NEW YORK -- The matchup of young superstars Connor McDavid and John Tavares will be the main attraction Saturday night at Barclays Center. But McDavids Edmonton Oilers and Tavares New York Islanders will be less concerned about individual duels and more about snapping their respective teams losing streak when the Islanders host the Oilers in the fourth game of a five-game homestand.The Oilers suffered their third straight defeat Thursday, when they blew a trio of one-goal leads and gave up the final three goals in the third period of a 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers. The Islanders lost for the second straight time, and the fourth time in five games, when they blew a third-period lead before falling to the Philadelphia Flyers in the shootout.The losing streaks have reminded both the Oilers (7-3-1) and Islanders (4-6-1) how narrow the line is between victory and defeat in the NHL. Edmonton fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-2, in overtime on Tuesday.Obviously, youre never certain about anything -- youve got to play all 60 minutes, Oilers head coach Todd McLellan said.The Islanders have been reminded of that numerous times this season. New York has been tied or ahead in the third period in five of its seven losses.The Islanders inability to put games away is tied into the lack of scoring they have received from forwards. New York, which lost three of its nine 10-goal scorers from last year to free agency (Kyle Okposo, Frans Nielsen and Matt Martin) is tied for 12th in the league with 30 goals but has received just 19 goals from non-defensemen. Offseason signings Jason Chimera and Andrew Ladd have yet to score a goal.Thats my concern -- where are we going to get point production? Islanders head coach Jack Capuano said. Took 134 points out of our lineup that we lost and now weve got to find a way.If the Oilers or Islanders are going to steer out of their skids, theyll likely do so behind McDavid or Tavares. McDavid, who became the youngest captain in NHL history when he was bestowed the C prior to this season at age 19, leads Edmonton with five goals and eight assists. Tavares, who was a comparatively wizened 22 years old when New York named him captain prior to the 2013-14 season, has four assists and a team-high five goals.This will be the third time McDavid and Tavares oppose one another. McDavid had one goal and one assist while Tavares had a goal and two assists as the Oilers and Islanders split last seasons series.With both teams having Friday off, number one goaltenders Cam Talbot and Jaroslav Halak are likely to draw the starts. Talbot, who has started all 11 games this season for the Oilers, is 4-1-0 in seven career appearances against the Islanders. He earned the win the last time he faced New York on Feb. 28, when Talbot stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 3-1 victory at Rexall Place.Halak is 8-3-1 in 13 career appearances against the Oilers. He made 23 saves in taking the loss on Feb. 28. Cheap Air Max Clearance .

NEW YORK -- Alfonso Soriano took one look around Yankee Stadium and broke into a big, familiar smile. "This is my house, this is my home," he said. "Im happy I have the opportunity to come back to New York -- 10 years." The New York Yankees reacquired Soriano in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on Friday, hoping the seven-time All-Star can provide a power boost to a team that desperately needs pop. Soriano immediately went into the starting lineup, batting cleanup and playing left field against Tampa Bay. The Cubs got minor league pitcher Corey Black and will send almost $17.7 million to the Yankees to cover the rest of Sorianos rich contract. "Weve obviously been trying to improve our offence, to no avail, throughout this season," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "By far, he is the best available bat to date." Soriano outhomered the Yankees all by himself (10-8) in the four weeks prior to the deal. Overall, the 37-year-old was hitting .254 with 17 homers and 51 RBIs with the Cubs. The Bronx Bombers led the majors with 245 home runs last year, but have become the Bronx burn-outs this season, ranking next-to-last in the AL with only 88. Banged up, theyve played most of the year without Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Their slump from the right side -- Soriano hits righty -- is even more acute. Its been a month since a right-hander homered for the Yankees, with Jayson Nix the last to do it on June 25. Soriano got a big ovation when the public-address announcer read the lineups and welcomed him with "and once again a Yankee." Soriano saluted the stadiums Bleacher Creatures during their roll call, and was cheered again when his past Yankees highlights were shown on the video