TAMPA, Fla. Philadelphia Phillies Shirts . -- The Tampa Bay Lightning are gaining momentum entering the stretch run. Steven Stamkos and Ondrej Palat both had a goal and an assist to lead the Lightning past the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Monday night. Valtteri Filppula and Tom Pyatt also scored for the Lightning, who moved into a second-place tie with Montreal -- with one game at hand -- in the Atlantic Division after completing a 3-1-2 homestand. Ben Bishop extended his single-season team record with his 32nd win. "Great homestand, especially after you drop the first one," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. "Its not how you get there, you just need the points." Vancouver, 10th in the Western Conference, is 3-6-1 in its last 10 games. Alexandre Burrows scored two goals, and Jannik Hansen added a short-handed tally for the Canucks. "We know we still have a chance, but obviously we need to string wins together, and not just three, four or five," Hansen said. "We need to start winning games and a lot of them." Burrows had an assist on Hansens goal for a three-point game. He had a goal and two assists in Sundays 4-3 shootout win at Florida. After Pyatt scored midway through the third period, the Canucks got within one on goals by Burrows at 11:44 and Hansen at 15:16. "Weve still got to fix some things," Stamkos said. "You take a lead into the third we know, especially teams that are fighting for their playoff lives, theyre going to throw everything at us. We have to be a little smarter." Stamkos put the Lightning up 1-0 with a power-play goal from the low slot 17:56 into the game. Palat, who assisted on the goal, has five assists and nine points during a five-game point streak. Bishop made in-close rebound saves on Alexander Edler and Shawn Matthias late in the first. After Eddie Lack stopped eight shots early in the second, Tampa Bay went ahead 2-0 when Palats pass went off sliding Canucks defenceman Ryan Stanton and into the net at 6:54. Filppula made it 3-0 with 9 seconds left in the second when his pass deflected off Stanton and past Lack. The centre has two goals and eight points during a five-game point streak. "The first one, hes in the middle of the ice, taking ice away," Canucks coach John Tortorella said. "If hes going to go down and try to take away that in the short ice in a two-on-one, hes got to be more off to the post so it cant happen that way. "The second one that goes in, its just a tough break. A little bit of puck luck there, but it doesnt matter. We didnt get points, and we need points." Burrows ended Bishops bid for a second consecutive shutout on a power-play rebound goal 5:44 into the third. Bishop got his fifth shutout this season in a 3-0 victory over New Jersey on Saturday. "You look at the checks and balances at the end of the day, it is who won and who lost. And we won," Cooper said. NOTES: The Lightning held a pregame ceremony honouring the 2004 Stanley Cup championship team. Tortorella coached Tampa Bay in 2004 and walked to centre ice to a loud ovation when he was introduced. He had dinner with his former players Sunday night. "Im not a big reminiscent-type guy, but when I sat with the guys last night and had that opportunity, it was truly a nice moment for me to be with them," Tortorella said. ... Stamkos has two goals in six games since he returned from a broken right shin. ... Filppulas goal was his 300th NHL point. Stitched Phillies Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla. Fake Phillies Jerseys . Five years ago, Nestor and Zimonjic beat the American twins to win the title.

