SUNRISE http://www.officialcoyotes.com/authentic-adidas-oliver-ekman-larsson-jersey , Fla. — The host Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning, who will meet Saturday night at the BB&T Center, have been relying on backup goalies a lot lately.For the Lightning, it’s Louis Domingue, a 26-year-old Canadian who is 9-4-0 this season with a 3.25 goals-against average and an .899 save percentage. He has filled in effectively for starter Andrei Vasilevskiy, who on Saturday will miss his 10th consecutive game due to a fractured left foot.A former fifth-round pick, Domingue was in the American Hockey League when the Lightning acquired him on November 24, 2017. The plan was to bring in Domingue to the organization as a third-string, emergency goalie.Article continues below ...But when Lightning backup Peter Budaj got injured, Domingue got called up to Tampa Bay and went 7-3-1 — the first winning record in an NHL career that started in 2014.Before the trade Richard Panik Jersey , Lightning scouts liked the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Domingue’s size and athleticism, and they have proven to have keen eyes.“(Domingue) has ended up making us look good,” Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois told The Tampa Bay Times. “He went beyond what we realistically could’ve expected.”Meanwhile, the Panthers have played most of this season without starting goalie Roberto Luongo, who is 4-3-0 this season with a 3.07 GAA and a .902 save percentage.Coincidentally, he injured his knee against Tampa Bay in this year’s season opener and is once again out due to a lower-body issue.James Reimer has stepped in for Luongo, producing a 5-6-2 record, including Friday’s 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres.Reimer made 22 saves, and the Panthers won on an overtime goal by captain Aleksander Barkov.Evgenii Dadonov and Jared McCann also scored Womens Shane Doan Jersey , and Jonathan Huberdeau added two assists, including one on the game-winner.This was the first time in a while that Huberdeau had been reunited on the same line as Barkov and it worked.“It was so fun,” Barkov said. “We haven’t played together for a while. It’s fun to play with a guy who thinks about the game the same way.”Huberdeau leads the team with 26 points, and Mike Hoffman tops the Panthers with 12 goals. Dadonov is second in goals (11) and points (24). And Barkov, who has nine goals and 22 points, is in the thick of the race for team honors as well.Nikita Kucherov leads Tampa Bay with 35 points, and Brayden Point tops the Lightning with 18 goals. Steven Stamkos ranks third on the team with 22 points, and he is likely due a breakout game at any time.This will be the third time this season the Lightning and Panthers have met. The host Lightning won 2-1 in a shootout in the season opener. That’s the game where Luongo got hurt the first time.In the rematch, Luongo was back in the nets, and this time only his pride was hurt as the visiting Lightning beat him and the Panthers 7-3.As for the standings in the Atlantic Division Anders Bjork Jersey , the Lightning (18-7-1) lead with 37 points, and the Panthers (10-10-4) are in the cellar with 24 points. GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers struggled to start the season and have seen one goalie after another go down with injuries.They kept battling and now are back to .500 after earning seven of a possible eight points on a just-completed road trip.Claude Giroux had two goals and an assist, Calvin Pickard stopped 35 shots and the Flyers beat the Arizona Coyotes 5-2 on Monday night.Once 4-7, Philadelphia went 3-0-1 on a swing through California and Arizona to get its season headed back in the right direction.“Tonight for sure wasn’t our prettiest game, but we found a way to win,” coach Dave Hakstol said. “There’s a lot of strengths that we like out of this road trip and there’s a lot of areas we can look at and try to improve as well.”The Flyers jumped on the Coyotes early, going up 2-0 after first-period goals from Giroux and Shayne Gostisbehere. Sean Couturier also scored and Oskar Lindblom added an empty-net goal to help the Flyers end Arizona’s five-game winning streak.“We probably needed a little more from a couple of guys, but the main part, I thought we battled back Bobby Orr Jersey ,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. “In the third period, we had our chances, they scored on theirs.”Pickard made his second straight start after Michael Neuvirth was placed on injured reserve and Brian Elliott was injured in a collision with teammate Travis Konecny during practice Sunday.Pickard was sharp most of the night, giving up Alex Galchenyuk’s power-play goal in the second period and Michael Grabner’s goal late in the third after giving up four goals in an overtime loss to San Jose on Sunday.“It’s good to get in a rhythm for sure,” Picard said after his fifth start of the season. “I’m starting to get more comfortable and I thought the last two were my best two so far.”The Coyotes went on a scoring binge during their win streak, outscoring opponents 24-7 over five games, including four straight games with at least three goals in the first period.Philadelphia had the jump early in this one, though, scoring midway through the first on a shot by Giroux from the blue line that goalie Darcy Kuemper had trouble seeing through traffic.Gostisbehere scored from near the same spot on a power play late in the period on a shot that caromed off Arizona center Derek Stepan’s stick past Kuemper.“It was a tough bounce,” Kuemper said. “Everyone’s trying to do the right thing and it kind of takes a weird deflection http://www.officialbruinsproonline.com/authentic-adidas-brad-marchand-jersey , but what can you do? You just have to keep working and get back into it.”The Coyotes did 64 seconds into the second period on a power play, when Galchenyuk wristed a shot from the right circle past Pickard, who was screened by Christian Fischer.Couturier put Philadelphia back up two goals, shooting into an open net from the right circle after Grabner collided with Kuemper and knocked him out of the crease.Giroux put the game out of reach with his sixth goal of the season in the third period, using a deke to beat Kuemper after a feed from Wayne Simmonds.“We’re happy about our road trip here, but we can’t be satisfied,” Lindblom said. “We have to come home and have a good stretch and build on this road trip, keep climbing in the standings.”NOTES: The Flyers called up Alex Lyon from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms to shore up their lack of depth at goalie. … Coyotes D Kevin Connauton returned after missing two games with an illness. … The Flyers have allowed a power-play goal in eight straight games. … Arizona’s run of four straight games with a short-handed goal ended.UP NEXTThe Flyers and Coyotes meet against on Thursday in Philadelphia.
