CHESTER, Pa. -- Conor Casey scored twice, lifting the Philadelphia Union past the New York Red Bulls 3-0 on Sunday. Casey had a goal disallowed in the fourth minute because he was offside. But he responded with a goal three minutes later, and one in 64th minute. Antoine Hoppenot also scored for the Union in the 88th minute. The Union (7-5-4) pulled even with New York (7-6-4) for third place in the Eastern Conference standings. Philadelphia also snapped a five-match losing streak to the Red Bulls. After Caseys first goal, the Union controlled the tempo the rest of the way. In the 28th minute, New Yorks Lloyd Sam was given a red card following a hard foul on Philadelphias Danny Cruz. New York was never able to generate much offence down a player. It was the second straight loss for the Red Bulls, who hadnt played a league match in 22 days. They were without defender Jamison Olave and midfielder Juninho because of yellow-card accumulation. The Union, meanwhile, hadnt played a league match since June 5, a 3-0 victory over the Columbus Crew. Heath Miller Womens Jersey . Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round. Heath Miller Youth Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. http://www.steelerspronfl.com/Youth-Rocky-Bleier-Elite-Jersey/ . According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. JuJu Smith-Schuster Steelers Jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. Hines Ward Jersey . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. It might come as news to the NBC Sports Network studio crew that spent part of Wednesday nights post-game show panning Pekka Rinnes effort this season, but the Nashville Predators goalie isnt the reason theyre off to a 4-5-3 start.Rinnes save percentage of .922 is 15th in the league, which isnt exactly Carey Price territory but sure beats February of last season, when he was 37th among 43 qualified goalies in save percentage. Whats more, Rinne was in vintage form Tuesday night, kicking out 33 shots in a 3-1 win over Ottawa.That included one of the seasons best saves anywhere, his stop on Bobby Ryans wrister six minutes into the game that appeared headed for the nets open half until Rinne kicked it out with his left pad.Between he and Carey, theyve got to be among the best goaltenders in the league, said defenseman P.K. Subban, Prices teammate in Montreal until an offseason trade landed him in Nashville. When hes on, hes on, and hes been on all season.The Predators will ask Rinne to be on again Thursday night when they host the St. Louis Blues in game three of a four-game homestand. Its the first meeting between the Central Division rivals, who are both in chase mode behind the Chicago Blackhawks.St. Louis is at a scheduling disadvantage in this one, as it played Wednesday night and fell 2-1 in overtime to Chicago in a game that reeked of a playoff classic instead of an early November contest. The Blues (7-4-3) scored with 2:11 left in regulation to force the extra period, but were denied the extra point 225 seconds into overtime on Artemi Panarins wrister as a power play ended.ddddddddddddAn inability to score has hampered St. Louis in its last eight games. Its 3-4-1 in that span, a record which one might consider flattering since its tallied just 13 times.Weve got to find ways to score, defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. If we can keep getting to the net and causing more traffic, were going to score more goals.Pietrangelo took advantage of bodies in front of Chicago goalie Corey Crawford on the tying goal, as Jori Lehtera screened Crawford well enough for him to not get a bead on the shot. It caromed off Crawford and trickled into the net.Otherwise, it was another night of flail to no avail for the Blues. Vladimir Tarasenko epitomized that, as he failed to elevate the puck on a Grade A chance near the end of a third-period power play and was robbed of a game-tying marker.As for Nashville, its also having trouble scoring goals, as it only has 31 in 12 games. But it did pot three Tuesday night against Ottawas Craig Anderson, beating him with its first two shots of the second period.We had a lot of chances, defenseman Roman Josi said. We played a really good game for three periods and got rewarded.The Predators could see a familiar face in the other net. Former backup Carter Hutton might get the start in this one for St. Louis, as Jake Allen saved 28 shots in the loss to Chicago. ' ' '
