As the Calgary Flames continue to thrive in the third period, penalty kill problems have plagued the Winnipeg Jets throughout their current rough stretch. In a matchup between Western Conference wild-card leaders, the Flames look to hand the visiting Jets a fourth consecutive defeat Monday night. Viewers in the Winnipeg region can watch all the action LIVE on TSN3 at 7:30pm ct, while listeners can hear the game on TSN 1290. Calgary (27-20-3) overcame a 2-0 deficit by doing all its scoring in the third period of Saturdays 4-2 win over Edmonton. Lance Bouma scored twice for the Flames, whose nine wins when trailing after two periods and 63 third-period goals are both league highs. Weve done it a lot this year, said Bouma, who has a career-high eight goals in his fourth season. We definitely have the belief in here going into the third period, whether were down by three or down by two, that we can come back in the game. A winner in six of eight, Calgary has recorded seven goals in the third period of those last two victories. I think the biggest thing is just confidence, Bouma said. Thats huge for us. Every game from here on in is going to be huge. Looking for their first playoff appearance since 2008-09, the Flames are three points behind wild-card-leading Winnipeg (26-17-8). One of Calgarys four goals Saturday came on the power-play, where its 2 for 9 in three games after going 4 for 57 in the previous 17 contests. Winnipegs last three opponents are 7 for 13 on the power play after Dallas converted half of its eight chances while handing the Jets a 5-2 loss Saturday. The Jets killed 19 of 20 penalties while winning the previous five in a row. Weve lost three in a row so you have to deal with that, said coach Paul Maurice, whose team has allowed five goals in each of the last three. Were slow on our (penalty) kill right now and thats a confidence thing. Winnipeg, which dropped a season-high four in a row from Oct. 11-19, drew 35 minutes in penalties Saturday - its third-highest total of the season. Its something that we need to get better at, said captain Andrew Ladd, who had a goal with an assist. At times, you try to wind yourself up as much as possible emotionally, trying to finish your check and (be) involved in the game. Sometimes, weve been taking it too far, so its something where we have to get better at walking that line and being more disciplined. Calgary scored once in the third period and went 1 for 3 with the man advantage in a 4-1 win at Winnipeg on Oct. 19. The Flames Mason Raymond recorded three of his 10 points on the season and Jonas Hiller made 34 saves. Hiller, who missed some time last month because of the flu, has a 1.35 goals-against average while winning two of his last three starts. Winnipegs Michael Hutchinson, who made 27 saves Saturday, has allowed nine goals while losing two straight since shutting out Columbus for his fourth straight victory. Teammate Ondrej Pavelec has a 3.36 GAA during a 2-3-2 stretch, and is 1-3-0 with a 3.55 GAA against the Flames. The Jets franchise has won two straight at Calgary since losing its first six trips.

As each game passes (each has played close with the exception of last night) it becomes clearer just how evenly matched these two teams are and how one mistake, or one bad inning, is likely to sway the result. Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys . -- Wide receiver Sidney Rice should be fully recovered from a torn knee ligament by the time the Seattle Seahawks start defence of their Super Bowl title, general manager John Schneider said Wednesday. http://www.cheapcardinalsjerseyselite.com/. On Saturday night, Winnipegs strong offense was again accompanied by some fantastic pitching which gave the Fish a commanding victory. Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Authentic . -- Josh MacDonalds second goal of the game kept his team alive as the Peterborough Petes edged the host Kingston Frontencas 6-5 in overtime on Friday in Ontario Hockey League playoff action.COPENHAGEN – It was bound to happen. With so many centres on the Canadian world junior roster some highly-skilled players were going to have to move. At Tuesdays practice it happened to be Jonathan Drouin, the third overall pick in last Junes NHL draft, and Connor McDavid, who is trying to become just the sixth 16-year-old to make the team. "We said earlier, when this all began, theres a chance when this all gets sorted that we have eight, nine centre icemen and guys have to get adjusted and McDavid may have to be one of those guys," head coach Brent Sutter said after the workout in Copenhagen, Denmark where the team has made camp this week. Sutter had McDavid on the left, draft-eligible Sam Reinhart on the right and Vancouver Canucks first rounder Bo Horvat in the middle on one new-look line. Drouin, who played left wing before shifting to centre with the Halifax Mooseheads this season, was back at his old position beside Nic Petan, Winnipegs second-round pick in June, and Curtis Lazar, who was picked 17th overall by Ottawa in the same draft. "I figured out pretty quick when I showed up here that theres pretty good centres here and they played there for a lot of years so, obviously, it doesnt really matter where they play me," Drouin said. "Not much different really. Ive been playing there [left wing] for so long." On Monday Drouin skated for the first time since sustaining a concussion on Dec. 6. That workout, however, was a short, more informal one with Sutter wanting to get the players legs going after a long journey to Europe. Tuesday was the first time Drouin, the only forward returning from last years squad, practised on a regular line. "With Petan not being a large specimen [5-foot-9, 166 pounds] we felt like having him and Drouin playing together, their skill and speed, would really be effective," said Sutter, "and only one of them could play centre so Drus certainly played the wing before so it made sense for us to have him on the wing right now." "I think me and Nic, we like to move the puck," Drouin said, "and Lasers a shooter, hes a big guy, a power forward a little bit and I think it should work pretty well." Unlike Drouin, McDavid doesnt have a history of playing on the wing, but didnt seem fazed by the challenge. "Im really excited about it," said McDavid, who has 12 goals and 38 assists in 31 games wwith the OHLs Erie Otters this season.dddddddddddd "Wing is a little different than centre obviously, but at the end of the day if youre the first guy back you got to play down low. Bo and I talked about it. We have three centremen playing on the same line right now so we all know what were doing down low and the wing." If McDavid makes the squad he will be lining up against players, who are not just older, but also more physically mature. Sutter points out that using the 6-foot, 182-pound McDavid on the wing should make his life a bit easier. "McDavid doesnt need to be the guy whos handling everything down low," said Sutter. "We could use a bigger body down low in our zone [6-foot, 203-pound Horvat], but ... theyre three natural centre icemen and they can certainly read off each other." The other lines at Tuesdays practice at Rødovre Arena in the Danish capital were: Taylor Leier - Scott Laughton - Anthony ManthaHunter Shinkaruk - Felix Girard - Charles HudonKerby Rychel - Frederik Gauthier - Josh Anderson And it seems likely most, if not all, of the lines will stay together this week as Canada holds two more practices before the first pre-tournament game on Friday against Finland. Sutters plan is to make the three cuts – four if defenceman Morgan Rielly is loaned to the team by the Toronto Maple Leafs – after that game. "You got to get some kind of continuity going," Sutter explained. "Guys got to get the feel for each other, get some chemistry with each other. If we can keep our lines, get them working together, that would be a good thing. You always try and work in pairs. Usually there are two guys on a line working together so when you get into game situations you may only have to move one guy around." Some pairings have emerged early in Canadas selection camp, which started Friday in Toronto. McDavid and Reinhart have been together during every on-ice session as well as Leier-Laughton and Gauthier-Anderson. Petan and Lazar have been together in two practices and were only split-up on Saturday, because Petan didnt dress for a scrimmage against a group of Canadian Interuniversity Sport players. "Wed like to have these guys get to know each other and get some chemistry and I think it shows each day in practice," said Sutter. "They seem to be getting better and better and used to each other."
