MANCHESTER, England -- In the boldest call of his short time at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola jettisoned Joe Hart and replaced him with Claudio Bravo to have a ball-playing goalkeeper in his team.Based on Bravos debut in the cauldron of a Manchester derby, some will question if its the correct choice.The Chile international showcased his excellent footwork and footballing brain throughout Citys 2-1 win at Old Trafford, moving outside his area to get involved in play and starting attacks with his passing and long throws.But other aspects of his performance let him down -- notably when he dropped a free kick to the feet of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who volleyed home the loose ball to bring United back into a game it had started so poorly.The 33-year-old Bravo also courted danger by dribbling round Ibrahimovic in the second half, only to let the ball get away from him. It required a studs-first challenge on Wayne Rooney to clear the ball and avoid a second major mistake.Every time Bravo received the ball after his error for the goal, Uniteds fans jeered and heckled the goalkeeper, who showed his personality by continuing to play the ball out from the back -- a key reason why he was signed by Guardiola.Sometimes (mistakes) happen and the player thinks its my fault, Guardiola said. Instead Claudio said, `OK, its football, its happened, the situation is unlucky and in the second half he played again, and again, and again with the ball.I know its a risk. If we lose the ball, its a goal against us. But when we win with that, we win many, many things. I try to convince the players that its the best way to control the game, dominate and concede as few chances as possible.Signed late in the transfer window, Bravo has spent most of the last two weeks on international duty and only had two training sessions with his new teammates.Guardiola had no hesitation putting him into the side for a huge game.His personality showed me a lot today, Guardiola said.Bravo, who started his footballing career as a striker, demonstrated his technical skills by spraying passes out to the halfway line during the pre-match warmup and he did the same during the game, even when put under pressure by Uniteds players.He even started the move that led to Citys opening goal, passing the ball out to Aleksandar Kolarov instead of clearing his lines. Kolarov then sent the ball long, it was flicked on by Kelechi Iheanacho and Kevin De Bruyne ran through to score.Bravo instigated another dangerous first-half attack by skimming a long throw between two United midfielders and to the feet of De Bruyne.Its a cultural change compared to the days of Hart, who was strong on crosses and at shot-stopping but often looked unsure with the ball at his feet. For that reason, he has been sent on loan to Italian side Torino in a move that ended his decade-long spell at City.

PAUL, Minn. -- A bounce went the right way at a key time for Mikael Granlund and the Minnesota Wild.Granlund scored with 44.5 seconds left, Devan Dubnyk stopped 25 shots for his league-leading fourth shutout, and the Wild beat the Boston Bruins 1-0 Thursday night.Granlund took a pass from Jonas Brodin circled below the end line and came out to the right of Tuukka Rask. His centering pass went off Adam McQuaid then off Rask and into the Boston net.Thats why I always pass, joked Granlund, who missed an open net in the second period.Dubnyk has had to carry the Wild lately as Minnesotas offense has mustered just 10 goals in its past seven games, yet won three. He has allowed nine goals in his last nine games, stopping 274 of 283 shots in that span to account for a .965 save percentage. For the season, his goals-against average (1.48) and save percentage (.952) are league bests.Its not my job to score. Its my job to work with the guys and defend. I have zero complaints with how the guys have been defending for me and playing, Dubnyk said. I got no question in here that these guys can put the puck in the net. Sometimes it takes something like that to turn it around.Minnesota has allowed an NHL-low 29 total goals in 16 games this season, including 10 in its last nine games, dating back to a 5-0 shutout Oct. 25 in Boston.Dubnyk kept the game scoreless 6 minutes into the third coming out of the crease and diving to poke the puck away from Matt Beleskey, who was in alone after a turnover by Matt Dumba.Rask stopped 28 shots. He is 4-1-0 in his past five games, with a 0.80 goals-against average and .947 save percentage.His best save came late in the second, getting his glove up quick to stifle Jason Pominville, who was alone in front and had a second to move the puck to his forehand.Hes been unbbelievable, carrying us and bailing us out when we made mistakes, David Backes said.dddddddddddd We need to find a way to beat the other goaltender.Boston has scored four goals in its last three games.An undisclosed injury has kept Bruins leading-scorer David Pastrnak, who has 10 goals and 14 points in 14 games, out of the past two practices. Coach Claude Julien said the right wing is day to day. Riley Nash played on the top line with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron.After an evenly played opening period featuring stellar stops on both ends, and Minnesota controlling the first 14 minutes of the second, Boston thought it took a 1-0 lead when a shot from Torrey Krug deflected off the skate of Backes and behind Dubnyk with 5:30 to play in the frame. However, after a lengthy video review it was ruled the Bruins were offside entering the zone.Pardon my language but the (bad) bounces were 1-1 and ours was just an offside and theirs was a goal, Rask said. But after two periods when its 0-0 you feel like its gonna be some kind of breakdown or lucky bounce and thats what happened.Game notes Boston was scoreless on two power plays and is 4 for 60 all-time against the Wild. ...
