The Winnipeg Jets look to get back in a postseason position tonight and maintain their challenge for the Southeast lead when they face the division-leading Florida Panthers tonight at MTS Centre. Viewers in the Jets region can watch all the action on TSN Jets beginning at 8pm et/7pm ct. The game can also be heard live on TSN Radio 1290 and TSN.ca/Winnipeg. While the Jets are still very much in the race for the Southeast Division crown, they are also just one point behind Washington for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East. The Jets are coming off their first regulation loss of an eight-game homestand. Winnipeg began the stretch with three straight wins and took a 4-0-2 record into Mondays game against Edmonton, but the Oilers notched a 5-3 win at the MTS Centre, where the Jets are 19-10-4 this season. Lennart Petrell and Taylor Hall each posted a goal and an assist to lead the Oilers to the road win. Alexander Burmistrov and Nik Antropov notched a goal and an assist apiece for the Jets, while Ondrej Pavelec gave up all five goals on 25 shots in defeat. "We look like a tired team," said Winnipeg head coach Claude Noel. "We look like an emotionally drained team. And we looked like it from start to end." Winnipeg defenseman Zach Bogosian is expected to return tonight after sitting out the last seven games with an upper-body injury. With 21 points, Bogosian is tied with Tobias Enstrom for second among Jets blueliners this season. The Jets will play the eighth and final tilt on their residency when they host Buffalo on Monday. Florida has taken the last three meetings with the Jets after losing the series opener between the clubs on Oct. 31. The teams will meet one final time during the regular season when the Panthers host Winnipeg on April 3. The Panthers have tied a season-high with three straight wins and enter today leading Washington by three points for the division lead. The Jets are one point behind the Capitals in third place. Florida hasnt won four consecutive games since March 2-16, 2008. The Panthers also last qualified for the postseason in the spring of 2000. The Panthers posted their most recent victory Tuesday in Toronto, as Mike Santorelli netted a pair of goals in Floridas 5-3 win at Air Canada Centre. That was also the third straight road victory for the Panthers, who are 15-12-4 as the guest this season. Marcel Goc, Jason Garrison and Stephen Weiss also tallied on Tuesday for Florida, while Jose Theodore stopped 28-of-31 shots in the win. Florida leading scorer Kris Versteeg missed Tuesdays game with a lower-body injury and is expected to sit out tonights game as well. Versteeg, who is first on the Panthers in goals (22) and points (49), was expected to miss at least a week with the injury he suffered Sunday in Montreal. Panthers forward Tomas Kopecky is expected to return from a lower-body injury tonight after sitting out against the Leafs.

Ty Lawson Nuggets Jersey .C. -- Cameron Gaunce scored in overtime to lift the Texas Stars to a 4-3 win over the Abbotsford Heat in American Hockey League action Wednesday. INDIANAPOLIS -- Daniel Adongo is finally starting to feel comfortable with the Colts. Thats good: The Kenyan rugby star is about to play his first football game -- ever -- when Indianapolis faces Cincinnati on Sunday in a showdown of division leaders. Adongo has figured out the lingo and nuances of the sport, learned the proper way to put on pads and a helmet, and knows his place in the Colts locker room. Theres still more work to do, but the newly minted linebacker will get to show the whole football world how far hes come in four months. He will be primarily on special teams, but playing football for the first time in the NFL in a game with playoff implications? "I am excited," Adongo said Wednesday, one day after being promoted from Indys practice squad to the active roster. "As I said before and Ill reiterate it, my excitement is being subdued by the fact I have a task, an obligation and a duty to perform whats being asked from me for the coaches and my teammates." It was late July when general manager Ryan Grigson decided to take the plunge after a yearlong quest to find an overseas player who could help his team. Grigson gambled on Adongo, a Kenyan native and world-class rugby player who was big, fast and had a penchant for hitting. Adongo, surprised initially by the invite, made the flight to Atlanta, then hopped on a connecting plane to Indy and worked out at the Colts headquarters during a rookie mini-camp. Within hours, the Colts signed Adongo to a contract and two days later, the 6-foot-5, 257-pound football novice stood out when he reported to training camp in a pair of short shorts and soccer-style shirt. Back then, of course, some wondered if Adongo could cut it in the worlds best football league. There are few doubters left. "It was a stretch," NFL sacks leader Robert Mathis said when asked about his initial thoughts of Adongo succeeding. "I think hes made everyone believe." By some accounts, Adongo has become a major headache for the Colts offensive line in practice. And now that hes up to 270 pounds, he could create problems for opponents, too, if he gets into the game as a pass-rusher at Cincinnati (8-4). The Colts (8-4) are being patient, though. Rather than pushing Adongo into preseason games, they kept their secret under wraps as he got acclimated. Adongo started the season on the practice squad. But with Adongo showing steady progresss in practice and Mario Harvey, a key special teams player for Indy, going on season-ending injured reserve with a torn meniscus Tuesday, the Colts decided to give Adongo a chance.dddddddddddd Coach Chuck Pagano said he expects the rookie to play primarily on special teams and hes confident Adongo will make a difference. "The guy is a smart guy. We know from a physical standpoint hes very, very athletic. He can run. Hes big. Hes strong. Hes a tireless worker. Hes been a great pro," Pagano said. "Even though he hasnt played, hes picked up a ton. Our veteran guys, guys like Robert (Mathis) and the rest of the guys in the defensive room, have been tremendous working with him and mentoring him and bringing him along and helping his development to this point." One thing the Colts do know is that Adongo can hit. He began his athletic career playing for the Kenya Harlequins junior rugby team. Eventually, he wound up on the countrys U-18 and U-19 rugby squads. In 2006, scouts from the University of South Africa spotted Adongo during a tournament and a year later, he was attending the school. Then it was off to the prestigious Sharks Academy, and last year he competed in the Varsity Cup for the University of Pretoria. This year, he was playing for the Southern Kings of Super 15 Rugby when the Colts got in touch. Now, just a few months later, Adongos teammates believe hes ready. "Hes taken the language, the lingo, digested it and regurgitated that to the point now where he asks questions and we have to go back and look it (the language) up," Mathis said, smiling. "The last few months, Ive seen it every day in practice, whether its a spin move, a bull rush or whatever, and thats when you knew he was getting better." All he has to do now is prove he can play on game day. "Im still just getting comfortable with my movements in pads, and that type of stuff," he said. "Im not happy where Im at right now." Notes: Pagano said right guard Jeff Linkenbach would not play Sunday because of a partially torn quad muscle. He did not name a replacement but said the Colts would take a look at former starter Mike McGlynn, backup Joe Reitz and left guard Hugh Thornton. ... Starting cornerback Greg Toler, who has missed five straight games with a groin injury, did return to the practice field Wednesday. He is considered day-to-day. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
