GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Two nights after losing to the Eastern Confere

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Two nights after losing to the Eastern Conferences worst team, the Phoenix Coyotes handled the best. Zbynek Michalek scored against his former team, his first goal in 83 games, and the Coyotes became the first Pacific Division team to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in regulation this season with a 3-1 victory on Saturday night. Mike Ribeiro had a goal and an assist for Phoenix. Radim Vrbata scored the third goal for the Coyotes, who were coming off perhaps their worst loss of the season, 3-2 at home to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night. "I think we had something to prove," Michalek said. "We believed in this room that when we play the right way, we can play against any team. I think tonight was a great effort by everybody." Evgeni Malkin scored for the Penguins, who entered 8-0-1 against Pacific Division foes. Michaleks previous goal was scored on March 5, 2012, for Pittsburgh against Phoenix. "Its been almost two years," he said. "Hopefully I dont have to wait that long for the next one." Michalek acknowledged that he had extra motivation for this one. "For sure," he said. "This one feels good, and for me even sweeter. Anytime you play against your former team, you want to show up, you want to win." The Penguins, who had won three straight over the Coyotes, made their first appearance in Arizona in 3 1-2 years. Mike Smith, back in goal after Phoenix had gone with Thomas Greiss the previous two games, made 23 saves. Pittsburghs Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 27 shots. With just 24 shots, the Penguins offence was off its usual form. "Tonight was a tough-fought game. There wasnt a lot out there," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "Thats the kind of games we expect. We have to be able to play a patient game, not be taking chances with the way we play or the way we play with the puck." Playing in front 17,362, the Coyotes second-largest home crowd this season, Pittsburgh fell behind 2-0. The Penguins made it a one-goal game before Vrbatas shot on a 2-on-1 rush slipped through Fleury to make it 3-1 with 15:47 to play. The Penguins fell to 2-10 in games in which NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby fails to get a point. "They play good team defence as a group," Crosby said. "I think we didnt make it tough enough on them. We didnt hold the puck in their zone. Theyre pretty good at blocking shots and getting their stick on pucks. "You have to give them credit, but I dont think we did a good enough job of creating, either. I think we could have done more there." Coyotes coach Dave Tippett credited the defence of Oliver Ekman-Larsson against the Crosby line. "Ollie was all-world there," Tippett said. "Thats an unbelievable game by him." Ekman-Larsson called it "a good challenge for me and Z (Michalek)." "I think we did a pretty good job all night," he said. "So it was fun." Ribeiro put Phoenix ahead 1-0 with his 14th goal of the season and 200th of his career. His wrist shot from the left circle got past Fleurys left side and rattled in with 7:18 to play in the opening period. David Schlemnko and Antoine Vermette had assists. Vermette extended his career-high point streak to seven games. Ribeiros goal came just after Pittsburgh killed a penalty. After Pittsburghs prolific power play failed to score, Phoenix made it 2-0 on Michaleks slap shot past Fleury with 9:50 left in the second. Ekman-Larsson and Ribeiro got the assists. The Penguins made it one-goal game when Malkin scored his 16th of the season, from the right side of the net off a pass from James Neal. Jussi Jokinen also got an assist on the goal.

In a rebuke to his critics, Hamilton told City AM this week: It doesnt matter what the pundits say - Oh hes off travelling and partying - I turn up and I win. Dont talk to me about what I can and cant do. I define who I am, Im not defined by what people say. I might be in 10 different countries in a week, but Ill turn up at the track and kill it.The Formula 1 Gossip column Despite the criticism of his off-track lifestyle, Hamilton has won the last two World Championships and remains locked in a dogfight for this years World Championship with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg after winning the United States and Mexican GPs last month. No matter what he is doing, if he turns up and produces a great result, then it doesnt matter what he is doing away from the race track because he is prepared in his mind and physically, Sky F1s Marc Priestley told this weeks F1 Report: Brazil preview. I think you have to judge it over three or four seasons and then perhaps look back. This is a long season, the longest we have ever had, and at the start of the season we saw him jetting off all over the place between races and you think maybe because it is a long and tiresome season that will come to play near the end.But in Austin and Mexico he has turned up like a new man, so you cant really judge him. Marc Priestley and F1 film maker Mario Muth believe they aren’t in a position to judge Lewis Hamilton over his lifestyle. The former McLaren mechanic also likened Hamiltons lifestyyle to that of Kimi Raikkonen, with whom he worked at Woking.dddddddddddd.I remember when I was at McLaren and Kimi Raikkonen was at the height of his partying days and people criticised him left, right and centre, Priestley added. Yet at that time he was at the top of his game and one of the fastest drivers I have ever worked with. An established fan of social media, Hamilton frequently documents his own off-track activities for his fans, and F1 filmmaker Mario Muth suspects other drivers could be engaging in similar behaviour but with a lower profile. Whatever makes him faster, I think it is fine, said Muth. We just see more of what he is up to, Im not sure the others dont do the same thing. But he is just out there posting everything, so it gives people a reason to talk about it.He is obviously creating an image outside of F1 and these things help to do it, but we never saw Kimi - well, once, falling off a boat - but never really saw what he is doing. Nowadays it is very different. And Priestley believes globetrotting may be how Hamilton deals with the stress of being a modern F1 driver.Some things work for some certain people, he added. You could argue that you have to relax after a busy and stressful F1 weekend. Some people do that with their families, others go and party and travel.So we are not in a position to criticise him. Hes a triple world champion, he could go on to have more World Championships, so how could we possibly say he is not doing the right thing for him?Can Nico Rosberg clinch the title at Interlagos?
