NEW YORK -- Dan Girardi returned to the lineup and made himself the difference with one big third-period shot.Girardi scored 1:55 into the final period, lifting the New York Rangers over the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Sunday night.The goal was the first of the season for Girardi. He put the Rangers up for good with a slap shot from the right point.I just buried my head and tried to shoot as hard as I can at the net, Girardi said. Good things happen when you put pucks on net.The veteran was paired with rookie Brady Skjei in his first game after missing New Yorks previous three with a strained groin, and Skjei assisted on the goal.New York was playing for the second straight night after winning 4-2 at Washington on Saturday.The leadership group was trying to preach to the young guys that we (had) a huge win in Washington (but) it means nothing if you cant back it up with a win tonight, Girardi said. We stuck with it and found a way to get two points.Josh Jooris and J.T. Miller also scored for the Rangers, who have 12 players with at least one goal this season and 20 players with at least one point.Henrik Lundqvist made 27 stops for New York.Radim Vrbata had both of Arizonas goals, and Louis Domingue made 23 saves. The Coyotes have lost their first four games on a six-game trip since beating Philadelphia in overtime at home to start the season.We are learning it is not easy to win in this league, Vrbata said. Every mistake we make seems to wind up in our net.Vrbata opened the scoring 33 seconds in by deflecting Connor Murphys shot from the right point past Lundqvist.For the most part there were some real good parts to our game, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. But good parts to your game doesnt get you a win. We need to find ways to win.Jooris got his first goal with the Rangers with 7:47 left in the first. He jammed a puck under Domingue while being knocked to the ice by Lawson Crouse.New York took its first lead 5:45 into the second when Miller scored his second of the season. With the Rangers on a power play, Miller cut to the net and deflected Ryan McDonaghs slap shot past Domingue for a 2-1 advantage.These points still count at the end of the day, Miller said. We did a good job of hanging on and just finding a way to get two (points).Vrbata made it 2-2 with 3:42 left in the second.Its nice to see pucks go in, thats for sure, Vrbata said. Ill take anything.Game notes Prior to the game, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault announced Girardi would replace D Adam Clendening in the lineup.

Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked.West Indies qualified for the semi-finals of the 2016 World T20, beating South Africa by three wickets with just two balls to spare in a thrilling contest in Nagpur. Marlon Samuels hit a run-a-ball 44 that seemed to be taking the West Indies to victory, chasing 123, but the West Indies lost wickets at regular intervals and when Imran Tahir (2-13) took two wickets in two balls in the 17th over, the match seemed to have swung in South Africas favour.Samuels himself fell in the penultimate over, with 10 still needed from seven to win, but Carlos Brathwaite (10no) smashed a huge six over midwicket off the second ball of Kagiso Rabadas final over as the West Indies ultimately got home.Chris Gayle starred but with the ball, his 2-17 helping restrict South Africa to 122-8 and bettering his two-ball stay at the crease with the bat. West Indies Chris Gayle (left) celebrates after dismissing Rilee Rossouw South Africa were 47-5 at one stage, with Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis, Rilee Roussow, AB de Villiers and David Miller all dismissed for 10 or fewer, after West Indies won the toss and elected to field first.Amla was run out third ball and it quickly got worse for South Africa as skipper Du Plessis picked out Sulieman Benn at mid-off off Andre Russell (2-2, and Gayle grabbed the wicket of Rossouw, in the second and third overs.Dwayne Bravo (2-20) then picked up the key wicket of De Villiers, for 10, and Gayle added the scalp of Miller, both bowled. Quinton de Kock (47) continued his fine form, putting on 50 for the sixth wicket with David Wiese (2 to somewhat recover things, but just as the former was nearing his own personal half century, he too was bowled, round his legs byy Russell.ddddddddddddChris Morris (16no) struck Samuel Badree for back-to-back boundaries in the 17th over, but only 14 runs were added in the final three as South Africa continued to lose wickets.There was a glimmer of hope for South Africa when, after hitting his first ball for four, Gayle was bowled by a beauty from Rabada (1-3 that just clipped his off-stump.A brilliant throw from Rossouw at point accounted for Andre Fletcher, run out by a direct hit in the sixth over, but Johnson Charles (32) and Samuels batted sensibly, putting on 32 for the third wicket. Gayle was bowled after scoring just four runs Charles launched Aaron Phangiso for a 106-metre six over midwicket in the 11th over as West Indies seemed to be cruising, only for Charles to fall to a top-edge when attempting the same shot off Wiese (1-19) three balls later.Bravo was next to gift his wicket away an over after he and Samuels took 14 off Rabada, slapping Phangiso (1-19) straight to point, before Tahirs heroics in the 17th.Tahir started the over by dropping Samuels, but made up for it with the double-strike of Russell and Darren Sammy, bowled by his googly.With 20 needed from the final two overs, Samuels struck Morris for two fours before falling later in the over to a top-edge, but Brathwaite secured the win in the last, a result that means if England beat Sri Lanka on Saturday they too guarantee themselves a semi-final spot.Watch highlights of West Indies win over South Africa at 7.30pm and 9.30pm on Sky Sports 2.Then join us for live coverage of Englands Group 1 game with Sri Lanka from 1.30pm on Sky Sports 2 on Saturday, following New Zealands clash with Bangladesh at 9am.
