NEWARK, N.J. -- It didnt take Taylor Hall long to become a fan favorite in New Jersey.Hall scored two power-play goals in a 4:11 span in the second period in his regular-season debut with the Devils and New Jersey posted its first win, a 2-1 decision over the road-weary and penalty-plagued Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.If you had gotten three or four it could have been better, Hall said with a big smile. It was a fun night, from the red carpet to the starting ovation, it was a great night. As a team we really wanted to get that first win, get that off our chest. Now we can play as a team. We played a game tonight that is repeatable, and thats the best part about it.Having Hall step up was big as New Jersey ended a five-game losing streak against Anaheim.It takes the pressure off him after the Devils made a big trade with Edmonton in the offseason to get him. It also allows the team to settle down after a 0-1-1 start in Florida last week.Obviously a big night for him (Hall), said goaltender Cory Schneider, who had 23 saves and forced the Ducks Chris Wagner to lose control of the puck on a second-period penalty shot. Thats great because when he is going, its good for us.Sami Vatanen scored on a power play for Anaheim, which is 0-3-1 in its five-game trip to start the season. John Gibson made 26 saves for Ducks, who played short-handed seven times.We didnt play a very disciplined game, Vatanen said. In the second period and the third, we took way too many penalties. We killed it off pretty well. We had our chances and just couldnt bury (them).Hall, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2010, tied the game at 1-all, putting the rebound of a shot by Mike Cammalleri into an open net at 12:35. It came after Anaheim killed off the opening part of a two-man advantage only to see New Jersey score 5-on-4.Sometimes when you have wide open nets like that you can psyche yourself out, Hall said. I wanted to make sure it went in the back of the net. It was a really good feeling.Halls second goal came on a great deflection of a point shot by defenseman Damon Severson at 16:41. Gibson never had a chance.Wagner got his penalty shot near the end of the period but lost control of the puck after making a move on Schneider.I tried to be aggressive, Schneider said. Fortunately, he made one too many moves and it rolled off his stick. It was a bit of a lucky break.Anaheim got a late power play but could not convert.Gibson said the Ducks know its early, but they have to start earning some wins.We cant go out there and expect to win and expect it is going to change, he said. The league is too good. Every team is too good.Vatanen had given Anaheim the lead at 9:03 of the first period with a shot from the right circle. The Ducks never let the Devils clear the puck out of their zone after Kyle Palmieri was called for tripping at 7:15.New Jersey was 0 for 5 on the power play in its first two games in Florida against the Panthers and Lightning.Devils rookie defenseman Johann Auvitu lost an apparent game-tying goal early in the second period when Reid Boucher was whistled for a high stick against defenseman Kevin Bieksa seconds before the puck went in the net.Game notes Devils F Sergey Kalinin (illness) is practicing again. He was placed on IR before the season. ... Vatanens goal gave him 100 career points. ... The game opened with a short fight between the Devils Vernon Fiddler and the Ducks Ryan Kesler.UP NEXT:DUCKS: at Philadelphia on Thursday night before heading home.DEVILS: visit Boston Thursday night.

Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The first half of the 2015-16 Premier League season went about as well as any Crystal Palace fan or pundit could have predicted. The club held their head high in fifth place on New Years Day.Then the bottom fell out.Alan Pardews Eagles collected just two points in January, February and March combined, and if not for a win and three draws in April, they would have slid into the relegation battle.Pardew will encourage his boys to remember how things went during the first half of that season when they begin this one at Selhurst Park on Saturday against West Bromwich Albion.The winter-into-spring slide did not completely ruin Palaces season -- they made a surprise run to the FA Cup final to offset their 15th place league finish. But the Eagles could not hold off Manchester United after taking a 78th-minute lead following a strike from Jason Puncheon and fell 2-1 to the Red Devils after extra time.Since that Cup defeat, Pardew and his staff have been busy rebuilding the squad in hopes of another solid season in the Premier League.Forward Dwight Gayle was sold to Newcastle United for 10 million pounds, while the club also said goodbye to Emmanuel Adebayor and Marouane Chamakh. A new striker remains a priority and the club have been trying to land Belgian international Christian Benteke from Liverpool, but have so far been rebuffed in their pursuit.If they are unable to land Benteke, they could get an up-close look at another target on Saturday if West Broms Saido Berahino makes an appearance.The club have also reportedly agreed to sell Yannick Bolasie to Everton for 30 million pounds, but Pardew remained coy when asked.Weve got nothing concrete to announce today, other than a lot of rumours. Theres nothing thats going to happen before the weekend, Pardew said at a briefing this week. Yannick is contracted here. Hes a great player and a great person, I love him. Well treat him with the utmost respect in any situation. Bolasie, and my conversations with him, will stay private.On the arrivals side of the ledger, Pardew brought in winger Andros Townsend from Newcastle for 13 million pounds to provide some pace down the flanks, He reinforced the back line with defender James Tomkins, who made the move from West Ham United for 10 million pounds.Goalkeeper Steve Mandanda also arrived in south London on a free transfer from Marseille and should slide right into the No. 1 goalkeeper spot.We want to take the club forward in a manner where we dont lose the spirit and the soul of this football club. This club has grown massively. Were in unprecedented territory -- our fourth year in the top division, Pardew added. Without having a transfer out, I would expect us to add twwo more players.dddddddddddd Ive tried to be transparent because our fans deserve that. When they walk in that stadium they will see a stronger team this year.West Bromwich Albion enter the new season with a new face in the owners suite. After 14 years, club chairman Jeremy Peace has sold the club to Chinese entrepreneur Guochuan Lai, who has purchased an 88 percent stake in the club. West Brom becomes the latest English side to be taken over by investors from the Far East, joining West Midlands rivals Aston Villa and Wolverhampton.Like Roman Abramovics purchase of Chelsea, Quatar Sports Investments purchase of Paris Saint-Germain and City Football Groups acquisition of Manchester City, the right ownership can propel a club to new heights, something Peace sees in the sale of the Baggies.The club can look to the future with excitement about the opportunities ahead, said Peace. This deal will enable Albion to build on the strong, sustainable foundations which have become the cornerstone of the clubs progress.Lai will assume official ownership when his deal with Peace is approved by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Premier League.I am excited and privileged to have the chance to become the new owner of this great club, Lai said.The Baggies new owner was also quick to point out the history between his country and the club.There are already strong links between China and West Bromwich Albion that began in May 1978, becoming the first English club to tour China in modern history. We have a strong squad, loyal fans and a unique culture, states Lai, who is also keen to stress, I have no intention of changing the clubs ethos.I feel as if I have joined a very welcoming family and I am really touched by the warmth of my reception. Everyone has been so friendly and I cannot wait to see my first game.Tony Pulis remains on the touch line after guiding the club to a 14th place finish on 43 points. Fans should expect the same defence-first approach to the game, but injuries to Chris Brunt, James Morrison, Ben Foster and Victor Anichebe stunted the Baggies attack last term.With new ownership just settling in defender Matt Phillips has been the only addition, making the move from Queens Park Rangers, but more ins and outs will certainly be on the way as the transfer window winds down.Pulis agreed that his team still needs strengthening.All over. Every position that you look at, Pulis told the Express and Star. The back players, midfield players and front players, we have to strengthen. The targets have been there, we know what we want. ' ' '
