BUFFALO, N. Barry Sanders Lions Jersey .Y. -- Rasmus Ristolainen has just two goals this season. Both have been game-winners for the Buffalo Sabres.The defenseman scored 42 seconds into overtime to give the Sabres a 3-2 comeback victory over the New York Islanders on Friday night.I love to play overtime, said Ristolainen, who also scored in the extra period in Buffalos 4-3 victory over Edmonton on Dec. 6.Johan Larsson and Matt Moulson scored in regulation, and Ristolainen had his team-leading 19th assist to help the Sabres win their second straight game. Robin Lehner made 33 saves.We battled at the end and we found a way to win, Ristolainen said. We never give up and were having fun and we trust each other.Ryan Strome and Alan Quine scored for New York, and Jean-Francois Berube made 34 saves in his first start of the season.The Islanders have lost four in a row. They have had a lead or been tied entering the third period of each game.We play a good 40 minutes and the third period we kind of seem flat, Strome said. Its kind of been the downfall of our team this year, our third periods and finding ways to win.Ristolainen scored the winner on an odd-man rush, receiving a pass from Kyle Okposo in the slot and sending a wrist shot over Berubes glove.Ristolainen is the fourth Sabres defenseman to score two overtime winners in his career.Its good to get points from guys back there, and hes got a lot of poise, Okposo said. He makes plays and he creates offense, and you need that. Hes our No. 1 D-man for a reason.Okposo, the Buffalo points leader, was playing against his former team for the first time.It was strange, to be honest with you, Okposo said. So many times you play with those guys. I know exactly what theyre going to do. It was an odd game, an odd feeling.Moulson tied it at 2 for Buffalo on a power play 3:19 into the third period. Berube could not control the rebound from Evander Kanes long shot, and Moulsons backhand bounced in off the skate of Islanders defenseman Thomas Hickey.Thats kind of how things have been going for us lately, Price said. Its frustrating. Were playing well, cant seem to get the bounces in the third and overtime.Islanders coach Jack Capuano was pleased with his teams effort on the second night of a back-to-back, but said taking two penalties in the third period killed New Yorks momentum.Its frustrating to me that the guys worked this hard and they cant get the win, Capuano said. I was just hoping we could stay disciplined in the third period, and we didnt.The Islanders showed little fatigue from playing in Chicago on Thursday night, generating several early scoring chances against a Sabres team that was off for two days.New York had a 16-7 advantage in shots on goal in the first period and took a 1-0 on Stromes straightaway wrist shot with 6:52 remaining.The Sabres showed more urgency in the second and tied it 2:32 into the period when Larsson re-directed Rasmus Ristolainens shot from the point past Berube.Quine scored on a power play to put the Islanders back in front 2-1 at 6:39 of the second period. Shane Prince slid a pass across the crease to Quine for the one-timer.Both teams stars were shaken up during the game.Concussion spotters pulled Jack Eichel from the game after he was shoved head-first into the boars by New Yorks Johnny Boychuck late in the third period. Eichel took part in the ensuing power play before going to the dressing room. He returned before the end of the third period.Islanders captain John Tavares also left briefly in the second period after getting hit in the leg but was able to return.Game notes Sabres D Zach Bogosian (knee) sat out his 20th straight game. Bogosian and D Tyler Fedun (upper body) both skated Friday morning and one of them will enter the lineup on Buffalos upcoming two-game road trip, coach Dan Bylsma said. Fedun has missed five games. . Islanders F Casey Cizikas (upper body) did not play after getting injured Thursday night. ... Ristolainen has a point in five straight games, the longest streak of his career.UP NEXT:Islanders: Host Ottawa on Sunday night.Sabres: At Carolina on Saturday night. Calvin Johnson Womens Jersey .

Marvin Jones Jr Lions Jersey . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands. http://www.shopdetroitlionsnfl.com/lions...y-black-jersey/ . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. Sydney Kings captain Kevin Lisch sank a clutch shot in the final second to lift his team to a thrilling 79-77 win over the Cairns Taipans in a fiery NBL battle at Qudos Bank Arena.In a clash that had a bit of everything, the lead changed hands throughout before Lisch had the final say with his match-winning heroics.Sydney managed to overcome a poor shooting night (4/17 from three-point range) to claim their sixth win of the season and remain in top spot.The victory also avenged Saturday nights away loss to Cairns.Sydney were trailing 31-28 with just under four minutes remaining in the first half when American forward Greg Whittington was hit on a fast-break dunk attempt by Cairns centre Nnanna Egwu.That sparked plenty of pushing and pulling by players from both sides, while Taipans coach Aaron Fearne was also momentarily involved as he separated two players.The three referees reviewed footage of the incident and issued unsportsmanlike fouls on Egwu, Cairns forward Mark Worthington and Kings duo Jason Cadee and Aleks Maric.Play resumed and Sydney got their noses in front 39-36 at halftime, but Worthington wanted it known the Taipans werent backing down.We have an all in mentality, he told Fox Sports at halftime.We thought what Jason Cadee did was unwarranted so we went all in.Cairns had picked up where they left off from Saturdays win over Sydney, out-hustling and out-muscling the Kings for a 22-16 quarter-time leead. Austin Bryant Womens Jersey. The game all but ground to a halt for the first six minutes of the second period, as scoring dried up at both ends of the court.Thats when Egwus foul on Whittington sparked the melee that almost spilled over the sideline in front of the Kings bench.The Taipans came out aggressively after the break and scored the first 10 points of the third period.Sydney responded with a brief scoring spurt but they werent as suited to the slow pace as the visitors and were down 55-54 at three-quarter time.Lisch and Brad Newley top-scored for Sydney with 15 points apiece, while Nate Jawai led Cairns with a game-high 19.It got pretty fiery, Cairns coach Aaron Fearne said of the altercation.I didnt appreciate Worthington getting put in a headlock and held in a headlock. It was out of line.It was a pretty major scuffle but Id have to go back and have a look at the video and see if it was out of line and if it was dealt with the right way.Kings coach Andrew Gaze hopes his side learned something.In hindsight it didnt hurt us, and theres something to be said about flying the flag and bringing the guys together, the bonding and looking after each other, but I said dont do it again, Gaze said.It got the crowd involved. We dont want to see it in our game, but a bit of emotion and passion is OK. ' ' '
