BUFFALO, N.Y. - Steven Stamkos doesnt have to carry Tampa Bays offensive load given how the Lightnings second line is producing.With Stamkos held off the scoresheet, Ondrej Palat and his linemates combined to score three of the Lightnings four goals in the final 21 minutes to key a 5-1 victory over the banged-up and flu-riddled Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night.Palat scored the go-ahead goal and added three assists. Nikita Kucherov had two goals and an assist, and centre Tyler Johnson set up three goals in helping the Lightning reclaim the Eastern Conference lead.Since that lines been put together, theyve done some pretty magical things, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. When you start getting that chemistry going, hopefully the wins start to mount a little bit.The Lightning (24-11-4) won their fourth straight and moved a point ahead of both Pittsburgh and the New York Islanders. Tampa Bay rode the momentum of winning three straight at home and improved to 2-3-2 in its past eight road games.The Lightnings power play is starting to click again with Palats goal coming during a man-advantage with 58 seconds left in the second period. With Johnson drawing the attention of all four Sabres defenders along the right boards, he slipped a pass across to a wide open Palat, who snapped a shot inside the near post.They finished 1 for 3 with the man advantage, and have scored power-play goals in consecutive games after going 0 for 21 during a five-game drought.The win came at the expense of the depleted Sabres (14-21-3), who dropped to 1-5-1 in their past seven. Captain Brian Gionta (upper body) and defencemen Tyler Myers (lower body) and Rasmus Ristolainen (illness) were among the regulars not in the lineup.Tyler Ennis scored the lone goal in a game Buffalo was outshot 25-11 overall and 14-1 in the final period. A sarcastic cheer went up when Matt Moulson recorded Buffalos only shot of the third with 4:41 left in the period.Banged up, Flu. Head colds. Everything, Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. You walk in that locker room and thats all theyre doing is coughing and sniffing. Thats not an excuse. Thats just fact.Nolan couldnt excuse his team for the numerous defensive breakdowns that led to Lightning goals.Guys not scoring arent even checking, so thats a bad combination, Nolan said.The Lightning made up for a slow start in a game that wasnt decided until the third period.Brett Connolly and Kucherov scored 3:20 apart in the third, and Kucherov finished the rout with 1:55 left.It was just a weird game, Cooper said. It was like nobody wanted to take control of the game, and then that line did, and we came out on top.Connollys goal 5:20 into the third came as a result of a couple of fortunate bounces, and 9 seconds after the Sabres had killed a penalty.Stralmans slap shot from the right point hit Connolly in front, and the puck ricocheted off Sabres defenceman Nikita Zadorov, who was facing the net. The puck bounced back into the crease, where Connolly stuffed it inside the left post.Matthew Carle also scored for Tampa Bay.Rookie goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 10 shots in his fourth NHL game, a day after being called up from AHL Syracuse. He was filling in for starter Ben Bishop, who is day to day after aggravating a lower-body injury.NOTES: With Lightning D Radko Gudas day to day with a lower-body injury, Nikita Nesterov made his NHL debut after being called up earlier Wednesday from Syracuse. He was leading Syracuse defencemen with 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) in 32 games. ... Sabres D Tyson Strachan returned after missing five games with a lower-body injury. ...

