ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues acquired Ryan Miller for moments such as these. Miller stopped 31 shots and kept the net empty in a shootout, too. He was precisely as advertised, a goalie that be a difference-maker when theres no room for mistakes. "Millsy standing on his head -- thats what we brought him here to do," forward T.J. Oshie said after the Blues outlasted the Philadelphia Flyers 1-0 on Tuesday night and matched the franchise record with their 51st win. "There were some saves where you feel like youre about to put your head down because its going to go in the net, and he seems so calm and just sticks his pad out and saves it." Miller is 10-3-1 with a 2.01 goals-against average and .920 save percentage since coming in a trade with Buffalo. Oshie and Kevin Shattenkirk scored in the shootout for the Blues, who have 109 points -- one fewer than Boston for the top spot in the NHL. Theyre 9-3 in the shootout largely because of Oshie, whos an uncanny 9 for 12 after converting a backhand, and also put on quite a show at the Sochi Olympics. "Yeah, I knew he was good and I knew what to expect," Ray Emery said. "But he was real quick on that one." Miller earned his 29th career shutout and first in 101 games since March 21, 2012, against Montreal when he was with Buffalo. He made a skate save against Vincent Lecavalier and a glove save on Claude Giroux -- whos 5 for 10 -- in the shootout. Emery, the Flyers backup making just his third start since the beginning of March, earned his 16th career shutout and second this season. "He definitely won us a point tonight," Flyers forward Scott Hartnell said. "In two weeks when the seasons over well see how big that point is." Miller was motivated after giving up four goals in a loss to Dallas on Saturday night, plus the Flyers are a familiar foe from his seasons in Buffalo. Hes 14-13-2 against the Flyers and this was his first shutout against them. "It was a fun night," Miller said. "When the pucks are hitting you, its a lot of fun." It was the third 1-0 shootout victory in Blues history and first since Feb. 1, 2008, against Anaheim. One of Millers best saves came with 1:30 to go in overtime when he stretched out and denied Jakub Voraceks bid to slide the puck under his pads. "At this point in my career, Im just trying to be really calm about everything," Miller said. "No sense letting things get off the rails and panicking too much." Both teams killed penalties in the final five minutes of regulation, with a high-sticking call to Giroux stretching into the first 36 seconds of overtime for Philadelphia. St. Louis penalty killers have allowed three goals on 36 chances the past 12 home games. The Flyers played in St. Louis for the first time since the 2010-11 opener. Miller foiled two breakaways in the opening minutes, one created when defencemen Alex Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk collided. He made an outstanding left pad save on Michael Raffl to thwart a 2-on-1 break early in the second period. Two Blues hit the goalpost in the second period, Jaden Schwartz in the opening minute and Pietrangelo in the final minute.

Jakub Voracek Jersey . -- A year ago, Flavia Pennetta was close to retiring from tennis.LONDON - Two goals from Sergio Aguero earned Manchester City a point as it twice came from behind in a 2-2 draw with Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road in the Premier League on Saturday.QPR started the game on the front foot, putting pressure on the City players in torrential rain whenever they were in possession in an attempt to force mistakes.And striker Charlie Austin had two goals ruled out before giving QPR the lead in the 21st minute. Austins first was rightly disallowed for offside, as was the second, albeit in unusual circumstances.City goalkeeper Joe Hart took the resultant free kick from Austins offside strike, but accidentally kicked the ball twice. The ball landed at Austins feet and he controlled and scored, but referee Mike Dean disallowed it as rules state players cant have two successive touches from a free kick.Hart then denied Austin excellently from eight yards, before Austin finally struck. He controlled a smart delivery from Mauricio Isla on the right before swiveling and firing across Hart into the far corner.It was a deserved lead for Harry Redknapps side, but the goal sparked City into stepping up its intensity, and the visitors levelled 11 minutes later through Aguero.He controlled a long pass from Eliaquim Mangala superbly and weaved into space across Steven Caulker before clinically beating QPR goalkeeper Robert Green. The ball appeared to hit Agueros arm as he kept it under control, but the goal stood.But while Aguero was spearheading Citys charge, Austin was leading QPRs attack just as dangerously in a relentless display of attacking football from both sides.And Austin was the creator as QPR hauled itself back into the lead in the 76th.Eduardo Vargas beat Yaya Toure to possession in midfield and picked out Austin, who burst down the riight before whipping the ball toward his strike partner Bobby Zamora.dddddddddddd Martin Demichelis jostled in front of Zamora and made contact with the ball, but only managed to divert it into his own net.But City nearly levelled through Aguero a minute later.He had a shot cleared off the line by former City defender Richard Dunne after the Argentina striker pounced upon a woefully short headed back pass from Joey Barton, before taking the ball around Green.QPR didnt accept the warning sings, instead looking to increase its advantage in the 80th, when Vargas brilliant acrobatic kick bounced narrowly wide.City poured forward looking to equalize, and it arrived in the 83rd. Aguero controlled a pass from Toure, rounded Green yet again and fired in for his 12th goal of the season, with four QPR defenders on the line trying to block his effort.QPR striker Austin admitted after that he was frustrated at not taking all three points from the game.Tonight, we have come off the pitch disappointed at not winning against the champions, Austin said, while Zamora acknowledged his team was unfortunate.It is a big point against a very good team. It would have been a great scalp, Zamora said.Redknapp also believed his team would hold on.I really felt at 2-1 we would go on and win the game, the manager said. When we went 1-0 up, we were well on top and they scored against the run of play. You cant relax when they have got so many quality players in the team.City manager Manuel Pellegrini praised Agueros performance, adding he felt his team is in an unlucky moment.Aguero had all of the QPR defence in trouble whenever he had the ball, Pellegrini said. Again, this team demonstrates we are fighting. We are not playing very well, but had enough chances to win the game. ' ' '
