Less than 24 hours after allowing a late lead to slip away before losing in overtime, the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night will face a stiff test at Prudential Center from one of the NHLs top teams.The Tampa Bay Lightning, who have won five of seven to start the season and enjoyed a day off Friday while the Devils were losing to the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2, erased a 2-0 deficit in their first meeting with the Devils on Oct. 15 and earned a 3-2 regulation win.The Lightning have one thing working against them heading into this matchup -- right winger Nikita Kucherov is listed as day-to-day after suffering an injury in a 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. It was feared the injury could be serious, so even if he misses Fridays game against New Jersey, it still feels like the Lightning dodged a bullet.Its never fun to see guys not finishing games, defenseman Victor Hedman said to the Tampa Bay Times. Well see what the status is. Guys have an opportunity to step up and play more minutes. Weve been through this before. Thats what weve been known for the last few years, guys step up when other guys do down.The Lightning reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season without Stamkos for all but Game 7 of that series. They are one of the deepest teams in the league and can certainly survive a game or two without Kucherov, who has averaged nearly 30 goals per season over the past two seasons.The Lightning also have a wealth of goaltenders with Ben Bishop and Andrei Vasilevskiy in net.Bishop was a Vezina Trophy finalist last season and Vasilevskiy played well in his absence when he got hurt during the past two postseasons. Bishop played in Montreal on Thursday despite having his teeth knocked out in the previous game, so either goalie could get the nod against the Devils.In the time Ive been here, I dont think Ive ever sat here and said, This goalie is playing this way and I decide not to play him, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said to the Tampa Bay Times. Over time the last couple years with Vasy, weve tried to slowly put him in. Were trying to get him minimum one game a week.The Devils have a workhorse No. 1 goaltender in Cory Schneider who will be between the pipes after getting a night off for the first time this season against the Blackhawks. Schneider is off to another stellar start with a 2.00 goals-against average and .936 save percentage in six starts.The problem for the Devils continues to be scoring; in seven games, theyve only cracked the two-goal mark once.Against the Blackhawks, two goals appeared to be enough before right winger Marian Hossa scored late to force overtime and center Artem Anisimov won it.Devils coach John Hynes was upset with his teams decision making in the third period and overtime, something he wants fixed before the Lightning take the ice Saturday.We have to move past this one, Hynes said. We have to extract (the lesson). Thats really what I said tonight. The beauty of playing back to back is you have an opportunity to redeem yourself. Well take the lessons from this game and make sure we come out with a competitive effort like we did tonight and we got to get that smart part of our game in key situations to match our level of compete.Its a long season, and I think were going to get better at protecting leads and playing with leads, Devils left winger Taylor Hall said to NJ.com. Its not something that Im worried about. We can get a little more comfortable in those situations.

The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. At 3-0, the game was already wrapped up, but Melbourne Victory goalkeeper Lawrence Thomas ran the length of the field anyway.Max Beister had just put the finishing touch on Victorys third and final goal against Western Sydney on Saturday night, and Thomas got running.He was one of the first players to reach the clubs new signing, laying his great big glove on the Germans head as he celebrated in front of the Victory bench.As someone that started his career feeling on the outer, Thomas knew how much it would mean.From a personal experience when you come into a football team, the best way to feel involved and part of the club is when you have an impact on game day, he said on Tuesday.For him to come in and be scoring, it was the best thing that could have happened for him to feel a part of the club and feel welcome.Beister, who arrived at Victory on loan from German side Mainz just a few weeks earlier, took a great stride with that goal.The 26-year-old made a perfect start at his new club, but also in rebuilding a long-lost career.Beister has made just one senior start since battling a debilitating ACL injury suffered in early January 2014.Thomas, who was forced to travel a long road himself to earn the nod as Victorys No.dddddddddddd, could sense it was a special moment for a player who had taken the risk of re-booting his career half-way across the world.Thats why I ran the whole way up the field. I was pretty tired running back actually, he said.I thought it was important to share that moment with him.I think he was really excited and maybe surprised by the atmosphere.I dont know if he expected that from Australian football. He came in and said wow it was really loud ... I think its made a big (impression) on him and making him feel at home.Without a match this weekend due to the earthquake that has affected Wellington Phoenixs home ground Westpac Stadium, Beister could improve his conditioning to contend for a first-team berth against Newcastle in their next outing.Thomas had a personal connection to the earthquake, with a younger brother currently holidaying in New Zealand.My mum called me a bit worried ... I ended up hearing back from him, he was out quad riding so he was alright, he said.
