An influx of offensive-minded rookies has the New Jersey Devils off to a 2-0 start.

Jesper Bratt had two goals and an assist in his second NHL game and the Devils earned a 6-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday.

The Panthers tied the score at 2 on Bjugstad’s goal 1:46 into the second.

Trailing 2-0, the Panthers closed to 2-1 on a power-play goal by Dadanov, who buried a rebound from the slot with 7:42 left in the first.

The Lightning took a 1-0 lead 3 1/2 minutes into the game. A shot by Stamkos hit off the crossbar and Kucherov poked in the rebound.

Namestnikov put the Panthers ahead 2-0 with his power-play goal at Cheap Cycling Jerseys 4:48.

The 19-year-old Bratt, drafted by the Devils in the sixth round in 2016, has five Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Online points in his first two games.

“He’s a really good hockey player already,” said Johansson, who like Bratt, was born in Sweden. “He’s so young, he just got over here, and it’s fun to watch.”

It was the second straight game the Devils got three points from a rookie. Hobey Baker Award winner Will Butcher became the first Devils player to accomplish the feat in his NHL debut during New Jersey’s 4-1 win over Colorado in the season opener.

“We really made a statement that we wanted to finish the game, whether we win or lose, with a good vibe coming out of the game,” Patterson said. “I think offensively we were rolling. I think we feel a lot better than we did last week coming out of the second half. So we’ll look to build on that momentum.”

It wasn’t until the midway point of the second that Toronto picked up its pace and was awarded its first power-play opportunity after some sustained pressure by Matthews in the offensive zone.

The Leafs failed to capitalize on the man advantage, but Zaitsev put them on the board soon after, streaking in from the Blackhawks blue line and taking a pass from Brown before snapping the puck five-hole on Forsberg at 10:20.

Matthews nearly tied the game on a 2-on-1 rush five minutes later with a toe-drag into a wrist shot, but Forsberg stayed with him and got his right arm on the puck.

Swinney thought Cooper and Johnson both did well to keep the Tigers moving. Each might have to do a bigger job come next week.

Clemson (6-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat the Demon Deacons (4-2, 1-2) for a ninth straight time.

Bryant walked in a black, protective boot — complete with an orange Tiger paw logo — around his left ankle. “Got the win so I’m, great,” Bryant said with a smile.

He said he got hit on his ankle on Travis Etienne’s 1-yard Cheap Authentic Hockey Jerseys TD run.

Bryant’s 28-yard scoring pass to Deon Cain got the Tigers started. Etienne, a freshman, had 67 yards rushing along with his touchdown. Adam Choice added a rushing TD and Cheap China NFL Jerseys Cannon Smith added a 13-yard touchdown catch from third-string passer Hunter Johnson.

Gabriel Vicente’s 32-yard field goal as time expired lifted Murray State over UT Martin 13-10 on Saturday.

Murray State (2-4) tied it at 10-10 with 4:34 to go on a heads-up play by DeQuan Dallas. Austin Thomas turned a pass into a 48-yard gain but Julia Thompson-Clay forced a fumble that Dallas recoverd in the end zone.. On the first play of the ensuing possession, UT Martin’s Marquez Garyson coughed it up and MSU’s Lamont Crittendon recovered at the UTM 25.

Williams, 23, caught 98 passes for 1,361 yards and 13 touchdowns through 15 games in his final season at Clemson last year.

The 10-year veteran has played sparingly this season, with just two tackles and a sack. He was inadvertently kicked in his chin against the Colts and has been experiencing numbness in his arms this week as the Seahawks prepared to play the Rams Sunday.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said earlier this week the team is in a “holding pattern” when it comes to Avril’s future. Glazer said Avril is now mulling whether or not he wants to continue his playing career.

Avril, 31, has spent the last five seasons with the Seahawks after beginning his career with the Lions. He has 74 career sacks and had a dominant performance in Super Bowl XLVIII with three Best Cheap Jerseys From China tackles and a safety. Avril also provided the pressure on then-Broncos Cheap NFL Jerseys China quarterback Peyton Manning that resulted in a fluttering pass that was intercepted by linebacker Malcolm Smith and returned for a touchdown in Seattle’s 43-8 victory.

