DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. William Perry Womens Jersey . - Chip Ganassi Racing drivers Kyle Larson and Sage Karam are feeling much more comfortable in their second Rolex 24 at Daytona.Both made their debut in the prestigious sports car race last January, and to this day, Larson believes his time in the No. 02 car was awful.His problems began on his first stint, when the car ran out of fuel as it headed to pit road for the driver change. The engine wasnt running when Larson got in the car, and after getting it started, he immediately stalled it as he tried to pull away.Then he sped down pit road and had to return for a speeding penalty. The sequence soured his mood, and Larson felt he was too slow during his time driving the car.I was out to lunch last year, said Larson, the reigning Sprint Cup Series rookie of the year.Karam didnt feel much better when he got his first crack at driving the No. 01. He drew the middle of the night graveyard shift and got into a damaged car that had handling issues and was off the pace.It wasnt a very fun stint. It wasnt a very good race, he said.Both are far more settled in this year after considerable track time during a test session earlier this month. And Karam drove in three other sports car races for Ganassi last season, finishing second with Scott Pruett at Indianapolis in July.In the pre-set driver rotations, Karam is now scheduled to drive the second stint after five-time winner Pruett. Larson is fourth in the rotation of Scott Dixon, Jamie McMurray and Tony Kanaan.Dixon said Larson was thrown into the deep end last year, but is set for Saturdays race.Kyle, his first year, everybody gets nervous, and his first stint started out with some issues, Dixon said. This year hes slipped right in, is straight-up to speed. I think hes not having to think about all the other things. A lot of people forget how different these cars are to a Cup car, especially with the electronics, with the switches and how they work. You look at the dash and all there are 40 switches on there.So Ive been pleasantly surprised at how fast they have gotten up to speed this year. Martellus Bennett Jersey .Y. - Centre Corban Knight scored 3:30 into overtime, and the Abbotsford Heat rallied to edge the Utica Comets 5-4 on Wednesday in American Hockey League play. Hroniss Grasu Jersey . Elliott Peterson, Connor Rankin and Kenton Helgesen supplied the scoring for the Hitmen (43-15-7), who are 11-0-1 in their last 12 games. Greg Chase assisted on all three. Edgars Kulda and Mitchell Moroz scored for the Oil Kings (44-16-3), who now trail Calgary by two points for top spot in the Eastern Conference.With time running out in the regular season, the Vancouver Canucks will try to make up ground in the Western Conference playoff race on Sunday when they host the lowly Buffalo Sabres. Sitting five points out of a playoff spot with only 10 games left on their schedule, the Canucks are in danger of missing the postseason in their first campaign under head coach John Tortorella. Although Vancouver didnt make it out of the first round in each of the last two springs, the club hasnt missed the playoffs since 2008. With 74 points, Vancouver is five behind Phoenix for the second wild card spot in the West. The Coyotes hold a game in hand over the Canucks, but with Phoenix idle on Sunday, Tortorellas club has a chance to cut the deficit to three points, Ryan Kesler and Daniel Sedin will return to action on Sunday and could help with Vancouvers postseason push. Sedin has missed the last nine games with an injured left hamstring, while Kesler has sat out the last four with a sprained right knee. Fellow forward Alexandre Burrows, however, expects to miss Sundays tilt after injuring his left hand in Vancouvers recent win over the Nashville Predators. Vancouver has won two of its last three games and is coming off Wednesdays 2-0 victory over visiting Nashville. Another win Sunday against the basement- dwelling Sabres would give the Canucks consecutive victories for the first time since beating Calgary and Edmonton from Jan. 18-21. The Canucks used a strong performance from rookie goaltender Eddie Lack to down the Predators. Lack made 30 saves for his fourth shutout of the season, while Alexander Edler and Nicklas Jensen scored in the third period for Vancouver. Jensen snapped a scoreless tie 6:06 into the third stanza. He scored from the top of the right circle after Henrik Sedin lost the puck in the slot. "Its being confident and not panicking and just trying to put it on net," Jensen said of his shot, which went just under the crossbar. Jim McMahon Bears Jersey. "The fact the coach gives me that opportunity is really good, but at the same time you have to show you want to be in those situations too." Vancouver is 17-11-6 as the host this season and is wrapping a brief two-game homestand on Sunday. Buffalo is last in the NHL with just 48 points this season, but the Sabres were able to snap a seven-game losing streak in their last trip to the ice, picking up a 3-1 win in Edmonton. Cory Conacher had two goals on deflections and picked up an assist to back Buffalo neophyte Matt Hackett in Thursdays win over the Oilers. Hackett, the fifth goaltender to start for Buffalo this season, made 35 saves and helped the Sabres kill off 5-of-6 Edmonton power plays. "I think we deserved that one," said Conacher. "We kept it pretty simple for the most part. We ran into a bit of penalty trouble, but our PK came up huge." Hackett, who was recently called up from Rochester of the American Hockey League, made his debut with the club that acquired from Minnesota last April. With Jhonas Enroth and Michal Neuvirth still out with lower-body injuries, 22- year-old rookie Nathan Lieuwen will make his second career start on Sunday. Hackett will serve as the backup. Buffalo is 8-22-3 on the road this season and is playing the third test of a five-game swing on Sunday. The Sabres will continue the trek Tuesday in Montreal before completing the trip Thursday against Nashville. The Sabres have won four of the last six meetings with Vancouver, but the Canucks recorded a 3-0 win in Buffalo on Oct. 17. Sundays game marks Buffalos first road game against the Canucks since posting a 5-3 win on March 3, 2012. Before that victory two years ago, the Sabres had been winless in their previous six trips to B.C., going 0-5-0 with a tie. cheap nfl jerseyscheap soccer jerseys ' ' '
