Columbus, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Lightning used a great start and six different goal scorers to extend their winning streak with a 7-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Lightning have recorded 27 goals on their five-game run and saw 15 players record at least one point on Saturday. Tyler Johnson scored two goals, Ryan Callahan posted a goal and two assists, and Evgeni Nabokov made 28 saves to pick up his second win of the season. Scott Hartnell scored two goals for the second straight night for the Blue Jackets, who are 0-7-1 over their last eight games -- their worst stretch since starting the 2011-12 season with the same record. Anton Forsberg was overmatched in his second career start and was pulled after giving up four goals on 15 shots in the opening period. Curtis McElhinney stopped 20-of-22 shots in relief. Ryan Johansen and Nick Foligno both scored in the first 5:10 of the third period to pull Columbus within 6-4, but the 4-0 hole the Blue Jackets dug themselves in the first period was too much to overcome. J.T. Brown chipped in his own rebound just 5:46 into the game, and Cedric Paquette, who scored his first two NHL goals in Thursdays win over the Flames, went top shelf 21 seconds later. Anton Stralman knocked in a rebound while on the power play at the 12:31 mark, and Brian Boyle capped the early onslaught 2:10 later with his fifth goal of the season. Hartnells power-play goals in the second stanza were each answered by Tampa Bay within two minutes. After his deflection trickled past Nabokov, Callahan restored the four-goal cushion at the 5:38 mark. Johnson answered another Hartnell goal with a power-play marker of his own, then scored on an empty net in the final minute of regulation.

Chase Edmonds Jersey .C. -- Clemson celebrated a senior class Saturday that brought the program back as a national contender. Christian Kirk Cardinals Jersey . "Back in 2011, when they announced that the game was coming here, we knew that it was going to be pretty important that we had a good year and hopefully could get into it, let alone win it, so I felt some pressure obviously within for sure," Taman said Monday, less than 24 hours after the Riders won the championship. http://www.azcardinalsfanspro.com/Black-...ey.html?cat=918. Yet coming off consecutive series losses at St. Louis and Pittsburgh, Los Angeles needed some sort of spark as August approaches. The Dodgers found it in the ballpark of their biggest rival, and left the Bay Area in first place following an emphatic three-game swing. Benson Mayowa Jersey .

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings are desperate for wins as they try to get into the playoffs for the 23rd straight time. On a night in which they barely beat the worst team in the Western Conference, coach Mike Babcock didnt diminish the importance of the much-needed victory. Tomas Tatar scored on Detroits third shootout attempt, and Jimmy Howard stopped all three Edmonton attempts to lift the Red Wings to a 2-1 win over the Oilers on Friday night. "Huge," Babcock said. "Howie, obviously, in the shootout, bailing us out was a real positive for us. "It gives us some confidence." Howard finished with 21 saves. Edmontons Ryan Smyth tied the game midway through the third period. Smyth scored on a shot from the slot that was set up by Detroit defenceman Brendan Smiths backhanded giveaway. "I absolutely didnt expect that," Smyth said. "I thought he was going to throw it around the boards. Smith just threw it up the middle." Riley Sheahan put the Red Wings ahead 1-0 late in the first period. They lost the lead and failed to take advantage of power plays late in regulation and midway through overtime. The banged-up Red Wings are missing numerous key players, including Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, because of injuries and that is forcing players such as Sheahan to go from prospects to NHL players. Sheahan, who played only once in the league in each of the previous two years, said playing 26 games for the Red Wings has made him more comfortable. "Every day is a little step further," he said. "The guys have been awesome. Its a fun atmosphere and a great team to play for." Edmontons franchise is far from the greatness it enjoyed decades ago and is close to being eliminated from the playoff race for the eighth straight season. Oilers coach Dallas Eakins, though, has been pleased with how much effort his players appear to be giving despite their place in the standings. "What weve been preaching to them and they understand, down the stretch aree the building blocks for training camp," Eakins said.dddddddddddd "We dont want to go into full-teaching mode when we hit training camp. We want to hit the ground running and have a foundation on how were going to play. On a lot of nights, were starting to see how we want to play. "We still have such a long way to go to get up to be able to play with the top teams on a nightly basis, but were taking the necessary steps." The last time the Oilers were in the playoffs they beat Detroit in the first round and went on to lose to Carolina in Game 7 of the 2006 Stanley Cup finals. With much less at stake, the Oilers went into the third period with a shot to win at Joe Louis Arena for the first time since 2009. Detroits young lineup didnt generate many scoring chances against Viktor Fasth, who made 22 saves. He was acquired from Anaheim earlier this month for draft picks and won his Oilers debut against Minnesota on Tuesday in a shootout. Each team had only one shot in the opening five minutes of the lacklustre game, which had many more sloppy moments than spectacular stretches. "I didnt think either team was real smooth," Babcock said. "It was kind of a grind." Detroit was up 1-0 after two periods and probably didnt feel comfortable after losing one-third of their previous 27 games when entering the third with the lead. The Red Wings allowed the Oilers to pull into a tie because Smith failed to clear the puck out of their end or at least pass it to a teammate, and Smyth took advantage. "If (Smith) puts it on the guys tape on our team and you skate out through the middle, I like it," Babcock said. "When you turn it over, it doesnt look very good." NOTES: Babcock said he hopes F Darren Helm, who has been out with a concussion since March 4, will play Tuesday night at home against Toronto. ... The Red Wings had lost two straight. ... Edmonton has lost three of four. ... The Red Wings are 13-0-1 in their last 14 against the Oilers, who have lost eight straight in Detroit.
