CALGARY, Alberta -- After falling behind early on the road, the Tampa Bay Lightning were pleased with the way they responded. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/T-Shirts/ .Brian Boyle scored two first-period goals and the Lightning beat Calgary 6-3 on Wednesday night to snap the Flames six-game winning streak.Thats a really good team over there. A lot of speed, a lot of skill. Theyre tough to play at home, and theyve been hot, Boyle said. Its never a perfect game, but we made some strides tonight.Alex Killorn also scored twice, the second into an empty net, and Braydon Coburn and Andrej Sustr added goals. Victor Hedman and Valtteri Filppula each had three assists, and Ben Bishop made 19 saves to help Tampa Bay win for only the second time in nine games (2-6-1).I give them credit. I thought they were the hungrier of the two teams and the margins were small and they deserved to get points out of there, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said.Troy Brouwer, TJ Brodie and Micheal Ferland scored for Calgary.Brouwer had a power-play goal 3:06 into the game before the Lightning tied it at 10:04, converting their first man advantage. With Dougie Hamilton serving a double-minor for high-sticking, Boyle neatly re-directed Hedmans point shot past goalie Chad Johnson.Tampa Bay took the lead for good less than 4 minutes later when Boyle got behind Brodie with a nifty give-and-go with Filppula and beat Johnson with a deke to his backhand.(Hedman) was a monster tonight. Hes such a huge part of our team. Head up on the first one. I just kind of had my stick out in the air and he hits it, sandlot style, Boyle said.Trailing 2-1, the Flames had a couple of good chances to tie it early in the second but Johnny Gaudreau hit the post and good defending from Anton Stralman prevented Ferland from getting away a shot on a breakaway.Shortly after, Coburn put the Lightning up 3-1 when his slap shot from the blue line beat Johnson. It was Coburns first goal in 102 games.Sustrs first of the season at 18:47 made it 4-1.It wasnt the start we wanted, but Im pretty happy with the resiliency of our group coming back, Killorn said. You cant always control the way that the game starts, but you can control how you respond to that and I think we responded really well.Gulutzan replaced Johnson with Brian Elliott to open the third. Killorn scored a short-handed goal 37 seconds into the period.There are going to be games where you just dont have it, Brouwer said. Its a shame, because I actually thought we were pretty good to start the game and I liked where we were at, but then we let a couple floater shots from the point get through -- things that are uncharacteristic of us.Game notes The Lightning were without leading scorer Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed), who joined Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan on the sidelines. Then they lost Ondrej Palat (undisclosed) in the second period. ... Cory Conacher, recalled earlier in the day from Syracuse of the AHL, took Kucherovs spot on the line with Tyler Johnson and Palat.... Hedman played in his 500th NHL game. ... Calgarys Sean Monahan had an assist to extend his career-best scoring streak to eight games. He has four goals and six assists during the run, the second-longest active streak in the NHL behind Sidney Crosby (nine games).UP NEXTLightning: Complete their four-day, three-game Canadian trip at Vancouver on Friday night and Edmonton on Saturday night.Flames: Host Columbus on Friday night. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Greg-Mancz-Jersey/ . PAUL, Minn. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Ryan-Griffin-Jersey/ .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Chris-Clark-Jersey/ . R.J. Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. CHICAGO -- New York Yankees pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is working out of the bullpen -- for now.With Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller off limits on Monday, manager Joe Girardi said Eovaldi was available in relief, but the hard-throwing right-hander watched as New York lost 8-2 to the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game series. Fresh off his first major league win, rookie Chad Green will start Friday night at Cleveland.Betances and Miller had pitched on three of the previous four days, and Eovaldi dropped his fourth consecutive start when he lasted just 4 1/3 innings in Fridays 7-6 loss to the Padres.I think it was somewhat logical with our needs right now, Girardi said before the loss to the White Sox. Hell get straightened out, that Im not worried about. Nathans got good stuff and I think he can really help us if we needed today.New York got Eovaldi in a December 2014 trade with Miami, and he went 14-3 with a 4.20 ERA in his first season with the Yankees. But this year has been a roller coaster.He went 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA during a seven-start stretch running from the end of April through May. But he hasnt won since that surge, going 0-4 with a 9.20 ERA in his last six outings.Speaking before he was told he will not be starting Friday, Eovaldi said he would be disappointed if he had to work as a reliever long term.Yeah, I started as a starter and I want to finish as a starter, he ssaid. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Jose-Altuve-Jersey/. I see myself as a starter, so Im not seeing it as that right now. Im just here to help the team and were short on guys and Im ready.Girardi also said he envisions Eovaldi as a starter and said he has no plans to go with six starters after the All-Star break, raising questions about what New York might do with its rotation.Green struck out eight while pitching six innings of one-run ball in Sundays 6-3 win at San Diego. Luis Severino also is pushing for a return after he was demoted to the minors on May 30, going 4-0 with a 3.16 ERA in his first six starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.Green threw really well yesterday and Nathan has struggled for this month, Girardi said. Were trying to get him straightened out.A day after he homered twice to get to 401 for his career, Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira got the day off to protect his right knee from the short turnaround between games. The switch-hitting first baseman came off the disabled list on June 25 after being sidelined with torn cartilage in his right knee.Carlos Beltran went 1 for 5 as the designated hitter and could test his right hamstring in the outfield on Tuesday.I thought he looked fine today, Girardi said. Well see how he feels tomorrow and well see if the outfield is an option.
