EDMONTON, Alberta -- Connor McDavid wanted to start things right at Rogers Place, the new home of the Edmonton Oilers. Cole Irvin Jersey .McDavid scored two straight goals in the second period and had an assist, lifting the Edmonton Oilers over the Calgary Flames 7-4 on Wednesday night in the first game at Rogers Place.The night began with a ceremony where former Oilers greats Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier figuratively passed the torch to the 19-year-old phenom, the youngest captain in NHL history.The anticipation for this game was huge and the fans were excited and all the greats were in the building, McDavid said. It was an exciting night for our whole organization and it was a good way to start it.Im kind of happy its over. Ill definitely take a lot of good memories from tonight and move on with those.Edmonton led the season opener 3-1 after one period on goals by Patrick Maroon, Tyler Pitlick and Zack Kassian. Alex Chiasson had a first-period score for the Flames.Troy Brouwer and Michael Frolik scored in the second period to tie it 3-3, but then McDavid got goals with 7:43 and 5:27 left in the second for a two-goal lead -- the second score came on a penalty shot.First-round pick Jesse Puljujarvi scored for Edmonton in his NHL debut in the third period. Dennis Wideman had the final goal for Calgary, and then Jordan Eberle added an empty-netter.Cam Talbot stopped 37 shots for Edmonton.Brian Elliott made 21 saves in his first game with the Flames. Elliott was traded from St. Louis to Calgary in the offseason.It was kind of one of those nights where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, Elliott said. Thats not the way you want to start the season.The Oilers moved into Rogers Place this year after 42 seasons at Rexall Place.McDavid snapped a 3-all tie with his first goal, banking in a backhand shot. He then scored his penalty shot goal minutes later, approaching Elliott slowly and beating the goalie following a series of quick dekes.He was Connor. He was our leader. He had fire in his eyes, said coach Todd McLellan.The first shot in the new arena yielded the first goal when Maroon tipped Leon Draisaitls shot past Elliott 1:10 into the game.Chiasson scored 36 seconds later, swinging out from behind the net and then batting in his own rebound behind Talbot.At 5:34, Pitlick gave Edmonton two goals on two shots, ending a 2-on-1 break by beating Elliott up high.Kassian added to the Oilers lead with 4:48 left in the first, taking a long pass from Oscar Klefbom and making a nifty move to beat Elliott.Brouwer intercepted a pass and scored on a short-handed breakaway 8:26 into the second, and then Frolik capitalized on a turnover by Milan Lucic to tie it with 9:09 left in the period.After McDavids goals, Puljujarvi scored 9 minutes into the third on a power play. Wideman made it 6-4 with 8:31 left, but then Eberle scored into an empty net with 1:22 left.Game notes The 2016 first-round draft selections for both teams made their NHL debuts in the game, as fourth overall pick Puljujarvi dressed for Edmonton and sixth overall selection Matthew Tkachuk played for Calgary. ... Starting on Calgarys top line was veteran Kris Versteeg, who spent the entire preseason on a tryout with the Oilers before surprisingly signing on with the Flames.UP NEXTThe teams play again Friday night, this time in Calgary. Dallas Green Jersey . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. Jim Eisenreich Jersey . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. https:///...jersey-phillies.html . Spiller left Week 3s 27-20 loss to the New York Jets with a thigh injury, but fully practiced with the team all week and expects to be ready to go on Sunday.The duel between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic promises to be the dominant story of next week’s ATP World Tour Finals. On the line is not just a title, money and the prestige of victory, but also the right to start 2017 as the No 1-ranked player in the world. The stakes at this late stage of a year have seldom been as high.One man, however, is plotting a different narrative. Live Tennis: ATP World Tour Finals November 13, 2016, 12:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Stan Wawrinka has made a habit of ripping up scripts over the past three seasons and all of the signs suggest he is ready to do it again at the O2.His record at the event is not in itself outstanding and can be viewed in one of two ways: three successive semi-final appearances hinting at pedigree but a career record of six wins and six defeats suggesting vulnerability. Wawrinka has been a semi-finallist in each of the past three years The 31-year-old Swiss also arrives in London in poor form, after exits in the last 16 of the Shanghai Masters and the quarter-finals in Basel were followed by a meek defeat to world No 91 Jan-Lennard Struff in the last 32 of the Paris Masters last week.But Murray, Djokovic and the other tournament hopefuls should beware the wounded animal, because Wawrinka has proven in recent years to be a tennis alchemist capable of turning dreadful sequences of results into silverware at subsequent Grand Slams.He went to both the 2015 French Open and this years US Open on the back of a spree of abject performances and humbling defeats yet won both, and he wasnt exactly on fire in the build-up to his 2014 Australian Open triumph either.The problem for rivals is that, once he gets on a roll, he is near-impossible to stop. Not even pressure seems to affect him. ATP Finals: The groups Who will play who in the round robin at the O2 In fact, the biggest stages tend to bring out his best performances and all three of those Grand Slam final appearances - two against Djokovic and one against Rafael Nadal - ended in bludgeoning, three-sets-to-one wins.And it isnt just Slam finals where Wawrinka flourishes. His return of 15 wins from 25 career finals is not sparkling as such, but his 11 victories from his past 12 finals - stretching back to January 2014 -- is unparalleled anywhere in the sport, better than both Djokovic and Serena Williams. Bake Mcbride Jersey. Mark Petchey believes Andy Murrays group could not have been harder It would have been a perfect 12 in a row had it not been for a shock defeat to 19-year-old German Alexander Zverev in the final of the St Petersburg Open in September, an anomalous result that leaves his record in finals in 2016 at a still-impressive four wins and one defeat.New rankings-topper Murray will also be conscious of the fact that Wawrinka has won all three times he has faced the world No 1 in a final, so should the pair meet in next Sundays title decider, the in-form Scot may well be favourite in the bookmakers eyes but definitely not in his opponents. Wawrinka defeated Novak Djokovic in the final of Septembers US Open Murray, Djokovic and co must therefore hope that Wawrinka doesnt get that far, and Djokovic, in particular, will no doubt have been pleased to see him drawn alongside Murray, Kei Nishikori and Marin Cilic in what is considerably the hardest of the two groups.Whether they can conspire to knock him out remains to be seen, but one certainty over the coming week is that the finals will be about much more than Murray v Djokovic as long as Wawrinka is around.Watch every day of the ATP World Tour Finals, from November 13-20, live on Sky Sports.
