The Philadelphia Flyers arent getting much right lately, but Vincent Lecavaliers scoring surge and the potential return of Claude Giroux are providing some hope. Wholesale Cheap Jerseys . With Giroux a game-time decision, Lecavalier will try to help the Flyers avoid matching their longest slide of the season Tuesday night against the visiting Ottawa Senators. Viewers in the Senators region can catch all of the action LIVE on TSN5 with at 7pm et or listen live on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa with coverage beginning at 5pm et. Philadelphia (14-18-7) has been outscored 19-9 during an 0-4-1 stretch after starting a season-high eight-game road trip with three victories. The jaunt also cost the Flyers some money, as the NHL fined them for violating the collective bargaining agreement by traveling during the holiday break. Players were barred from traveling or practicing Dec. 24-26, and Philadelphia reportedly took a flight to Nashville on Dec. 26 before losing 4-1 the following night to begin this slide. The Flyers concluded the trip by giving up the first five goals in Saturdays 5-2 loss to New Jersey. Lecavalier, however, has been a bright after spending seven games as a healthy scratch. The veteran center has five goals with one assist in eight games since after scoring twice through his first 17. He scored his first power-play goal Saturday but was also a minus-3. Its a lot more than what I had two weeks ago, Lecavalier told the teams official website of being back in the lineup regularly. The more you are out there, the more comfortable you are, the more you feel the puck. Lecavalier has six points in his last four meetings with Ottawa (16-15-7), assisting on a goal by Wayne Simmonds in a 5-2 win in the most recent home matchup Nov. 19, 2013. Giroux had a goal in that meeting, giving him eight points in 10 matchups at Wells Fargo Center. Its unclear if hell be available for this one after his stretch of 168 consecutive games played ended Saturday due to a cut on the back of his left leg by a skate during Fridays 2-1 loss at Carolina. Having Giroux on the ice for this four-game homestand could provide a spark since hes compiled 22 of his 30 points there. The venue hasnt mattered for Jakub Voracek as he leads the league with 48 points. Hes collected 12 in 13 career games against the Senators, scoring four goals while setting up another in the last four. Ottawa has dropped four of six after squandering a pair of leads to lose 4-2 to Tampa Bay on Sunday. Frustration showed in the third period as the Senators were whistled for five penalties, including a double-minor on captain Erik Karlsson in the final minutes. A lot of it comes from frustration, coach Dave Cameron told the teams official website. I think we allowed our tiredness and fatigue to become frustration. I can guarantee you that of the nine penalties, there were a few questionable ones. So how many did we actually take is somewhere in between. But at the end of the day you get pegged for nine so you take nine. Karlsson leads Ottawa with 27 points and has four in his last three visits to Philadelphia. Kyle Turris has three goals in his last four games against the Flyers, and hes scored in each of the last two overall while adding an assist Sunday. NFL Jerseys From China .Rookie coach Mike Pettines decision to start Brian Hoyer instead of first-round pick Johnny Manziel wasnt popular among fans, but the Browns are 5-3 and in the mix in the AFC North. Wholesale NFL Jerseys China . Beginning this season, teams will be permitted to challenge an on-field call once during each half of the game, for a maximum total of two challenges.JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Kevin Stadler teed off just after breakfast and finished right before dinner. It took him nearly 11 hours to complete a 7-under 64 at Liberty National, his lowest score on the PGA Tour since the first week of February. And he still isnt guaranteed to be the first-round leader at The Barclays. The FedEx Cup playoffs got off to a soggy start Thursday with two rain delays that lasted six hours. It was a start-again, stop-again day on the bank of the Hudson River, but that didnt stop Stadler. He ran off three birdies early, then returned from the second delay and threw in four more birdies on a soft golf course. Asked if it was difficult to stay mentally prepared, Stadler replied, "Im never really mentally prepared. Same as usual. It was all good." Tiger Woods, the No. 1 player in the world and in this playoff series, came out of the first delay by missing a short birdie putt on the par-5 13th and then rolling in three straight birdies to get into the mix. He cooled slightly after the slightly longer second delay, and failed to make birdie on any of the par 5s in his round of 67. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., also had a 67. Woods didnt mind the long day. He was more concerned about the next long day on the horizon. Only the top half of the draw finished the round. The later starters -- Ben Crane played only two holes -- were to resume the round Friday morning and then go straight to the second round. That left the top half facing extra holes on Saturday to get the tournament caught up. "Were done," Woods said. "It was a long day, and tomorrow will be a short one. And then Saturday will be pretty much a marathon." British Open champion Phil Mickelson and Masters champion Adam Scott were among those who didnt finish. PGA champion Jason Dufner had a 71, while U.S. Open champion Justin Rose recovered from a double bogey on the par-5 13th for a 68. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., opened with a 73. Camilo Villegas, who started the season with conditional status and is No. 110 in the FedEx Cup standings, ran off four straight birdies around the turn and was the only player to reach 8 under -- for now -- until back-to-back bogeys late in his round. He had a 65, along with Henrik Stenson and Ryan Palmer. "Three breakfasts, three warm-ups, two lunches and a bunch of birdies, which is good," Villegas said. Jason Day and Matt Kuchar shot 66. Day made two bogeys that kept a good round from getting away from him. His ball dropped over the rocks and into the water to the left of the fifth green, and he got up-and-down from there. On his closing hole, the par-4 ninth, his drive went deep into the bushes and forced him to take a penalty drop. Wholesale Jerseys. . He got onto the green and made another bogey. The rain allowed for some low scoring at Liberty National, which hosted The Barclays in 2009 and produced a winning score of 9 under. The course also went through significant changes to soften some of the landing zones and green complexes. Plus, there is virtually no rough. Nothing allows for low scoring quite like soft conditions, however. Nearly half of those who finished their rounds shot in the 60s. That group might have included Rory McIlroy, except for a few loose swings. He had three double bogeys and still managed a 71. McIlroy blasted out of a bunker and over the 15th green. His approach found the water on No. 5. And his tee shot on the ninth took a wicked kick off the cart path, over the bushes and a fence and out-of-bounds. "The rest of it was actually pretty good," he said. Stadler needed a good start. He hasnt had a top 10 since New Orleans in late April, and he started these playoffs at No. 87. Only the top 100 advance to the second tournament next week outside Boston, and the top 70 from there go on to the third event in Chicago. "Ive had a pretty lousy summer, but really started hitting the ball a lot better a couple of weeks ago and was looking forward to playing some golf again here recently," he said. "Finally got something out of it today." Stadler has not played in any of the World Golf Championship and only one of the majors -- the PGA Championship, where he missed the cut -- so this event feels like a big one. It also happens to have arguably the strongest and deepest field on the PGA Tour, particularly since everyone earned a spot based on this years play. "All those guys are here this week, so in that regard, its pretty cool," he said. "But its just another week." Stenson last year started the FedEx Cup playoffs at No. 117 and was gone after one week. He is one of the hottest players in golf, having been runner-up at the British Open, the Bridgestone Invitational and he was third at the PGA Championship. He is No. 9 in the standings this year, and his 65 on a long Thursday showed why. "I came in from Europe on Monday night, so Im a bit jet-lagged and I only saw the course once," Stenson said. "Im very pleased with the way I played out there and took advantage of some good shots. And it was a little bit of a shaky finish." He missed a short par putt on the par-5 eighth hole and had to make a 6-footer for par on the last. "Got some good practice of night golf, because thats what we are going to have tomorrow night when we start our second round, I guess," he said.
