Two certainties about this season:The?Florida Panthers Jaromir Jagr will continue to defy age and score goals.The Calder Trophy race between the early front-runners -- Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets and Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs -- will rage on for the entire season if both rookies remain healthy.The start of the regular season has revealed unlikely developments, including the?San Jose Sharks Brent Burns?vying for the league lead?in scoring. Between the pipes, Montreal Canadiens backup Al Montoya is second among all goaltenders with a .962 save percentage, and?Edmonton Oilers goalie?Cam Talbot has five wins.Theres plenty of hockey left to be played, and the faces of those statistical categories will change soon. But here are five early predictions that will hold up:Carey Price will lead the Canadiens back to the postseason. He suffered a season-ending knee injury last November, but Montreals No. 1 netminder returned to health and led Team Canada to a World Cup of Hockey championship last month in Toronto. Once the regular season began, however, he was sidelined again with what was diagnosed as a severe case of the flu. He missed the first three games and the Canadiens went 2-0-1 with Montoya in net.Price made his season debut Thursday and posted a 27-save performance to help Montreal win 5-2 over the Arizona Coyotes?at Bell Centre. If Price can stay healthy, the Canadiens could compete for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. Montoya has been solid, but it says here that Price will have a productive season and lead his team into the Stanley Cup playoffs in the spring.The?Tampa Bay Lightning?are not in trouble. Its too early to claim a team is inconsistent, but after starting 3-0-0, the Lightning were ravaged in a 4-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche (3-1-0) on Thursday at home. That loss will serve as the early-season wakeup call the Lightning need. The Avalanche look like a team that will contend for a playoff spot in the Central Division, but Tampa, the team many experts predicted would win the Stanley Cup in 2017, should not be shut out by Colorado.Expect the Lightning to enjoy more consistent play, and they will be rewarded with reaching the century mark in points after finishing with?97 in 2015-16.The Ducks will heat up, the Canucks will cool off. The Anaheim Ducks are 1-3-1 in the first five games, which is a little bit concerning since they won the Pacific Division last season with 103 points. Take a deep breath and recall how the Ducks began the 2015-16 season: losing nine of 10 before turning it around. The Ducks are too good to falter much longer. Plus, the teams first five games were on the road.The Ducks opened at home on Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks, who happen to be 4-0-0. This category is twofold: The Ducks will start winning games consistently, and the Canucks will cool off. After all, the addition of forward Loui Eriksson is a massive help for the Canucks, but Vancouver cant sustain this type of success for the entire season, right? Maybe the Canucks will prove everyone wrong.Brad Marchand will score 40 or more for the Bruins. The ink on his new eight-year, $49 million contract extension with the Boston Bruins isnt even dry yet, but the top-line winger has carried his World Cup of Hockey momentum into the regular season.After his short-handed goal with 43.1 seconds remaining in regulation led Team Canada to a 2-1 championship victory over Team Europe last month at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Marchand leads the league with three goals and six assists for nine points in five games. Even though he has a fat new deal, hes not the type of player to relax and go through the motions. He scored 38 goals last season and you can bet hell surpass that mark this season.The Oilers will keep scoring, as will the Senators (sort of). In the early going, Edmonton was tied for the NHL in team scoring, with 23 goals in six games. With a strong pool of talent, led by captain Connor McDavid, the Oilers should remain near the top of that category for the remainder of the regular season.The Ottawa Senators?have?18 goals each in five games. They are starting to cool off, but will likely still finish in the top 10 in the league in scoring thanks to the offensive production from defenseman Erik Karlsson, who already has two goals and five assists for seven points in five games.The Senators have missed the playoffs twice in the past three seasons, but they will compete for a postseason berth this spring.Mattias Ekholm Predators Jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. Calle Jarnkrok Predators Jersey .S. Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. http://www.authenticpredatorspro.com/Nick-bonino-predators-jersey/ . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Yannick Weber Predators Jersey . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. Austin Watson Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.KIEV, Ukraine -- They had been the Champions Leagues kings of the late surprise earlier in the season, but Besiktas had no answer to a 6-0 onslaught from Dynamo Kiev as it was eliminated from the competition Tuesday.The game was all but over by halftime in Ukraine, with Besiktas four goals down, and the Turkish champions finished with nine men following two red cards. The game was marred by fan violence in and around the stadium.Besiktas showed no sign of the never-say-die spirit that had characterized the teams Champions League campaign, with a late win over Napoli and a 3-3 draw from being 3-0 down against Benfica last time out.Instead, it slumped to a heavy defeat in a mostly empty stadium against a Dynamo team that was already sure to finish last in Group B, but that recorded its biggest Champions League win. Its previous mark was 4-0, after victories in 1997 and 2000.Besiktas needed a win to go through thanks to group winner Napolis 2-1 victory at Benfica.Dynamos star winger Andriy Yarmolenko started the nights torment for Besiktas with smart footwork on the byline and a cross to the far post for Artyom Besedin to score the ninth-minute opener.Besiktas looked lively for the next 20 minutes until defender Andreas Beck was dismissed for a collision with Derlis Gonzalez, who wass through on goal for Dynamo.ddddddddddddYarmolenko scored the resulting penalty and Vitaliy Buyalskiy soon made it 3-0 with a lobbed effort after a Besiktas defensive mix-up.A deflected shot from Gonzalez provided Dynamos fourth in first-half stoppage time, and Serhiy Sydorchuk added the fifth in the 60th with a shot on the rebound, shortly after Besiktas striker Vincent Aboubakar was red-carded for a second offense.Junior Moraes made it 6-0 before Dynamo twice hit the woodwork.There were confrontations between Besiktas fans and police inside the stadium during the game, but no indication of major violence.However, Ukrainian media said as many as 300 fans were involved in a mass brawl in a street near the stadium. Video footage posted online appeared to show a crowd of fans shouting Dynamo slogans and using sticks and pyrotechnics as weapons.The win could prove a morale-booster for Dynamo, with the teams struggles in Europe being mirrored by troubles at home, with the Ukrainian champion 10 points off league leader Shakhtar Donetsk.Eliminated from the Champions League, Besiktas will take its place in the Europa League after finishing third in its group.