board. Wearing his socks high, Soriano got an assist when his throw led to an inning-ending out in the top of the second. He led off the bottom half and flied out. Soriano made his major league debut with the Yankees in 1999 and quickly blossomed into a rare package of speed and power. In 2002, he hit 39 homers and 51 doubles while batting .300, stealing 41 bases, scoring 128 runs and driving in 102. "Hes not the same player he used to be," Cashman said, "but he certainly provides some thunder from the right side that weve been lacking." Cashman hinted, too, that more deals might be in the works. The Yankees began the day with a 54-48 record and in fourth place in the AL East, 6 1/2 games behind division-leading Boston. Soriano got his old No. 12, with Vernon Wells shifting to No. 22. The Yankees optioned outfielder Thomas Neal to Triple-A to make room for Soriano. Soriano waived his no-trade clause to rejoin his old team. He was popular with teammates and fans for five seasons before New York traded him to Texas in a deal for Rodriguez. "Hes played there before," Granderson said earlier in the day at the teams spring training complex in Tampa, Fla. "Thats one thing that is a difficult thing to adjust to." "Youve got to come to New York and can you handle it, can you not? Obviously he had in the past," he said. Soriano has never played a regular-season game at the new Yankee Stadium. He did, however, hit a home run in his lone game at the ballpark -- in April 2009, the CCubs played a pair of exhibition games at Yankee Stadium before the official opener.dddddddddddd Soriano has hit 389 career home runs while playing for the Yankees, Texas, Washington and the Cubs. In the 2001 World Series, Soriano hit a home run that almost became part of the Yankees lore. His go-ahead shot in the eighth inning off Curt Schilling in Game 7 put New York close to another championship, but Arizona rallied in the ninth to win it. A free swinger, Soriano is known more for power than getting on base. Hes drawn just 15 walks in 93 games this season. The deal was the latest move for the Cubs before the July 31 deadline for trades without waivers. This month, they traded pitcher Matt Garza to Texas and pitcher Scott Feldman to Baltimore. Chicago was fourth in the NL Central at 45-55. Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said Soriano impressed him, on and off the field. "I think when I came here, for some reason I was under the impression that he would be a negative in the clubhouse and someone that was out for himself, someone who didnt play the game hard all the time. I was quickly disavowed of that notion," Epstein said. "The first time we met with him, we asked him to work on his defence. We asked him to run the bases hard. We asked him to run balls out. We asked him to be a good example for the younger players, and we asked him to always play the game hard and to try to win the fans back over and be a leader in the clubhouse. He said, OK, and he went out and did it." Epstein called Soriano "an ultimate pro" and said it was good to trade him now, rather than someday when he wasnt an everyday guy. "Thats always a really difficult transition for an elite player, a superstar player, in the final innings of his career. Thats a difficult transition to make and it can often kind of muddy the waters a little bit," Epstein said. "He really leaves at the right time with his head held high. And we can all be proud of the career he had as a Cub," he said. The 21-year-old Black was 3-8 with a 4.25 ERA in 19 starts for Class A Tampa. The right-hander is averaging 9.6 strikeouts per nine innings in his first full pro season. Chicago will pay $17,688,524 of the $24,491,803 remaining on Sorianos $136 million, eight-year contract. The Yankees will pay a total of $6,803,279: a prorated rate of $5 million for this years $18 million salary and $5 million of Sorianos $18 million salary in 2014, the final season of the deal. "I think hes a great addition. One of my favourite teammates of all-time," said Teixeira, who played with Soriano in Texas in 2004-05. "I love the move. We need a right-handed bat, obviously. We need that thump. We need to score a few more runs, and hes one of those guys that can beat you with one swing," he said. Soriano needs 11 hits to reach 2,000 lifetime. His career leadoff home runs are second most in history to Rickey Hendersons 81. NOTES: The Yankees are hoping SS Derek Jeter (strained right quadriceps) can come off the disabled list Saturday. He was set to see a doctor Friday. ... Teixeira, whos had season-ending surgery on his right wrist, expects to begin his off-season training program in November and start swinging a bat in January, both right on schedule. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
