WINNIPEG -- Tyler Seguin was relieved he and Dallas Stars teammate Jamie Benn finally had something good in common on Saturday afternoon. Tim Wright Buccaneers Jersey . The pair ended pointless droughts when they each scored two goals in a 6-4 victory over the Winnipeg Jets that halted a two-game losing skid for the Stars (15-11-5). "I feel like I got my monkey off my back with him getting a couple," said Seguin, who also had a pair of assists. "Its nice to see. Sometimes things just arent going in, but he made some great shots tonight and stepped out at the right time." Seguin and Benn had been held pointless in their two previous games -- losses to Nashville and Chicago -- but Benn hadnt scored a goal since Nov. 14. Benn pretended to throw a monkey off his back after he finally scored his eighth goal of the season at 13:46 of the second period to give the Stars a 3-2 lead. Sergei Gonchar was a big help, tallying a career-high four assists. Rookie Valeri Nichushkin scored a goal. Centre Colton Sceviour netted his first NHL goal in his first game this season for the Stars, who only have four wins in their last 10 games. Kari Lehtonen, playing his 200th game for the Stars and 404th career NHL game, stopped 34 of the 38 shots he faced. Blake Wheeler had a pair of goals, Matt Halischuk also scored and Olli Jokinen added a goal and assist for Winnipeg (14-15-5), which is now winless in its last six home games. Their last victory at MTS Centre was Nov. 15 in a 3-2 shootout against Philadelphia. Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec was replaced by Al Montoya to start the third period. Pavelec stopped 19 of the 24 shots he faced. Montoya made seven saves on eight shots. Going into the game, Winnipeg, Dallas and Nashville were tied with 33 points at the bottom of the Central Division. However, Winnipeg has played three more games than Dallas and one more than the Predators, who host San Jose Saturday night. Winnipeg is now 3-11-3 against division opponents, while Dallass mark is 3-6-3. The Stars led 2-1 after the first period and 5-3 after the second on late power-play goals by Benn and Seguin one minute and three seconds apart. The goals were scored while Jets winger Anthony Peluso was off for a boarding major and a game misconduct. Peluso had hit defenceman Alex Goligoski into the boards. Goligoski left the ice with a towel against his right eye, but returned to the game. Dallas coach Lindy Ruff was far from impressed with the hit. "I thought the Peluso hit was a joke," Ruff said. "For a guy that plays that amount of time and runs a guy like Goligoski from behind. What does he play, three, four minutes a game? And hes going to run Goligoski from behind? Go run one of our bigger guys. "It was gutsy (of Goligoski) to come back. I mean, (he) cut him open. These are the hits we want to get rid of. I mean, lets get serious." Jets coach Claude Noel didnt have much to say about Pelusos hit. "Anytime you take a five-minute major, its never a good situation," Noel said. "It put us in a tough situation, especially (when) they scored two goals in there." He also pointed to two bad lines changes his team made that led to Seguin and Nichushkin being able to go in alone and score on Pavelec. Basically, his team didnt play "intelligent," Noel said. Wheelers goals tied the game 2-2 and 3-3, but his frustration spilled out after the loss. "What I say doesnt matter. Its what you do out on the ice," Wheeler said. "You can blow smoke as much as you want in the media. Weve been blowing smoke for three years, everyone, myself. "Everyone thats stood in front of the microphone the last three years, theyve said the same (stuff). What do you want me to say? Thats about it. I dont know what else to say." But he did elaborate when asked where the game turned. "In the first period, we were terrible and thats inexcusable," Wheeler said. And even though they fought back and were down 5-3 heading into the third, the Jets gave up two-on-ones and breakaways, he noted. "Its embarrassing," Wheeler said. "Its just no respect for each other. (Montoya) goes in there, hes cold, and thats what we do? "Its like, you just cant believe it." Jokinen finished the scoring at 18:19 when he got a stick on a rebound in traffic in front of the net.

