BARRIE, Ont. Wholesale Authentic Jerseys . -- John Tavares hopes the New York Islanders can follow a pre-season win with plenty that actually matter. Johan Sundstrom had a pair of goals as the Islanders defeated the Ottawa Senators 5-2 in NHL action Sunday at the Barrie Molson Centre. Kyle Okposo had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who built up a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back while Tavares and Justin Johnson picked up the other goals. The Islanders also beat the Senators 4-1 in a split-squad game in Ottawa on Sunday night. Tavares said his team was eager for the start of the regular season Tuesday. "Weve been looking forward to it ever since we got back to New York for training camp," Tavares said. "(The exhibition season) is part of the journey to get there and its been a lot of hard work, and weve got a few more practices this week. "But its great to be able to end it on a good note and reach this point." Matt Puempel and Cory Conacher replied for the Senators. Okposo opened the scoring for New York when his slapshot deflected off of Senators defenceman Joe Corvos stick and over the left shoulder of Ottawa goaltender Robin Lehner. The Islanders doubled their lead on the power play, as Sundstrom deflected Thomas Hickeys point shot past a partially-screened Lehner. New York pulled ahead 3-0 just 30 seconds later, when Justin Johnson fooled Lehner with a 45-footer that slipped between his right goal pad and blocker. "It was important for us to get off to an early start, but unfortunately, we didnt do that," Conacher said. "It was a rough game all around." Puempel put Ottawa on the board in the second period when he pounced on a rebound in front of the net. However, Sundstrom replied shortly after with his second of the night, blasting home a cross-crease feed from Joe Diamond. "(Weve improved with) a lot of the timing stuff and getting the rhythm back with your linemates in the system we want to play," Tavares said. "Its about getting all five guys on the ice working together as a unit." Tavares picked up his fourth goal in his fifth pre-season game in the third when he cut towards the slot and backhanded a shot past Lehner. "I think this is the most (exhibition games) Ive ever played, so its been helpful," Tavares said. Conacher rounded out the scoring in the third on a two-man power play, when Clarke MacArthur fed the winger in front of the goal. "Its been a long camp and we were playing the last pre-season game in the league," Conacher said. "Its definitely a different mind-set for some guys, but at the same time, you cant use that as an excuse. "You have to play the same way you always know how to play, and tonight, I dont think we did that as best we could." Although this was considered a home game for the Islanders, the crowd in Barrie was predominantly rooting for the Senators. "It was fun to (play) in front of this crowd here," Conacher said. "Its nice to play in front of different fans that you may have never gotten the chance to play in front of before." Anders Nilsson picked up the victory for the Islanders, stopping 15-of-16 shots in the first half of the game before being replaced by Kevin Poulin, who turned aside all but one of the 16 attempts he faced. Lehner made 33 saves in defeat. The Islanders went 1 for 4 on the power play, while Ottawa scored once on six chances with the man advantage. Fake Jerseys 2020 .

This has become the Raptors mantra as they embark on a new era with a new regime and, in the not-so-distant future, a new image.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs could be without their top two pass rushers for a while after Tamba Hali sprained his right ankle and Justin Houston sprained his elbow in a 41-38 loss to San Diego on Sunday. Neither player was in the locker room after the game, but Chiefs coach Andy Reid said both of them will have MRI exams on Monday. Kansas City plays the Denver Broncos, who beat them a week ago, in their crucial return game at Arrowhead Stadium next Sunday. "Im not making excuses," Reid said. "The next guy has to come in and step up." The Chargers (5-6) similarly could be without top running back Ryan Mathews for a while after he left the game with a hamstring injury. San Diego coach Mike McCoy did not disclose the severity of the injury after the game, though Ronnie Brown and Danny Woodhead fared well in relief. Houston was hurt while chasing down a play when Chiefs safety Eric Berry collided with his right arm. Houston was eventually helped off the field, his right arm kept motionless, and helped to the locker room in the waning minutes of the first half. Hali rolled his ankle while trying to get into the Chargers backfield earlier in the second quarter. He was helped from the field, loaded onto a cart and also taken to the locker room. "Its hard to think about it during the game because you have to move on to the next play, but its always tough losing that calibre of players," Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. "We have players that are backing them up that are more than capable of doing the job. Cheap Fake Jerseys Free Shipping. " Still, Frank Zombo and Dezman Moses arent quite as effective as Houston and Hali, and their absence was felt in the second half. Philip Rivers had plenty of time and wound up throwing for 392 yards and three touchdowns, the last one to Seyi Ajirotutu with 24 seconds left in the game. It was the eighth and final lead change in a wild game. "We just have to buckle down," Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. "You dont have those guys coming off the edge with that relentless force. We have guys who can step in and play, but we just know as a defence and a secondary we have to bring it." Houston came into the game third in the NFL with 11 sacks, while Hali was tied for fifth with nine. Hali needed two more to pass Art Still (73) for the third most in franchise history. The Chiefs, who had been healthy most of the season, already were playing without starting defensive tackle Mike DeVito because of a knee injury. Allen Bailey replaced him in the lineup. Right guard Jon Asamoah (calf and shoulder) and right tackle Eric Fisher (shoulder) also were inactive after getting hurt in last weeks loss to Denver. Asamoah was replaced by Geoff Schwartz and Fisher by Donald Stephenson in the starting lineup. "This is the National Football League. So when people go down, others step up," Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. "We didnt execute the defence as well as we should have. They have some good players on offence and they capitalized every time we made a little bit of a mistake." ' ' '
