What do you need to know about Tuesday nights big stories? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best.
Shaquille ONeal Jersey . This is where we say Morning, Joe.Worth the hype: At some point, the?Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid and the?Buffalo Sabres Jack Eichel will realize the impact they have on the league, especially the rare times when the top two picks from the 2015 draft play against each other. They dislike all the hype, but maybe one day theyll accept it and actually become comfortable talking about each other. Eichels standard line is its the Oilers against the Sabres for two points. The fact is, the entire hockey world pays attention when they face off, and thats good for the game. On Tuesday, it was only the second time theyve played against each other, and the game did not disappoint. Eichel assisted on Rasmus Ristolainens overtime goal to lead the Sabres to a 4-3 victory. McDavid had two assists for the Oilers. Buffalo improves to 5-2-2 in its last nine games, 3-1-1 since Eichel returned to the lineup after missing the first 21 games with a high-ankle sprain. He has three goals and two assists for five points.Isles win NYC battle: The New York Islanders are 4-0-1 in their past five games after an impressive 4-2 win over the rival New York Rangers. After rumors started to swirl that coach Jack Capuano was on the hot seat, the Islanders have been playing as a confident group and a victory over one of the leagues top teams proves it. Captain John Tavares, who scored only his seventh goal of the season?Tuesday, has had a frustrating season after leading the Islanders to a playoff series victory last spring. It could only get better for the boys from Brooklyn if they can get better goaltending on a consistent basis. For the Rangers, the injury bug continues to plague them. Rick Nash (groin) and Matt Puempel (concussion) both suffered injuries. The team is already without key players?Mika Zibanejad (broken leg) and Pavel Buchnevich (back). Plus, goalie Henrik Lundqvist doesnt have Henrik Lundqvist-type numbers in the early going as the Rangers are 4-5-1 in their past nine games.Simmonds is sizzling: Wayne Simmonds is a man on a mission. The Philadelphia Flyers?forward scored twice en route to a 3-2 overtime win against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. The Flyers have won six consecutive games. Simmonds has four goals in his last two games. Its evident that Philadelphia feeds off his production when hes playing strong in front of the opponents net, which has been the case, especially with his eight power-play goals. Overall, he leads the Flyers in goals (15) and points (26) in 28 games. Goalie Steve Mason has been playing on his head, too. He made 42 saves, improving his record to 5-0-0 with a 1.74 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage during the teams winning streak. The Flyers are for real.

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. The New Jersey Devils went winless in a two-game road trip through Florida. The Anaheim Ducks have started the season with three road straight losses.One of these teams will finally earn their first win of the 2016-17 campaign when the Devils host the Ducks at Prudential Center on Tuesday night.New Jersey opened with a pair of tough road tests against the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning, although there were signs of improvement from the two games. They earned a point in a 2-1 overtime loss while being outplayed by the Panthers, then played much better before squandering a 2-0 lead in a 3-2 loss to the Lightning on Saturday.It was more of what we needed, Devils coach John Hynes said to The Bergen Record of the Lightning contest. One of our objectives was trying to be a better team from the Florida game to (Saturday). I thought our process was better. The big thing we know is teams are going to push when youre up 2-0. We handled it well in the second half of the second period, once it got to 2-2. Weve got to find a way to stem the tide quicker.New Jersey will again be without the services of Sergey Kalin, the teams third line center that has been out due to an illness. He has just resumed skating but, according to the Bergen Record, is still a few days away from making his season debut.The Ducks will be the Devils third straight opponent that qualified for the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs, although they have looked like anything but a playoff team this season. Anaheim earned just one of six points through three games of their season-opening five-game road trip, and that came in a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday.
Custom Boston Celtics Jerseys. Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm, one of the best at his position in the league, remains without a contract. The restricted free agent has yet to come to terms on a new deal and, through three games, the team is allowing an average of 32 shots per game.Last season, Anaheim allowed 27.5 shots per game, the fourth-best mark in the NHL.We can measure our game by the number of mistakes that we feel we made that are correctable, Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said to the Orange County Register after his team lost to the Penguins on Saturday. And our teams not playing to the level thats required right now from our group. Simple as that.This is familiar territory for Anaheim, which opened the 2015-16 season 1-7-2 before winning the Pacific Division with 103 points. But coach Bruce Boudreau is gone, as is No. 1 goaltender Frederik Andersen, which means another turnaround is far from guaranteed.This is a new beginning, a new season, Ducks right winger Corey Perry said to the Orange County Register. You got to go out and you got to prove yourself all over again. Last year wasnt a great start. Everybody knows that. We dont have to talk about it.Its a tough road trip to begin the season. We need that first win to get us going and get the confidence up again. ' ' '
