The Calgary Flames try to extend the momentum created by a successful road trip into Tuesday nights home meeting with the banged-up Tampa Bay Lightning. Michael Taylor Jersey . The Flames began the season with a loss to the visiting Vancouver Canucks before posting a 4-2 record on a six-game road trip. They capped the swing with Sundays 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets and will play their next five at home. Dennis Wideman, Johnny Gaudreau and Mason Raymond all potted second-period goals in the victory over the Jets. Defenseman T.J. Brodie added a goal in the third frame and Jonas Hiller made 34 saves. Raymonds goal was his fifth of the season. Great second period. We came out strong, we came out with a great forecheck. We got a big power-play goal, Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. Brodie has three goals and seven points through Calgarys first seven games and on Monday signed a five-year contract extension. It seemed like a good deal, Brodie said on Calgarys website. The longer you wait there is always risks, too. Whether its injuries or having a cold slump or something like that. To get it out of the way now, it gives me a chance to relax and not have to think about it. The Lightning dont want to think too much about last nights 3-2 loss in Edmonton, the Oilers first win of the season. Brian Boyle and Brett Connolly scored for the Lightning, who have split the first two of their five-game road trip. Ben Bishop allowed three goals on 23 shots in the loss. We just werent making any plays, Bishop said. Every time we got the puck we just flicked it and turned it over and they took it back to us. The highlight of the game was the NHL debut of Tampa Bay forward Jonathan Drouin, the third overall pick of the 2013 draft. Drouin was recalled from the American Hockey League on Sunday after completing a rehab assignment for a thumb injury and was not expected to play, but was put into the lineup after Alex Killorn sustained an upper-body injury during morning skate. The 19-year-old Drouin had one shot on goal in just over 16 minutes of ice time, posting a minus-1 rating. After losing Killorn earlier in the day, forward Ryan Callahan suffered a lower-body injury versus the Oilers and is not expected to play tonight. Tampa Bay is already without defenseman Victor Hedman for the next 4-to-6 weeks because of a hand injury. Hedman had posted three goals and seven points over the first five games, while Callahan has three goals and five points in six games. The Lightning have won four of their past six versus the Flames as well as five of its last seven trips to Calgary.

Sopoaga hit the upright with his first shot at goal from 15 metres. He then kicked nine goals in succession -- two conversions and seven penalties -- before being replaced in the 62nd minute, three points short of the Highlanders record for most points in a match. Matt Wieters Jersey . -- Augusta James of Bath, Ont. http://www.baseballnationalsauthority.com/Adam-Lind-Jersey/ . The 40-year-old midfielder was put in charge on Tuesday when David Moyes reign ended after 10 months with the defending champions in seventh place in the English Premier League.FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Dorian Finney-Smith and Scottie Wilbekin werent about to let a little thing like injuries get in the way for Florida. The banged-up Gators, playing without leading scorer Casey Prather, overcame a host of ailments and earned an 84-82 overtime win at Arkansas on Saturday. They did so behind a career-high 22 points from Finney-Smith, starting in the place of Prather, as well as a timely jumper near the end of regulation from Wilbekin -- who scored nine points in overtime as Florida (13-2, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) completed its comeback. Prather, averaging 17 points, missed the game because of a bone bruise in his right knee, but he was hardly the only Gator affected by injuries. Wilbekin missed two days of practice this week with a sprained ankle, and centre Patric Young also missed time with a sore knee. Wilbekin finished with 18 points for Florida, and Michael Frazier had 15 and Young 10. Finney-Smith, starting for just the second time this season, added 15 rebounds -- including nine offensive -- while also connecting on three 3-pointers. "Youre going into this game not really knowing what youre going to get," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "... I think the one guy we, at least I tried to instil just a belief and confidence was in (Finney-Smith). Just to go, be aggressive, play through mistakes." The Razorbacks (11-4, 0-2) had a chance to all but seal the win with 17.1 seconds remaining in regulation, but Alandise Harris missed the front end of a 1-and-1 to give Florida the ball back down 66-64. Wilbekin answered with the game-tying bank shot with 2 seconds left for the Gators, who then took control quickly in overtime while snapping Arkansas 23-game home winning streak. "It means a lot to us," Finney-Smith said. "It tells you about our team. We play for each other. Any given night, it can be someones night and tonight it was just me." Ky Madden led the Razorbacks with a career-high 23 poinnts, hitting 5 of 10 3-pointers. Howie Kendrick Jersey. Coty Clarke added a season-high 16 points and 14 rebounds, but neither was enough for Arkansas -- which has lost two straight for the first time this season. "We just didnt finish the deal," Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. "We had opportunities at the free-throw line. We had some open shots we didnt make. We had some open shots we didnt make. "... This one hurts. Why? Because we felt we played well enough (to win)." Finney-Smith had nine points at halftime, and he continued to have the hot hand in the second half and overtime -- where he scored five straight points to put the Gators up 77-69. Following a pair of baskets from Harris, who finished with 11 points, the Razorbacks closed the Florida lead to 82-79 with 21.9 seconds remaining in overtime. However, Harris missed an inside attempt and Wilbekin -- who had nine points in overtime -- sealed the win with free throws with 5.4 seconds remaining. Michael Qualls, who finished with 10 points, hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to pull Arkansas within 84-82. "(Harris) didnt make the play, but we also didnt make the plays and execute and win the game," Clarke said. "So, its not on him but us." The Gators took a 23-22 lead midway through the first half after a floater by Kasey Hill, but Arkansas -- which hadnt lost at home since a 91-82 defeat to Syracuse on Nov. 30, 2012 -- responded with a 10-2 run to take its largest lead of the half at 32-25. Clarke, who had 13 points in the first half, matched his career high with three 3-pointers, and he put the Razorbacks up 64-57 with a free throw. However, Florida closed out regulation on a 9-2 run to tie the game -- eventually winning it in overtime in Bud Walton Arena, where the Gators lost last season. "We didnt want anything less (than a win)," Wilbekin said. "Us four seniors, with this being our last game here, we wanted to go out with a win."
