  Less than 24 hours after allowing a late lead to slip away before losing in overtime, the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night will face a stiff test at Prudential Center from one of the NHLs top teams. Jordan Poyer Jersey .The Tampa Bay Lightning, who have won five of seven to start the season and enjoyed a day off Friday while the Devils were losing to the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2, erased a 2-0 deficit in their first meeting with the Devils on Oct. 15 and earned a 3-2 regulation win.The Lightning have one thing working against them heading into this matchup -- right winger Nikita Kucherov is listed as day-to-day after suffering an injury in a 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. It was feared the injury could be serious, so even if he misses Fridays game against New Jersey, it still feels like the Lightning dodged a bullet.Its never fun to see guys not finishing games, defenseman Victor Hedman said to the Tampa Bay Times. Well see what the status is. Guys have an opportunity to step up and play more minutes. Weve been through this before. Thats what weve been known for the last few years, guys step up when other guys do down.The Lightning reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season without Stamkos for all but Game 7 of that series. They are one of the deepest teams in the league and can certainly survive a game or two without Kucherov, who has averaged nearly 30 goals per season over the past two seasons.The Lightning also have a wealth of goaltenders with Ben Bishop and Andrei Vasilevskiy in net.Bishop was a Vezina Trophy finalist last season and Vasilevskiy played well in his absence when he got hurt during the past two postseasons. Bishop played in Montreal on Thursday despite having his teeth knocked out in the previous game, so either goalie could get the nod against the Devils.In the time Ive been here, I dont think Ive ever sat here and said, This goalie is playing this way and I decide not to play him, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said to the Tampa Bay Times. Over time the last couple years with Vasy, weve tried to slowly put him in. Were trying to get him minimum one game a week.The Devils have a workhorse No. 1 goaltender in Cory Schneider who will be between the pipes after getting a night off for the first time this season against the Blackhawks. Schneider is off to another stellar start with a 2.00 goals-against average and .936 save percentage in six starts.The problem for the Devils continues to be scoring; in seven games, theyve only cracked the two-goal mark once.Against the Blackhawks, two goals appeared to be enough before right winger Marian Hossa scored late to force overtime and center Artem Anisimov won it.Devils coach John Hynes was upset with his teams decision making in the third period and overtime, something he wants fixed before the Lightning take the ice Saturday.We have to move past this one, Hynes said. We have to extract (the lesson). Thats really what I said tonight. The beauty of playing back to back is you have an opportunity to redeem yourself. Well take the lessons from this game and make sure we come out with a competitive effort like we did tonight and we got to get that smart part of our game in key situations to match our level of compete.Its a long season, and I think were going to get better at protecting leads and playing with leads, Devils left winger Taylor Hall said to NJ.com. Its not something that Im worried about. We can get a little more comfortable in those situations.Andre Holmes Jersey .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. Preston Brown Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.officialauthenticbillsshop.com/authentic-lesean-mccoy-jersey.html . Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt. The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. RIO DE JANEIRO -- A Belgian woman who won a 2012 bronze medal has become sick, the first Olympic competitor to fall ill after sailing the polluted waters of Guanabara Bay.Evi Van Acker reported feeling sick after Wednesdays races, the governing body World Sailing said. Her poor performances have put her at risk of missing out on a medal in the Laser Radial class.Her coach told the Belgian VRT network he believes Van Acker contracted a severe intestinal infection while training in Rio de Janeiro last month.Evi caught a bacteria in early July that causes dysentery, coach Wil Van Bladel said. Doctors say this can seriously disrupt energy levels for three months. It became clear yesterday that she lacked energy during tough conditions. She could not use full force for a top condition. ... The likelihood that she caught it here during contact with the water is very big.The poor quality of Guanabara Bay was at the forefront of the buildup to the Olympics. An independent study by The Associated Press has shown high levels of viruses in the water as well as bacteria from human sewage.Van Acker was evaluated by the chief medical officer and the Belgian medical team, World Sailing spokesman Darryl Seibel said. He added that this appears to be an isolated case and Van Acker is the only sailor who has reported feeling ill in the opening days of the regatta.Van Acker had a serious gastrointestinal infection a few weeks ago, the Belgian Olympic Committee said in a statement. She has not fully recovered. It makes it difficult for her to go through long periods of sustained effort. The committee said a physiologist is working with Van Acker leading to the next races Friday so she can get the most out of her energy reserves.Thursday was a day off for the Laser Radial fleet.Olympic officials have insisted that sailing on the sprawling bay is safe, and sailing officials have said competitors have taken precautions. Even Brazilian sailors have said theres no danger -- at least for those who compete there regularly.German sailor Erik Heil, however, was treated for several infections he said were caused by polluted water during a Rio test regatta a year ago. He sails in the 49er class in which the two-man crew is splashed the whole race. That class is also prone to capsizes. The 49er competition begins Friday.Van Acker, a favorite to returrn to the podium in Rio, has had consistently weak performances. Andre Reed Jersey. She was second and 12th on Monday, second and 29th Tuesday and then 16th and 15th in tough conditions on Wednesday. Shes 10th overall with four races left before the medals race. Although that would get her into the medals race, she has 47 points, currently 26 points out of medals position.As the games approached, most sailors tried to deflect talk from the foul water to the competition.Thats a shame, Denmarks Allan Norregaard said about Van Ackers illness. I dont have much comment on that.Norregaard had been outspoken about the pollution in Guanabara Bay, particularly the amount of trash in the water.Its a lot better now than it was, said Norregaard, who changed subjects and said the weather conditions on some courses are just not suitable for the games. ... Its scandalous.At a test event a year ago, sailors complained about the stench of sewage flowing into the harbor at the venue, the Marina da Gloria, just yards from where the boats are launched. That problem was fixed earlier this year when a new sewage system was installed to stop brown, untreated sludge from being poured into the small harbor.Seibel said that every morning World Sailings medical and technical officials evaluate the latest water quality testing data provided by the government to make certain conditions acceptable.The standard our team uses in assessing water quality is the World Health Organization standard for primary contact (even though sailing is classified as a secondary contact sport), Seibel said in an email. For every day of competition thus far, and in the lead-up to the games, the water quality has met this standard.Britains Giles Scott continued to lead the Finn class with finishes of 11th and first. American Caleb Paine of San Diego went 14-2 to jump into fourth, just two points out of the bronze medal, but was disqualified from the days second race after a protest and dropped to 15th. In mens windsurfing, defending gold medalist Dorian van Rijsselberghe of the Netherlands had finishes of fourth, first and first to power into the lead over Britains Nick Dempsey.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Stitched Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Jerseys NFL China NFL Jerseys Cheap ' ' '
