CALGARY, Alberta -- The Calgary Flames host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome in a battle of two well-rested teams.Both the Flames (16-13-2) and Lightning (14-13-2) have enjoyed a break in their schedules since they last played on Saturday night.While the Flames beat the Winnipeg Jets 6-2 at home on Saturday for their sixth straight win, the Lightning dropped a 4-3 decision to the Pittsburgh Penguins in Tampa earlier the same evening.Although the streaking Flames are back in contention, Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan cautioned that his players will have to continue to build on that momentum to stay in the mix in the highly-competitive Pacific Division.We have moved the bar for ourselves in the last month, Gulutzan said. Everybody knows about our start, we dug ourselves a hole and we are starting to get ourselves out of it. Weve got a lot of work to do, but we have a great group.Included in that group is goaltender Chad Johnson, who has gone 9-1-0 in his past 10 starts.Obviously, it starts with (Johnson) back there in the pipes, said center Sean Monahan, who has shrugged off a slow start to his season with the Flames by recording points in seven straight games, which is a career high.Hes giving us that confidence to go out there and work for him. When were getting the chances were putting the puck in the back of the net. I think that comes down to us sticking to our structure and keeping it simple. Thats why were getting our chances.While the Flames are on fire, the same cant be said for the Lightning, who have gone 1-6-1 in its past eight games and 4-7-1 since superstar center Steven Stamkos suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee.After enjoying a three-day break from action, Tampa Bay will play three road games in four nights starting with Wednesdays tough test against Calgary. The Lightning will then play the Canucks in Vancouver on Friday before taking on the Oilers in Edmonton the next night.Weve had a little time to practice, Lightning coach Jon Cooper told the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday. Weve had a little rest. Were going to need that going on the road here especially that were playing three in four nights. I think every team that we play is sitting home waiting for us for a couple of days, so we have to be on our game.Despite the slump his team is in, Cooper said his players have kept up a positive attitude.Nobody wants to be in the situation that were in, but we are in that situation and we have to work our way out just like everybody else, said Cooper.The Lightning recalled right winger Erik Condra and defenseman Slater Koekkoek from the AHLs Syracuse Crunch on Monday. Koekkoek was sent down to the AHL for two games to get some much-needed playing time before being called back up.Hes taking big steps, positive steps every single year, Cooper told the Times. When our D corps finally got healthy, we could afford to play him some games in Syracuse. Hes definitely part of our team. Hes coming with us out west. Our goal is to get him in and getting back helping us. Cheap Jerseys . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. Cheap Jerseys From China .

Coach Laurie Daley says the next NSW State of Origin captain will be told a month or two before the 2017 series so he can be fully prepared.On the same day NSW Sports Minister Stuart Ayres turned the first sod at the site of the Blues new home in Homebush, Daley named five players in contention to succeed Paul Gallen as skipper in 2017.And former Blues hero and code-hopper Jarryd Hayne isnt one of them, despite his rock-star return to the NRL for Gold Coast over the past fortnight.He mightve been someone we may have looked at but at the moment I wouldnt like to put that sort of pressure on him, Daley said on Wednesday.The guys that stand out from this years series have been your (Aaron) Woods, (Boyd) Cordners, Josh Jacksons, your Wade Grahams, the younger breed that are coming through.Theyre the guys you look to as your next leader. Theyre all in the frame but that wont be decided until next year.Daley said he would speak to players, club coaches and Gallen himself before putting forward a captaincy recommendation to the NSWRL board next year.Game one will be played at Suncorp Stadium with dates yet to be finalised.Well let whoever it is know a month or two beforehand, as long as theyre fit, Daley said.ddddddddddddTheres a great responsibility with being the captain. Im sure that well talk about that with them and work through anything they need any help with and see how they go from there.The NSWRLs $20 million facility is being half-funded by the state government and will be the new home of the mens and womens Origin teams and host the Blues emerging team camps.A full-size training field is expected to be ready to use by the end of this year, with the facility to be built by the end of next year, directly across the road from ANZ Stadium.Ayres is proud to have invested in the Blues new digs.If we want to see our State of Origin team perform year in, year out weve got to embed that high performance culture right from junior sport all the way to the top, he said.This is what this facility is about doing. Since the closure of Phillip Street its probably fair to say NSWRL hasnt had a real home and so this allows us to bring all the administrative support and facilities together with the high performance pathways.