It was official.HAMILTON, New Zealand -- The Chiefs retained the Super Rugby title after scoring two second-half tries to come from behind to beat the ACT Brumbies 27-22 in the final on Saturday. Backrower Liam Messam scored a 62nd-minute try and fullback Robbie Robinson added another six minutes later as the Chiefs came from 22-12 down to edge out the Brumbies, who were attempting to win their third Super Rugby crown and first in nine years. Wallabies inside centre Christian Lealiifano scored a try, added the conversion and kicked five penalties to score all of the Brumbies points, guiding them to a 16-9 lead at halftime. But the Brumbies wilted in the last quarter after having played in South Africa in the semifinals last weekend, and the Chiefs became the first back-to-back champions since the Bulls in 2010. The Chiefs played poorly in the first half in the face of a strong, composed and well-organized Brumbies team, which was well prepared by 2007 World Cup-winning Springboks coach Jake White. Though they travelled more than 23,000 kilometres in the two weeks before the match, the Brumbies looked sharp and energetic until the final minutes of the match. Lealiifanos converted try in the last moments of the first half gave the Brumbies a deserved halftime lead, and they were still the better, more constructive team through the first 20 minutes of the second spell. The Chiefs were plagued by errors and struggled to develop the momentum they needed to strongly press the Brumbies defence. But again, in the statistical keynote to their season, they managed to score tries even when deprived of a steady supply of possession. No team in the competition had less ball throughout the season and none scored more tries. Messam, from an attacking scrum, then Robinson from an opportunistic midfield break, scored tries that turned the match in the Chiefs favour. The champions edged ahead with Aaron Crudens conversion of Robinsons try, then made their lead five points with another penalty to Cruden eight minutes from fulltime. That was just enough to allow them to hold out the Brumbies frantic finish and set up a cacophony of cow bells, the instruments with which fans in this dairy farming region signal their approval. "It was tough," said Messam, the Chiefs co-captain who won the man-of-the-match award. "We had to grind it out and really play for 80 minutes. The Brumbies really took it to us, and I was proud of the boys that we didnt get frustrated and managed to get the win. "They frustrate the heck out of you and get points. We needed cool heads going into the second half, and we came home strong." Lealliifano scored the first points in the fifth minute after flanker Peter Kimlin broke strongly out of defence on a long run that forced the Chiefs to scramble back in defence. Gerald McCoy Womens Jersey. Lealiifano added another more testing penalty two minutes later from 35 metres and a wide angle. Cruden missed a chance to reduce the margin from a penalty in the 19th minute, and Lealiifano soon kicked his third goal. "They matched us tonight and congratulations to them," Lealiifano said. "I was hoping (the Brumbies try) would be a bit of a match-turner. "But the Chiefs came back and kept fighting and fighting and the same with our boys. We stuck in their right to the end, but just couldnt come up with the result." Cruden kicked penalties in the 23rd, 26th and 32nd minutes to bring the teams level at 9-9 only 12 minutes after the Brumbies had enjoyed a 9-0 lead. From a Chiefs lineout in the 39th minute, Lealiifano swept onto a loose pass, claimed an intercept and dashed more than 30 metres through tattered defence to score a try that was upheld on review. After halftime, Lealiifano kicked his fourth penalty and fifth goal of the night to make the score 19-9. Cruden replied almost immediately, adding his fourth penalty but the Chiefs remained largely rudderless. The Brumbies attacked strongly and winger Clive Rathbone sawed through the Chiefs defence after seizing a short kick by Jesse Mogg in the 54th. Rathbone was brought down a meter from the line and, though the Brumbies carried the ball over the line from an ensuing ruck, they were unable to ground the ball. They led 22-12 after Lealifano kicked his fifth penalty. Then the Chiefs rally began. They wheeled an attacking scrum and Messam dashed drove low though the Brumbies goal-line defence for a try that cut the lead to 22-17. Six minutes later, Bundee Aki broke through the defence with a strong midfield run. He was brought down just inside the 22 but the Chiefs quickly won the ball and moved it for Robinson to weave through and score. Cruden converted to give the Chiefs their first lead of the match at 24-22. He added a penalty - his sixth goal from 10 attempts - two minutes later to make the lead 27-22. The Brumbies needed to score a try to win the match and, though they tried desperately they were held out by tenacious Chiefs defence. "Were extremely proud of this group," Brumbies captain Ben Mowen said. "One thing that has been evident right from the start is that every challenge you put in front of them, they take it head on. "Although we fell short, we fell short to a very good Chiefs side." ' ' '