Ben Cheek threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to DarQuez Watson and Malachi Brown returned a blocked punt for a score as Presbyterian defeated Saint Francis 26-14 on Saturday.

A leaping Saint Francis defender had Cheek’s short pass to Watson graze his fingertips, Watson caught it, spun and sprinted to the end zone, his first TD of the season.

The Blue Hose (3-3) led 3-0 on a Brett Norton 35-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter and then tacked on two more five plays later as Saint Francis’ next drive ended with a safety as a fourth-and-2 snap sailed over punter Andrew Zecca’s head and rolled Jerseys Wholesale out of the end zone.

The defenses scored for each team in the second quarter — Brown’s blocked punt for Presbyterian and a Louie Gartner fumble recovery and 49-yard return to put the Red Flash (3-2) on the board.

Bear Fennimore passed for 185 yards and a TD for Saint Francis.

Although Dawkins was fired by Miller in May, multiple sources told ESPN that he was still working with Miller. He helped sign Justin Patton (Creighton) and Edmond Sumner (Xavier), who were both drafted this past June, and one source said that Dawkins was the point man through the NBA draft for Sumner. Both Patton and Sumner severed ties with ASM in the days after Dawkins was arrested.

The FBI’s allegations against Dawkins are potentially much more damaging. According to the U.S. attorney’s complaint, Gatto, Code, Dawkins and Sood worked together to funnel $100,000 to an unnamed high school player in early June, and Dawkins told the others that he did so at Cheap NFL Jerseys Paypal the request of a Louisville coach. “Player-10,” who is described in the complaint as a top recruit, is believed to be Brian Bowen, who played on Dorian’s Pride. Bowen, who left Saginaw and played at the La Lumiere School in La Porte, Indiana, signed with Louisville on June 5.

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is popularly known as The Swamp. And now the Florida Gators will look the part.

For Saturday’s game against Texas A&M, Florida will wear a new uniform designed to evoke the look and feel of an alligator. The uniform, which was under development for two years and was unveiled Monday night, features a “swamp green” jersey with an alligator-skin pattern. The helmet, pants and socks are rendered in the same color, but without the gator-skin treatment.

That will change on Saturday. When Iowa State visits Norman, it will be seeing nothing but red. The Sooners will throw in a crimson helmet as well.

What a wild time it was in college football 20 years ago. It was Peyton Manning’s senior season, but he lost the Heisman Trophy to Michigan’s Charles Woodson, the first-and-only defensive player to win the award. With Woodson, Michigan would split the national championship with Nebraska. Both teams finished the season undefeated, but because there was no magical College Football Playoff and it was a year away from the semi-magical Bowl Championship Series, the two never met on the field.

To celebrate their last national championship, the Cornhuskers are wearing uniforms designed to look as they did in 1997.

Last fall, several Michigan players raised fists during the national Cheap NFL Jerseys China anthem to protest inequality in the United States. Harbaugh said then he supported their right to voice an opinion.

Michigan also played a video prior to kickoff on Saturday night that featured several student-athletes and athletic director Warde Manuel asking fans to listen Wholesale MLB Jerseys to the opinions of the athletes they celebrate on the field and be open to having conversations about a variety of social justice issues.

Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen is still dealing with a shoulder injury suffered in a weekend loss to South Carolina but is likely to play this week against No. 1 Alabama.

Coach Bret Bielema says the Razorbacks are still evaluating Allen’s progress following the injury that caused the senior to miss the fourth quarter of the 48-22 loss to the Gamecocks, and that the quarterback could return to practice by Tuesday.

Allen entered the season as the leading returning quarterback in the Southeastern Conference in passing efficiency, but he’s struggled this season behind an offensive line that’s allowed more than two and a half sacks per game.

The Razorbacks (2-3, 0-2 SEC) have lost five of their last seven games dating back to last season, and they face the Crimson Tide on Saturday — followed by No. 10 Auburn next week.

Miller and Schoeppler settled their lawsuit on Sept. 15, 2016, according to court records. Terms of the settlement were undisclosed.

IMA also alleged that Dawkins “stole the credit card number for an American Express card belonging to IMA issued to Elfrid Payton, a client of IMA.” Payton, who played NBA Jerseys Cheap at Louisiana-Lafayette from 2011 to 2014, was the No. 10 pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2014 NBA draft. He was traded to the Orlando Magic on draft night.

