TORONTO - Richard Panik hopes to develop some more consistency with the Toronto Maple Leafs, who improved their forward depth by claiming the winger off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning.Its going to be a great motivation for me to play in front of those fans and just bring my A-game every night, Panik said Thursday on a conference call with Tampa Bay media. Theres a lot more pressure going there because its Canada and especially Toronto. Im just going to focus on my game and my next step is getting into the lineup and go from there.After making his NHL debut during the lockout-shortened 2013 season, the 23-year-old developed into a full-time NHL player last year with the Lightning and had three goals and 10 assists in 50 games.Panik became the odd man out in Tampa Bay after a less-than-inspired training camp and pre-season when Brett Connolly and rookies Vladislav Namestnikov and Nikita Kucherov emerged to make the team.Panik wondered in the final days of camp if this might be coming, especially when he wasnt in the lineup for the final exhibition game. Still, he was disappointed his tenure with the Lightning ended like this.I tried my best, Panik said. Even at the camp I tried to make the team, and it didnt work out.Claiming the 2009 second-round pick could be a smart gamble for the Leafs, who boasted theyd be better because of competition for roster spots not only in camp but during the season.Panik could fit on Torontos second or fourth line, possibly displacing Matt Frattin. With Brandon Kozuns speed game making him an interchangeable part up and down the lineup, the six-foot-one, 201-pound Panik brings a different dimension.Its going to be a new start for me and Im going to do my best to make the lineup in Toronto, Panik said. Im very excited about it.To make room for Panik, the Leafs sent wingers Josh Leivo and Troy Bodie to the AHLs Toronto Marlies.Those players will be available to the Marlies when they open their season Saturday against the Utica Comets, the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Marshall Faulk Jersey .Tzavelas opened the scoring in the 11th and Pereyra added another in the 51st.

Halak, 28, split his eighth NHL seasons between the St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals, compiling a 29-13-7 record in 52 games. Los Angeles Rams Jerseys .com) - Mike Conley scored 20 points with five assists to help the Memphis Grizzlies remain unbeaten with a 91-89 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Joe Namath Jersey . The Flames are in the midst of a six-game slide (0-5-1), their longest losing streak since an 0-6-3 skid from Jan. 11-28, 2010. They havent won since Nov. 3 in Chicago and most recently went winless on a three-game homestand.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Three weeks ago, the Kansas City Chiefs were charging toward the top of the AFC West.They had as much momentum as anybody in the league, winners of five straight.They had just beaten the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks.They also had barely heard of Latavius Murray.Everything changed over four quarters in Oakland, though. The Chiefs struggled through the rain against a team that had lost 16 straight. Murray needed only four carries to run for 112 yards and two scores before leaving with a concussion.And the Raiders squeaked out a 24-20 win that started Kansas City (7-6) on a disastrous three-game skid.Now, the Chiefs are in playoff peril as they prepare to face the Raiders (2-11) on Sunday.In much the same way their season did an about-face with their first meeting, the Chiefs hope to turn things around when the longtime rivals meet again at Arrowhead Stadium.We still got a chance, Chiefs defensive tackle Dontari Poe said. Long as we got that and were trying to push, were going to keep moving. Theres really never any pointing fingers.Maybe thats because there are more places to point than fingers to do the pointing.Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has been sacked 11 times in two games. Kansas City still does not have a touchdown catch from a wide receiver. Running back Jamaal Charles is banged up, as is tight end Anthony Fasano and linebacker Tamba Hali. The Chiefs run defence has been gouged by everyone. Their pass defence hasnt fared much better lately.With games still to go against Pittsburgh and San Diego, two teams also in the playoff mix, the Chiefs may be reaching the point of no return against the Raiders.The positive is there are some things we can do here to fix the issues, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. They are not things that we cant work out.The Raiders (2-11) could be an ideal get-right opponent, provided its the bunch that was whacked 52-0 by St. Louis two weeks ago and not the one that stunned San Francisco last week.Murray missed the Rams game while recovering from his concussion, but the break-out second-year running back returned to run 23 times for 76 yards against the 49ers.ddddddddddddWe missed him for that St. Louis game, but he came back last week, played in the game, did a nice job, Raiders coach Tony Sparano said. Hell be ready to go.With their season slipping away, the Chiefs insist theyll be ready, too.Here are some things to watch for in Sundays game.TRAINERS ROOM: Charles, Fasano and Hali all missed practice this week with knee injuries, and missing any of them would be a blow to the Chiefs. Charles is their most dynamic playmaker and Fasano helps to carve out holes for him. Hali helps to keep league sack leader Justin Houston from getting double-teamed. Next man up, weve got to go, Smith said.FAST CARR: The Raiders Derek Carr is coming off the best game of his rookie season, completing 22 of 28 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. He threw for 174 yards with a touchdown and no picks against Kansas City earlier this season.POWERFUL TRUCK: Khalil Mack may hit like, well, a Mack truck, but he hadnt been hitting the quarterback much until only recently. The Raiders first-round pick had his first sack in Week 11 against San Diego, and is coming off his first two-sack game against San Francisco. Thats the part of my game that Ive always thought about, he said, making plays in the backfield.SWISS CHEESE: Running backs have merely had to pick their hole against the Kansas City run defence lately. The Chiefs have allowed at least 100 yards rushing in six straight games, and at least 200 yards in two of them. Even without star running back Andre Ellington, the Cardinals still ran for 141 yards last week. They make plays, too. Theyre professionals, linebacker Joe Mays said. We just have to work on our stuff in practice and be better.GOING FOR TWO: Oakland will be trying to win back-to-back games for the first time since Weeks 7 and 8 in 2012, and win on the road for the first time in 10 games. Theyre calling it a revenge game. Were knowledgeable of that, Raiders tight end Mychal Rivera said. We know that and were going to come in with the same kind of mindset.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys From China Discount NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Online Wholesale Jerseys 2019 ' ' '
