Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Tobias Rieder scored the game-winning goal in his NHL debut and the Arizona Coyotes held off a fierce Washington surge to snap a string of three straight losses with a 6-5 victory on Sunday. Shane Doan finished with two goals and an assist, Antoine Vermette supplied a goal and a helper and Sam Gagner and Mike Stone also scored for Arizona, which won its first road game of the season after starting out 0-4-1. Devan Dubnyk turned aside 32 shots in the win. Alex Ovechkin tallied a goal and three assists, Tom Wilson had a goal and an assist and Nicklas Backstrom contributed with three helpers for the Capitals, who have been outscored 8-2 in the third period during a four-game losing streak. Sometimes, I get the feeling we want to playing just as hard as we need to. And that is not how I operate. Thats not how you win in this league, said Washington coach Barry Trotz. We have good people in that room, he said. Good talent. You are going to go through some rough patches. You dont find out a lot when things are going really smooth. But you find out a lot and grow a lot when things arent going really smooth. Troy Brouwer, Joel Ward and John Carlson also scored, while Justin Peters allowed all six goals in defeat. After a battle along the boards in the corner, Gagner put the Coyotes ahead 3:05 into the third with a well-placed shot over the shoulder of Peters in tight for a 4-3 lead. The Coyotes added to their lead just over a minute later. Doan hopped on a loose puck after Ovechkin mishandled it near the blue line and snapped a shot over Peters glove. Doan entered the Capitals zone on a 2-on-1 with Rieder, who took a pass and wristed home a shot for a 6-3 advantage. In his first NHL game, he drew two penalties, scored a goal. Wasnt intimidated by the situation one bit, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said of Rieder. Thats what we saw in training camp. He is a good, young player who plays a smart game. Washington went on the power play and pulled the netminder. Ovechkin sent a pass to Ward in the slot. The puck tipped off Wards stick and the skate of an opposing defenseman before finding the back of the net with 1:53 to play. With the goalie pulled again, Ovechkin fired a shot wide and Brouwer was there to tap the puck into the wide-open net to cap the scoring with 27 seconds remaining. Vermette opened the scoring 7:14 into the first with a wrister on the power play. Washington answered with three straight first-period goals. Wilson tipped Ovechkins shot from the left point through his legs and over Dubnyks glove for a 1-1 game 49 seconds later. Backstrom took the puck up the right side and dished the puck to Carlson, who wristed a shot over the shoulder of Dubnyk to give Washington the lead close to the midway point. The Capitals padded their lead with a power-play marker. Mike Green dished the puck to Ovechkin, who blasted a shot past Dubnyk from the top of the left circle with 3:51 to play in the first. It was all Coyotes in the middle stanza. Stones ripped a shot past the blocker of Peters just as a power play expired to make it a 3-2 game 4:04 into the frame. Arizona tied the game with 3.7 seconds left in the second after Ovechkin took a high-sticking penalty. Vermette dished a pass down low to Doan, who skated out front and sniped a sharp-angled wrister over Dubnyks shoulder into the left corner of the net.

The deal hit a snag Tuesday when a federal judge asked both parties to back up their assertions that the agreement negotiated over several months is appropriate. U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody denied a motion that was meant to serve as a preliminary approval for the settlement, seeking more information from the parties. She wrote that she was "primarily concerned that not all retired NFL football players who ultimately receive a qualifying diagnosis or their (families) ... will be paid," and that the lawyers for both parties have not addressed those concerns. Given the judges ruling, the two sides will need to offer more evidence the fund will be sufficient or possibly have the NFL add money to the pot. Otherwise, they may be left to start over. "We are confident that the settlement is fair and adequate, and look forward to demonstrating that to the court," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Meanwhile, former players looking to receive assistance for the injuries they sustained while playing in the league will have to wait to be compensated. The two sides agreed in late August, just before the season kicked off and the issue largely went to the back burner, awaiting Brodys decision. The weekly accounting of brain injuries on the field, despite efforts to reduce them, continued to make headlines. Brody pointed out that the class of approximately 20,000 could overwhelm the fund, even if only 10 per cent of its members file claims against the $675 million set aside to pay claims, working out to $337,500 per player. The maximum payments in the settlement include $5 million for a yoounger retiree with Lou Gehrigs disease, $3 million for serious dementia, and $25,000 for an 80-year-old with early dementia.dddddddddddd Sol Weiss, a lead lawyer for the ex-players, remained confident the class-action settlement will ultimately be approved. "I am very confident that the (actuarial) people we used are right, and that there will be enough money to cover these claims for 65 years," Weiss said. The remainder of the $765 settlement is being earmarked for neurological testing and education. Lawyers will be paid on top of that by the NFL, meaning the suit would cost the league $900 million — or about 10 per cent of one years annual revenues. Brody also took issue with another part of the original agreement, writing in a footnote that she was concerned that the agreement prevents participants from suing the NCAA and other amateur football organizations. "Im not sure why the NFL would insist on that," said Gabe Feldman, a law professor who directs the sports law program at the Tulane University Law School. More than 4,500 former players filed the suit, some accusing the league of fraud for its handling of concussions. They include former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia. Brodys hand-picked mediator, former federal judge Layn R. Phillips, led several months of negotiations last year and has called the deal fair to both sides. If and when the parties can satisfy all of Brodys concerns, she would then give preliminary approval to the settlement. Following that would be a hearing at which people with objections can speak and have their issues addressed before final settlement and payments. ___ Follow Rick Freeman at http://twitter.com/RWFreeman ___ Associated Press writers Barry Wilner and Maryclaire Dale contributed to this report.
