CALGARY - Forty-eight hours after playing in his first all-star game, Johnny Gaudreau was back in Calgary and making the type of impact that earned the Flames rookie an invite to the NHLs gala weekend. Yeezy 350 Cheap .Gaudreau scored his 14th and 15th goals of the season on Tuesday as the Flames rallied in the third period to beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-1.Just being around the guys that were in that locker-room this weekend, its exciting for me to be a part of that, said the 21-year-old Gaudreau. Now Im excited for the second half of the season.Gaudreau moves into a tie with sophomore Sean Monahan for the team lead in goals.Im excited to help the team offensively. Playing with (Jiri Hudler), Im going to get scoring chances and Im bound to score some goals here and there, said Gaudreau. That pass he made in the third, thats just an empty-net tap-in. Ill take those.Gaudreau is one back of the lead for goals by a rookie, which is shared by Ottawas Mike Hoffman and Nashvilles Filip Forsberg.Joe Colborne and Josh Jooris also scored to help Calgary win for the fifth time in six games.Chris Stewart had the lone goal for Buffalo (14-31-3), which extended its team-record losing streak to 12 games.Jooris, with the eventual winner, gave the Flames a 2-1 lead at 9:05 of the third period Colbornes shot deflected off Buffalo defenceman Mike Weber to Jooris at the side of the net and he quickly fired in his 10th goal.Its all about being aggressive around the net. Josh is a good skater, hes hard-nosed player, said Calgary coach Bob Hartley. Look at his goal. There was a loose puck and there were many sticks but he was the one that found that puck.Jooris now has four game-winning goals, best on the Flames.Especially down the stretch, youre going to be seeing a lot more dirty goals, said Jooris. Weve focused on that the past couple of weeks and thats a big part of our game that we need to improve on.After Colborne made it 3-1, jamming in a rebound at 14:06, Gaudreau wrapped up the third period onslaught at 17:28 on a nifty feed from Hudler. Calgary outshot Buffalo 15-2 in the third period.I thought we did play well, said Buffalo coach Ted Nolan. But once they turned it up a notch, we couldnt keep up with them in the third period.The win moves Calgary, holders of the second wild card spot in the Western Conference, three points up on the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.The Sabres have lost 12 consecutive games, all in regulation. Thats a franchise record and the longest streak in the NHL since the Pittsburgh Penguins lost 13 in a row in regulation in 2003-04.Its frustrating. We played 40 minutes of good hockey and came out in the third and kind of just crumbled, said Stewart. We did have our chances and we just have to bear down. When they got their chances they put them in. That was the difference.The last regulation win by Buffalo came against the Flames way back on Dec. 11, a 4-3 win in which Calgary outshot the Sabres 45-19.Perfect road game. Good 40 minutes for us but it shows our fragility there going into the third, losing it mentally, sitting back waiting for something bad to happen instead of initiating and trying to force things, said Buffalo captain Brian Gionta.With three minutes left in the second period, Stewart had a great chance at the side of the Flames net to break a 1-1 tie only to be robbed by Jonas Hiller, who sprawled and kicked out his pad.Thats the difference, Hiller making those big saves. Thats the importance of goaltending, said Nolan. Stewart had what I thought was an empty-net goal and all of a sudden the pad comes over and makes the save.Hiller finished with 18 saves in his first start in six games. After giving up six goals in a loss to Florida in Calgarys last home game, he gave way to rookie call-up Joni Ortio, who started all five games on a five-game road trip in which the Flames went 4-1-0.Enroth stopped 27 shots in the losing effort.Playing its first game in nine days, Buffalo didnt have anything going early, taking nine minutes to register its first shot. However, after an offensive zone hooking penalty by Colborne, the Sabres 30th ranked power play went to work with Stewart scoring on a deflection after just 13 seconds.The lead was short lived as the Flames took advantage of their first power play of the evening with Gaudreaus goal at 13:40.It was the first power-play goal in six games for Calgary, which entered the night on a 4-for-57 tailspin over the previous 17 games to drop the Flames from eighth in the league to 23rd.We need to keep working at it. We feel we have the right people, its just matter of getting together, getting on the same page, getting a few goals, said Hartley. Penalty killing, power plays, it comes by waves and down the stretch, we need big specialty teams, its going to be crucial for us.Notes: The NHL record for consecutive regulation losses is 17, a mark shared by San Jose (1992-93) and Washington (1974-75)... Buffalo rookie D Nikita Zadarov did not play. Hes been suspended by the team for missing practice on Monday... Injured Flames LW Curtis Glencross (lower body) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday. He has missed four games...

The D-Backs came into being in 1998 and appear destined to finish second in the AL West after the Tsunami that is the Los Angeles Dodgers swept over them. I thought it might be interesting to see what the D-backs have done over their 16 years compared to what the Blue Jays have done over their past 16 campaigns.

Her return engagement begins tonight as TSN presents Day 1 coverage of the 2015 event from Melbourne. Watch Eugenie Bouchards opening round match at the Australian Open live tonight on TSN5 at 3am et/Midnight pt.LONDON -- Eugenie Bouchard and Milos Raonic set records as they became the fourth and fifth Canadians respectively to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon after straight-set wins on Saturday. Both had to wait out a rain interruption lasting nearly five hours before taking comprehensive third-round victories to join Carling Bassett-Seguso (1983, 1986), Patricia Hy-Boulais (1996-97) and Daniel Nestor (1999) as Canadians who made it into the second week of a major. Bouchard, semifinalist in Melbourne and Paris already this season, posted a 6-3, 6-4 defeat of German Andrea Petkovic. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., joined Bouchard in Wimbledons second week by beating Polands Lukasz Kubot in the third round 7-6 (2), 7-6(4), 6-2. He fired over 30 aces and 50 winners, breaking twice with just six unforced errors on the way to victory. "I was able to be dominant on my serve, I only lost nine points on it," said Raonic. "This definitely makes my life a lot easier and puts pressure on him. "But at the same time, I didnt really have my opportunities. I played a few good points in tiebreaks and he was able to of hold on." Raonic has won three straight Wimbledon grass matches for the first time, after doing the same at Halle, Germany in 2011 and 2012. "Im starting from very low comfort level on grass but now Im feeling pretty comfortable," said Raonic. "Ive made pretty significant progress on this surface this year." The 13th-seeded Bouchard, from Weestmount, Que. Yeezy 350 Store. , started her match in the early afternoon but found herself in the locker-room for nearly five hours after 15 minutes of play as rain wrecked the schedule. But the weather cleared up in the early evening with Bouchard and Petkovic returning to the court with the Canadian leading 2-1. Bouchard picked up where she left off, putting the pressure on a player who had defeated her in three previous meetings including the Rogers Cup in Toronto three years ago. She took victory on her third match point when Petkovic hit the net with a return. Bouchard produced 30 winners and 14 unforced errors, breaking five time in the match lasting less than 90 minutes. She next plays Frances Alzie Cornet, who beat top seed and five-time champion Serena Williams for the second time this season, winning 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a stunning upset. Cornet won their previous meeting on clay at Strasbourg last year. "I played well, even though it was straight sets it was a battle," said Bouchard. "It was tough with the lone rain delay, but it was the same for both girls "Im happy I was able to close it out with any serve, being aggressive and taking the ball early. During the rain delay I tried to conserve energy -- I wanted to give it all on the court. Bouchard said she didnt actually mind the wait. "Rain is part of the Wimbledon experience," she said with a laugh. "Weve been lucky so far, you have to have some rain at Wimbledon." ' ' '
