HOUSTON -- Giles Barnes and Boniek Garcia scored two goals apiece to lead the Houston Dynamo to a 5-1 victory over Chivas USA on Saturday night. Barnes recorded his second two-goal game of the season, and Garcia scored his first goals this year to give Houston (12-10-7) back-to-back wins for the first time since July 6 and 13. Will Bruin also scored for Houston. Eric Avila scored for Chivas (6-16-8), which is winless in 13 straight road games (0-11-2). The Dynamo recorded their season high in goals to solidify their hold on fourth place in the East two points behind third-place Montreal. Chivas USA was officially eliminated last weekend. Houston dominated the first half, and Barnes teamed up with Brad Davis on the Dynamos fifth corner kick of the half. Davis bent a perfect kick to the top of the penalty area, and Barnes jumped above the Chivas defence. Barnes flicked Davis feed down and into the net past Chivas goalie Dan Kennedy. Avila levelled the score in the 50th minute when he headed a rebound past Hall. Carlos Alvarez took the first shot, but it bounced off the near post and went right to Avila, who scored easily. The Dynamo responded four minutes later with Barnes second of the match. Ricardo Clark fed Barnes, who ran toward the net and drew Kennedy away from the post. Barnes slipped his shot into the net for his eighth goal of the season. Bruin made it 3-1 in the 63rd minute and Garcia scored in the 80th and 90th minutes -- with the second coming on a penalty kick. The Dynamo has never lost to Chivas USA at home, improving to 8-0-2 and outscoring them 21-3 overall. Houston improved to 11-0-3 when scoring first; Chivas fell to 1-12-2 when allowing the first goal of the game. NEW YORK -- New York Rangers captain Ryan Callahan will be sidelined for four to six weeks because of a sprained left knee sustained Tuesday night in a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators. Callahan, tied for second on the Rangers with seven goals, was injured midway through the first period and didnt return to the game. He was checked by Predators defenceman Victor Bartley, who swung around and kicked Callahans left leg into the boards. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said after the game that the injury was a second-degree sprain and provided the estimated recovery time.dddddddddddd Callahan was in pain on the bench and then went toward the dressing room 10:54 into the period. He played four shifts and totalled just 3:28 of ice time. He wasnt on the ice for either of Nashvilles two first-period goals. In 24 games, Callahan also has 13 points for the offensively challenged Rangers. He sat out the season opener following shoulder surgery and missed seven games between Oct. 19 and Nov. 2 because of a broken thumb. Callahan, signed through this season, can become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.
