NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After losing three straight, the Nashville Predators got a balanced effort to get back on the winning track.Kevin Fiala and Viktor Arvidsson scored two goals each as five Predators players came through with their first points of the season to lead illness-depleted Nashville to a 5-1 victory over the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.Calle Jarnkrok also scored, P.K. Subban and Filip Forsberg each added two assistse, and Juuse Saros had 34 shots for his first NHL victory.It is part of Juuses growing process and how he is evolving through this organization, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. He has been off to a terrific start in (AHL) Milwaukee with three one-goal games and he has one-goal game here. He really bailed us out.Saros was one of the five players recalled from Milwaukee to fill in for several Predators players still suffering from food poisoning. The problem has been attributed by team officials to chicken soup as part of the pregame meal in Detroit on Friday night.We were much less sick for this game, Laviolette said. But they didnt get a chance to eat much. They couldnt keep anything down.Scott Wilson scored in the opening minute of the game for Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury gave up the five goals on 23 shots through the first two periods before being replaced by Mike Condon, who stopped all seven shots he faced in the third.We have to become a more difficult team to play against, Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. It starts with our decision making but its beyond that at this point.We show signs when we have our game together and we are hard to play against and we show other signs where we dont make the right decisions.Arvidsson tied the score on the power play at 3:08 of the first period, and Fiala beat Fleury with a wrister to start a four-goal second with his first of the season at 2:26.I was happy for Kevin, Laviolette said. He has been working hard, but you arent seeing it on paper. He built a lot of confidence playing on one of our top lines. He was a big contributor.Jarnkroks wrister made it 3-1 just past midway through the period with his first point of the season, and Fiala got his second goal about a minute later for his first career multi-goal game.Arvidssons second of the game and third of the season, into the top right corner of the net, capped the scoring with 36 second left in the second.It only took 52 seconds for Saros to give up his first goal in his second NHL start. Wilson skated in to beat Saros to his glove side with a wrist shot.I just tried to start the game all over again after that shot, Saros said. You cant keep thinking about those goals. You have to continue to keep playing.It was great to get my first NHL victory. It was an amazing thing. It was even better to get it against Pittsburgh since Fleury was one of my early idols. I have spent a lot of time watching his highlights.Saros credited his teammates with making his job a little easier by keeping the area in front of the net clear.I give a lot of credit to the guys in front of me particularly on rebounds, Saros said. They kept guys out of the front of the net so I could see the puck well. It was a lot of fun to play behind those guys.Pekka Rinne, Mike Fisher, Craig Smith and Colton Sissons were all sidelined dealing by the illness. Along with Saros, the others called up were forwards Frederick Gaudreau, Trevor Smith, Austin Watson and Harry Zolnierczyk.Game notes Nashvilles Yannick Weber and Saros each earned their first assists of the season. ...

Cheap Washington Redskins Jerseys .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.NORMAN, Okla. -- The Associated Press recently ranked Ohio State and Oklahoma the top two programs in college football history -- the Buckeyes No. 1 and the Sooners No. 2.The storied programs will meet Saturday for just the third time. No matter what they do, theyll have a tough time topping their original showdown.On Sept. 24, 1977, the Sooners and Buckeyes played a classic worthy of those top two spots in the all-time rankings. Oklahoma defeated Ohio State 29-28 in Columbus, Ohio, in a game that had just about everything -- a huge crowd, coaching legends, key injuries, eight turnovers and an Oklahoma squad that blew a 20-point lead before staging a furious rally in the final seven minutes to pull out the victory.Uwe von Schamann was the biggest of many heroes for the Sooners. The German-born kicker executed a successful onside kick in the final minutes, then nailed the game-winning field goal from 41 yards out with three seconds remaining.Von Schamann toyed with the Ohio Stadium crowd before the kick.I remember the crowd, von Schamann said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. I usually block out the crowd, but I heard the crowd in this instance, yelling `Block that kick! I dont know why I did it, kind of a spontaneous reaction, but I raised my arms and I led the chant.Von Schamann works in communication and development for the Childrens Center Rehabilitation Hospital in Bethany, Oklahoma. Dean Blevins, the backup quarterback who led the rally, is the sports director for KWTV News 9 in Oklahoma City. They helped the AP revisit that pivotal game.Oklahoma was ranked No. 3 and Ohio State No. 4. It was Ohio State coach Woody Hayes, who had won five national titles, against Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer, who won national titles in 1974 and 1975. Ohio Stadium was packed with 88,119 fans, the third-largest crowd for an Ohio State home game at the time.Oklahoma rolled to a 20-0 lead on the strength of Billy Sims running and Thomas Lotts wishbone mastery. Both were injured, however, and Oklahomas offense was stuck during the middle part of the game.Ohio State dealt with injuries, too. Their fullback, Jeff Logan, wasnt fully healthyy.dddddddddddd Ray Griffin, a star cornerback, switched to offense to fill in, which weakened the Buckeyes defense. Linebacker Tom Cousineau left the game early with a shoulder injury, and quarterback Ron Gerald, a dangerous runner, did not finish the game.A 30-yard touchdown run by Ron Springs on an option to the left side got the Buckeyes on the board for the first of 28 unanswered points.Blevins said the Sooners, no matter how much they were struggling, always believed Sooner Magic would prevail.We had an unbelievable amount of confidence, he said. That was just a trademark of Barry Switzer teams. We had come back at Nebraska the year before, and had come back a couple of times even prior to that.Oklahomas offense took over with 6:24 remaining in the fourth quarter and put together a 12-play, 43-yard touchdown drive. On fourth-and-goal from the 1, Blevins ran the option to his right and pitched to Elvis Peacock, who spun into the end zone after a hard hit to cut Ohio States lead to 28-26 with 1:21 to play. The same play failed on the two-point conversion, leaving the Sooners no choice but to go for the onside kick.Von Schamann said the Sooners had a plan. One of his coaches asked him which player he was going to hit with the ball so it would bounce off and give the Sooners a chance to recover.I told him the second guy from the left, von Schamann said. Sure enough, I hit it good, and it hit him in the chest, and Mike Babb recovered it.The Sooners took over at the 50-yard line.Blevins, who bounced back after throwing two interceptions earlier in the game, connected on a 18-yard pass to Steve Rhodes. Kenny King burst up the middle for six yards to put the Sooners in range. After two short runs, it was time for von Schamann to handle business.We positioned it where it was only a 41-yard kick, and thats an extra point or a chip shot for Uwe, Blevins said. So the only thought on the sideline watching it was the snap and the hold, because Uwe was going to do his job.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP ' ' '
