3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. New

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Jack is back.Young superstar Jack Eichel made his long-awaited return for the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, and he didnt wait very long to make his presence felt. Eichel had a goal and an assist in the first period to lead the Sabres to a 5-4 victory over the Ottawa Senators.Hell look to build off that commanding performance in his home debut Thursday night against the New York Rangers. Eichel missed the first 21 games of the season because of a high ankle sprain.Thats the kind of the spark we were looking for when we need a little bit more offense, center Sam Reinhart told the Sabres web site. I think it elevated a bunch of guys games; it just kind of gave us that little more confidence out there that we can play with the puck and make plays.Indeed, Eichels presence caused a ripple effect throughout the entire Sabres roster against the Senators. The NHLs lowest-scoring team scored two goals or fewer in its previous 13 games before erupting for five against the Senators.Eichels goal was a beauty. The 20-year-old ripped a quick one-timer on the power play 6:16 into the game.I think it adds a big dimension to our team, right from the beginning on our power play, Sabres coach Dan Bylsma told the Sabres web site. A different level of execution, a different level of speed. He gets the power-play goal, the first ones a great pass play and the second one is something weve sorely missed on our power play, the one-time from Jack.Ryan OReilly had two goals, including the game-winner, for Buffalo (8-9-5) against Ottawa.Backup goaltender Anders Nilsson is expected to start after No. 1 Robin Lehner suffered a hip injury against the Senators. Lehner is considered day-to-day.I dont have any further update other than what we gave (Tuesday) night, its hip and its day-to-day, Bylsma said. Hes lobbying to backup tomorrow but hes going to see how it is in the morning.The Rangers (16-7-1) are coming off a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. New York came from behind and scored twice in the third period to pick up the victory.Power forward Rick Nash was the standout against Carolina with a goal and an assist.Theres no doubt that Rick tonight was the leader of this team by his play, coach Alain Vigneault told the Rangers web site. He made some great defensive plays, obviously that first shift in the third where he tied it up for us and then made that great play on the power play. He played the type of game that we needed against a tough opponent.The Rangers are looking to win two games in a row for the first time since mid-November. New York is 3-3-1 in its last seven games. Before that, the Rangers won eight of nine. Sione Takitaki Browns Jersey .875,000, avoiding arbitration.

Jon Montgomerys gold medal in skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre and his subsequent auctioning off of a pitcher of beer in the village square elevated him to folk-hero status. Western Sydney marquee Nicolas Martinez says hes starting to find his feet in the A-League after impressing in his starting debut.The 29-year-old Argentine playmaker needed less than two minutes to make an impact in his first start in five months, setting up Brendon Santalab on Saturday for the opening goal against Central Coast.The Wanderers let their lead slip and went on to draw the match 1-1 but, for Martinez, who is on loan from Greek club Olympiacos and still acclimatising to Australian conditions and the combative nature of the A-League, it was a pivotal moment.After this match, I feel like I can do it in this position, Martinez said.I feel comfortable with the running part, physically, with the ball, with the rhythm.Im happy the coach has given me the trust to start.Maybe in the beginning, it was difficult bbut now Im getting fitter day by day.ddddddddddddIm not 100 per cent yet but Im working to try and be there as fast as possible.Martinez lasted only 60 minutes against the Mariners but should be better for the run and is expected to retain his spot for Sundays away trip to Perth.Both sides are coming off deflating results, with the Glory having been thoroughly outplayed in a 2-1 defeat to Brisbane.Its going to be a difficult match. Theyre going to be physically strong, which is why we have to be mentally prepared, Martinez said.Sometimes, we have to be more patient with the ball, dont lose it so easily and be more compact when we have the ball.Match by match, were going to improve a lot.
