| The Ottawa Senators are looking to find some consistency as they travel to Tampa Bay Thursday night, with the Lightning hoping to break out of their scoring slump of their own. Steve Grogan Womens Jersey . The Senators snapped a two-game slide on Tuesday with a 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers. They allowed the first two goals of the game, both on Panther power plays, before getting first-period goals from Joe Corvo and Erik Condra to even things up. Colin Greening had the go-ahead goal with 43 seconds remaining in the second period and Bobby Ryan added a third-period tally. Though Ottawa won for just the third time in its past nine games, it was a win that head coach Paul MacLean is hoping his team can build on. "Were showing signs of being consistent," he said. Craig Anderson made 30 saves and Clarke MacArthur had two assists to give him 10 points over his last eight games. The win improved Anderson to just 7-8-2 with a 3.42 goals against average this season, but he is 6-2-2 with a 1.42 GAA and three shutouts lifetime versus the Lightning. The Bolts won two of three versus the Senators last season -- winning both meetings in Tampa -- but the Sens have still won seven of the last 10 encounters overall. The Lightning have been shut out in back-to-back games and in three of their last five. Two of those have come by 1-0 decisions, including Tuesdays setback to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Tampa Bay failed to score against the Blue Jackets Sergei Bobrovsky, who left with 15:47 to play in the game, or Curtis McElhinney. The duo combined to stop 26 shots. "If youre not frustrated, something is wrong with you right now," said Martin St. Louis, who was robbed by McElhinney on a late chance. The Lightning have lost six of their last eight games overall and five in a row on the road. They are 4-5-1 since star center Steven Stamkos broke his leg. Tampa Bay, which was coming off a 3-0 loss at home to Pittsburgh last Friday, has not scored since Tyler Johnsons empty-net tally with 34 seconds left in a 4-2 win over Philadelphia last Friday. It has not scored against an opposing netminder since Victor Hedmans tally five minutes into the third period versus the Flyers. "If its not off the rush, were done," St. Louis said. "We have to be able to sustain offensive pressure." Ben Bishop made 20 saves versus the Blue Jackets and could face his former club tonight. Bishops only other meeting versus the Senators came on April 9 of last season, six days after he was traded to the Lightning by Ottawa for Cory Conacher and a draft pick. Bishop stopped 31-of-33 shots faced in the win. Kevin Faulk Patriots Jersey .ca NBA Power Rankings.

He is the longest serving catcher in Goldeyes history, having already spent five seasons with the organization. https://www.patriotssportsgoods.com/Womens-Sony-Michel-Inverted-Jersey/ . -- Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson couldnt hear himself amid the roar in Koch Arena, so he kept stomping on the floor in a fruitless attempt to get his teams attention.Graeme Souness has hailed Rangers manager Mark Warburton for the job he has done in helping the club gain promotion to the Scottish Premiership. The Englishman inherited a demoralised squad after Rangers promotion bid crumbled 12 months ago but he has quickly turned the clubs fortunes around and helped them clinch the Championship crown last week.The Gers won the Petrofac Training Cup on Sunday and head into this weekends William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final with Celtic on a high - a game you can watch live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 11.00am on Sunday. Souness is credited with revitalising Rangers when he took over as player/manager in 1986.The former Liverpool midfielder helped attract big-name signings from England such as Terry Butcher, Graham Roberts and Chris Woods, and laid the foundations for the nine successive titles they won from 1989.However, the landscape of Scottish football is much changed in the years since and Souness believes his challenge was much easier than the one which greeted Warburton when he arrived last summer. Rangers players celebrate beating Peterhead at Hampden Souness said: Hes had a far more difficult job than I had. There were so many things that worked in our favour at the time, such as the problems English football had.We could match any one of the English team for their spending power. English teams were banned from Europe, so we had lots of things going for us. That job was a lot easier for me that it was for Mark taking over at Rangers this time.I think he deserves a great deal of credit. I dont know the guy but I sat next to him at Wembley for the Norwich-Middlesbrough play-off game. I spent maybe 10 minutes talking to him but found him to be a very impressive, calm, nice human being. Hes done a great job. Celtic manager Ronny Deila Sundays clash with Celtic at Hampden marks Warburtons first taste of a Glasgow derby but he has been keen to play down the games significance in the build-up.When told Warburton referred to Sundays game as just another match, Souness said: Really? Well it certainly isnt. Its the biggest derby Ive been involved in.The Liverpool-Everton one is a friendly derby. The Galatasaray one with Fenerbahce is a big game but it still doesnt come near this one. Leigh Griffiths scores in Celtics previous mmeeting with Rangers last season Nothing prepared me for the passion and the enormity of this job. Drew Bledsoe Jersey. A lot of the enormity is in your own mind because you feed off the passion your supporters have for your football club. You absorb that and start to feel guilty when youve not done the best for them.So Mark must feel that. Hes been here long enough to realise what these two clubs mean to their supporters. Its greater here than anywhere else. And thats why its not just another derby.Celtic are currently eight points clear at the summit of the Scottish Premiership and on course to clinch their fifth successive title, but Souness predicts Rangers will give Ronny Deilas side a much closer examination than they managed in last years League Cup semi-final. Graeme Souness led Rangers to glory on and off the park Then a Gers team led by caretaker boss Kenny McDowall seemed relieved to escape Hampden after suffering just a 2-0 defeat.Celtic obviously start as the big favourites, Souness said at a press conference promoting Sundays semi-final.They play in the top league. The challenge for Rangers is to turn up and make a game of it. They didnt do that last year. Its the biggest derby Ive been involved in. The Liverpool-Everton one is a friendly derby. The Galatasaray one with Fenerbahce is a big game but it still doesnt come near this one. Graeme Souness Anything can happen in derbies but Celtic must start as the outstanding favourites. I want Rangers to do themselves justice.I would hope it would be closer this time. Rangers are better than they were last year. Are Celtic? Im not sure. Rangers certainly are but I dont think that means they are going to turn up and have an easy game.It will be difficult because Celtic are used to playing against better players every week, they are used to moving the ball quicker, having a quicker thought process. But its a derby game and Rangers have a big chance. This is not a foregone conclusion.Watch the Glasgow derby on Sky Sports 2 HD from 11am this Sunday.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.
