Eindhoven, Netherlands (SportsNetwork. Anthony Davis Pelicans Jersey .com) - PSV Eindhoven extended its lead atop the Dutch Eredivisie on Saturday thanks to a comfortable 5-0 home victory over Go Ahead Eagles. The hosts were in front after only 14 minutes thanks to Santiago Arias first league goal of the campaign, and Memphis Depay doubled PSVs advantage in the 33rd minute. Go Ahead Eagles managed to stay within two until the closing stages as PSV scored three goals in the final 11 minutes to put an exclamation point at the end of the result. Depay completed his brace with a goal in the 79th minute while Jurgen Locadia and Florian Jozefzoon bagged a goal apiece in stoppage time to finish off the rout. The result sees PSV improve to 43 points to put the club seven points clear of second-place Ajax. PSV also moves 14 points clear of third-place Zwolle, which squandered an early lead to suffer a disappointing 2-1 loss at Cambuur on Saturday. Edouard Duplan netted a brace for Utrecht in a 3-0 victory at AZ Alkmaar on Saturday while Michael de Leeuw and Robin Gosens exchanged goals in Groningens 1-1 draw at Dordrecht.

"The most important thing to come out of the game is that we did not get scored against," Laidlaw said. Pelicans Gears . -- Craig Anderson has quite a record against his former team, the Florida Panthers. http://www.pelicansbasketballpro.com/Jordan-Crawford-Pelicans-Jersey/ . - John Elways philosophy is to address immediate needs in free agency, even though some of his own veterans may prove too pricey to keep around.Goaltending is massively important to determining which teams win and lose in the NHL, yet its incredibly difficult to predict. Even if you expect regression to take place, bringing down the highest highs and raising the lowest lows, there are still seasons that seem to come out of nowhere, either good or bad. Anyway, Ive taken a look at the goaltending situation, for all 30 teams, to this point in the season. ANAHEIM DUCKS When the season began, it looked as though Jonas Hiller would be hard-pressed to split time with Viktor Fasth in the Ducks net, but thats not how the season has played out, at all. Hiller, who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at seasons end and could have been a viable trade chip under different circumstances, has been a solid, if not spectacular presence in net for Anaheim, posting a .914 save percentage. Fasth, on the other hand, hasnt played since suffering a lower-body injury November 18. He appears to be nearing a return but, having played only five games this season, it would be shocking for the Ducks to turn to Fasth as the starter down the stretch and into the postseason. If he plays great, perhaps he can take the job, but theres not a great deal of time left to make that . In Fasths absence, 24-year-old Danish rookie Frederik Andersen has established his credentials an NHL goaltender, posting a .933 save percentage in 16 games. The interesting part for the Ducks, at least theoretically, is whether they would be comfortable going with Andersen and/or Fasth down the stretch, allowing them to still market Hiller, but contending teams tend not to clear out their starting goaltenders unless making an obvious upgrade. Well, that and Ducks GM Bob Murray has made it clear that Hillers not going anywhere. That leaves Andersen ticketed for the AHL, where top prospect John Gibson has been handling the starters workload, when Fasth is ready to return. BOSTON BRUINS The Bruins situation in net is very clearly defined. Even with a slight slump recently, 26-year-old Tuukka Rask has a .930 save percentage and his .928 save percentage since 2009-2010 ranks as the best among goaltenders with at least 150 games played. A positive development for the Bruins has been that 27-year-old Chad Johnson, who had played 10 NHL games prior to this season, has fared well in the backup role, with a .918 save percentage in 14 appearances. Hes not a threat to Rasks playing time and is solid enough when given the chance to play. BUFFALO SABRES A pending unrestricted free agent, 33-year-old Ryan Miller has been the Sabres starting goaltender since 2005-2006 and while Buffalo is struggling this season, Miller is having one of his best years; his .926 save percentage is a career-best, behind only 2009-2010 when he won the Vezina Trophy as leagues top goaltender. Considering his age and contract status, Miller is a prime candidate to be moved, which will shake up the goaltending on two teams -- Millers new team as well as the Sabres, who will need a replacement. Jhonas Enroth, the 25-year-old backup, might benefit immediately should Miller move on, but Enroths track record, which included a respectable .912 save percentage in 70 career games, isnt enough to think that hes the inevitable heir apparent. That could open the door for an external candidate (potentially in the summer) or prospect Matt Hackett, though Hackett currently has a career-low .906 save percentage in the AHL. CALGARY FLAMES Few teams are as questionable in goal as the Flames. Karri Ramo came over from the KHL, where he had been very good for four seasons, and he struggled early, posting an .890 save percentage through the end of November. Its been better since -- .913 in 17 games since the beginning of December -- maybe enough to warrant NHL employment as a backup, but hardly anything to assure a future starting spot for the 27-year-old. 27-year-old Reto Berra had an okay run for seven games in December, but has been subpar otherwise, with an .893 save percentage an indication that hes not ready for more responsibility. If any team needs a goaltending upgrade, its the Flames and, with a new general manager, there isnt any loyalty due to those in-house. However, if the
