The Metropolitan Division-champion Pittsburgh Penguins will close out their regular season on Sunday night in a home matchup with the Ottawa Senators. The Penguins will head into the postseason as the second seed and will have home-ice advantage against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Pittsburgh was coming off back-to-back shootout wins before suffering a 4-3 loss in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Defenseman Kris Letang scored on a backhander with 36.8 seconds left in regulation, but the Flyers won it on Mark Streits goal with 2:50 to play in overtime. James Neal totaled a goal and two assists for the Penguins, while Jussi Jokinen also tallied. Marc-Andre Fleury ended up with only 17 saves in defeat. With nothing on the line, the Penguins sat defenseman Brooks Orpik and forward Chris Kunitz. Several skaters also could get a rest tonight, though captain Sidney Crosby still wants his team to focus on playing a good game. "I think just to follow up this performance from today. As a whole, we want to feel good about our game," Crosby said of todays finale. "I think there were some things from today that I think were good. For a game that doesnt move us anywhere, it didnt have a lot of bearing on us, we came with the right attitude, the right mindset." Letang, meanwhile, scored his first goal since Jan. 23 in his second game since returning from a 10-week absence while recovering from a stroke. "Im just trying to get back into it," Letang said. "The result is disappointing, but I think we played a good game overall. I think if we go into the playoffs that way, were going to win games." The Senators will not be going into the playoffs, but can end the campaign with a season-high fifth straight victory. They matched their previous best of four consecutive wins with Saturdays 1-0 decision over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Craig Anderson stopped 28 shots for his fourth shutout of the season and 26th of his career. Jason Spezza had the only goal of the game, blasting a one-timer into the net during a second-period power play for his 23rd goal of the season. "Were playing games that dont mean much in the standings as far as getting us into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which is what its all about," said Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean. "But at the same time, finishing our home schedule like we are is way better." Ottawa wrapped the campaign with an 18-17-6 record at home. The Sens are 18-14-8 on the road. The Senators have lost four of their previous five meetings with the Penguins as well as five of their past six trips to Pittsburgh. Discount Air Jordan 1 Australia .

Wholesale Air Jordan 1 Australia . - While a fast-paced offence has become more of a fixture in recent years, the San Antonio Spurs can still grind out games when needed.TORONTO - Chad Kackert may be a big-play threat capable of scoring from anywhere on the field but Toronto coach Scott Milanovich plans to ease the star running back into the Argonauts offence.Kackert returned to the field Monday, two days after ending his retirement to join Torontos practice roster. The 28-year-old retired on the first day of training camp to become the clubs strength-and-conditioning coach after suffering a broken left right ankle prior to the 2013 East Division final.Kackerts return is welcome news for Toronto (4-8), when begins a four-game homestand just two points out of first in the East Division behind the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-7) and Montreal Alouettes (5-8). The five-foot-eight, 206-pound Kackert was instrumental in the Argos 2012 championship run, earning MVP honours in their 35-22 Grey Cup win over Calgary.Milanovich has no timetable for Kackerts return but said it wont happen Saturday when Toronto hosts the Edmonton Eskimos.He feels good, hes very confident where hes at physically but Im just going to reserve judgement until I see him go through a week of practice and get his feedback as to how he feels, Milanovich said. If he goes through this week feeling good, then well start to evaluate where hes at relative to the other guys.Were trying to get him as much work as we can. We need to make sure he can handle the workload and pounding.Kackert wore his blue No. 44 jersey but took no snaps with the starting offence, instead lining up on the scout team.Its just feeling it out this week, hopefully get a little bit of contact and see how it reacts, Kackert said. Ive been running, Ive been doing my training just hoping to get the choice to come back because I honestly didnt know if I was going to get to a place where I was healthy enough to play football again.Thats why I retired.Kackert had to retire because he was nowhere near ready to play when Toronto opened training camp.I could hardly run at the start of training camp, said Kackert, who need surgery to repair the injury. I was limping for a good few months into the season but Ive felt a lot better lately.I had a talk wiith the doctor and he was saying, If you feel like you can play you should, because he didnt see any problem with it.ddddddddddddKackert has been a big-play running back during his three seasons with Toronto, rushing for 1,467 yards and 12 TDs on 228 carries (6.4-yard yard average) while adding 50 catches for 454 yards and two touchdowns. He was the Grey Cup MVP after rushing for 133 yards on 20 carries against Calgary on Nov. 25, 2012.Unfortunately, injuries have limited Kackert to just 24 regular-season games since signing with Toronto in 2010. But theres no doubt in Milanovichs mind what a healthy Kackert brings to the offence.Hes a home-run hitter, he gets a crease and can go the distance, Milanovich said. Hes got good hands out of the backfield and hes learned to be a good protector of the quarterback.His teammates love him. Just the way he plays the game, the unselfishness with which he does his job, the players respond to that and are pulling for him.Kackert would also be another big weapon in quarterback Ricky Rays arsenal, a potentially scary thought considering Toronto entered last weekends action with the CFLs top aerial attack and ranked second in total offensive yards. Defences have to spend a lot of time trying to defend what (Kackert) can do and its not all about trying to stop Chad Owens or (Andre) Durie or (Jason) Barnes or the rest of the receivers, Ray said. His thing is hes so explosive, over his career hes been able to bust out 50-yard touchdown runs and that really changes the game.Thats big in any offence but also in the passing game, throwing those balls underneath hes able to turn it up and make some big gains.A fresh and strong Kackert would further bolster an offence thats been getting healthier in recent weeks with the return of injured receivers Jason Barnes, Andre Durie, Spencer Watt and Chad Owens.Thats big for us, Ray said. To have our main guys back and healthy . . . makes a big difference for this offence.If we can stay healthy coming down the stretch and everybody improves week to week, we can be a team that goes out there and does some good things.