DaShawn Hand Jersey . - First-timer Chris Harris Jr.With the 2014 CFL Draft set to take place Tuesday in Toronto, CFL on TSN analyst Duane Forde breaks down the top prospects. Today, he looks at receivers. 1. Devon Bailey (St. Francis Xavier) You Should Know: The former high school volleyball player is a two-time AUS All-Star.The Good: He uses his 64", 205 lbs. frame to his advantage by being physical with defenders and winning battles for jump balls.The Bad: He is still raw as a receiver and needs significant work to refine his route running skills. 2. Kris Bastien (Concordia) The Good: He is a playmaker, having led the Stingers in both receiving yards per game and touchdown catches in each of the last three seasons.The Bad: His production doesnt match his impressive physical ability. 3. Scott MacDonell (Queens) The Good: As a 65" receiver with sub-4.7 speed, he has a very large catching radius and, at 230 lbs., he can also play in tight end sets.The Bad: His strength will need to improve in order for him to take full advantage of his size. 4. Tore Corrado (Simon Fraser) The Good: Hes a two-time Great Northwest Athletic Conference All-Star kick returner and, despite not being a starting receiver, he has played a lot in the Clans spread offence.The Bad: Hes slight at 60", 175 lbs. and will need to get stronger to compete against CFL DBs. 5. Jordan Catterall (St. Francis Xavier) The Good: The 2010 AUS Rookie of the Year and two-time conference All-Star posted the second fastest 40-yard dash among draft eligible players at last springs East West Bowl.The Bad: Hes a smaller receiver at 510", 180 lbs., and is still recovering from a knee injury (torn ACL) that abbreviated his 2013 season. Other Contenders: • Alexander Fox (Bishops) – 57", 185 lbs; led the nation with 1009 receiving yards and 12 TD in 8 games last season; 3rd in CIS in 2013 with 21.5 yards per catch; 24 bench press reps, 4.64 forty at CFL Combine• Evan Pszczonak (Windsor) – 60", 180 lbs.; 1344 receiving yards over last two seasons ranks third among draft eligible receivers; topped CFL Combine with 40" vertical; also 3rd among CFL Combine receivers with 4.59 forty• Alex Pierzchalski (Toronto) – 64", 225 lbs.; led all draft eligible receivers with 51 catches in 2013; 4.82 forty, 14 bench press reps at CFL Combine• Kit Hillis (Saskatchewan) – 58", 175 lbs.;103 catches over the last two seasons leads all draft eligible receivers; led CIS with 132.8 receiving yards per game in 2012; 4.71 forty and 12 bench press reps at CFL Combine• Brian Marshall (Western) – 60", 200 lbs.;; only Fox (1631) has more yards over the last two seasons than his 1518; despite 4.dddddddddddd90 forty at CFL Combine, he leads all draft eligible receivers with an average of 20.5 yards/catch over last two seasons; 22 bench press reps at CFL Combine• Andrew Smith (Manitoba) – 61", 205 lbs.; 41.5" vertical at Edmonton Regional Combine topped all draft eligible players; hurt by 5.00 forty at same event; among draft eligible receivers, his 604 yards in 2013 ranks 4th and 18.9 yards/catch ranks 3rd Also on the Radar (alphabetically): Landon Buch (Regina); Alex Carroll (Queens); Mike Harrington (Concordia); Nathan Heather (Bishops); Francis Lapointe (Sherbrooke); Bryce Lawrence (Western); Jay Smith (Regina); Andrew Thibaudeau (Western); Troy Trentham (Mount Allison); Quincy Van de Cruize (Bishops / Westshore Rebels) Analysis: I suspect that, if you looked at the draft boards of all nine CFL teams, the receivers would be listed in nine completely different sequences. They were the most challenging group to rank, primarily because every prospect has obvious strengths...and equally apparent weaknesses. Like the O-Line, this group was also impacted slightly by the changes to the draft eligibility rules, which led to the reclassification to 2015 of Simon Frasers Lemar Durant, who wouldve been a potential #1 overall pick. Legitimate burners Bobby Pospischil (Simon Fraser) and Matt Uren (Western) were also reclassified. In the absence of Durant, there is no "total package" in the group so, even more than usual, where a team ranks a given player will depend upon what skills and physical attributes they value the most for their team or system. For my money, Bailey has the highest ceiling, as big, athletic body who relishes contact. He didnt need to run great routes to be successful in the CIS but those skills will improve as an adjustment to facing better competition on a daily basis, particularly on a team with solid veteran mentors. Bastien may be the most polished receiver at this stage, especially among the bigger targets, and that wont go unnoticed. Look for MacDonnel to garner some relatively early attention as well. Much like fullbacks, the demand for tight end bodytypes exceeds the supply, making them particularly valuable to any team with that specific need. If a team is looking for a non-import Z receiver (wide side WR), the smallish size of some of the top prospects may be less of an issue for them. Overall though, the lack of unanimity in terms of opinion could lead to the 2014 Draft being the third one in a five-year span where no receivers are chosen in the first round.
