 13:46 of the opening period. He became the 18th player in NHL history with 200 career power-play goals.It was his 13th goal of the season, the first since he completed a hat trick the night before Thanksgiving.Obviously Ive been in this situation before. I just have to fight through it and maybe get a lucky one on the power play, Ovechkin said. Right now the most important thing (is) we get two points. It doesnt matter who scores, whos not scoring.And reaching 200 power-play goals?Its big number, obviously, he said.On the other end of the ice, Holtby and Washingtons defense teamed to kill Vancouvers five power plays.We were really strong tonight, using each other on the ice to clear pucks, making it very tough on them to enter the zone, Holtby said. Thats the signs of a penalty kill thats working together and on the same page. It was phenomenal tonight.The Canucks were playing their second game in less than 24 hours and fourth in six days. Vancouver hastily traveled up the East Coast after losing to the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.I think the schedule got to Vancouver a little bit, Capitals coach Barrry Trotz said.dddddddddddd They had a real good push in the first (period) and we sort of just started to overwhelm them as the game went on.Vancouver kept it close but simply couldnt find a way to put the puck past Holtby, who has two shutouts this season.We kept it a one-goal game into the third, but overall they were better than us, said Canucks center Henrik Sedin, who dismissed the notion that the team was tired.The most frustrating part is our power play, he said.Jacob Markstrom started in goal for veteran Ryan Miller, who missed a second straight game with an undisclosed injury.The 6-foot-6 Markstrom had 38 saves against Florida and followed it up with another solid performance, stopping 26 shots by Washington. But he received no help from an attack that has been blanked five times this season.Its just tough right now. Weve got to come together as a group, Markstrom said. I felt really good before the game today. Its frustrating. You want to help the team to win.Game notesWashington swept the two-game season series and has won four straight over Vancouver. ...