In a June 2, 2016, letter to Payton, which was obtained by ESPN, Dawkins Cheap Jerseys 90 wrote that he never “stole your American Express card number, or any other personal financial information. The information was provided to me so that I could assist you and your family in making various travel and other arrangements.”

Dontrell Hilliard rushed for 175 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, Jonathan Banks threw for a score and ran for another, and Tulane routed Tulsa 62-28 on Saturday for coach Willie Fritz’s 200th career win.

Del Rio was also asked if the Raiders gave any serious thought to playing Carr against Baltimore after he sat out practice on Wednesday (he did non-weight bearing work in Wholesale Jerseys the rehab pool) but was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday.

“Really, when you deal with the doctors and availability and NHL Hockey Jerseys scheduling, with it being an away game, I would say tomorrow by the time we get on the plane would be a fair deadline,” McCarthy said Friday.

Adams has shown progression throughout the week and participated in individual drills in padding during Thursday’s practice. While there was a lot of uncertainty around how quickly Adams would recover, teammate Jordy Nelson said Adams was in a similar situation last year and has a history of recovering quickly.

“He can recover from those rapidly apparently, because last year he came back and played a Thursday night game,” Nelson said. “But it’s good to have him back out there. Like we said [after the hit], his health was the most important thing. Once that’s squared away, we love to have him back. He’s back and seems to be his normal stuff, running around and talking in meetings and stuff like that.”

So, lots to watch here. But the upshot is that if the travel schedules are going to matter in the NFC East race, the Eagles are set up to take advantage after Sunday’s win.

Some more thoughts on what we learned in Week 4 about the way things Cheap Jerseys Shop might set up the rest of the way:

The Chicago Bears’ plan was to give quarterback Mike Glennon this season and let Mitchell Trubisky spend the year getting ready. But Glennon didn’t hold up his end of the deal. He has committed eight turnovers in four games. The Bears are 1-3, with one impressive victory over the Steelers but a near-miss loss to the Falcons and a demoralizing prime-time blowout at the hands of the division-rival Packers.

Philip Rivers was terrible last week at home, and Los Angeles looks headed toward absolute free-fall. Everybody’s looking more at Carson Wentz and Philly as playoff sleepers, but winning on the road remains their hurdle. The Eagles’ pass-happy attack plays into the hands of Melvin Ingram, Joey Bosa and Casey Hayward. On the other side, Rivers should refocus and find several matchups he likes getting the ball out quickly against the visitors’ deficient secondary.

Yet another matchup of the team that played Thursday vs. the team that played Monday. Eventually, Carson Palmer will pick apart San Francisco’s secondary, but it will be a grind in the red zone. Former Cardinal Brian Hoyer makes a few plays late, but former 49er Phil Dawson ensures a quick Cheap Jerseys Team home bounce-back.

Younghoe Koo’s time with the Chargers is over after four games.

The struggling rookie kicker was released Thursday with the team signing veteran free agent Nick Novak to replace him.

Koo was just 3 of 6 on field-goal attempts this season, missing last-minute field goals in both Week 1 and Week 2. The missed kick in Week 1 resulted in a 24-21 loss to the Broncos and Koo’s miss against the Dolphins a week later came in a 19-17 home loss. The South Korea native initially signed as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Southern.

The Nevada Department of Corrections released a photo and video of his departure on their Facebook page. It was not immediately known who picked Simpson up or where he was headed after being freed.

The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners ruled in July that Simpson could be freed as early as Oct. 1. State prisons spokeswoman Brooke Keast told The Associated Press that Simpson’s release was timed to avoid media attention.

While Simpson said at his parole hearing that he intended to live with a friend in Florida upon his release, the Florida Department of Corrections has not received the required Cheap Jerseys Mall paperwork Cheap Jerseys Outlet Shop that would allow him to do so. Nor has the state of California, where Simpson’s sister, Shirley Baker, and oldest daughter, Arnelle, live.

Simpson’s attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, said he had no information regarding where Simpson will live, and that it’s up to Simpson to make relocation plans on his own.
