SOCHI, Russia -- Mark Arendz recorded a first for Canada on the opening day of competition at the Paralympic Winter Games. The 24-year-old from Hartsville, P.E.I., won a silver medal Saturday in the biathlon, the first Canadian ever to do so in the event. Arendz finished just .07 seconds behind gold medallist Vladislav Lekomtcev of Russia, who posted a winning time of 19 minutes 3.7 seconds. Russian Azat Karachurin finished third in 19:14.9. Arendzs coach, Robin McKeever, guided his brother and 10-time Paralympic medallist, Brian, to Canadas only other Paralympic medal in biathlon. They captured a bronze medal in the visually impaired 7.5-kilometre sprint discipline at the 2006 Paralympics in Turin, Italy. "It feels absolutely great and a big relief to get on the podium right away," said a beaming Arendz. "I fought as hard as I could, and it was such a close race at the end." It was one of three medals for Canada on the day. Josh Dueck of Kimberley B.C., also earned a silver medal in the mens downhill sit-ski. Mac Marcoux of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and guide Robin Femy of Mont-Tremblant, Que., claimed a bronze in the mens visually-impaired downhill. Dueck won his medal on the 10th anniversary of the freestyle skiing accident that landed him in a wheelchair. It was his second Paralympic medal after claiming a silver in slalom at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games. "This is fantastic," Dueck said. "Im really about performance, and I took a fast line down the hill and took some chances and I got pretty lucky. "I crossed the line and was thrilled. Second is awesome." Kurt Oatway, of Calgary and Caleb Brousseau, of Terrace, B.C., were fifth and sixth, respectively, in the sit-ski category. Also, the Canadian sledge hockey team opened with a convincing 10-1 win over Sweden. Anthony Gale of Brampton, Ont., and Adam Dixon of Midland, Ont., led the way with two goals and two assists apiece. The Canadian team returns to action Sunday facing Norway. Four years ago, the Norwegians nipped Canada to win the bronze medal in Vancouver. And in wheelchair curling, Canada, the defending world champion, earned wins of 6-3 over Great Britain and 5-4 versus host Russia. The Canadians take on Sweden on Sunday. Arendz was fourth midway through the race but shot clean in his second stop at the range to begin his successful charge to a podium finish. "The plan was to shoot clean and I was focused on following that, but I missed that one target just slightly," said Arendz. "I thought I had it but a twitch of the finger and I just missed it. "I wasnt far off. I told myself to fight hard on that penalty loop to get over the penalty and finish strong." The course was slushy because of the warm weather, which created challenges for Arendz. "It is so warm and not really winter-like conditions so the course was really slowing down out there," he said. "The guys in the wax room did a great job on the skis. "I will celebrate this one with them." Russias Alena Kaufman shot clean en route to winning the womens standing class race. Caroline Bisson of Ottawa finished 14th. Margarita Gorbounova, also of Ottawa, and her guide, Andrea Bundon of Regina, were seventh in the six-kilometre womens visually impaired race. Denis Potvin Jersey .

That was the key. We stayed with it, stayed focused, kept the pressure on.The loss spoiled a magnificent performance by Schneider, who made 41 saves.The winning goal came after Schneider made a close-in stop on Brandon Sutton. The Penguins kept the puck in the zone, and Despres shot from inside the blue line beat a screened Schneider.I didnt get a great look at it, Schneider said. I think he came one way and shot it back the other through a screen. It just got a piece of the post and went in. It was a nice shot.Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said Schneiders performance was one of the best he has seen by a goalie in a while.He gave us a chance to win, more than a chance to win, Lamoriello said. Its a shame he didnt get the win. Certainly the team would get the win, but he deserved a better fate.Marc-Andre Fleury made 13 saves for the Penguins, who fell behind 1-0 when Devils forward Steve Bernier scored on a wraparound 6:08 into the third period.New Jersey failed to tie its season-best, three-game winning streak. Pittsburgh won for the second time in seven games (2-3-2).We talked about that, the last couple of days, that most importantly, we had to stay with it, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said. We were playing our game. We played a good game. We didnt flinch after they scored. We did whatever it took to get the game-tying goal.But when (Kris) Letangs shot hit the post (with 7 minutes left), you have to wonder whether its going to be our night.Schneider stopped the first 37 Pittsburgh shots and seemed on the vverge of his third shutout of the season when Peter Harrold took a high-sticking penalty with 3:29 left in regulation.ddddddddddddThe Penguins needed only 18 seconds to tie it 1-1. Sidney Crosby, who had been stopped point blank earlier in the period by Schneider on a nice setup by David Perron, took a shot from the right circle that hit Schneider in the chest. Defenceman Adam Larsson couldnt clear the puck, and Kunitz fired the rebound into the net for his 15th goal.They kept coming, Schneider said. You have to give Pittsburgh credit. They put a lot of pressure on and took advantage of their opportunities late. We just couldnt get that extra goal or keep them at bay long enough.Bernier had given the Devils the lead with a goal that was aided by the leg of linesman Ryan Galloway.Berniers dump-in into the Penguins zone hit Galloway, allowing Bernier to retrieve the puck. He skated past defenceman Robert Bortuzzo, went behind the net, came out the other side and banked the puck into the net off Fleurys skate.Schneider kept the Devils in the game in the opening two periods, stopping 20 shots, including a breakaway by Sutter in the first and a backhander by Crosby after a sweeping move from the corner in the second.We have to be way better, we cant keep relying on Schneids and the other goalies to keep us in there the whole game, Devils forward Patrik Elias said. Were not taking charge. Were not skating well. Were just sitting back. We have to be hungrier tomorrow.NOTES: Evgeni Malkin of the Penguins missed his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. ... Penguins F Chris Kunitz played in his 700th NHL game. ...
