Central Coast coach Paul Okon insists his team wont be using their four-day turnaround as an excuse in Thursdays A-League encounter with Perth. Tony Parker Jersey .Okon on Wednesday hinted at possible changes to his starting line-up to counter the extra two days preparation the Glory had enjoyed for the fixture in Gosford.Maybe there is a little bit of fatigue but its part and parcel of it, Okon said.Well maybe look to freshen things up where we can and make sure our energy levels are high because Perth have had a couple of days extra to prepare for this.We wont be using that as an excuse. Im sure the boys will be up for the game.The Mariners have already been forced into one change following the automatic one-match ban for defender Liam Roses red card in Sundays derby draw with Newcastle.Harry Ascroft is expected to line up in central defence, while Scott Galloway returns from injury and rookie Reece Papadimitrios is added to the bench.The Mariners are second last on the table with just one win, but Okon is hopeful of using back-to-back home games at Central Coast Stadium to kickstart his teams lagging campaign.They first need to break a drought of seven straight defeats in Gosford.Its a really important game for us, most of all because were back home and we want to win our home games, Okon said.We have back-to-back home games - we have the Wanderers in 10 days time. Its important these two games we try and get as many points as we can.Perth are likely to keep the same match-day squad who consolidated fourth spot with a strong 3-1 win over defending champions Adelaide that included a brace from Andy Keogh.They would have anything up to $2 million worth of talent in their front third. Were aware of that. They had a good win at home, and theyre a good side, Okon said.Theyre physical; they know how to win football games. Its a tough game, but theres no easy games in the A-League, especially after a four-day turnaround.STATS THAT MATTER:* There have been 18 goals scored in the past four games between these two teams, including six in their most-recent encounter, with only one clean sheet in that span* Central Coast have attempted more than 200 additional passes within their own half than any other team this season, including a 90 per cent passing accuracy second only to Melbourne City* Central Coast are yet to concede a goal from outside the 18-yard box this season, though theyve conceded a joint league-high 13 goals from within it San Antonio Spurs Jerseys . Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. Dejounte Murray Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.spursteamprostore.com/Cheap-Derrick-White-Spurs-Jersey/ . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Washington Capitals have been giving up an average of two goals a game. The Edmonton Oilers have been scoring an average of nearly four a game.So, something has to give when these two teams play Wednesday night at Rogers Place. The date in Edmonton marks the beginning of a four-game Western Canadian road swing for the Caps (3-1-1).The Oilers go into the game on a three-game winning streak, including Sundays 3-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets outdoors at the Heritage Classic.The Caps spoke Tuesday about limiting the Oilers chances, controlling what the Oilers can do. The Oilers are a team that hasnt made the playoffs in a decade, yet one of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference is talking about damage control. It shows just how things feel very different in Edmonton right now.Caps coach Barry Trotz said it all begins with limiting Connor McDavid, who leads the Oilers with nine points in six games.Just like any elite player, with Connor, (theres) elite speed and skill. If you give time and space, even if you dont give him the time and space, hes still going to make some plays, said Trotz Were just going to have to try and control him, keep him in front as much as we can.But Trotz said its the depth of the Oilers that gets you. Of any of the skaters who have played this season, only two have yet to get a point.We made the comment as a staff that theyve got skill on the three lines, actually, the four lines, said Trotz. But they have one player whos a heavy sort of physical type player on each line.Theyre playing really good, theyre the top team in the league right now.Wait, were talking about the Oilers, right?Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen said his team needs to focus on shutting down the Oilers top linne of McDavid, Milan Lucic and Jordan Eberle. Rudy Gay Jersey. They have 19 points in the first six games of the season.Their team is off to a good start and I am sure they have a lot to do with it, said Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen. They have two really skilled guys and then Lucic is that up-and-down winger, straight lines. I think he probably creates some space for them by driving the net and being around the net.On Monday, Oilers goalie Cam Talbot was named the NHLs first star of the week. Hes already the second Oiler this season to get the honor -- McDavid got the nod after the first week of the season. Hell be staring down a Washington team that has just 13 goals scored this season, but an offence led by sniper Alex Ovechkin can explode at any time.Talbot said he expects Ovechkin to shoot, shoot, shoot. Every time the puck gets on his stick he seems to be putting it to the net. Ive got to be ready every time hes on the ice, but hes not the only weapon they have.Oilers coach Todd McLellan said its important not to get carried away by the Oilers early successes.Its still so early in the year, and were still a development-type team, a team that is growing. A growth team, thats what I called us before. Our club has a lot of work to do and were not, by any means, getting ahead of ourselves. Its nice to feel a bit of positive energy at the beginning of the year, where we havent had that in the past. Weve worked hard to earn that. But, theres way too much hockey in front of us.Look for the Caps to try some new line combinations Wednesday, including T.J. Oshie with Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson.
