ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Derek Ryan waited longer than most NHL players for his chance. Now, nearing 30 years old, hes making the most of it.Ryan scored twice, Cam Ward made 21 saves and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 on Thursday night.Ryan had his first multigoal performance in 20 NHL games. A fixture in the lineup since being called up from the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL on Nov. 11, Ryan has six points in the last seven games.Pretty remarkable. Hard to even put it into words, Ryan said. Its one of those nights where youll remember it.Once considered undersized and a step too slow for the NHL, the journeyman from Spokane, Washington, who will turn 30 on Dec. 29, has finally proved that he can play at this level after years of playing in the minor leagues and in Europe.I dont think its just tonight thats proven that, Ryan said. I think Ive tried to prove that through the early part of this season and even last year, in the games that I played here. But its nice to get those goals and feel like I can contribute at a high level in this league.Brock McGinn also scored for Carolina.Drew Doughty scored for the Kings and Jeff Zatkoff made 15 saves in his first 60-minute performance of the season.Andrej Nestrasil fed Ryan for the first score of the game with 2:09 left in the first. With Kings defensemen Alec Martinez and Jake Muzzin on the same man, Nestrasil found Ryan all alone, and he broke away for the backhand around Zatkoff.Ryan made it 2-0 at 13:13 in the second period, finishing off an impressive passing sequence with for a short-handed goal. After breaking into a 2-on-1, Ryan sent a no-look backhand pass around defenseman Drew Doughty to McGinn, and McGinn sent the puck under a diving Doughty back to Ryan, who banked it off the near post.Weve done that a couple times together in Charlotte, Ryan said. I felt some pressure from Doughty there and I tried to get it over to him behind my back. I was kind of expecting him to shoot it, but he ended up putting it right on my tape for a wide open net.Probably one of those goals that my family will watch for a while.It appears as though his family get to watch him in the NHL for a little longer, as hes impressed the Carolina coaching staff with his work ethic and playmaking abilities.Its a good story, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. Hes got a great hockey mind, hes got elite vision and he makes plays.McGinn sniped one top-shelf over Zatkoff 4:20 into the third period to make it 3-0.Doughtys goal closed the scoring at 12:50 in the third period.The Kings failed to generate much offense in a somewhat lackluster performance. Kings coach Darryl Sutter juggled the lines when he saw his top players underperforming, but a three-goal hole proved too deep to climb out of in the third period.I dont think our top guys were very sharp, and they didnt have any scoring chances, Sutter said. Our top guys were not very efficient out there maximizing what their god gave them.Game notes Doughty turned 27 on Thursday. ... Zatkoffs start was his first since Nov. 11. ...

Finally breaking through after tripping out beautifully under regular rider Javier Castellano, who kept her perfectly placed behind Curlins Approval and her own stablemate Genre in the 1-1/16-mile Rampart.Curlins Approval and Genre slugged it out on the lead through splits of 23,53, 45.64 and 1:09.71 for the opening six furlongs, with Eskenformoney poised to strike while being kept little more than a length off the pace from the outset. Castellano sent Eskenformoney up three wide to challenge the embattled leaders turning into the stretch, his filly finally wearing down Curlins Approval inside the eighth pole before maintaining a safe advantage to the end.Curlins Approval, who surprisingly went postward as the odds-on, 1-2 favorite, turned in a huge efforrt in defeat in her two-turn debut.dddddddddddd She withstood the early challenge from Genre, then briefly resisted the winner before ultimately succumbing near the end. It was another 1-1/2 lengths back to the tiring Genre in third.Eskenformoney paid $13.20 after negotiating the distance in 1:35.47 over a fast track.Talking to Johnny and Javier before the race, they said it looks like you wanted to be involved early, Pletcher said. The strategy was to come out running with both of them, and Genre just came out showing a little more natural speed. But Javier made a conscious effort to stay as close as he could, and it worked out.Pletcher said he was happy Eskenformoney finally became a graded stakes winner after several frustrating near misses at 3 and 4.It was nice to see, she really deserved it, Pletcher said.

She seems to like Gulfstream, shes always seemed to run well here, and it was good to see her finally pick up a graded win. ' ' '
