ST. JOHNS, N.L. -- Travis Morin scored twice, including in overtime, as the Texas Stars clawed back from a three-goal deficit to rally past the St. Johns IceCaps 4-3 on Monday night and take a 3-1 series lead in the American Hockey Leagues Calder Cup final. Despite being outplayed through the first period, Stars coach Willie Desjardins said the team was waiting for the chance to get back in the game. "The guys knew we werent playing good and knew we had to do better. We knew we had to go hard and hope we caught a break," said Desjardins. "Getting those two goals at the end of the second (period) gave us some life." Morin sealed the win when he capitalized on a one-time opportunity 2:24 into overtime, burying the puck top corner from the slot with a quick wrist shot. "It was obviously a big goal," he said. "We had a lot of momentum going after getting that one in the third. It seems like most games we play in overtime this post-season, we get it done as quickly as we can. I was flying up the backside and Brendan Ranford made a great pass. I didnt get all of (the puck). I really wanted to, but I didnt. It sort of fluttered over his shoulder." Morin said his line with Ranford and Curtis McKenzie has had chemistry the entire post-season, and continues to produce. "We all contributed, it was a complete effort from our whole line. We all know our roles and we all know what to do. Were unselfish and not afraid to make a better pass for a better scoring opportunity." McKenzie and Brett Ritchie also scored for Texas. Ben Chiarot, Carl Klingberg and Kael Mouillierat scored for St. Johns. Chiarot opened the scoring for the IceCaps while shorthanded when his wrist shot from the point found its way through traffic at the 13:02 mark of the first period. Klingberg gave the IceCaps a two-goal lead when he finished off a give-and-go with Mouillierat 57 seconds into the second period by carrying the puck to the net on his backhand and burying it high glove. The IceCaps scored again at the 8:21 mark of the second when Mouillierat hit a one-time slap shot from the top of the right face-off dot on a Will ONeill pass during a 5-on-3 power play. Morin ended the drought for Texas when he tapped in a goal five-hole in the slot with 4:27 left in the second period. The Stars pulled within one through McKenzie, who swatted in a loose puck bouncing around the crease with 1:51 remaining in the second. With 2:19 left in the third period, Ritchie tied the game for the Stars when he finished off a good spell of puck possession with a quick wrist shot in the slot. IceCaps goalie Michael Hutchinson made 34 saves while Texas goaltender Cristopher Nilstrop stopped 32 shots. Morin said the Game 4 win is key in the Stars ability to close out the series. "(Winning Monday) was big. It guarantees us having three shots at it. If we need it, two of those shots will be in our building. Thats what we worked for all year, to get those opportunities, but we would love to take care of it tomorrow night. Game 5 is Tuesday night in St. Johns. Game 6 and 7, if necessary, will be back in Cedar Park, Texas. Mario Gotze Jersey .

Marco Reus Jersey .B. -- Canadas Rachel Homan opened the Ford Womens World Curling Championship with a 7-5 win over Russia on Saturday.BELGRADE, Serbia -- With an Olympic gold medal and eight Grand Slam titles in mens doubles tennis, Torontos Daniel Nestor has claimed the sports highest honours. But for the 41-year old, teaming up with Vancouvers Vasek Posipsil to put Canada on the verge of a first ever berth in a Davis Cup final is right up there among the greatest moments in his career. Nestor and Pospisil hung on for a 6-7 (6), 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (5), 10-8 victory over Serbias Nenad Zimonjic and Illja Bozoljac on Saturday. "Its just as good as a gold medal or Wimbledon for sure," said Nestor, who is usually reserved in media interviews but walked into the post-match press conference with a big smile on his face. "Its emotional because this is a team atmosphere and were all in this together and were having a great year. We love the camaraderie and thats whats special." Canada has a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five tie heading into the final two singles matches on Sunday. It was a match Canada couldnt afford to lose with both Milos Raonic and Pospisil heading into Sundays reverse singles matches as underdogs playing against Novak Djokovic and Janko Tipsarevic, respectively. Pospisil admitted that he panicked in getting quickly dispatched in straight sets by Djokovic on Friday. But Saturdays match was different. "I was a lot more calm today," said the 23-year old Pospisil. "I wanted to bounce back strong and I was happy to play the way I did today and now Ill try to keep that confidence and momentum for (Sunday) and try to play it sharp as well." In the marathon fifth set, Pospisil got the opportunity to serve for the match after Zimonjic double-faulted before volleying into the net on consecutive points to give Canada the only break. Bozoljacs booming serve caused the Canadians problems all day. "When all four players are playing well its going to come down to a few points here and there," said Pospisil.dddddddddddd "Obviously the fifth set its going to come down to a few lucky shots and a few good points and we were fortunate that we took the opportunity when we had it." The several hundred red-clad Canadian supporters had been louder than their Serbian counterparts and were rewarded when Nestor volleyed a return down to seal the victory. After hitting the winning shot, Nestor celebrated with Pospisil before getting mobbed at the Canadian bench. "The people that come to travel here and come to sacrifice their time and support us is amazing," said Nestor, who first rose to prominence as a 19-year-old in 1992 when he beat then world No. 1 Stefan Edberg in a Davis Cup singles match in Vancouver. "We really appreciate it and weve never had support like this on the road before so theyre very deserving and helpful of our victories." Canada forced the fifth set after a frantic tiebreaker in the fourth that saw the teams trade mini-breaks. Zimonjic gave Canada two set-point opportunities when his volley into the net put Canada up 6-4. Pospisil won it on the next point with an ace. Pospisil had trouble getting his first serves in to start the match but Canada still won the first three points of the opening game. But Serbia fought back to break. It took a few games for Pospisil to get comfortable on serve but Nestor looked sharp right from the start, which prevented Canada from going down further. As Pospisil found his serve, Canada eventually broke back in the eighth game to tie the first set 4-4. Canada picked up a mini-break to go up 4-3 in the tiebreak but Serbia came back with two mini-breaks of their own and won the set when Nestor put a shot into the net. Sunday opens with a battle of the top-ranked players, as world No. 1 Djokovic takes on top-Canadian and world No. 11 Raonic, while No. 41 Pospisil takes on 23rd-ranked Tipsarevic in the second match.
