  OTTAWA - Curtis Lazar doesnt need to score goals to make an impact. [b]Wholesale Athletics Jerseys[/b] .Lazar didnt pick up a single point in Canadas 5-2 win over Sweden Sunday night in World Junior exhibition play, but there was no denying his impact.The 19-year-old Lazar — the oldest player on the roster by a matter of days — is on loan from the Ottawa Senators for the tournament. Having NHL experience means big things are expected from him both on and off the ice.After three months in the NHL I think hes seen a lot and hes seen many older guys in the NHL doing certain things, said Canadas coach Benoit Groulx. You can tell maturity speaks in his case.Lazar joined the team late Friday, but Groulx says he has already made an impact.Hes loud on the bench, said Groulx. He likes to communicate with his teammates, likes to cheer for them, likes to tell them about positioning and stuff like that. It comes naturally for him obviously and a good hockey club needs that.Canada looked good Sunday night, getting goals from five different skaters.Max Domi, Josh Morrissey, Anthony Duclair, Shea Theodore and Sam Reinhart scored for Canada while Eric Comrie made 17 saves.Gustav Forsling and William Nylander had goals for Sweden, which got a 28-save performance from Samuel Ward.This was Canadas first game since finalizing its roster for the IIHF World Junior Championship on Saturday. The tournament gets underway Dec. 26 with Canada taking on Slovakia in Montreal.The game also marked Connor McDavids first taste of action since he suffered a broken bone in his right hand on Nov. 11. It was Lazars first game since being loaned to the team.The duo played together with Nick Ritchie and while they didnt score, they did create a number of solid scoring chances.Much was made of McDavids return to action. While the 17-year-old showed some signs of rust, Groulx noted that he improved as the game went on.He showed some good things out there, showed speed and he went by a couple of defencemen to take pucks to the net, said Groulx. I think he had a great second half of the game and its good to see him back playing his style after such a long time being sidelined.McDavid said he felt pretty good and felt he and his linemates were able to create some good chances.It was nice, said McDavid. You never really want to be off and watching. Its never a lot of fun. To be back in game action was a lot of fun.The trio of Domi, Duclair and Reinhart continue to display chemistry and were once again dangerous around the net as they combined for six points, including three goals.Its a short tournament and it gets going pretty quick so the sooner you can find (chemistry) the better it is, said Domi. For our line personally, were really close off the ice and do a lot of things together and we talk about certain plays in practice and we just keep working on that stuff.Leading 3-1 to start the third, Canada extended its lead on Theodores goal at the six-minute mark of the final period. Theodore picked up his own rebound and beat Ward glove side.Reinhart rounded out his lines scoring as he picked up a power-play goal midway through the period, beating Ward short side under the arm.Nylander, a Leafs prospect, made it 5-2 as he beat Comrie on a penalty shot late in the third period.After a strong start to the game, Canada didnt have a great second period, registering just three shots on goal.Sweden made it a 2-1 game early in the second on Forslings power-play goal, but Canada regained its two goal-lead on a goal by Duclair, who is on loan from the New York Rangers.Swedish coach Rikard Gronborg says getting the opportunity to play Canada is always a good test.We know we have a lot to learn and we definitely have to chip away on some stuff, said Gronborg. Definitely in the defensive zone we need to do better in front of our own net and thats stuff well focus on over the next couple days.Canada opened the scoring with a power-play goal two minutes into the first period as Domi banged home a rebound at the side of the net. Morrissey made it 2-0 midway through the period with a shot from the point.Canada plays its final exhibition game Tuesday against Switzerland. [b]Chris Bassitt Athletics Jersey[/b] . Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Keeping The Captain? Brian Giontas agent Steve Bartlett told La Presse on Tuesday that the Montreal Canadiens want to keep their captain - an unrestricted free agent on July 1 - in the fold, while sources tell the paper that the two sides will start talks this week. [b]Athletics Jerseys China[/b] . - Kobe Bryant and LeBron James traded hugs, big shots and verbal jabs all night with warmth and humour.WASHINGTON -- The first three times the Washington Wizards reached .500, they lost their next game. On Wednesday against Boston, the Wizards get their fourth shot at the break-even point, and they hope its the last time. "Its not a magical thing (where) I think all of a sudden fairy dust is going to fall on us if we get over .500 (and) were not going to lose another game," Washington coach Randy Wittman said. The Wizards havent been over .500 since Oct. 31, 2009, when they were 2-1. After their 107-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, they were in no mood to admit that it was always on their mind. Players shouted to each other to ignore questions about the mark, but none did. "Were aware of it, but we just have to not even think about it," Bradley Beal said. Beal nearly had his first career triple-double. Two days after he missed 12 of his 14 shots in a loss to Detroit, Beal had 22 points -- 13 of them in the second quarter when Washington built a 10-point halftime lead. He also had nine rebounds, a season high, and eight assists, equaling his career best. Marcin Gortat had 19 points and 11 rebounds. Kevin Seraphin had 16 points for Washington. John Wall added 14. Each time the Wizards reached .500 this season, their next game was at home, and they lost to Milwaukee, Dallas and Detroit. "Were done with that," Gortat said. "Every time we talk about being a .500 team and getting over .500, we have teams coming in here and just punking our butts." Michael Carter-Williams led Philadelphia, which has lost seven of eight, with 31. Thaddeus Young had 18. Spencer Hawes had 11 points and had a season high 16 rebounds. Carter-Williams and Young scored the first 19 Philadelphia points in the third, but the Sixers trailed 70-66 midway through the period. Washington led 86-73 after three. The Wizards were ahead 100-79 with 6:07 to play, but Philadelphia scored 13 straight to trail by eight with 2:26 left. Washington didnt make a field goal for more than eight minutes in the fourth quarter. Wittman substituted for his starters, but after the bench played poorlyy, the starters came back in to stabilize things. [b]Oakland Athletics Gear[/b]. "Youre always on audition," Wittman told his bench. "Those guys got to learn. Guys that want to play or think they should be in rotations better show me out there where it counts." While the Wizards are 20-20 and hope to reach the halfway point of their season a game over .500, the Sixers are 13-28. Expectations were low when the season began, but Philadelphia won its first three over Miami, Washington and Chicago. With more than three weeks until the league pauses for the All-Star game, coach Brett Brown is still hopeful his team can improve. "Youre getting ready for spring break, and everybodys going to Fort Lauderdale, and theres a time where you can dig in pre-All-Star break and finish this middle third of the season with some grunt," Brown said before the game. In his rookie season, Carter-Williams said it was hard to sometimes stay with it. "Ive never played this long of a season so Im learning each and every day and Im going through it a little bit. My body is tired a little bit, mentally Ive got to stay strong," Carter-Williams said. Carter-Williams was 13 for 22 from the field, had six rebounds and five assists as he tried to keep Philadelphia competitive. "He felt the need to take the game and try and put us back in a position where we could inch our way back in it, and he did," Brown said. NOTES: Wizards swingman Glen Rice was assigned to Iowa of the D-League. Rice had right wrist surgery last month, and coach Randy Wittman said that he needs some playing time and could return to the team during its upcoming four-game road trip, which begins on Friday. ... Sixers G Tony Wroten is out with a sprained right ankle. Brown refused to estimate how long he will be sidelined. Wroten sustained the injury on Saturday in Chicago. ... Philadelphia F Brandon Davies missed the game with a dislocated right pinkie. ... Washington F Trevor Booker was out with a sprained left ankle. ...