Jannero Pargo scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter to help the Charlotte Bobcats erase a 21-point deficit and rally for an 83-76 preseason victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.TAMPA, Fla. - Tampa Bays Mike Evans resists labels that describe him as a football player, especially those that shortchange what hes accomplished as part of an outstanding class of rookie receivers lighting up the NFL.The seventh overall pick in last springs draft has been much more than a bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for the Buccaneers (2-12), who have the NFCs worst record and could wind up with the No. 1 draft pick in 2015.Odell Beckham, Jr.s acrobatic, one-handed reception during a breakout performance for the New York Giants in prime time is being trumpeted as the greatest catch of the season. Sammy Watkins has helped the Buffalo Bills move to the brink of their first winning season in a decade. Kelvin Benjamin has compiled an impressive resume with the Carolina Panthers.But arguably no offensive rookie has meant more to his team than Evans, whos already tied Tampa Bays single-season record for touchdown receptions with 11. Thats tied for fourth in the NFL — most by a rookie — and an astounding 44 per cent of the Bucs offensive TDs.Thats kind of crazy, the 6-foot-5, 231-pound Evans said.I expected to do well. ... Im humble, but Im confident in my game, the 21-year-old receiver said. If I wasnt confident, I would have stayed in college. I came out. I thought I had the physicality to be successful. Ive made the transition the way I thought I would.If there was a knock on Evans entering the NFL after spending the last two seasons as Johnny Manziels favourite target at Texas A&M, it was he lacked the speed to be a consistent deep threat. That hasnt been the case despite playing much of the season with struggling quarterback Josh McCown, the NFCs lowest-rated passer.Evans has 13 receptions of 25-plus yards — five more than both Beckham and Watkins, and six more than Benjamin and Jacksonvilles Allen Hurns. He has four catches over 40 yards, matching Beckham, Hurns and Pittsburghs Martavis Bryant, including a 56-yarder for a TD during a seven-catch, 209-yard performance against Washington.Beckham torched the Redskins with 12 receptions for 143 yards and three TDs last week, taking the lead among rookies with 972 yards receiving. Evans is third with 948, four behind Benjamin.With Watkins standing at 850 with two games remaining in the regular season, four rookies are within striking distance of 1,000 for the year. If at least three get there, it would be a league first. The only year more than one rookie receiver finished with 1,000-plus yards was 1986: Bill Brooks had 1,131 for the Colts and Ernest Givins finished with 1,062 for the Oilers.Beckham and LSU college teammate Jarvis Landry, drafted in the second round by the Dolphins, lead all rookies with 71 receptions. Theyre followed by Benjamin (67), Evans (59), Watkins (59) and Philadelphias Jordan Matthews (56). With nine touchdowns, Beckham and Benjamin trail Evans, who has nine in his past seven games following a relatively quiiet start. Phillies Jerseys China. Green Bays Jordy Nelson, whos having a career season, said its difficult to not notice Evans emergence.I havent been able to watch him too much, but Ive seen some of his highlights on TV. Hes obviously a big guy that can make plays. Hes got a huge catch radius, and what he can do after the catch as well, the Packers receiver said, noting you have to be impressed with any rookie with a shot at topping 1,000 yards.I think every rookie receiver, especially drafted early, theyll have their splash games and youll see the talent and the ability thats there, Nelson said. But to grasp an offence and get that chemistry down with a quarterback and sustain it in a season ... its impressive. You can tell that hes put a lot into it and hes got a bright future.Watkins was the first of five receivers drafted in the first round, No. 4 overall, three spots before Evans. Beckham was taken 12th and has blossomed after missing the first four games because of injury. New Orleans Brandin Cook (No. 20) had 53 catches before being lost for the year with a thumb injury, and Benjamin (No. 28) has given Carolina a boost during an otherwise tough season for the Panthers offensively.Its been huge with all the roster turnover in the off-season at that position to have Kelvin cone in as our top pick and hit the ground running from the first game and keep that consistency, Carolina tight end Greg Olsen said.He brings a ton to the table physically, but his mental approach for a young kid has been tremendous. He studies, he wants to do well, he wants to do everything right. Theres a reason hes had success on the field. He works that way, he continues to want to improve. ... The sky is the limit. Hes just going to continue to get better.McCown said Evans undoubtedly has benefitted from playing opposite receiver Vincent Jackson, whos closing in on his third straight 1,000-yard season with the Bucs, sixth overall.Jackson leads the Bucs with 66 receptions, but has only two TDs — none in the past 10 games.Hes a big part of my success. Hes one of the best receivers in the league. I looked up to him and watched him a lot when I was in high school and college. Its surreal to be playing with him, Evans said. Whatever he has to say, I listen.As good as Evans has been catching the football, the most memorable play of his rookie year may wind up being — of all things — a block. Much like video of Beckhams much-talked-about circus catch, Evans blocking and eventually knocking Cincinnatis Terrence Newman to the ground against the Bengals is must-see viewing.It was kind of weird. ... I guess he was upset. I had pushed him right before that and I guess he wanted to (retaliate) and he launched at me, Evans said. It was awkward. He kind of ended up in the air, and I just slammed him. ... It didnt seem like much at the time. Much better on tape.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
