RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres will meet three times in less than a month starting Saturday night at PNC Arena, with each team coming off different outcomes in games that were pushed past regulation 24 hours ago.The Sabres continued their good play recently with an overtime victory Friday night at home against the New York Islanders, while the Hurricanes saw their seven-game home winning streak end in a 4-3 shootout loss to Washington.Buffalo won the season series against the Hurricanes 3-0 last year and is 6-3-2 in its last 11 games.In general, the Hurricanes have had difficulties holding third-period leads, and that was the case again against the Capitals with Carolina allowing the tying goal with 6:04 left in regulation.Well be back in there again, coach Bill Peters said of the matchup against Buffalo. This loss (to Washington) wasnt for a lack of chances. We were pushing, we were aggressive, we stayed on our toes.Washington had just seven shots midway through the game, but then started to play more physical against a Carolina team that likes to skate and play fast.We want to compete and make them pay on the scoreboard when teams get physical with us, Peters said. When its physical lets dig in. Its Christmas time so its better to give them receive.Peters admitted that a few players were dinged up after the Washington game but hell likely go with the same lineup as he did Friday night, including goalie Cam Ward, who will be making his 19th start in the last 21 games.The nice part is we come back and do it again, Jeff Skinner said of the back-to-back scenario. We sometimes have gotten away from our game trying to protect the lead. We have to stay on the forecheck and keep doing good things.There are ways of making it easier on ourselves and finding ways to win games, added Jordan Staal.The Sabres, despite a slow start to the season, have the attention of Staal and his teammates.They are playing well and there is never an easy game in this league. Were going to need these points to keep moving forward, he said.Buffalo has been one of them more injury-riddled teams in the league but is now starting to get healthy.If you asked me at the 22-game mark I dont think we had gotten our identity of our team and how we wanted to play because of injuries to key guys, but weve played some good hockey and had some good games, said Buffalo coach Dan Bylsma. But here recently weve started to get some players back and youre seeing how our ream can play. Look at some of the games weve taken over. Thats really kind of getting to how were going to play moving forward. Taylor Clarke Jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. Fake Diamondbacks Jerseys . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. https://www.cheapdiamondbacksjerseys.us/968l-steven-souza-jersey-diamondbacks.html . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Stefan Crichton Jersey . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. Silvino Bracho Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Derek Holland has been a model of consistency for the Texas Rangers since coming off the disabled list.Even though hes only made two starts, the left-handers performance so far is a positive sign for the American Leagues top team as it tries to solidify its rotation behind Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish over the final five weeks of the season.Holland allowed a run and four hits with five strikeouts in six innings, the same as in his return five days earlier. The Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 2-1 on Sunday, taking three of four games in a series between division leaders.What we always talk about is being consistent and I want to make sure Im showing that, Holland said. I know its two games in a row. The way Im going to look at that is, whoop-de-do. ... Its good to live in that moment. Ive got to continue to worry about staying consistent.Ian Desmond and Jonathan Lucroy each had an RBI single for Texas, which has an 8 1/2-game lead over Houston and Seattle after both those AL West rivals lost Sunday. New left fielder Carlos Gomez made two highlight-reel catches, including a runs-saving grab to end the sixth against the last batter Holland faced.Holland (6-6) had missed two months because of shoulder inflammation before starting Tuesday at Cincinnati, a 3-0 loss.

Gomez was sprinting back and reaching over his head when he made the catch.We had a few chances, Indians manager Terry Francona said. (Napoli) hit his ball and Gomez made a nice play, but we didnt have a ton of chances.That was an inning after Gomez made a leaping catch with his glove extended as his body crashed into the left-field wall to rob Jose Ramirez of a hit.ddddddddddddGomez played his fourth game for Texas after playing in 85 earlier this season for the Houston Astros, who designated the two-time All-Star for assignment Aug. 10.He was the hero today, Holland said. I may have pitched a fairly good game ... those are two big, huge catches.RUN AFTER REVIEWDesmonds run-scoring single in the second came on the first pitch after Elvis Andrus had been initially called out on a stolen base. The Rangers challenged and Andrus, who went to second while Nomar Mazara struck out, was ruled safe on a replay review that extended the inning.NOTHING EXTRAThe Indians finished with six hits, and the Rangers had five. All of them were singles. It was only the third game in the 22-year history of the Rangers ballpark that didnt include any extra-base hits. The previous one was against the Los Angeles Angels three years ago.SCORING SLUMPThe Indians won 12-1 on Friday night, their only win in Texas.
