(SportsNetwork. Lee Grant Jersey .com) - The Calgary Flames resume their playoff push on Tuesday night when they kick off a six-game homestand against the NHLs basement dwellers, the Buffalo Sabres. The surprising Flames own a one-point lead over the Los Angeles Kings for the second wild card position in the Western Conference and are just two points back of the third-place Vancouver Canucks in the Pacific Division. Calgary has not made the playoffs since 2009. The Flames were hoping to carry a nice-sized winning streak into the All-Star break, but instead had a four-game run halted with a 6-3 road loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday despite forward Sean Monahan scoring for a fourth game in a row. Joe Colborne and Mikael Backlund also lit the lamp, but Joni Ortios fifth straight start ended less than 10 minutes into the second frame as he allowed four goals on 11 shots. Jonas Hiller made 13 saves on 14 shots faced in relief. We were just not getting the breaks today, Ortio said. We had some good chances, an open net and it just wasnt going our way tonight. Ortio had gotten the call in each game since getting recalled from the minors when Karri Ramo sustained an upper-body injury. However, Ortio was assigned to back to the American Hockey League before the break and Hiller will start tonight. Hiller has not started a game since giving up six goals on 35 shots in a loss to Florida on Jan. 9. He is 3-2-0 lifetime versus the Sabres with a 3.02 goals against average and .888 save percentage. The Sabres resume a string of five straight on the road having lost a club- record 11 straight games in regulation. They are 1-14-1 in their past 16 games and last in the NHL with 31 points. Buffalo appeared in position to snap its skid on Jan. 18 in its final game before the break, taking a three-goal lead over Detroit in the first period. However, the Red Wings netted the next five goals and ended up winning a 6-4 decision. Tyler Ennis notched two goals and an assist in defeat, while Chris Stewart and Drew Stafford also scored. Jhonas Enroth yielded all six goals on 26 shots faced. That first period, we were proactive. We went on the attack, Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers told his teams website. We kind of had a no respect look to our team that we hadnt had in a while and come in the second, it seemed like we gave them too much respect after that. Defenseman Nikita Zadorov had two assists versus the Red Wings, but is not expected play tonight as the Sabres suspended him for his failure to report to the team on time following the All-Star break. Sabres general manager Tim Murray said that he expects the 19-year-old Zadorov, who missed Mondays practice, to join the club during its upcoming road trip through western Canada. Buffalo will visit Edmonton and Vancouver following this game before wrapping this trip in Montreal. The Sabres also are without goaltender Michal Neuvirth, who sustained a lower- body injury while working out during the break, but captain Brian Gionta is expected to be in action tonight after missing the previous 13 games with an upper-body ailment. Matt Hackett, meanwhile, was recalled from the minors to back up Enroth, who is 2-0-1 with a 1.99 GAA and .941 save percentage in three career encounters with the Flames. Enroth made 42 saves in a 4-3 victory at home over the Flames on Dec. 11, with Matt Moulson scoring twice and Ennis recording three assists. Monahan had a goal for the Flames and Ramo made 15 saves in defeat. Calgary has won four straight at home in this series, with Buffalo not picking up a road win over the Flames since Oct. 18, 2003. Andreas Pereira Manchester United Jersey . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency. Andreas Pereira Jersey . The premature end left 26 players still to finish the round in the Asian Tour event. Siddikur, who shot a bogey-free first round to share the lead with five others, eagled the par-5 first hole before bogeying twice and rebounding with six birdies.DETROIT - Shortly before 9 a.m. on the day after the worst night of his life, Rikk Wilde got the phone call from his big boss at General Motors.Yes, he committed a nationally televised, major-league blooper while presenting pickup truck keys to the World Series MVP. No, he wouldnt be fired. Now get out there and sell some trucks.The call, from Chevrolet Vice-President Brian Sweeney, had to be a relief for Wilde, who makes his living as a zone manager and liaison between GM and its Kansas City-area dealers.The Chevy leadership team called and told him he did nothing wrong. Its all good. Everyone here has his back, said Michael Albano, the brands top spokesman.GM had lined up Wilde, a lifelong Royals fan, for the postgame presentation because hes a good employee and loves baseball. There was hope that hed be giving the keys to a Chevrolet Colorado to someone on the home team. But instead it went to San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, who saved Game 7 by shutting out the Royals for five innings.Wilde had practiced for the moment, an effort to draw attention to GMs newest product, and brought notes just in case he forgot something.He did.When Fox Sports announcer Erin Andrews introduced him, he was sweating. As he started to say his lines, he became breathless. He stumbleed and had to look to his notes. Ashley Young Jersey. He ad-libbed a line that would bring guffaws on social media: It combines class-winning and leading, you know, technology and stuff, with Wi-Fi powered by OnStar.#Technologyandstuff was trending on Twitter, as was #ChevyGuy, with many comparing Wilde to the late comedian Chris Farley.ChevyGuy is the most hilariously awkward person ever, one person tweeted.Chevy really sold me on their new Colorados with that class leading technology and stuff and immediate recalls!!!, another tweeted, an obvious reference to GMs safety problems.But around 1:30 a.m. EDT, Albano said he noticed the sentiment starting to shift.We LOVE the #Chevyguy! Dont change a bit #Wildeman!, wrote one tweeter.We saw quickly the technologyandstuff tagline kind of take off and start to trend, Albano said. Thats when you realize that you have something there that you might want to embrace.GM got a bigger chance to promote its re-entry into the small to midsize pickup truck business because Wilde drew so much attention to the usually forgotten MVP presentation.Chevy even used the #technologyandstuff in a tweet from a corporate account, linking to an ad.He was on message, Albano said. The truck has technology and stuff. We will use that term and stuff. ' ' '
