TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Lightning and New Jersey Devils meet for the third and final time this season Saturday -- all in the first month of the season -- and after splitting the first two meetings, Tampa Bay might want to try a different start.In both a 3-2 win in Tampa three weeks ago and a 3-1 loss on the road last weekend, the Lightning opened the game down 2-0 to the Devils after one period, an early struggle thats been a regular part of the Lightnings season so far. Theyre 6-4-1, but theyve given up the first goal in seven of those 11 games.Clearly, its troublesome, said Lightning coach Jon Cooper after another 2-0 deficit in Thursdays home shootout loss to the Bruins -- in the 10th frame of the shootout. We fell down (Thursday) but I didnt think we should have been down 2-0. When they got their legs under them, they played well enough to win.The Lightning had returned home after a six-game road trip, and they enter Saturdays home game with a 1-3-1 mark in their last five games. The Devils, on the other hand, have earned points in five straight, with a 3-0-2 mark that now has them at 4-2-3 and two points (and two games played) behind the Lightning.New Jersey found itself down two goals on Thursday, rallying back to salvage a point in an overtime loss to the Panthers, and again, the message was to not dig such a hole in the first place.Youve got to be able to come from behind in games, and to find a way to get a point down two, thats a lot of positives to take out of that, coach John Hynes said after the Panthers game. It builds some belief that you can do that, but its not a recipe you want to replicate.New Jersey ranks fourth in the NHL with a 2.22 goals-against average, well ahead of Tampa Bay, which ranks 20th at 3.00. The Lightning have a great margin on the offensive end, averaging 3.18 goals per game compared to 2.33 goals for the Devils.Tampa Bays power play has been a strength, ranking third in the NHL with a 26.7 percent success rate -- the Lightnings penalty kill unit also ranks sixth in the league, stopping 88 percent of opposing power plays.One upside to Thursdays shootout loss for the Lightning was a spark from forward Tyler Johnson, who scored twice, matching his total scoring from Tampa Bays first 10 games. Getting him back in rhythm will help avoid the early dry spells that have been a problem in the Lightnings first month of the season.The two teams wont play again this season, getting their series out of the way early, and Saturdays winner will have bragging rights, at least until the postseason, where they could meet again.

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. Hot on a 15-game winning streak, the Cronulla Sharks are creating history. But for Chris Heighington, it might all just be a little bit of history repeating for the premiership-winning forward.Heighington played a vital role in the Wests Tigers magical run to a fairytale premiership in 2005. Given no hope of even making the finals, the Tigers were one of the greatest and most endearing Cinderella stories in sporting fable, as they embarked on an unlikely eight-game win streak before their unforgettable grand final win.For Heighington, there is a striking resemblance to that Tigers premiership side and his current team at the top of the NRL ladder that is desperate to finally break their maiden-premiership drought.I definitely (see the similarities) with the youth in the team, Heighington told ESPN.Back in 2005 at the Tigers, we had Robbie (Farah), Benji (Marshall), Liam (Fulton), Bryce Gibbs and myself. We had a lot of young guys and a few senior guys.[We were] obviously winning a few in a row and being confident. With the Tigers we hit the finals series on fire and then beat the Cowboys by 50-6 in the first week of the finals.Were not quite there with the Sharks yet. Weve still got six games to go but theres definitely the same sort of confidence within the team as there was with the Tigers.Theres been strong suggestions that Cronulla need a loss before the finals. Heighington himself knows from experience what a loss could mean for the Sharks.[At the Tigers in 2005], we won eight in a row and then we lost the final two games of the regular season, Heighington said.We actually lost a bit of confidence in those losses. We lost our way a bit and we were soul searching in the early part of the week going into the first week of the finals against North Queensland.It wasnt ideal losing those two games but it brought us back a bit and probably simplified our game a little bit, and we ended up coming away with another four wins to win the premiership.ddddddddddddIn saying that, to be honest, I dont think you have to lose a game along the way. Like who says you have to lose one? Who says you have to win them all? We can do whatever we want.If we make the Grand Final, then we make the Grand Final but were definitely not going to try drop a game or anything like that. Were just going to keep doing our thing to win every game.While theyre in the midst of potentially breaking the longest win streak since the Roosters 19-game haul in 1975, the Sharks are doing their best not to pay attention to it and focus on their upcoming opponent.We try not to, we dont really talk about it, Heighington said. We just try to get everything done and preparations to put in our best performance we can possibly put in. If it happens not to work out against the Titans, what can you do? But were definitely ticking every box possible to keep winning games.Along with Luke Lewis and James Maloney, Heighington isnt the only player who is desperate to repeat his grand final success and share the glory with a yearning fanbase craving its long-coveted first premiership.You try not to think about it (the fanbase) too much, Heighington said. Back in 2005, it all happened so quickly. I was so young at the time. Three games into a finals series and then were in the grand final and won it. You definitely want to do it for the fans and theyve been enjoying coming to watch us play and weve been enjoying playing in front of them. Youd love to get the job done for the fans.For the Cronulla Shire, theyre hoping its déjà vu for Heighington. ' ' '
