The Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday begin a four-game trip that ends against the Western Conference leaders Keith Yandle Jersey , the Nashville Predators.There is no suggestion, however, that the Eastern Conference leaders are looking past the opener against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night, or the two games that follow against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers.The Lightning talked respectfully Monday about the skill the Sabres have.Article continues below ...“You’ve got (Nashville) ahead of us, you’ve got Pittsburgh, which has a couple Cups, you have an upstart Buffalo team that’s playing outstanding, so there is a lot of different type teams we are playing,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Monday.The Lightning (12-4-1) lost 6-4 to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday at Amalie Arena to end a four-game winning streak that followed a loss to Nashville.The Sabres (9-6-2) have win two in a row, 6-5 in overtime over the Canadiens in Montreal on Thursday and 4-3 in a shootout over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday at home.“Anytime you’re on road trips like this Authentic Nick Bjugstad Jersey , you try to get wins early, especially that Buffalo game,” Lightning right winger Ryan Callahan said. “Try to get points. Stack them up. As the road trip goes on, it definitely gets harder and harder to win some of those games.”After their game Tuesday, the Sabres will play their next three contests on the road against the Winnipeg Jets, Minnesota Wild and the Penguins.The Sabres said they are eager to test themselves against the Lightning.“Every team’s really good in this league,” Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton said. “I think any team on any given night can play really well and can test you. These are teams with winning records. We’re at home here then we’ve got to go out to a few tough buildings and play.“It’ll be a good experience for guys and I think for us, we can’t really get too overwhelmed with the bulk of the games. We’ve just got to keep what’s in front of us. We’ve got a challenge tomorrow against Tampa and we get our rest tonight and we focus for that, then we move forward from there.”During the third period Saturday, Sabres coach Phil Housley moved Sam Reinhart to the line with Jack Eichel and Jeff Skinner with Jason Pominville being switched to a line with Vladimir Sobotka and Evan Rodrigues. Based on practice Monday Vincent Trocheck Jersey , those lines should stay intact Tuesday.“I thought Reino was going well,” Housley said. “Reino’s played with Jack before, obviously. We’re just trying to find balance throughout our lineup.”The way the Sabres won their past two games only adds to their building confidence. They have trailed after the second period each time and came back to win.The win Saturday was particularly dramatic. Skinner scored with 2:27 left in the third period to cut Vancouver’s lead to 3-2 and Reinhart tied the game with 1:47 remaining.“It’s a good feeling to have that belief,” Reinhart said. “You’re going to run through adversity throughout the year and you sort of need to keep that belief. Things aren’t going to go your way, you’re going to have bad nights. (Saturday) I think wasn’t our best night, but we found a way to get the job done and get two points.”Lightning left winger Adam Erne, who missed the game Saturday with an upper-body injury, practiced Monday. Defenseman Anton Stralman, who also was out Saturday with an upper-body injury, did not skate Monday Adrian Kempe Jersey , however. Cooper said that he hopes Stralman, who is listed as day-to-day, will return during the trip.The Lightning got defenseman Victor Hedman back from an upper-body injury Saturday and he scored a goal.“He’s a huge part of our team,” Lightning defenseman Braydon Coburn told the Tampa Times on Monday. “He’s a huge part of our identity. He is a guy that just does so many things so well. He is the fastest guy out there. He is in every play. He is defending every puck. He is kind of an omnipresent person out there. And he’s a leader in our dressing room, so to have him back is really good.” The Detroit Red Wings will be looking for their first win of the season when they visit the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Monday.The Red Wings (0-3-2) are one of two teams, along with the Florida Panthers (0-2-1), still looking for their first win in this young NHL season.The Red Wings have lost their first five games of a season for the first time since 1980-81.Article continues below ...Detroit is coming off an 8-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday and have been outscored 23-11 this season. Their minus-12 goal differential is the worst in the NHL by four goals.The Red Wings had a meeting before practice in Montreal on Sunday.“I showed 19 (video) clips today,” coach Jeff Blashill told the Detroit Free Press. “Not one of them were clips where we didn’t have enough talent to win. That’s not the case. We have good enough players to win, without a shadow of a doubt. We have to make sure that we are doing the work and winning the battles that it takes to win.”Detroit center Frans Nielsen said the Red Wings made it easy for the Bruins and that’s going to have to change for the Red Wings to get into the win column.“They didn’t really have to work for the scoring chances they got,” Nielsen told NHL.com. “I think we basically gave them odd-man rushes against. We’ve got to do a way better job of managing the puck and being harder to play against. This is just so far from what we want to be.”Detroit goaltender Jonathan Bernier made 31 saves against the Bruins.Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser aggravated a hand injury against the Bruins in the first period and did not return. It is expected either rookie Dennis Cholowski or Luke Witkowski will play in his place against the Canadiens.The Red Wings will be playing the second game of a four-game road trip against the Canadiens http://www.officialislanders.com/authentic-adidas-mathew-barzal-jersey , who are off to a 2-1-1 start after coming back for a 4-3 shootout win at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.The Canadiens, who lost 3-0 to the Los Angeles Kings in Montreal’s home opener Thursday, trailed the Penguins 2-0 after one period. Tomas Tatar had his first two goals as a Canadien and Brendan Gallagher scored for the Canadiens against the Penguins to help rally them to the win.Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin, off to a slow start this season, scored the game deciding goal in the shootout and had his first point of the season, an assist on Tatar’s second goal. It was his 100th career assist.“We knew we weren’t playing the right way or skating,” Drouin told the team’s website of the Canadiens start against the Penguins. “We were going back to those bad habits from last year and not throwing pucks at the net. You look at those goals, they’re not pretty to be honest.”“I think the whole team, we pulled together, it wasn’t just our line http://www.officialislanders.com/authentic-adidas-nick-leddy-jersey ,” Tatar, who played with Gallagher and Phillip Danault, told montrealcanadiens.com. “Everybody played well since the second period, and we had a lot of pressure since the second period started and I think everybody deserves the credit.” Goaltender Antti Niemi, who started in place of Carey Price, who was given the night off because of the flu, made 25 saves and stopped Penguins stars Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby in the shootout.The Canadiens had the day off Sunday.
