| Jared Cowen started the season last week on the Ottawa Senators top defensive pairing with Erik Karlsson. Lyle Overbay Jersey . But just a few days later, Cowen was a healthy scratch for the clubs 1-0 win over the Florida Panthers on Monday night - a decision the defenseman admits caught him a little bit off guard. Yeah it surprised me. Only two games, so yeah it did surprise me, Cowen admitted to reporters on Wednesday afternoon. It sucks only the third game of the year. I just need to be better though. It looks like Cowen may be a healthy scratch again when the Senators host the Colorado Avalanche in their home opener on Thursday night. Based on the way the club ran practice on Wednesday, Cowen appears to be the odd man out once again. Paul MacLean did not confirm his lineup for Thursdays game against the Avalanche, but all signs point to Cowen being out of the lineup at this point. Right now Jared needs to come to the rink every day and continue to work at his game. Hes still a young player in this game -- just over 100 games - so theres still a lot to learn. There are still lots of good games left in Jared Cowen. Theres like 900 games left in him, MacLean told the media. Sometimes its hard to be that age and we dont want him to accept that youre being scratched from games. But we expect youre going to come in and work with us to become a better player because thats what its all about. Cowen saw only 13:37 of ice time against the Lightning on Saturday night and was benched for the majority of the third period and overtime after he was on the ice for Tampa Bays tying goal. While Cowen thought he played a decent game in the opener in Nashville, he admitted his performance against the Lightning left something to be desired. Tampa wasnt as good. Hard to put your finger on it, but I think looking back on it, you just want to do your job and not worry about anybody else. Take care of the simple things and then after that, the game comes to you. Both Cowen and MacLean dismissed the notion that being partnered with Karlsson has contributed to his early season struggles. Karlsson is an offensive-oriented defenceman who doesnt always play a traditional game on the back end, which could make him a tough partner for some defencemen. Ive played enough with him where I know what hes going to do and his tendencies to be able to figure it out. Its not rocket science. He is uncharacteristic of most players, but its nothing that I shouldnt be able to handle, Cowen said. MacLean reiterated on Wednesday that the defenceman he takes out of the lineup will have a left-shot - meaning that Cowen and Patrick Wiercioch remain the most likely candidates to be scratched at this point. Cowen is under the microscope this season, as he tries to bounce back from a subpar 2013-14 campaign which coincided with him signing a four-year contract extension worth $12.4 million. The 23-year-old says that the mental aspect of his game is just fine, despite the limited playing time in the first week of the season. Yeah, I have confidence, its just getting games going and shifts and rhythms. In Nashville I felt like I was getting that, but in Tampa not really, not on and off the ice. Cowen also says hes no longer feeling any effects of hip surgery from the fall of 2012 - a significant injury that stalled his development after a banner rookie season in 2011-12. I think last year I was feeling good at this point, but once the games got going it started to wear on me. But I dont think thats going to happen to me this year. I feel stronger, fitter, and more capable of playing the whole season, said Cowen. Taylor Clarke Jersey .com) - Joique Bells touchdown run in the fourth quarter gave the Detroit Lions a 20-14 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Matt Andriese Jersey . It was the quickest three-goal sequence in Olympic history, with the latter two coming just eight seconds apart. Kessel, Lamoureux and Kendall Coyne all scored twice for the Americans, and Molly Schaus made 10 saves in her Sochi debut. https://www.cheapdiamondbacksjerseys.us/968l-steven-souza-jersey-diamondbacks.html .com) - Rakeem Christmas scored 21 points, B.The Ottawa Senators conclude a season-opening three-game road trip this evening as they look to keep the Florida Panthers winless on the young campaign. Viewers in the Ottawa region can watch the Senators face the Panthers at 7:30pm et. The game can also be heard live on TSN Radio 1200 at 7:30pm et. The Senators have split the first two of this swing, losing in regulation to Nashville on Thursday before notching a 3-2 shootout win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. Mark Stone and Erik Karlsson scored third-period goals and both Kyle Turris and Mika Zibanejad had shootout tallies. Robin Lehner made 38 saves in the win. We were pesky and stuck with it, said Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean. Much of the game didnt go the way we planned it, but we had some good work from the defense and goalie and it paid off. The Panthers will need a better effort from their defense and goaltending as they try to avoid a third straight setback. Florida was edged 3-2 in overtime by Tampa Bay on Thursday before getting routed 5-1 by the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. The Devils scored four times in the first period and scored the first goal of the second frame before Derek MacKenzie stopped the bleeding with a power-play tally for the Panthers. MacKenzies goal came with 3:29 left in the frame off assists from Scottie Upshall and Brian Campbell. Roberto Luongo surrendered five goals on 14 shots in less than 23 minutes of action to take the loss. Bob Brenly Jersey. Al Montoya finished up by making 10 saves. The first few were a couple of bad bounces there, Luongo said. Tough start but no excuses. I have to make a couple of saves to keep the team in the game and I didnt do that. The Senators and Panthers split four meetings a season ago, but Ottawa has won 13 of the previous 17 encounters overall. The Sens also have won seven of their last 10 in Sunrise.
