Begrüßung » in the group headed to Brazil

CARSON, Calif. Joe Alexander Jersey . -- Landon Donovan broke the Major League Soccer goal record Sunday night, scoring his 135th and 136th regular-season goals in the Los Angeles Galaxys 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union. Playing for the first time since being cut from the U.S. World Cup team, Donovan broke a tie with Jeff Cunningham in the 49th minute with his first goal of the season, then added another in the 81st. Donovan also holds the MLS playoff record with 22 goals. Donovan scored his first goal on a counterattack, passing to Robbie Keane, who took the ball into the Union box and fed Donovan at the left post for an easy finish. After making it 4-0 in the 81st, Donovan was replaced by Brazilian forward Samuel a minute later, departing to a standing ovation from the crowd of 21,010. "Its been a long week," Donovan said. "Its hard not to make it about me, and I dont necessarily want it to be that way. But Ive sacrificed a lot to be in the position Im in and I was very happy for myself because Ive dedicated a lot to this. I think I deserved what happened today." Donovan, also the U.S. national team goals leader with 57 in 156 games, has played 311 regular-season games in 15 MLS seasons. The Jamaican-born Cunningham, a former U.S. national team player, played in 365 games over 14 seasons with Columbus, Colorado, Real Salt Lake, Toronto FC and FC Dallas. He last played in MLS in 2011. Donovan said he wasnt looking to make a statement after coach Jurgen Klinsmanns decision not to include him in the group headed to Brazil. "This is my job and this is what I get paid to do, so my teammates depend on me and I think Ive played well this year, but I needed to contribute on the scoreboard, and that felt good," said Donovan, who was making his eighth appearance of the season. "Obviously, a lot of relief in some ways, a lot of joy, but I feel like Im in really good form right now, and I really feel good about how I played, and this is a continuation of how Ive played over the last few months." Donovan is No. 2 on the leagues career assists list with 120, including one on Leonardos second-minute header Sunday. Steve Ralston, a Houston Dynamo assistant coach who retired in 2010, has the record with 135. That was the first goal for Los Angeles, with Donovan delivering a free kick for Leonardo to finish. Keane scored a third in the 64th minute after a turnover by Union defender Sheanon Williams. Los Angeles (4-3-3) won consecutive games for the second time this season. Philadelphia (2-7-5), which welcomed back midfielder Maurice Edu -- also one of seven players trimmed from the 30-man World Cup preliminary roster -- lost its second game in a row and fifth in the last six outings. The Union have won just once in their last dozen games. Edu scored in the 88th minute, converting a penalty kick after Raul Mendiola fouled Zach Pfeffer. Kent Benson Jersey . Bring on Freddy Garcia.

The Rangers put together a 16-3-0 mark over 19 games leading up to the All- Star break, but followed the hiatus with a 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders two days prior to Thursdays 1-0 setback to the Montreal Canadiens. Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves versus the Habs in the opener of a four-game homestand and did not allow the only goal of the game until there was 4:17 left. He was finally solved by the Habs when Max Pacioretty snapped a shot through the legs of Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh. Its tough for any goalie to pick up a shot like that with a quick release and a little bit of a screen by myself, McDonagh said. New York now tries to avoid losing three in a row for the first time since an 0-1-2 slide from Nov. 13-17. The Blueshirts havent lost three in a row in regulation since Oct. 11-14. The Rangers do draw a favorable matchup as they have won four straight and 14 of their last 15 meetings with the Hurricanes. That includes a sweep of a home-and-home series on Dec. 20-21, capped with a 1-0 triumph in New York.. Milwaukee Bucks Gear. The Blueshirts have won eight in a row at home in this series as backup Cam Talbot made 18 saves and McDonagh scored in the first period. New York has not lost at home to Carolina since Oct. 29, 2010 and Lundqvist is 19-9-1 versus the Hurricanes with a 2.13 goals against average and .924 save percentage in 29 meetings. Anton Khudobin made 30 saves in the recent setback to the Rangers. Khudobin had a rough go of things last night for the Hurricanes, getting lifted early in a 3-2 shootout loss as he yielded two goals on three shots. Cam Ward halted all 29 shots he faced through overtime in relief as Carolina rallied to get a point. The goalie change was more just to slow their momentum down, said Carolina head coach Bill Peters. Its obviously not a reflection of the goaltender, but we didnt start on time, thats for sure. Justin Faulk and Ryan Murphy lit the lamp for the Hurricanes, who had a three- game winning streak snapped. Ward gave up the only goal of the shootout, beat by defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk in the second round. Carolina begins a four-game road trip tonight and Ward figures to get the start. He is 10-12-4 versus the Rangers in 27 meetings, posting a 2.44 GAA, .924 save percentage and two shutouts. ' ' '
